WHERE THE YOUNG CHILD WAS" By Marie Conway Oemler. The Cen
 fiIrN Gcr1a ta1s i-I.a

WHERE THE YOUNG CHILD WAS" By Marie Conway Oemler The Cen
 tury Company. Publishers, New York City.
 Where the Young Child Was" is a group of Christmas stories, and stories that capture the generous joy, the kindly tenderness of that season loved by all who are young whatever may be the count of their years. Mrs. Oemler's new book should solve with charring adequacy the gift problem of thousands of people this Christi mas.
 In this book the author of "Slippy McGee" writes in her best style; a Christmas story would be something she would enjoy doing immensely. The gracious, heart-stirring imagin- ings, the reality of the people she creates, the tense interest which this reality arouses in their fortunes and their fates makes Where the Young Child Was" rare book fstories
 Another strong appeal is the easy, musical quality of Mrs. Oemler's s rhythm. It makes these, as short stories should always be. especially good to read aloud. Indeed, it is a companionable book, ideal for two or more to read together.

 Company Publishers, New York
 City
 This Is another of the famous French naturalist's classics for young people which have gone through so many editions in France. The trans 1ation Is beautifully done by Florence Constable Bicknell.
 Fabre-whom Maeterlinck called the insects Home-had the gift of communicating to his eraders some thing of the passionate interest with which he studied the Intimate lives of the little animals of the earth. And the kindly, great old man was at his splendid best when he was writing for boys and girls.
 This new book deals with birds, in- sects. reptiles and rodents that. are helpful or hurtful to man and his works; and he indicates how to CO., operate with our animal friends and circumvent our animal enemies. He gives great deal of fascinating in- formation about owls. eagles, hawks, ravens, crows. woodpeckers. wrens. swallows, and many others, treat ing In all 20 birds, IS Insects and 16 reptiles and rodents.

DEDICATION
SERVICE AT
ST. ANDREWS
Sermon On Worship by
Bishop Bliss of
Burlington

"Thc greatest trouble with the
religion of today is that it is too
lightly stamped with the sign of
the cross, said Bishop George Y.
Bliss of Burlington, in a sermon
at St. Andrews Sunday morning
on worship, the reasons for and
the object of church-going. The
service was a special one of
thanksgiving for the beautificd
church, the rcnovations being
made possible by generous gifts
of friends and parishioners here
and elsewhere. The altar with its
new decorations, and the Memo
rial reredos were dedicated by
Bishop Bliss. The rcrcdos was
the gift of Mrs. Mary Menut and
family in memory of Mrs. Menut's
oldest son, Guy Fitzgerald Menut
of Boston who died December II,
1916. The plans for the rcredos
we're drawn by DR.. A. p Grint,
the work was done by Robert
y. Shields and the decorations,
the work of Mrs. Helen Patterson
Williams of New York. Mrs. Will
liamS also decorated the new al
tar panels, which with the rcredoS
harmonic in colorings with the
pulpit panels given some years
ago by her in memory of her
father, the late -. y. Patterson,
senior warden of st. Andrews

The newly bcautificd church is
is the result of d campaign of un
firing work on the part of DIR.
and Mrs. A. p. Grint, aided by
the Mems club and the other So
cictics of the church. Under the
leadership of the Mems club,
Alexander McCartc, president,
the church was painted on the OK

FARMERS VIEW
OF WHITING
MILK FIGHT
Freeman E. Allen EX-
plains Situation In In
teresting Letter

Editor Caledonian-Record: |
wonder how man. of US realize the
meaning Of the "Whiting Milk
Fight" 50 called? and how much
it means to you and me in real
hard cash, whether we farmers win
this fight or whether organized
capital is able to scare uh into
taking any price which they are
willing to pay, regardless of the
cost Of production.
The Whiting Compan'r is next
to the largest Milk Dealer in
greater Boston, handling the milk
raised on over $500 farms, besides
buying some sweet cream in Can
ada. The Sales Committee of the
New England Milk Producers
Association have had very little
trouble with the Writings in the
past, but that does not rive them
the right now, to rob the farmer
and his family
Perhaps you sell cream the
same as | do What does it mean
to you and me then.-It means
that if the farmers should lose tn
fight that the ~ricc CT milk will be
set by the dealers and that every
dealer will have a different price,
and that nrices will be cut to the
trade in Boston as never before,
and that the Butter Market will
follow the Milk Market and that
every man that kecns cows will
have to be the loser
My creamery check for Jan
uary is short &c oer mound of fat,
or nearly $4,000 mainly because
certain groups of Farmers through
their co-opcratj0c creamerieS crowd
ed "a lot Of milk onto the Boston
Market through chain stores, at a
lower price, and thus forced deal
ers to lower their prices to their
trade The Sales Committee could
not maintain the price of milk TO
dealers under this unrc" Sonable
competition and the result wa,
the Butter Market went down soon
after the drop in milk, and we are
all out Just so much money. Even
the farmers that raised the milk
that was forced onto a market al
ready overloaded, are losers and
we must lose also. SO you see
.Dai'~- Farmers all through New
England must stand together and
sell their milk THROUGH one Sales
Committee, and at the cost of
production.
We have our Research Depart
ment headed by Mr. Bronson, who
is doing great work, and we do
not have to guess at the cost of
production. We have the figures
