We know that T a time when every dollar you spend ought to be looked at twice before you part with it, just remember that you ought to lock more than twice at whai you’ Hart Schaffner & Marx have based their whole business en the belief that all- wool is best for men’s and young men’s clothing; that cotton mixtures, though somewhat cheaper, are not economy. ’ of steadily rising the men and young men of America share this belief that all-wool is best; is real economy. Good clothes, like' everything else, cost more than they formerly cost, but if all-wool is best and cheapest in the long run, you ought to have it. It means more style, more service, more satistaction. It's worth the price. In spite of the war the weavers of England, Scotland, Ireland, and America have supplied the wool goods for these clothes. We believe we are upholding and strengthening the call for economy in offer- ing these all-wool clothes, with an unlimited guarantee of satisfaction.

The balmy atmosphere coupled with the fact governor’s day and the chief magistrate was present, d one of the largest crowds of re t years and absolutely the larg- thus far this week, it being esti- ted that between 17,000 and 20,000 ple visited the vagious exhibits and he midway between 7 a. m. and 6 m., with fully 2,000 more coming own at night. Tt is said that the g receipts, including automobile s and parking, were the big- ‘ever taken in yesterday, and that e midway is the biggest ever is evi- jenced by the records of Flmer ns, mapages. -Last night Mr. earns had takem in over $870 as the lday's fees. In the past years a col- ection of $500 was considered very [high. Fakirs Never Satisfied. Seomingly the fakirs are never satisfied and to grumble and com- plain is their strong point. Although all week big crowds have passed up and down the midway, stopping fre- 2 quently to spend, nevertheless the | concessionists complain that the crowd wihch has visited the fair grounds so far this fall is nota money-spending aggregation. They wail that all the crowd wants to spend is its time. But this is the wsual cry every vear and each suc- cessive year the same fakirs are only too anxious to come back, bringing friends with them until this Fall more than 125 are on the grounds. The fakirs themselves ‘in many instances have boosted thelr prices along with other lines and as an example corn on the cob and even ‘hot dogs” which have always gone to the patron at five cents each now cost a dime. The wrestling tent, the fat girl, the wild man, the games of chance and the various side-shows and other ifreak exhibitions continue to attract the eye of the visitor while the tumul- {uous voices of their respective pro- prietors continue to catch the ear of enyone within a half mile. One of the most successful men on the entire grounds, however, is the | popresentative of the Life Kxtersion association. This is a New York as- sociation given over to the exposing of all kinds of patent medicines and the representative speaks every aft- ernoon and evening from an automo- | bile on the midway. Inasmuch as it! costs nothing ot listen to him, and he is an interesting talker, this man al- ways has a crowd of several hundred | gathered around him. There are two men here from this association and on of them is particularly interesting ; personally. He claims to be a full- blooded Indian and his copper colored skin and straight black hair testify to this. He makes no mention of his race in his talk, but in conversation he says that he came from his In- dian tribe’'s reservation in the west to get an’ education. After elemen- tary training he entered Columbia University in New York city where he took a three months’ course. Later he became afiiliated with the Life Ex- tension association and became one of their platform speakers. A quick thinker, a rapid and convincing talk- er, this copper colored Indian essays to expose all of the well known patent medicines as fakes and to prove the truth of his assertions he quotes from the bulletins and records issued by the United States Department of Agri- culture and also from the docket of the United States district courts. It is his contention that practically all of the famous patent medicines that claim to cure are fakes and injures more times than they help. This afternoon the attendance at the fair was also a big one and prepa- rations are being made to handle an- other large throng tonight. Although the various exhibitors, such as the honey dealers, the cattle men, poultry exhibitors, etc., are released at noon tomorrow and many will doubtless leave early in the afternoon, the mid- way will remain open all day and eve- ning and those planning to attend the fair tomorrow will see enough of the exhibits to interest them and have the full benefit of the lively midday. In place of the horse racing, which has been attracting crowds since Tuesgday, the irack events tomorrow afternoon will be of the athletic va- riety and some excellent performers in the various field events are sched- uled to appear. The vaudeville per- formers will also repeat their acts and there will be the usual band concert. Although the United States is at present engaged in the greatest war the world has even seen, there has been practically no indication of the great cloud that hangs over the coun- try at the fair during the past week. A few soldiers and sailors on short furloughs have mingled with the crowd and Judge Foster of Bridgeport urged recruiting one day, but aside from these minor exhibitions the crowds have been just as merry, just as care- free and, it would appear, just as generaus as ever. The real evidence that the country is at war came yes- terday afternoon however, when Governor Holcomb and his suite ar- Tived. After lunching at the home of Colonel Jarvis on Worthington Ridge ! Colonel Colonel Jarvis, Mayor G. A. Quigley of New Britain, Admiral W. S. Cowles, Colonel Edward Schultze, Colonel Michael J. Wise, Major John S. Brooks, ex-Governor Rallin S. Wood- Tuft, E. Kent Hubbard of Middletown, Colonel C. H. Chase, F. C. Sumner of