What was formerly known as the Merchants' building, at the south end of the grounds below the grand- stand, houses some exhibits worth going miles to see, most of these being of particular interest to women. On entering to the right is seen the ex- hibit of .the Connecticut Diarymen’'s assoclation. The dairymen are mak- ing & great campaign for pure milk and their exhiblt goes to show just why pure milk is desirable and what it costs to produce. Figures aro given on charts showing the varying costs, including the investment on the plant. It is educational, instruc- tive and highly interesting. Going beyond one passes exhibits of burnt leather work, hand painted photographs and other art work. The exhibits of hand painted china, wood carvings and old ladies’ work are worth hours of patient observing had one out time. An old pillow, the property of Mrs. Emil Sedervall of 831 South Main street is worth a deal of attention- It is considerably over a century old. There is an old shawl made in Sweden 170 years ago. ' it is owned by Andrew Olson of New Britain and is a family heirloom, hiving been in continual possession of Mrs. Olson’s family since it was made. Other exhibits in this buildins include fancy work and embroidery and there js a vast amount of it. Rev. 8 A. Tiske has charge of the state school exhibit in the Mer- chants’ bullding. People are apt to pass by such things in the general rush, but the schol exhibit is really worth a little time. Papers pre- pared by children in the schools of Berlin, New Britain, Hartford and many other towns are shown. Es- pecially of note is the exhibit of map work. Collinsville, Egeg Production. Most everybody has use for egss and those whose business it is to see that the American hen is a real worker will be epecially interested in the poultry display of the Connec- ticut Agricultural college: The col- lege is showing many branches of its work at the fair, but it has gained great fame through the prize egg Jaying contests that have been held there during recent years and one learns the reason why by visiting the exhibit in their tent east of the grand- stand. They even show hens that don’t produce beside those that do and when the reasons are pointed out on a chart even the Ininitiated can observe the points explained and 8o plainly illustrated. Miniature hen coops, exact models of well known and accepted types, are shown and then the diseases that affect the hen and how they may be cured are aptly illustrated. The exhibits of the agricultural college and the New Haven experiment station are eye openers to would-be farmers and those who have a notion that farra- ing is a joke and those whose farm- | ing ideas are best illustrated by the | comic papers will have another think | coming after viewing them. Vegetables Galore. ‘What this wet humid and altogeth- er unsatisfactory summer has pro- duced in the way of vegetables is something to marvel at and the big tent of the Connecticut Vegetable Growers’ association is the place to do | do it. It's a hopeless task even to begin to describe the many fine dis- plays, but the truth is that every- thing you ever saw in a seed dealer’s | catalogue is there and in abundance, quite as perfect and beautiful to the | eye as any lithographic cut ever print- | ed and a heap more satisfactory. | See the Birds. - Yes, see the birds, all kinds and all | varities of each kind and breed. The big poultry building and the con- : crete shored duch pond to the south | Is the present habitat and hardly any | one who visits the fair passes out the | gate without a peek at the poultry and their web-footed cousins. The old grey goose and his wife and his sistér and cousins and aunts are their in all shades of the rainbow. Ducks big and little manage to squeeze in be- | tween and altogether they make a happy family with apparently little quarreling, though occasionally a feather is pulled in a little impromptu mixup. Even the best of families have their squabbles and ducks and geese aren’t partial to mere bipeds who may happen along when a little tamily affair is being adjusted. Cute little bantams some in plain | and some in fancy attire with all sorts of queer top knots and strange featherings have a temporary home under the roof of the big poultry building. They share it with hun- dreds of their grown up brothers and cousins which include the American hen and her proud lord, uncanny look- ing Guinea hens and more geese and ducks, the latter putting up a loud and continual protest against confinement when the rest of the family is allowed the liberty of the swimming pool. Even the casual visitor doesn’t blame them these days for it's a lot pleas- anter swimming in a pool than being locked up behind wooden bars for folks to stare at. Farm Machinery. The greatest display of farm ma- chinery ever seen in this section is on exhibition in a series of tents northwest of the race track. Labor bloom, . Griswold, Berlin, second, gecond, zinnias; first, annual ;' first, perennial flowers. H. Griswold, Berlin, second, ploom dahlia. . B.

