Twenty-four B. A. girls and, three
councilors enjoyed the first hikeu of
the Blue Triangle club Saturday. The
object of this hike was a "Partridge
Berry Hunt," The starting point
was Frank May's house. They were
led along the shore -of Crystal lake
until the cottages were reached. Here
they built a fire, toasted marshmal
lows, apples and popped corn. "! Each
one gathered a generous bunch of
berries. The chief topic of discussion
was the purpose and- organization of
the Blue Triangle club. When dusk
began to fall the happy crowd started
along the trail over Barton mountain
reaching the starting point around 6
o'clock, when three rousing cheers
were sent up for the councilors and
the club. The hike took in about five
miles. The girls , departed looking
forward to next month and another
good time.

EVERY DAIRY FARMER INVITED
Orleans -District Meeting of N. E. M.
P. A. to be held in Newport
November 22.
Every dairy farmer in this sec
tion is invited to attend the Orleans
district meeting of the New England
Milk Producers Association to be held
Wednesday, November 22d, at 1.30
p. m. in Newport, School hall. " The
district secretary, U. A. Harris, of
Newport, was present at the special
meeting of the New England - Milk
Producers' Association, November 8.
and a report will be given at the meet
ing on, the New England wide mar
keting plan which is now about to
take the next step. Fred C. Warner,
district manager, will also be pres
ent - to explain the workings of the
new plan and its relation to the New
England Milk Producers' Association.
This is a highly important meeting
and it is thbusiness of every dairy
farmer to be present and get the first
hand information , about the plaf
which it is expected will in a few
years, give the dairy farmers of
New England complete control of
their business.
The report of the special committee
on the marketing plan differed ma
terially from what was generally ex
pected, but rrfet with complete satis
faction on the part of the district
presidents. The plan which was
recommended was the bringing to
gether of the existing cooperative
agencies for handling milk as the
first step in the consolidation of the
produceVsyinterests throughout New
England. Farmers who now sell
through cooperative organizations
are competing with pne another in the
market. If they can be brought to
gether they will form the largest sin
gle dealer in milk in New England
and the disastrous effects of competi
tion among themselves will be elim
inated. The committee recommends
this simply as a first step and it is
the general expectation that this
combined cooperation will be ' so suc
cessful and will return to the farmers
enough more than they are now get
ting for milk so that other farmers
will desire to come in.' It, is prophe
sied by men who are familiar with
the situation that in the course of a
very few years, the great majority of
the milk producers of New England
will be drawn into this great co-operative
enterprise.
The New England Milk Producers'
association will not have any direct
connection with this amalgamation of
the cooperative organizations but
will lend all its resources to bring
about the desired end. It is expect
ed that for a number of years at
least, tjiere will still be need of- the
New England Milk Producers' asso
ciation to serve as a stabilizer in the
market and ensure a square deal for
both producers and dealers. It is the
intention of the' N. E. M. P. A. to get
the fundamental principle of the new
rnarketing plan before its members at
the earliest possible moment, this is
in the disict meeting with two
speakers at least who are thoroughly
familiar with the subject. It will be
presented in a way which will give
the farmers the fullest possible
chance to understand it.
Air farmers are invited to this
meeting, although the voting power
will be confined to,, delegates from the
locals in the towns' which are included
in this district... The locals in the dis
trict are as follows: Albany, Barton,
Coventry, Derby, Glover, Holland,
Irasburg, Lowell, Newport, Newport
Center, North Troy, Orleans, South
Albany, Westfield, Brownington -Center,
East Charleston.

