MILK PRODUCERS MEET
Annual Meeting Will Be Held at
 Springfield, Mass. Nov. 9th, 10th

At Springfield, Mass. on November 9-10 will occur the annual meeting of the National Milk Producers Fed eration, an event of great interest to dairymen. The National Federation is made up of over twenty associa- tions of organized dairymen, cover ing practically every state east of the Mississippi as we'll as California, Washington, Oregon, Minnesota and Louisiana. The Dairymen's League Co-Operative Association, the largest member of the Federation, expects that, in addition to it's official dele gates, it will be represented at this meeting by a large number of un- official delegates also.
 The first day of the meeting will be given up to addresses on the in numerab1e problems surrounding the marketing of milk, such as transpor- tation, freight rates. rural credit, farm problems at home and abroad, future activities of milk marketing organizations, modern means of in- creasing the consumption of dairy products, methods of marketing milk in the vicinity of great cities, rela- tions between prices of milk and prices of milk by-products, and na- tional legislation affecting the dairy industry.
 Discussion of pooling problems will be the main feature of the sec ond day. Most milk marketing asso- citations are based on some variation of the pooling plan. This is an ar engagement whereby the returns from the sale of milk-which vary accord ing to whether the milk is sold in fluid form or for manufacturing pur- poses-are pooled and the average price resulting after expenses of operation are deducted is returned to members. The Dairymen's Lea que Co-Operative Association, one of the most successful opponents of the pooling plan, will take a leading part in this discussion, being repre- sented by W. W. Hovey, general manager, and J. D. Miller, vice president and general counsel.

BUYS BATTERY BUSINESS
A. F. Knight Acquires Exide Business
 of Clayton M. Benjamin

A. Floyd Knight has purchased the battery business of Clayton M. Ben jamin and has taken possession. MT. Knight has had exclusive charge of the Exide and other battery business for MT. Benjamin for the past two and half years and understands the work in all it's branches. He has been very successful in his work for MT. Benjamin and we believe the business conducted by himself will show a considerable increase.
 MT. Knight will sell the Exide battery in its various sizes, but will be prepared to recharge and repair all makes of batteries. For the present he will be located at MT. Benjamin's but as soon as possible will open an exclusive battery ser vice station.

LIFE IMPRISONMENT
 FOR LURIA BROTHERS
Jury Finds Them Guilty of Murder in The Second
 Degree
AN APPEAL IS TAKEN
Sheriff Takes Brothers to Wethers field, to Begin Life
 Sentence

Michael and Louis Luria of Wa terbury were found guilty of mur- der in the second degree by the jury in the superior court at Litch- field shortly before 6 o'clock Friday night and were sentenced to life imprisonment in Wethersfeld by Judge William M. Maltbie. The brothers took the verdict and sen- tence without displaying any emo tion. They were charged with hav- ing murdered John Scissere in Ca- naan on the night of August 2. 1921.
 The jury retired at 3:19 o'clock Friday afternoon and returned about $40. Marco and Tony Lurla, father and brother respectively of the defendants, were in court when sentence was passed but were not visably affected. The court room was crowded with spectators.
 When the brothers were being handcuffed preparatory to being taken to the jail, their father went up to them and whispered a few words, presumably, of encourage ment.
 The closing arguments were pre- sented by the state attorney, Walter Holcomb, and one of the counsel for the accused, J. c. D'Aloia of Ne wark, N. J. Attorney D'Aloia was assisted in the defense by Thomas F. Ryan of Litchfeld.
 In his charge to the jury, Judge Maltbie pointed out that they could bring in one of four verdicts, mur- der in the first degree, murder in the second degree, manslaughter or not guilty. / During the trial the state produced two witnesses, Mrs. Mary Boscardini and her daughter, Elizabeth, 8 years old. Concerning the testimony of the little girl the court said that in his opinion children are not im- pressed with the solemnity of oaths. They are less apt to be observing, he said, and are apt to be influenced by others. ~
 In considering the testimony of the girl, he informed fhe jurymen that they should look at 1t as some what different from that of an adult. Nothing concerning the character of the men was to be considered by the jurymen in formulating an opinion, Judge Maltbie said, and all hints in- troduced by the state concerning other offenses of the men were to be disregarded.
 "We are not trying these men for the offense of being bad men," the

NORTH CANAAN Is ID
 HAVE WINTER FESTIVAL
Three-Day Program by Swarth- more Chautauqua Associa-
 ton Is Planned
UNUSUAL ATTRACTIONS
Association Founded for the Sole Purpose of Social Service,
 Not for Money-Making

