A short programme was carried out there, beginning with the singing of the Star Spangled Banner by pupils of grades 5 to 8 of the public schools. Then came a flag drill by the girls of the Willimantic schools, followed by the address of ex-President William Howard Taft. The singing of America by the audience completed the pro- gramme. Then th® vast crowd began to swing back to the city proper, and from that time until late at night the streets were filled with eager pleasure seekers and a general feeling of gaiety was abroad. The Krause shows on Wind- ham field came in for a big night, the grounds being thronged by a crowd eager to have a good time.

An associate of Andrew Carnegie, head of .the H. C. Frick Coke Co., the largest coke producers in the world, Henry Clay Frick is a pattern for anybody to follow. His grandfather, a staid old miller and distiller, took young Frick to “give him a start in the world.” Henry saved all of the “start”—a few dollars, but could see no great oppor- tunity in mill stones and whiskey stills. These processes*were too slow for him, so he bought a small coke oven, added other ovens as he mar- keted his product, installed new de- vices, introduced new methods until nis coke-was famed as the best on the market. From that time on men beg- ged him'to take their monev and put it with his. 2 Today the man who saved his little “start” heads a company holding nearly 40,000 acres of coal lands, cp- erating 12,000 coke ovens producing when run at their capacity 250,009 tons a day. If Opportunity met you on the street today and said *Take my hand and T'll lead you fo a future bright with prospects of wealth if you cun but show me that you have like Frick, saved a “start,” how mu could vou stow? 3 The Willimantic-Savings Institute Incorporated 1842 H.

UNION STREET ABOUT 1840 \ Reprint from Old Public Medium ital today and which would be her capital tomorrow were Polish dreams to come true. In Cracow, the great city of Poland’s past, the royal palace still stands; but it is used as a bar- racks and not as the home of a king. The cathedral is now the Valhalla of its departed greatness; for there sieep the kings and the heroes from the Jagellons to Kosciuszko. Not far away is the Kosciuszkaberg, one of the most remarkable memorials ever reared by the hand of man—a huge mound of earth brought by loyal Poles from every battlefield in the world consecrated with Polish blood. “The country around Cracow is flat and is devoted almost wholly to small farming and trucking. The peasants dress in white jackets and blue breeches, and wear jackboots; their women folk, with large bright shawls and picturesque head-dress, brighten and give spirit to the country-side. “From Cracow to Lemberg the trav- eler encounters good land; it is fair- ly level and entirely innocent of fences, boundary stones marking party lines, and tethers or herdsmen keeping livestock where it belongs. The same LINCOLN BUILDING AND BAPTIST CHURCH POOREST OF ALL' OF AUSTRIAN PROVINCES. Galicia an Agricultural Region About Size of State of South Carolina, But With Big Population. (Special to The Bulletin.) Washington, D. C. june 24.—For months war dispatches from Galicia— where vast armies have swayed back and forth, locked in one of the out- standing, titanic struggles of history to decide the fate of empires and of two mighty races—have gripped the popular attention more than the news om any other battle theater. On Galicia's _fields during the past few months have been done such feats at arms as the modern world could not have dreamed of; the strength of at Russia swept over this Austrian crowniand, driving its powerful armies over the plain in the north, over the up the southern slopes gged Carpathians, on to their crests, beyond these crests, hovered over the fertile prairie of Hungary. re the wave spent its irresistible and upon the dreary mountain above the clouds, amid the ice and snow and chill cold of early spring the flower of Russian and Austro- German strength began rolling back- ward toward the north, still locked in continuous, grinding battle, until now the foothills have been left behind and the terrific contest is surging in the direction of Lemberg and the northern n. The nature of this war theater it has beheld among earth’s ster: nost bilter scenes is intimately ibed by William Joseph Show- alter in a statement prepared for the National Geographic Society. This a He; Poland is practically em- by the crownland of Gali crownland is almost exactly the size of the State of South Carolina, but it has a population six times as sreat. If continental United States, exclusive of Alaska, were as densely populated as Galicia, we would boast of a population four times as great as that of Russia. And yet Galicia is the poorest of all the provinces of Austria. 1t lies outside the ramparts of the Car- thians, which rob it of the warm winds that otherwise would come to it from the south, and also turn back upon it the cold winds of the north. Thus these mountains TV Galici; long, cold winters; hot, blistering summers, and dreary, ch autumns. “The glory of Poland's past and the hope of her future are Cracow and Lemberg, for it was the former that was her capital in the yesterday of history and the latter that is her cap- methods of agriculture that we used in the United States before the davs of the seif-binder and the grain drill are still in force in that Fegion. “It is in Lemberg that the only Polish-dominated legislative assembly in existence holds its sessions, for Lemberg s the capital of Galicia, and the Poles, both because of their shrewd political ability and their numerical weight, control the Galician legislature in the face of their rivals, the Ruthen- ians of Kast Galicia. The city of Lemberg is largely modern—a compa nucleus surrounded by scattering Galicia is almost wholly an agricultural region, and while a lar; percentage of that agriculture is car- ried on in the old-time way, there are some few manufacturing neighbor- Eoods and industrial districts. Distil- leries occupy first place among the in- dustries, and there are many beet- sugar and tobacco factories. Petrole- um _springs abound along the Car- pathians, and some of the towns in this region grow ‘from small villages to modern Beaumonts between New Year and Christmas. “Galicia has many of the world’s most famous salt mines. Those at Wieliczka have been worked for near- ly seven centuries, at one time being a principal source of revenue for the Polish kings. Railroads are not per- mitted to run near them lest their vi- brations result in cave-ins. Within these mines are a labyrinth of salt- hewn. streets and alleys, lined with pillared churches, staircases, restau- rants, shrines, and monuments, “Austria has never treated her Poles as the Russlans and the Prussians have treated theirs. The Poles of Aus- tria are as free to sing their national songs as the people of our own South are free to sing Dixie. They are as much at liberty to glorify their past and to speak their native tongue as though they were free and independ- ent. Except that they must pay their taxes to Austria and serve in Austria’s army, they are practically self-gov- erning. “As western Galicia is the strong- hold of the Austrian Pole, so eastern Galicia is the main dwelling-place of the Ruthenian. The 'two races never get along very well together. The peasant population of Austrian Poland eke out a hard existence. In many parts of the country the peasant lives in a log hut covered with straw. he breakfasts, dines, and makes his sup- per of porridge, washing it down with bad brandy; and in general lives a life full of want and empty of pleasure. The peasants who farm for the nobles receive no money in payment, but only a share of the crop, often as low a share as one-twelfth, a wage of slow starvation.” l BRIEF STATE NEWS Morris Cove.—At Tabard inn Sat- urday, July 11th, the Master Slaters, 150 in number, wiil banquet.