From kerosene driven tractors which will haul anything from a gang plow to a reaping and harvesting outfit, to cream separators are shown. Gasoline engines to pump water, cut ensilage or fire wood, gen- erate electricity to light the farm house and out-buildings and do a hundred other chores that formerly fell to the farmer and his hired man, noisly demonstrate what science and invention plus John D. Rockefeller can and is doing for suffering hu- manity. Besides the gasoline engines, a host of labor saving devices and { monic band, dancing, Forester's hall. NEW BRITAIN oms; first, white cosmos; second, | tion, all of which, as the demonstrator says, must be seen to be appreciated. Honey and Preserves, Just before the midway is reached you find one of the most interesting exhibits on the grounds. It might be styled the busy bee department for the product of the bee in the form of golden honey in the glass is stacked up on long tables. Bees are seen at work manufacturing both comb and honey and you can buy the product as fast as it is made. A splendid dis- play of canned fruits and vegetables is also shown in this tent, as well as home made candy and ples and cakes. Cedar Hill farm displays samples of its famous print butter here. Children’s Games. Children’s games were a big attrac- tion on the cpening day and the en- Joyment obtained by the large throng as the games progressed was freely expressed. The games were decidedly original in conception, being planned by Prof. Isazc Porter, physical direc- tor of the William Penn Charter school of Philadelphia. The rivalry of the contestants was keen. Little Miss Katherine Lewis of Rackwell avenue, New RBritain, was a winer in four events and Harry Kopf of New Britain, brother of “Billy"” Kopf of the Philadelphia Athletics, was also a winner. Ex-Senator Claude W. Stevens and the Rev. S. A, Fiske con- ducted the games. The results: Prize package rush, Garrity, S. Kadrain, John Hayes, Rizhard Beeman, Joseph Trehy, Al- bert Chapman, L.

Ballech, Will Await Word from Berlin at | Cedarhurst Embassy—Tension Is Relaxing, ‘Washington, Sept. 15.—Count Von Bernstorff prepared today to ‘Washington for the summer embassy at Cedarhurst, L. I, to await further word from the German foreign office | on its attitude toward the sinking o the Arabic in the light of proof that | the liner was proceeding peacefully when torpedoed without warning. It was considered unlikely that the em- bassador would resume here discus- slons with Secretary Lansing pending the receipt of advices from Berlin, which probably will require ten days or more. Tension over the situation that has arisen between the two nations ap- parently was relaxed today, and hopes for an early and friendly adjustment were renewed in German and govern- ment quarters. WILL BURN AUTO THAT CARRIES LEPER Soldier With Dread Disease Will Be Transported to Washington in Ma- chine Which Will Be Destroyed. Pittsburgh, Sept. 15.— Elmer E. Gable, a former United States soldier, vwho contracted leprosy while serv- ing in the Phillippines and who has been under strict guard in a tent at the Municipal Hospital since his ap- 1earance here several months ago will be returned to Washington in an automobile, and after he has been turned over to the army authorities thie machine will be burned. This plan was announced today by Dr. James E. Edwards, director of health, who has been seeking to solve the problem of Gable's future. Com- mon carriers would not transport Gable, and Dr. Edwards finally de- cided it would be cheaper for the city to sacrifice the cost of an auto- mobile than to keep Gable here. Hav- ing been honorably discharged from the army, @Gable is a ward of the gov- ernment, the authorities hold. BOMB STORY EXPLODES New York Police Think That Bolt{e! of Fluid for Filling Fire Extin- guishers Are Infernal Machines: New York, Sept. 16.—The two class beakers found beside a hatch of the White Stor liner Lapland, ly- ing at her pler hecre, were today learn- ed to have contained liquid for re- filling fire extinguishers and not acid calculated to set fire to the ship, as police and private detectives be- lieved last night. The supposed bombs were hurried- ly removed from the ship, taken to the police “bomb bureau” and analyz- ed. The analysis tended to further mystify the police, for chemists found the liquid in the beakers could not possibly cause an explosion or fire. The ship's offic were then consult- ed. They recosunized the beakers at once. Five hundred similar ones were loaded late yesterday, and it i¢ supposed the two found by a de- tective were accidentally placed by the hatch. leave | : Bishop’s orchestra THREATEN TO KILL ALLID FINANCIERS (Continued from First Page) was believed to have source. a common Remove Deposits. Veiled threats, it was reported, have often accompanied the protests and certain institutions here now planning to participate in floating the loan are already estimating the extent of the losses in deposits which they be- lieve will surely follow when the big loan is floated, if at