Springlield township commlBsioners ut their regular monthly meeting, Wednesday night of last week at the township building. Chestnut liill, con¬ sidered the proposition of the pun base of the Stotesbury stone crushing plant, which is now on the market.'

During the paat few years Springlield has met with the outomary (lillicultie.s in securing a supply of crushed stone for repair and patching work, and with .an expenditure last 5ear of $30)0 for stone and other ro.nd m.-iterial, it is thought a saving of money, moro prompt application gf stone when neecledr the employ ot the roud force in the quarry when prevent¬ ed from actual work on the highways and other consiilerations may bo a sav¬ ing item in funds for tho township, I provided ,-i .suitaliie place'can be se¬ cured for the crushing plant and a satisfactory price agreed upon. Sever¬ al locations were suggested for the plant, but iis a definite location is nec¬ essary before negotiations for the pur¬ chase of the plant can be made, it \vas deemed best to refer the matter' to Messrs. Ainxan and Harper with full power to act, first of all to definitely fix a permanent location for the plant if it is thought best to purchase.

Mr. Penrose gave a full report of current events. Mrs. Adee also gave an excellent paper on current events.
The Club Gazette was read. Mr. Howard Hallowell told how Church Road receive<l its name. "Why does there appear to be a lack of interest in the club?" was answered in al very excellent paper by Mrs. Michener. The principal thing discussed was the addit;j^^*of-y<Muig memibers.     ......
Mrs.' EUzB Carroll had the same question. She does not feel there is any less interest existing, Isaac Mich¬ ener had the question suggested the lack of interest which he consider." does  not exist.
Mrs. Harry Worth had an interesting
paper answering "How can a club bo
ma'le    interesting?"       She     began   by
saying it  is  well  to  notice  the d.iy of
thf  meeting and   consider  that  night,
ifor instance,  js  the  day  appointed  by
i President Wil.son to consi,ior fire pre-
tvontiim.    Next  meeting will  lie Armis-
jtice day and  wo might consider that.
i     Mr. Park .'-poke of the ai-ticles in the
newspapers attacking thef armers for
profiteering.     Now   the   county   agent
tells   me   hf   ha.s   no   positive   data   to
controvert this.    He f*sels it might  be
well   if   we   stand   ready   to   give   the
exact   figure.?   of     the   cost     and   the
amount received from each crop.
Mr. Howard Hallowell outlined ai plan by whiohi the cost can be kept easily, quickly and in a satisfactory manner.
Mr. Worth fears if the cost of this year's potato crop has been kept care¬ fully not one of us wouW. plant a potato next year. If you consider the work of ytour family and the money you expend you cannot sell potatoea under $4 a bushel.
N. Wood said he does not see how it will help the farmers' club to belong to fhe Grange. Mr. Michener gave the piodnts of difference between the cli^b and the grange. The names of Sydnea Lukens Marguerite Hallo¬ well and Edith Hallowell were sug¬ gested as members. They were elect¬ ed,