A contract recently signed with the Swarthmore Chautauqua Asso- citation of Swarthmore Pennsylvania will insure to the people of Canaan and vicinity a list of attractions of unusual merit, including musical, dramatic, cultural and other enter tainment features. The programme will extend over three days period the dates of which will be announced ] later along with detailed announce ment as to talent and local arrange ments.
 There are fortunate ones among us who can indulge themselves by an occasional trip to the city where of course real high grade attractions are always available, but through the agency of this festival like privilege will be made available for those who must remain at home and that too at rates easily within the means of all. The Swarthmore Chautauqua Asso- citation is an organization chartered under the laws of Pennsylvania and in the language of the charter found ed mot for pecuniary profit, but solely in the interests of social ser vice." Their object is thus to fur nish the highest grade features at the lowest possible figure and under their new winter festival project they are sending the same high class attractions to small towns and vil- lages that appears on their platform in the large centres on the popular summer circuit.
 Here is splendid , opportunity for Canaan people to show that. they are not indifferent to the better type of entertainment and to be whole hearted in the support of an enterprise which can bring inspira- tion and new sense of community welfare to us all.
 A list of guarantors for this fes- tival follows. As may be seen the list is a truly representative one but it does not include the names of many others who have pledged CO., operation in the, form of funds, ser vices, and influence to make this venture an unqualified success.

ONE KILLED, EIGHT
 INJURED NEAR NORFOLK
Men Were Employed on Highway Construction Between Winsted
 and Norfolk

One man was killed and eight others injured late Friday afternoon on the Winsted-Norfolk road when a grocery truck driven by Francis J. Gaudette of Springfield sideswiped large truck filled with employees of the state highway department and driven by Romeo Gerasena of Oak avenue, Harwinton. The dead man is Joseph Pietro Antonio of Water bury. He received internal injuries and died shortly after reaching the county hospital in Winsted.
 The truck carrying the road work CTS was proceeding toward Winsted, the men being on their way to their homes or lodging places in that town and Torrington.
 Planks had been laid across the sides of the truck for use as seats. The end of one of these blanks pro- truded beyond the side of the truck | and was strdck by protruding crates on the Springfield truck which was loaded with produce. The plank was pushed along pinning the legs of the laborers in a vise-like grip. Antonio, it is said, was thrown between two of the blanks and crushed.
 The injured men gave their names to the Winsted police as follows :: Otto Irvia, Vito Mecca, Frank De- Francisco, Angelo Avenia, Demenic DeAngelus, Julio Cont, William Dubajaski and Antonio Franca- sitte, all claiming to be from Tor rington.

DR. JOHN G. ADAM WILL
 LEAVE IN DECEMBER
Explains in Letter to the News for Benefit of
 All Interested
MAY NOT RETURN HERE
Dr. Robert Sellew Will Come Here from Mill River to Take
 Over Practice

The many friends of Dr. John G. Adam will be sorry to learn that he is planning to leave here in Decem- Der and that there is possibility of his not returning. The following letter from Dr. Adam fully explains the reason for his departure:
 Canaan, Conn.,, Oct. 23, 1922. To the Editor of the Connecticut
 Western News,
 My dear MT. Krouse:
 There have been so many rumors about what Doctor Adam is going to do next, that it seems only fair, to tell the many friends, through your good paper, what know about it.
 My present plans, are to spend the month of December, with my family in Canada, and as have not spent Christmas in Canada since my college days, the thought sounds good to me.
 The first of the New Year, ex- pect to do some Medical Study, either in New York or Boston, for a few months, after which my plans are uncertain, but with many old home ties, and friendships, dearly cherished, I fancy, that while not intimately associated with the medi- cal work here, 1 shall not be so far distant, but that I can often come back, and receive the "glad hand" of Canaan's hospitality.
 Doctor Robert Sellew, a graduate of Yale Medical School, who has practiced medicine for several years at Southfield and Mill River, Mass, will take over my work, and occupy the office.
 From personal knowledge, and from the opinions of Physicians at Great Harrington, Massachusetts, who have personally worked with Doctor Sellew, more intimately than l have, it seems assured that Canaan is fortunate in securing such con- scientious physician, to add to it's good medical fraternity, and l trust he may be accorded the same friend ship, in the medical work, which has been of so much vital interest to me for the last twenty years.
 Indeed, Sir, it hardly seems pos sible, that have been working in Canaan for twenty years, but as I look back upon these years, it seems l have been especially favored, for while not accommodating many ma terial riches have tried to "play the game", and feel that the condolences given, and friendships made, while being permitted to be of public service, in the home of my fore fathers, have been the desired re- ward, most highly coveted.
 To anyone that has not occupied the unique position of family phy- slcian'', It may be hard to realize just what it means to relax the very intimate friendship, of physician to hIs patient, and It is with great re- i~cCance, that l do so, but reasons, beyond my personal control, seem to make it necessary.
 Let me thank you, in advance, Mir. Krouse, for permitting me to use your paper as "happy medium''.
 Very Cordially,
 John G. Adam.

winter beauty of trees, The person
who looks from his living room window
