There is every reason to be- lieve that the Brookliyn fair, now hav- ing only onme competing fair in the county, will continue to expand and increase in attractiveness.

No Premise ¢f a Crop Unku There is Steady Cold Weather. ‘With barely a speck of ice on the bodies of water from which the annual supply comes, it is not probable that Danielson’s ice crop will be secured until some time in January or Febru- ary. Two weeks of the coldest kind of weather is necessary to make ice of sufficient thickness to make cutting profitable at the Quinebaug lake and from a week to ten days in the reser- voir pond at East Killingly. The ice cut last winter was not secured until well along after the first of the year, however, so there is no great reason to begin worrying yet. The ice had started to make at the end of last week, but the heavy rain of Sunday night broke it up again. Chance for White Caps’ Discipline, After a few days of inactivity, Peeping Tom has again been heard of, this time on Maple street, which gs new territory for his operations, at least no renorts of his appearance in that section have come in until this time.

Falls Cause Injuries. = John Heald of Attawaugan, with a broken hip, and Josiah Dike oLT'hnmo- son, suffering from a fractured knee cap, are patients at the hospital. Both injuries were caused by falls on the ice. Many Red Cross Stamps Received. Thousands of Red Criss _stamrs were received by firms and individuals here. While the circular letter which came with them from the state tuber- culosis commission. gives no hint of what return is expected, most local people propose, if they use them, to return one cent for each. Mill Runs Day and Night. The mill of the Waterman Worsted company here continues to be oper- ated-on a day and night schedule, adding considerably to the prosperity of the eity. Loyalty to home business enter- prises is one of the suggestions heard by holiday buyers from various com- mercial centers in this city. At least an effort to buy here is urged upon those inclined to do their gift shop- ping in the larger cities. Drivers Not Yet Deslgnated. No announcement has been made as to who will be designated as regular and assistant drivers of the automo- bile fire truck that will be soon add- ed to the local department, but it is understood that a number of fire- men would be pleased if selected for the places, the novelty of the place appealing t6 them. There are a num- ber of good automobile drivers in the companies of the department.

SMITH LICENSE GRANTED, Commissioners Consider H'm a Suit- able Person—Appeal Taken FEy Counsel for Remonstrants. County Commissioners E. H. Hall, | Frank O. Davis and L. E. Smith were in Putnam Monday morning to con- duct a hearing in the remonstrance against the granting of a license to Smith's cafe on South Main street. Tawyver Torrey represented th~ anp'f ant and Lawyer Carpenter the re- monstrarts. Samuel Smith, the ap-il- cant. the first witness called sa'd that he had been engaged in the liquo- business from 12 to 14 years, four years as a proprietor. Previous to coming here he had had a place in ‘Willimantic. He said that he ran a clean place and did not allow loafers to hang about the premises and that no complaint had ever -been made against him and that he had never been arrested. Sergeant Patrick Hayes of the Put- nam police. force testified that the +lace was ell conducted and that B~ h=d never had a complaint against it. Mrs. Inez Hoyle, who owns the “uilding and lives over the saloon said the place was conducted quietly and was much better conducted than it was by the licénsee previous to Smith. Tudge James A. Shea of the Willi- mantic police court. Frank P, Fenton, town clerk of Windham, said that they knew the aoplicant in Willimantic and that he conducted a good place and had a good reputation there. Judge J. Harry Mann of the Putnam city court, said that Smith had a good reputation and that his place of bus- iness had a good reputation.’ A. S. Macdonald, prosecuting attorney of the city of Putnam, stated that there had been no complaints against the place made to him. . The attorney for the remonstrants dwelt at some length on the matter of the death of Joseph Henry Dubois, who fell in the saloon Saturday af- ternoon, October 3rd, and died at the Day Kimball hospital the following Monday afternoon. The bartender, Wilfred Caisse, and other witnesses. testifled that Dubois was standing near the radiator and suddenly col- lapsed and fell to the floor.

(Special to The Bulletin.) Washington, D. C, Dec. 14.—Show- ing how Russia is larger than the en- tire continent of North America, with the islands of the Caribbean thrown in; how It octupies three-fifths of Eu- | rope and two-fifths of Asla; how its Asiatic possessions are one and a half times as great as those of China and three times as great as those of Great Britain; how it comprises one-sixth of the landed area of the globe and one. tenth of the world's population, Gilbert H. Grosvenor, director and editor of the National Geographic society, has just furnished the nearly 350,000 mem- bers of that organization with a strik- Ing pen picture of “Young Russia—A Land of Unlimited Possibilities.” After giving an impression of the di- versity of the origin of its peoples, who come from the Orient and the Oc- cident, the frigid north and the tropic south; of its range of climate, which gives the Palm Beach touch to its Crimea and the breath of the north to its White sea region; of its vast agri- cultural wealth; of the widely varying aspirations of its peoples, which differ as greatly as those of the Poles and the Mongols, as those of the Confu- cians and the Jews, as those of the Tartars and the Lapps; and of the vastness of the geographic limits of the empire, Mr. Grosvenor says: h all its geographic great. ness Russia is about as poor in natural outlets to the world as the smallest of the countries of the earth. Holland could be hidden in the vast reaches of the Russian nlain, almost as a needle yet Amsterdam does the ports of Russia together. free outlet to the open sea pean Russia possess except on the ice- bound shores of the Arctic ocean. The path from the Black sea to the Medit- erranean leads through the Bosphorus and the Dardanelles held by alien hands,” Mr. Grosvenor next shows how tbm lives within the' boundaries of Russian empire enough people to du- plicate the population of Germany, Great PBritain and France combined, with enough left over to duplicate hal? the population of Austria-Hungary. Furthermore, if Russia grows from 1912 to 2000 as she grew from 1872 to 1912 her population then will be up- ward of six hundred million. He then continues: “From such a record of size, of bigness in everythins, we should expect Russia to be an old nation, like Great Britain, with per- haps a thousand vears of unhindéred growth behind her. But, as a matter of fact, Russia is a youth among the nations compared with land, a stripling whose full stature a.nd breadth is still a subject of conjecture and_speculation. “Russia is young because she never has had a chdnce to grow until recent years. Her geographical shape or con- dition was such that for cemturies her people were constantly being enslaved or despoiled by stronger neighbo After dealing briefly with Russia’s remarkable history, especially with the surprising reign of Peter the Great, Mr. Grosvenor shows that when Alex- ander II freed the mtv million serfs of Russla he released from bondage a population equal to that of the twelve leading states of the United States, and a population more than twelve times as great as was freed by Lin- celn’s emancipation proclamation not very many months afterward. Alex- ander bought 350,000,000 acres of land for them, permn.uu t.hun to buy it from the government on terms. He thereby cerrfed into .m the most extensive piece of agrarian legislation in history. “Each village conducts its own inter- nal affairs through ‘town meetings’ and not through elected or appeinted offi- cials.