The following clipping is taken
from the Vermont Union Journal, and
will be of interest to many of our

when Miss May Aileen Deoss was
urfited in marriage to John A. Cros
ier, October 19, by Rev. W. A. War

Miss Ivis Lamoray on his arm, and
Master Warner with Miss Gertrude
Lamoray on his arm, held ribbons
forming aisles through Which the con
tracting parties came and all took
their places in front of Our Flag' and
under a canopy with lights in cen
ter. Each wore ' Ophelia roses. Aft
er the ceremony the family was be
ckoned to a table, spread with a linen
cloth over 80 years old, the color
scheme being continued, and Nwere
served with rolls, bird of paradise
salad, walnut cake, bananas, grapes

stories of the strange uses to which
wireless com'municution lias been put
on the high seas, but the Cunard liner
Carmania brought in a new one on her
arrival here from New York.
While off the Irish coat the liner's
operator picked up a message asking
that the ritual for burial at sen be
sent in full. The strange request came
from the Canadian government steam
er Canadian Trooper, whose captain
found he had no prayer book when
confronted with the necessity of bury
ing one of the firemen at sea. The
Carmania supplied his need.
Oldtime Football.
Football may be a rough game, but
:t is quite gentle and harmless how
compared to what It used to be. Way
back in the Eighteenth century when
the sport was in its swaddling clothes,
the type of ball used was not so kind
to the feet of the one who kicked It
Eighteenth-century footballs were
made of straw, which was braided
nntil a long rope wds obtained. This

shape desired. The finishing touch

When the feather ball finally re
placed the old straw model, it was
stuffed with, horse hair until It be

was at first scoffed at by the old

Number of meetings' held in the
year, 12. Of these two were pub
lic ones; at the first, October 27, 1921,
Miss Lora Varney gave an interest
ing account of the national conven
tion at Cincinnati, which she attend
ed as a delegate. May 31, 1922, Rev.
Mr. Rankin, who had just returned
from the Boston conference gave an
interesting talk on h& impressions of
the meetings held there.
Home Service and " Civilian Relief
have been very efficiently carried on
by the County Home Service Chair
man, Mrs. Reirden, and most of the
branches have done work along these
lines also. -
At Christmas time baskets and re
lief to -the amount of $81.05 were
furnished by the Derby Line Branch;
Barton Branch furnished 16 families
with bedding and supplies; Orleans
Branch furnished 27 families with
baskets of food and toys.
Newport and Orleans Branches
each carried on very successfully
thrift shops where clothing was sold
at a merely nominal price, and, large
amounts were given away as needed.
A school nurse was maintained in
the Newport Branch; at Orleans the
public health nurse did excellent work
not only in the school, but in the
community until forced by illness to
give up her position. Glover Branch
took a t. b. patient to Barre hospital
and lilso paid for nursing care of a
child ill with typhoid; Missisquoi Val
ley Branch spent $47.82 for relief
work; Barton Branch outfitted a girl
and sent her to the Perkins institute
for the blind; Newport Branch has
done much in the way of paying for
nursing care, sending patients to
Clinics and hospitals; and a first aid
course in the New England Telephone
& Telegraph Co. was conducted
through the Red Cross there; Orleans
Branch also has paid for nursing care
of a soldier, for tonsil and adenoid
cases and sending patients away to
hospital. Several Branches contribut
ed to disaster relief and nearly all
have helped ex-soldiers in making out
their claims, besides assisting them
in other ways. Sehool children in
Newport Branch sold $150 of t. b.
seals.
We regret that Mrs. Jennie Gross
found it necessary to resign from the
position as chairman of Junior Red
Cross, which she has filled so ably
for several years. At present the
only school activity engaged in the
Junior work is the Orleans high and
graded schools, though interest seems
to be reviving in some other' quar
ters. The Evansville and Browning
ton schools, when they disbanded used
their surplus funds to purchase first
aid supplies for use in the schools.
The Orleans Junoirs besides Christ
mas and other activities, carried on -a
Nickel day campaign for tuberco-.'
losis; , furnished appliances for the.
school playgrounds; paid for Red
CJross films shown at school ad opera
house; had a big sale of t. b. seals;
conducted hot noon lunches at school;
assisted in medical inspection, weight
and lieight record; carried on a suc
cessful clean-up campaign, and cor
responed with pupils abroad.
