The Connectlcut State Agricultural woclety will bend every effort to secure the usual exhibit of the products of the New Britain town farm at the eoming fair in Berlin in spite of the yecent stand taken by the New Brit- min board of charities in' prohibiting @Buperintendent and Mrs. George F. XKibbe from making the display. Presi- dent Charles M. Jarvis of the soclety will call upon the Hardware city board within a day or ‘two and en- deavor to persuade the members of the board to rescind their decision. The officers and directors of the fair mre highly indignant over ‘the treat- ment that is being accorded them by their neighboring officials.

Incidentally. .the premiums were high, a total of $190 going into the coffers of the city. Secretary Leland W. Gwatkin in dis- cussing the action of the New Britain board of charities this morning said that the whole affair could be shifted down to “petty politics”. He said that several weeks ago he wrote a letter to Mayor Quigley asking him why the town farm products were not to be exhibited this year. He also told Mayor Quigley that since this was an exceptional year along agricultural lines bgcause of the interest taken in home gardens, the directors of the ! efficient management of Mr. and Mrs. ly uniform prices. Along this line the committee advises local farmers, how all available means of transpor- tation of their crop may be wisely and freely employed, how the great- est number of markets may be reached and how congestion can be reduced. The committee requests that local farmers use motor trucks as far as available to reach both lo- cal and wholesale dealers, and to use the railroad for carload ship- ments to more distant points. The The New York, New Haven & Hart- ford Rajlway company has promised to co-operate with local farmers and will accept a minimum load of 265 Berlin fair would furnish land space and a tent gratis for an exhibit of the municipal garden products. Mr. Gwatkin also urged Mayor Quigley to have the implements and tractor that were used in the gardens displayed. He told the city official that he would make a speeial exhibit of this and would give much prominence to the display. ‘“Mayor Quigley didnt’ even have the courtesy of replying to my Jetter,” said Mr. Gwatkin. Phe Berlin fair this year, according to the secretary, should by far surpass the fairs of former years. The grand- stand along the race track has been taken down and a temporary grand- stand large enough to seat 2,000 peo- ple is being erected. The automobile building being enlarged to twice its present size. A large number of entries of livestock have already been recelved including two herds of cattle from New York state. Governor Holcomb Accepts Invitation. Colonel Charles M. Jarvis, presi- dent of the State Agricultural society, was yesterday notified by Governor Marcus H. Holcomb that he would be present at the fair on Thursday, September 13, which will be known as “Governor's Day.” Plans are already being completed to make this day one is also of the biggest at the fair. Governor Holcomb will be escorted to the fair grounds by the Berlin Home Guards. The Berlin Home Guards, reputed to be one of the best drilled organ- izations of its kind in the state, will review in honor of the governor. Secretary Gwatkin announced this morning that the Berlin Home Guards challenge any military organization or company in the state to compete against them on Governor’s Day. A suitable prize will be offered and it is expected that a number of state organizations will be present to com- pete against the local guards. Awaiting Call Many local young men who recent- 1y enlisfed in the naval reserves ex- pect to be called to colors within the next few days. The following young men of Kensington have enlisted and expected to leave soon: Richard But- ler Roache, Norman Hutchinson and | George Holmquist. Injured at Station. A woman, who gave her name as Mrs. Mary Carroll of New Britain, was injured at the Berlin station yesterday afternoon about 5 o'clock, when she tripped up on the platform and fell. Richard Culver, baggage- master, called Dr. Dunning and a i superficial examination disclosed that the woman had fractured her left side. Friends of the woman in New Britain, had in the meantime been notified of the accident and the woman was removed to her home. To Assist Local Farmers. Through the Committee of Food Supply and Conservation of the Con- necticut State Council of Defense a great effort will be made this fall to secure a wide distribution of the peach crop of local farmers at & fair- v baskets. The Connecticut company has also promised full co-operation to the limit of its power in moving the peach crop by its trolley lines. In speaking of the 1917 peach crop, a prominent farmer this morn- ing stated that the yield will be far below early estimates. The committee of food supply and conservation, which is trying to enlist the aid of every farmer in the state, consists of George M. Landers of New Britain, chairman; Willlam C. Cheney, Manchester; Charles T. Davis, Middietown; John P. Elton, Water- bury; Wilson H. Lee, New Haven; Robert W. Perkins, Norwich; Rob- ert Scoville, Salisbury; Clifford I. Stoddard, Woodbridge; Julius C. Stremlau, Meriden; Seth Low Perre- pont, Ridgefield; Walter L. Goodwin, Hartford, and Francis B. Cooley, sec- retary, Hartford. ‘Want Fofld Changed to State High- way. It is probable that a petition will be circulated about the town within the next few days to have the road ex- tending from the Berlin railroad station to the East Berlin line taken over by the state. The road at present is without a doubt one of the worst in the state. The expense of keeping it in repair is too great for the town to bear, as travel on it is exceptionally heavy. It is estimated that during the week-end no less than 10,000 cars from every part of the state pass over this road. Berlin Briefs. The Misses Elizabeth and Alice Norton, Miss Marjorie Moore and George B. Norton of Kensington left yesterday by auto for Mystic where they will spend the next few days. Mrs. Martin Hazen and daughters, Miss Bertha and Miss Ida of East Berlin are spending a few days in Bridgeport. Miss Ruth Robbins, who has been sojourning in Westbrook, has return- ed to her home in East Berlin. Through an error, it was stated that the table demonstration that 1s to be given on Friday afternoon at 2:30 o’'clock at St. Paul's hall by Mrs. Dean of the Hartford County League would take place in the evening. hold a competitive military drill and Miss Marjorie De Morl of East Ber- lin is the guest of Miss Rena Lewls of New Haven.

