from WeStmoreland Walpole. Alstead,
Chester, Saxtons River, Grafton and
Rockingham The plant will sell its sup

Boston and the milk will be shipped in
bottles The Connor concern has 216
stores in the chain and is going to put

fact that the bottles have not yet been
received
It is expected that larger number of
dairies will be sending milk to the plant
after January /, as some of the farmers
are under contract to the Brigham COM

HARDING'S ADDRESS
TO CONFERENCE
VIII State Americas Desire to Remove
Causes of Heavy Armament.

WASHINGTON, Nov S.-President
Harding has virtually completed the adj
dress he will deliver Saturday at the
opening of the armament conference. He
will state in general the desire OF the
American government TO remove causes
of heavy armament and then reduce the
armaments themselves. 1t was apparent
in high official circles today that the Pres
ident in his keynote speech would indi-
cate broadly his attitude toward the ne
gotiations by .cenfining his statement to
general principles and by not attmpting
to present detailed solution of any in
dividual problem That would be left
to the delegates themselves with the Pres
ident advising with them only when vital
decisions are to be made.

rooms last evening the principal
business under discussion was the bills
in connection with the building of the
new bridge crossing the Connecticut river

Park, with a view to asking the Con-
