The gospel of America First" irn- properly used is as dangerous as stick of dynamite in the hands of a child. according to Rev. William H. Alderson. pastor of Trinity Method ist church, in an address last evening to between 50 and so members of the Putnam PhalanX. The sermon was delivered on the observance of Bunker Hill Day, and was the first time in approximately a dozen years that the members of the Pfalanx ar- peared on the streets Of New Britain in uniform.
 The members of the organization, clad in their picturesque Colonial uniforms, topped by the plumed cha peaux and led by a red coated fife and drum corps, arrived in this city for dinner at the Burrtt hotel at 5:S0 o'clock yesterday afternoon. They previously had participated in the exercises at the unveiling Of tablet at East Hartford 10 commem m crate the camping of the French army under Count de Rochambeau on Silver Lane, in 17S1 and 17Se
 The dinner at the Burritt hotel was social affair and addresses were brief and informal, being mostly reminiscent.
 Among those present besides Ma jor Clifford D. Perkins, commanding officer. were Major Prank H. Johns- ton and Major William F. Beers. both of whom have been command ing officers of the Phalanx in their turn. Lieutenant Dugald McMiIlan, chairman of the local committee, was present, having left the New Britain General hospital where he had been a patient until Saturday night for the sole purpose of attend ing the dinner and the services.

SAVES s10O PER YEAR ON
FEED FOR 20 COWS

Buying feed at low point in mar
ket gives advantage to dairyman.
A dairyman can save about 500
a year in purchasing feed for a
herd of 20 cows by buying at the
low points in the market. This is
"a conservative estimate, allowing
s per cent interest for the value
of the feed on hand each months,
says r. M. Turner, extension
specialist in farm management at
the State College of Washington.
The farm management depart
ment of the State College found
in a cost-of-milk survey in four
Western Washington counties that
it took an average of 1862 pounds
OF grain, 2250 pounds of hay, $500
pounds of succulents, and 1856
days of pasture to produce 5000
pounds of milk. This is about the
yearly production per cow on many
farms in Washington.
Records show that $3.50 could
be saved on the 1862 pounds of
grain mixture, 225O pounds of hay
and $500 pounds of succulents by
buying these feeds during the low
points in the market.
If 20 cows were being MIXED,
the saving would be $186. Since
part of this feed would be con-
sumed during months of lower
prices, the saving is reduced to
$120. Interest on the value of
feed on hand each month at 8 per
cent reduces the saving on 20 cows
to $10O.
On the average, oat prices are
usually lowest in September and
October; wheat from October to
January; barley in August; corn
in December, January and Febru-
ary; hay in September, October,
and November; bran from June to
October; oil meal in May and June
and cottonseed meal is low in Sep

munities of the county during the
month of December. While it is
true that this question can not be
answered SO that the farmers will
be able to take a statement or a
formula and go home, apply it, and
thereby increase their net returns,
yet we believe that the facts and
information to be presented at
these meetings, and the discussions
which will undoubtedly follow will
enable many farmers to increase
their income.
Farming is a profession which,
like any other, never can solve
completely its problems. What
may be the best solution of Civ
en- situation today, may be con-
siderably changed two or three
years hence. Just what to do to-
day, however, in the light of the
actual facts bearing on the situa-
ton, should be followed up, always
keeping an eye to the future.
These meetings are for the pur-
pose of enabling the great mass of
farmers of the community to Sc
cure the facts which will enable
them to select the crop or kind of
livestock which is more apt to give
good returns on the time and the
money expended, and thereby be
able to secure greater income.
Extension work is sometimes
criticized by those who feel that
it emphasizes greater production
too strongly. Greater production
per unit, whether this be in acre
of crops or unit of livestock is the
thing which extension work does
emphasize, but in emphasizing
this, we also stress the need of de-
creased production in number of
units wherever figures show that
this is the movement in the right
direction. We always have men
and probobly always will have
those who are able to secure a
greater production per unit than
the great mass of farmers in the
community, because of probably
their better managerial ability.
This is a human factor which can
not be overcome. Because we have
these leaders, the goal of produc-
ton is always moving upward as
long as increased production can
he secured on an economic basis.
The thing in which every farmer,
even those who are the leaders
In their community, through great
production per unit along with the
business men of the community
are interested in, is that every
farmer as near as possible, is pro-
lducing on a basis such that this
individual farmer shall be able to
make at least a good living for
himself. This as we see it is the
goal of the extension work, that
is, to bring about, as far as poss-
sible, condition which will en-
able every farmer to make a good
living and be a contented member
OF the community. These meetings

Several of the regular duty Sisters and nurses are i'll, which has thrown all of the care of the many patients on the few remaining well nurses and Sisters of the hospital staff.
 While doctors report the eondi- tions in the town as being some what relieved this morning, never theless the hospital and those who are attending to the sick are sorely overtaxed. Nurses who in the past have been available in emer- gencies are themselves i'll and those in charge at St Ann's are in quandry over the help prob lem. To make matters worse there are at least two patients who require the attention of nurse all of the time.

LAST PERFORMANCE OF H. s. SENIOR PLAY
 GIVEN LAST NIGHT

The Senior Class play. "The Whole Towns Talking" finished the second and last performance last night in the Coliseum The atre before a fair sized audience. The director, Miss Leer, and members of the cast have work ed against conditions that have created a hardship in making the comedy success. Two of the players were suddenly taken down with the influenza at the last minute and substitutes had to be used in their place.
 The first night Carl Jensen, who was to have played the part of Donald Swift, the movie di- rector. was taken i'll and ]. P. Kronheim was hurriedly reheafs- ei to take his place. Last night Betty Barragar, playing the part of Lila Wilson, was taken Ill and could not appear. Miss Leer, the director of the play, took the part which was not difficult as Miss Leer has had stage ex-. perience.
 The present epidemic prevented what would have otherwise been capacity houses at both perform ances. Those who attended the ,lay were enthusiastic in their
