MISS JESSIE b. RITTENHousE
To be the Attraction at the Next
Aeeing Of The Poetry Diseussios
Group, Saturday, October 18th.

Group, Saturday, October 18th.
The next meeting Of the Poetry Dis
cussion Group will be held Saturday
afternoon, October 18th, at 3 O'Clock,
at the home Of Miss Jennie Valentine,
S02 Pleasant street, Bennington. Miss
Jessie Rittenhouse OF New York, will
be the speaker for the afternoon.
To Miss Rittenhouse more than TO
any other one person is due the great
interest the public has taken in this
present poetic revival. She has been
an altruistic and indefatigable worker
in this cause-for il has amounted TO
"a cause" Her work was begun in
Boston in 1900-her first book, vol
ume Of critical essay--about the poets
then coming into prominence, called
"The Younger American Poets" was
published about that time.
This was followed by her first an
thology, "The Little Book Of American
Poets" Then her second anthology,
"The Little Book Of Modern Verse"
after which came book Of her own
poems, Doors" and last year, her
third anthology, "The Second Book Of
Modern Verse" In 1909, Miss Ritten-
house, together with Edward j.
Wheeler, (editor OF Current Opinion
and Literary DigesD, aided by small
group Of poets in and near New York,
founded The Poetry Society Of Amer
lea, society which has done much
toward developing poetry and giving
the poets Of this country an oppor-
tunity to be heard. Until last year,
Miss Rittenhouse has been acting sec
retary for this society, when owing to
the pressure upon her time for lectur-
ing she felt obliged TO give up that
work.
Our poetry group is forcing its hand
a bit in bringing Miss Rittenhouse
to lecture for US this fall, but such an
opportunity can hardly be missed, so
the secretary is asking each member
to try to influence at least two people
outside the society TO come to this
meeting in order that our expenses
may be met.
These meetings are open to the pub
lie and once more you are urged to
come.
Miss Rittenhouse will speak on the
influence Of Younger American Wom-
en- in this Poetic Revival Such list
would include Sara Teasdale, Edna st.
Vincent Millsy, Mary Caroline Davis,
Fanny Stearns Davis, etc.

BENNINGTON COUNTY COOP
ERATIVE CREAMERY. INC

Permanent Organization Perfected
r. VI. Taylor Of Manchester Depot.
Chosen President and W. II. Roberts
Treasurer.
When County Agent W. 7. Teach
out called the meeting together Mon
day afternoon in the Union Opera
House there were in the neighborhood
Of 60 representative farmers from this
county in the room ready to talk busi-
ness and they did talk business too,
before they adjourned.
The County Agent took the floor and
occupied some little time in going into
further details regarding the aims and
purposes Of the organization Of the
company. He called attention TO the
fact that there were over 5000 cows in
Bennington County with but very
few small creameries, the greater por-
tion OF the milk being sent to the Bos-
ton market
He said that the reason for the
selecting Of Manchester as the site for
the erection Of the creamery plant was
the fact that an available site was at
command, one right on the railroad
and also one where there was 15-foot
drop, doing away with the necessity Of
pumping the milk.
Mr.. Teachout also stressed that part
Of the business calling for the financ-
ing Of the enterprise. He said that
there would be no trouble TO get the
necessary funds for the erection Of the
plant but that it should all come direct
from the members themselves, thus
making it their own enterprise.
Then again Manchester, while not
having so large number Of cows as
several other Of the nearby places,
was a much better local market and
was a greater center than any Of the
other places. 1t was expected that as
soon IS the plant was in operation
that there were $50 farmers who
would stand ready to send in their
product.
The county agent also announced
that the Factory Point National Bank
Of Manchester Center stood ready to
assist in the financing Of the PROPOSE
tion and Mr.. Roberts, the vice presi-
dent and cashier Of the bank, was
selected as the treasurer.
A recess was declared soon after the
Of V. r. Jones, the cream
cry -spa@alist Of the University, and
those interested got busy a..d assisted
in rounding up more sigaers. They
we've successful in signing up total
Of $50 cows, making the matter an
assured success.
The members present also selected
board Of eight directors, chosen as far
as possible on the community basis.
The directors so selected were Henry
Harvood Of the Dorset group, Leo j.
Abbott for East Dorset, Earl NJ
Taylor for Manchester Depot and
Ernest ]. Hard for Manchester; Jer-
ONE Hill for Sunderland, Leo |. Grout
and Fred Hawley for Arlington and
West Arlington respectively; and C.
D. Bentley for Sandgate.
The directors also selected the fol-
owing officers: f. NJ. Taylor presi-
dent, Leo |. Grout vice president, Leo
J. Abbott secretary, and w. II. Rob
srts treasurer. The following stand
ng committees were selected: Finance,
E. NJ. Taylor, Leo Grout and Fred
building, E. ]. Hard, Leo
5rout and Jerome Hill.
It was decided that the first pay
nent should be made on or before
October 18th, consisting Of 10 per
,ent.

The Elite Lady Minstrels held the
boards at the Seminary Gymnasium on
Thursday and Friday evenings, and
they held them in good shape, too
Under the able direction OF Prof. w
B. Leonard, the cast was drilled and
put in shape in the short space OF ten
days. All Of the girls in the cast were
either students at the Seminary or at
the village school and their school
work, together with the rehearsing
for the performances, took all Of their
attention, and much credit it due them
for their untiring efforts.
II would be hard to pick out any one
star Of the performances as all did
their parts in excellent shape. The
jokes Of the evening were well made
and caused endless amusement for the
audience. The solos and chorus work
were very good indeed and some
heretofore latent talent was brought
out and undoubtedly will be made use
OF at future times.
Probably a feature most enjoyed by
everyone was the performing Of the
kiddies Of the village as pickaninnies
in the last part Of the program. I'm