all. Members of the commission have made no secret of their annoyance at the widespread activities of pro-Ger- man sympathizers, nor of the belief that the agitation is inspired. To the same source of inspiration they at- tribute the considerable number of insulting and threatening letters which have come through the malls to the commissioners during their five day stay here. Officials of some of Wall Street's big financial institutions heretofore class- ed as pro-German have no sympathy with these attacks, it is known and are sald to be in a receptive mood toward participation In the flotation of the loan. ELKS MAKE MERRY. “Best People on Earth” on Annual Outing Today at Take Compounce, Seventy-flve members of the New Britain lodge of Elks, accompanied by lady friends, journeyed to Lako Compounce this afternoon to hold the annual outing. The trip was made in automobile and on arrival at the his- toric lake an afternoon of various sports, bowling, and dancing was in- dulged in. At 4 o'clock when Mine Host Nor- ton rang the dinner bell the party sat down in the spacious banquet hall, where roast sheep with the fixin's were eaten. During the various courses sweet strains of music by echoed through the hall and diners joined in the choruses of popular songs and when the end of the meal was reached the entire assemblage rose and sang the Elks' anthem, “Auld Lang Syne,” a fitting climax for the good things served in the meal. At the close dancing was enjoyed and the party was unanimous in opin- ion that it was one of the most en- Joyable affairs of the season. INHERITANCE TAX. Hartfard, Sept. 15.—The attorney general has given an opinion to the state treasurer on the payment of the four mill inheritance tax. The ques- tlon asked by the treasurer was if he could receive from the executor or the administrator of the estate of a decentdent who died since August 1, when the law went into effect and on which estate the tax had not been pald for flve years, the amount of tax due. The attarney general replied that the estate in question came un- der the law of 1915 and that the treasurer could take the tax and re- ceipt for fit. ARMIES ARE Al VE. Frequent Artillery Duels Taking Place on Swiss Border. Basel, Switzerland, Sept. 15, via Paris 0 p. m.—French and Ger- man armies near the Swiss frantler are showing uncommon military activ- ity. Heavy reinforcements are ar- riving and artillery duels are becom- ing fiercer daily.

London, Sept, 15, 2:16 p. m.—The London newspapers, both editorially and in letters to the editor, are giv- ing an increased amount of space to the recent air raids on this city. Two general lines of comment are adopted one of gratitude at the appointment of Sir Percy Scott to take charge of the defenses of London from aerial attacks; the other, sarcastic criticism that some similar steps have not been taktn before. “It is getting rather hard to keep | up with the Zeppelin visits” says the Pall Mall Gazctte. “Lately they seem to have taken place every night. There was another on the night of the 13th, and may be later in the day we shall hear of a raid- last night. Rememnbering the raids that have come off, we are apt to forget the failure« We are inclined to believe that only a little extra luck enabled the invader to slip through a week ago.” The Globe i= arranging a mass meeting to demand reprisals, so that every roi¢ over an English town shall be answered by one over a German town. Count Von Reventlow’s pleas for greater vehemence in the air attacks on London have been published here. PICK UP LIFE BOAT. Steamer Which Arrived in New York saved Nine Men from Ranza. | New York, Sept. 15.—The steamer Prine Willem V, which arrived today from Amsterdam by way of South | American ports and the West Indies, on Aug. 3, picked up a life-boat with nine men of the crew of the British steamer Ranza, which had been tor- pedoed by a German submarine two days previously, about forty miles southwest of Oulssant, France.

Four mall deliveries a day, the cry of the Main street merchant for con- siderable length of time, has arrived, through the c¢fYorts of Postmaster Delaney. The new system was put into effect this morning and proved popular with merchants and people residing in the center of the city. #or a long time the postmaster has hbeen making a study of the conditions, and together with Superintendent of Car:, riers John E. Muechan went over the situation thoroughly. The area whicn is effected by new system extends from the Chestnut [ street to Lafayette street on both sides and on Church street to the railrosd station. The arcade is also included in the change. The Chamber of Commerce alste had this change in mind and when Secretary Andrews called on the post- master he learned that the work was being considered. FORTIFICATION DESERTED, New London Artlllery District Sees Exodus of Soldiers, Niantic, Sept. 15.—The fortifica. tions of the New London artillery dis trict are almost deserted today, for o the thirteen companies included in the garrison but one remains—the 131st at Fort H.
