1aVorltes lost none of their attrac-
i've lood value when served Thurs
day under the direction of Mrs.
Lottie Chandler and Mrs. Leso
Villains. Mrs. Williams was chos-
en- local leader for the club work
projects for the coming year and
MIS-. Myrtle Cushman, Mrs. Glenn
hemingway and Mrs. Chandler
were appointed club leaders, with
handlcrafts, Gaming chairs, foods
ana nutrition 10 the outstanding
activities.
County Agent M. V. Barnes en-
tertalned the audience with three
reels of instructive moving pictures
furnished by the department of
agriculture and also showed many
photographs of farm bureau acti-
Vltles in various parts of the coun-
ty. Mrs. Orange Laid furnished
some fine piano selections and Sec
rotary f. H. Hallett of the Bureau
Exchange gave a brief review of
the work of the farm bureau and
its work in supplying good seed,
good feed and good fertilizers to
the farmers of the county.
Miss Cara Sampson, the teach
er of the public school, and her %
pupils, formed an interesting and
interested part of the afternoons
audience. J.. P. (Jack) Calender,
the official COW tester, was present
ana was ready to turn a helping
hand to make the program a sue
cess, whether it was carrying
water for the coffee, helping Agent
Barnes in the adjustment of the
moving picture outfit or substitute
ing as dress form in Miss Gilfl-
lans dressmaking demonstration.
He is a handy man. He is a typical
illustration of what someone has
said about the modern cowtester
O. farm bureau agent, comparing
him with the oldtime circuit rider
travelling about from community
to community carrying the gospel
OF right living and sturdy integ-
rity, just as in these modern days
this herald of better farming goes
about radiating sunshine and ar
rying the gospel of better ideas in
dairying from farm to farm, and,
incidentally, passing along items of
general knowledge and benefit for
all with whom he comes in contact.
This may not be religion, it may be
just better dairying, but it is a
good thing, anyway.
Mr.. Calender was owe in this
country to look over the orchards
on the properties recently purchas-
ed by John W. Davies of Boston,
with a view to having them pruned
up and put in productive shape.
And speaking of Mr.. Davies grow
ing interests in Waterford, 1t
should be said that his coming to
this community just at this time
~prophesies much for the future of
THIS community. There are 23,SO6
broad acres of the surface of the
old Green Mountain state in the
town of Waterford, and it has been
suggested that if they were ironed
u as fiat as some places it would
cover the whole county. Mr.. Da-
vies has purchased a whole lot OF
Waterford real estate and if all we
hear is true he plans to improve 1t
until this corner of the country
viii be one of the garden spots for
miles around. The Improvements
that have already been made are
only a small start toward what
is contemplated.
Some one has said that Water
ora is bounded on the north by
Concord, on the west by st.
J~ohnsbury, on the south by Barnet
and on the east by the peacefully
rolling Connecticut and the rising
sur. With all these favorable sur
roundings, and mindful of an inter
esting history, the residents of this
town are we'll alive to the fact that
there is a big future in store for
them, if they are ready to proht
bv it, and they also realize that
that future depends largely upon
the intelligent, profitable operation
of the farms, and when it comes to
that they have signed up with the
activities of the county farm bu-
as the best means to accom-
plish results and the shortest cut
