The new Poultry association, headed by Minton Norton as president, is desir- icus of taking over the interests of the Agricultural club that both or ganizations may branch out as one af- hiation for the interests of the town people who are working for the Pou- try association.
 The old Agricultural club Is com posed of many prominent men of the town such as Henry T. Trumbull, Charles H. Newton, Harry A. Castle, L. s. Mills, Edwin H. Hills. John B. Minor, Charles H.

 New automatic switch lights have been installed on the Plainville New l | company This will do away with the old method of the motorman leaving his car and tudning the key in :he box as has been the custom for years. | The new lights have been placed at Sharp's and Trumbull's stations.
 The lights are operated automati- | cally by the trolley wheel striking q connection. This connection causes a red signal to drop which warns the car standing down at Trumbulls to wait until the one from Sharp's ar rives.

At night, the | signals are of red and green. | r. |.
