thing necessary 10 create greater in
terest in the meetings, promptness in

gree work. He further said that the

print grange news and that they
should take advantage of this oppor-
tunity.
The program OF the evening was
as follows, reading of the Grange pa
per. Halloween march, refreshments
and an old fashioned spelling match.

pleasing. all of the members adjourn
ing to the kitchen and then return
ing to the hall laden with gifts Of
kitchen utensils and other things for
Brother and Sister, A. b. Mason who
recently lost their house and many
of their household effects by fire.

pleased and later in the evening they

parcels.

direct demonstrations, which help
more than anything else that can be
done for them.
Another thing which Helps greatly
in this work Is that the agents live
right with the people thus getting
their confidence. Thirdly they have
today a program Of work mutually
| agreed upon by the farm bureau and
the extension service all laid out for
! the coming year. This requires much
work but is needed by the people.
He said that the accounts were of
great value and that the agents were
helping to keep them straight and
right. The old barn door" accounts
are now obsolete, havi-o been dis
placed by modern systems Of farm
accounts.
In closing he said that the past
10 years had made great change
and that no one could tell what the
next ten years would produce, but he
recommended that each one should
keep working for the good of all.
Charles NJ. White, Chief of the
Bureau of Markets, then spoke OF
,, plan which he had formulated where
by the Farmer Bureau might send a
delegation to cooperate with the Au-
gusta chamber of commerce in in
teresting the people of this county in
ordering their potatoes now SO that
the kennebec county crop. which he
believes is not sufficient may be used
up and they may be able to get ship
ments from other places in the state
! where the crops are extremely large.
This meeting would also arrange with
the retailers for fair price. both to
the consumer and to the producer.
and would handle the potatoes
through the regular channels as FAR
as practicle.
After considerable debating over
| this measure a committee composed
of f. H. Taylor Of Winthrop. 4. M.
Lenfest of Manchester and NJ. j.
Hartman Of Readfield was appointed
to meet with the Chamber of Com
! merce, at a directors meeting which
lis to be held this noon at the Com
| munity club.
The meeting then adjourned. the
members of the Farm Bureau going
to their homes.
The exhibits and prize winners

clete has been laid. the work being
finished on Friday night. The cement

work by Raynes. A concrete wall will
bs put in along the side Of the drive
way that leads down to the repair shop.
and stucco work will be used on the
front Of the repair shop making it uni
fern with the remainder Of the front
Of the building. A two rail fence will
be placed along the embankment next
TO the repair shop driveway and four
lamp posts win be put in. connected
with the fence at equal distances. Two
lamps will be Iut in on the front Of
the building. one on each side Of the
door. this making . total Of six lamps
in the yard. At present 1t Is undecided
where the sidewalk will be carried to.
But It IL probable that sooner or later

reason for not doing this at the pres

SHORTHORN BREEDERS PLEAS
ED WITH SALE

Members of the Kentucky Short
horn Breeders Association feel that
the annual sale held November 3
was a success Notwithstanding the
fact that several of the lots sold far
under their value. Most of the bet
ter cattle sold for good prices con-
sidering the times and the low
prices on the poorer class of cattle
brought down the general average.
The breeders were pleased that so
many of the bargains of the sale re-
manned in Kentucky in the hands OF
small and new breeders. 1t was
also gratifying to see SO many OF
the top cattle going. to improve the
quality of the Kentucky herds. At
the association banquet the night
before the sale the members pledg-
ed their support to further the
boys and girls baby beef clubs
and to encourage the showing OF
ShQrthorns at the local and county
fairs.