NOT HOLD OUTING Amnaul Affair May Be Dis- continued This Year EVIDENT LACK OF INTEREST Michael Mutto Thought Insane—Many 'Will Attend Annual Session of Croc- odile Club at Lake Compounce To- morrow—Large Crops Are Report- ed. As no date has been set and little interest has been manifested it |is probable that the business men’s out- ing will not be held this year. Since the organization of the Business and Improvement association it has been the custom to hold an annual affair of this sort. The first affair took the form of a clam bake and was held at Sunset Rock on the outskirts of the city. In addition to the big ‘feed” which was always stowed away by those present, baseball and other athletic actlvities were indulged in. Four years ago it was voted by members of the socliety to hold the outing at Lake Compounce instead of at Sunset Rock. Instead of having a clam bake that year, Frank T. Wheel- er, who wag in charge, decided to have the affair take the form of a sheep barbecue. A program of athletic sports was also arranged for the en- tertalnment of those present. The af- feir each year after was like Its precedesor only more successful. Like the annual banquet, the sum- mer outing is one of the important soclal features of the assoclation and is looked forward to with consider- able anticipatory pleasure by the members. The association has steadily gained in numerical strength and has a strong influence on community life. The officers have made an effort to ge$ all the men in town interested in its activities as with proper co-opera- tion a great deal can be accomplished. It was stated this morning by Mr. ‘Wheeler that he did not know wheth- er the event would be held or not. He added further that it had mot been brought up for discussion at the last ' meeting of the board of directors. As the outing has usually been held about the first of September each vear some action will have to be taken in the near future if the annual custom is to be followed. To Test Mutto’s Insanity. Miko Mutto, who was arrested Mon- day night at his hame after a com- plaint had been made by the neigh- bors was arraigned in court yesterday before Judge Prior. He was found guilty of intoxication and breach of the peace and was sentenced to sixty days at the Seyms street institution in Hartford. It is thought by officials that Mutto is suffering from mental derangement. Of late he has acted suspiciously and queerly doing things that a sane per- son wauld not think of. He also seems to be a confirmed wife beater. Shortly after his wife returned from a hospi- 1 where she had been on account of illness, Mutto assaulted her and it is reported he made threats on her life. Mutto is the father of six children. One, a girl of sixteen he wished to turn on the street to earn her own living. In addition to investigating Mutto's sanity, officials will also ascer- tain as to true conditions at the home. Mutto will be taken to Hartford this afternoon where he will serve his sen® tence and be kept under observation. He fell by the Wayside. Found loitering around the . center yesterday in a hijlarious and intoxi- cated condition, Edward Cooke of Bristol was taken into custody by the strong arm of the law, Officer Marino making the arrest. He was arraigned in court this morning before Judge Prior and fined $2 and costs. To Attend Crocodile Club Outing. A number of years ago a man by the name of Gad Norton owned a large farm, part of which was in Bris- tol and part in Southington. He wanted it all in the town of Bristol. Therefore, he went to work an got in touch with the legislature. He asked them to pass a bill with pro- visions therein so that he might pay the taxes on his entire farm to the authorities at Bristol. They did. And then—why he asked them all down to his place and treated them to a sheep barbacue. Since that memorial day it has been the custom of politicians and prominent men from all over the state to gather at some chosen meeting point and have a celebration. The club which formed out of the first meeting is now known statewide as the Crocodile club. Lake Compounce was chosen this year as the rendezvous, tomorrow be- ing the day set aside for the celebra- tion. A number of local men are al- ready making preparations for at- tending, among whom are Fire Chief Norton. It is expected that between four and five hundred will be present. James Cray of Bristol has invited all of the mayors in the state to be his guests. Among the prominent guests last year were Governor Holcomb. ¥ Report Large Crops. According to reports, the land which was donated by the Trumbull Electric company to its employes and the land given for use by J. Norton of Worcester, Mass,, will yield large crops this year. Those who availed themselves of the latter offer have proven to be industrious farmars and ag testimony a stalk of corn Wwas brought from the land a few days ago. It measured almost eleven feet.