Hartford, Major H. Wales Lines, Major Frank L. Wilcox, B. H. Atwater and ‘W. H. Webster, occupied seats in the judges’ stand. The parade from Jarvi§ home to the fair grounds was headed by the Berlin company of Home Guards in command of .Captain George Beckett. Senator Claude W. Stevens carried the colors. At the fair ground entrance the party was met by the Philharmonic band and a platoon of policemen and there was another short procession through the grounds, Colonel Samuel Russell ot Middletown participating, mounted on his dashing steed. Governor’s Address. Colonel Jarvis, president of the Connecticut Agricultural society, made the opening address of the afternoon, introducing the governor. In his re- marks Governor Holcomb said that “we meet this year in times such as none of us has seen before. The United States, except for the little dis- turbance of the Spanish-American war, is no longer in the state of peace it has enjoyed since the Civil war. Now the United States is in the war because we were forced into it. Con- gress declared war on April 6, but as a matter of fact since May 12, 1915, when the Lusitania sank and 1,000 souls went to the bottom, among them over 100 Americans, We have been in a real state of war, and I say that then the United States should have been actively in the war. Our flag stands for the protection of its citizens and we are in this war, not far con- quest, but to preserve these rights. The United States is the fimst and greatest republic in the world; the last to get into the war, but it will be the deciding factor for this war must never end until we have a real peace and the disaTmament of the nations of the earth. Governor Wants Lasting Peace. The reported stories that Germany is wavering were touched upon by the governor who said: “There are rumors of peace already. Germany is ready for peace for she is getting the worst of it now and will con- tinue to lose strength in the future, but we want no peace dictated by her. You may remember the peace talk of 1864. Abraham Lincoln was a man of peace but he said ‘We are fighting for an object and a cause which is vital to the world; God for- bid that we cease until that object 1s attained.” What we want to see, Governor Holcomb said, is “the time when all our people can go on the high seas without molestation, when Prussianized Germany is driven off the face of the earth.” That the Nutmeg state is doing its part well was another statement made by the governor when he said: “Con- vecticut has always done her part. She sent 25,000 men into the war of Governor Holcomb, accompanied by|the revelution, when her population The Hart Schaffner & Marx label in a garment is the sign of all-wool and an absolute guaranty of satisfaction; a small thing to look for, a big thing to find. The Fall Style Book is out; let us know in case you didn’t get a copy Globe Clothing The Home of Hart Schafiner & Marx Cl was but 200,000, a portion of one ta every eight of population. She sent more than her proportionate share to the civil war and she has sent 40 per cent. more than her share in the first call in this national army. Con- necticut can be proud of her record and while T am speaking of prepar- edness 1 want to mention the first and second regiments which have been formed into the 102 regiment. Some of the soldiers were not equipped with rifles until this week and I think it is an everlasting shame to the United States that we should be in that condition after all the events which precluded our entry into this war. On March 9 the Emergency act was passed and now six months have gone and 9,500 of the best hlood of Connecticut, which is represented in part by this Berlin company, is in a body for home protection. Other states have tried to imitate us but they have fallen short of the mark. I have no doubt that the state will bo amply and fully and thoroughly protected. Scorns Alien S The ladies who have been working for the Red Cross and other ackers. such commendable objects were warmly praised by the chief magistrate and he impressed upon his listeners the necessity of continuing this work with ever increasing energy. The large per- centage of aliens in Connecticut that sought exemption because they were subjcts of a foreign power were scathingly rebuked by Governor Hoi- comb who termed it a “burning shame.” “Let the aliens bear the burdens of this country or get out of it. Any man who tells you he will stay at home and get the good job you are leaving is fit for the coroner, and that part of it is up to you” was the governor's ultimatum. dress, put his command through the | manual of arms and the various { marching formations for the benefit | of the executive party and the crowd. , In the cattle parade which preceded the governor's talk, $1 was baid for | every yoke in the procession and those | who collected were Judge Purple, | East Hampton, 14 voke; E.

There was also a hall miles walking race for oxen, the prize going to F. A. Williams. Mr. Wil- liams’ team also took a fourth place, while J. B. Reed's voke took second and third was won by W. H.

Part of his money “The necessity for greater efforts to- ward the conservation of food and the raising of more food products was impressed by the governor who said, in conclusion: “If I had been left alone I would have been back on my farm now. I want the farmers to Joyally do their bit. The crops must be furnished that this war may be fought to a successful conclusion and this nation sustainecd.” Home Guard Drills. Captain George Beckett of the Home Guard, after the governor's ad- refunded and the gaming pro- etor was put off the fair grounds. other fakirs have been warned, but with the state police su- n there is but comparatively little trouble of this nature. Last night complaint was made that a couple of pickpockets werc working, the victims claiming to have been re- lieved of bank rolls of $40 and $60 ! respectively. One man also reported his watch stolen and several others, who have not complained to the au- thorities claim to have lost articles of minor value, | States.
