Severe Fight Promised. i September here in Connecticut not jonly ushers in autumn but it bringe the annual contest hctween the pr-o- hibitionists and what they term the iRum Demon. The fight promises to be more severe and more general than usual frem now. on until the vote is taken on Oct. 1, on whaich date “town mestin’ cay” will come this vear. It witi be mighty¥ interesting this year fer a variety of reasons, amdng others because the no-license ‘men have been gaining a trifle in the last few years, as, in 1915, they had 87 of the 168 towns in the state, and in 1916 they controlled 91, while the- change of a dozen votes would have given them four or five more. This year the no- sicense forces feel that they .have the tide with them, for they think that a sentimeat for prohibition has grown since the United States entered the world war and they feel that the time has now arrized when the “d area in New England can be increased. Federal Legislation Aids. Further than that, the nélicense men say that federal legisiation has aided them in taking out the founda- tion from the claim that a no-license vote in one town amounted to little so long as a larger one near it voted for license, inasmuch as liquor could be nipped from the “‘w to the “dry” towns with little trovble, whereby the “dry” town was irrigated by streams from the “wet” one and recelved no license money by way of compensa- don. Now that the federal law pro- hibits th: shipping of liquor from ‘“wet to “dry” areas and prchibits the eircu- lation by malil of liquor advertising in no-licence territory, the no-license men feel that they are due to make many gains. The no-license forces assert now, al- though cctual proof of it is to come later, that they will bring the question of licen or no-license before the voters this fall ¥n New Haven, Bridge- port, Waterbury, Meriden, Nor- walk, Danbury, Middletown, New London, Torrington, Greenwich, Man- chester, Bristol and Windtam. That omits only Hartford, Nc¢w Britain, Stamford, Ansonia and Naugatuck® of the towns of 12,000 or over by the last census. These are omitted, the no- license folks say, not because they feel lthat they have no chance but because October brings no elections in these towns. Hartford and New Britain have the'r elections in April, Nauga- tuck, a borough whose limits are iden- tical with those of the town, has its election in May. while Stamford and Ansonia settle their affairs in Novem- ber. The great battle is sgt for Octo- ber, when a decisive gain @n either side may have a considerable effect on the !g‘rawth ¢f prohibition territory in other parts of the country, the license forces simply hold their own they have e son to be catisfied and the icense forces would have a sharp reminder that Connecticut is in no I'mind to increase its dry territory. In any event, all the interest which yis likely to attach to the October elections this year is centered in the vote on the license question. This is the mosc “off” of off years in politics, the electors have other -things to oc- cupy ‘their minds, but on the liquer question the fighting is likely to be excelien- INAVAL RESERVIST I8 H RECOVERING FROM INJURIES. | F.

COMMODORE PLANT GETS WATSON PROPERTY Former Kidder Estate at Eastern Point Changes Hands. Commodore Morton F. Plant has purchased the George H. Watson pro- perty at Eastern Point, known as Rocklawn. The place, which was for- merly the Kidder estate, containg over six acres of land, a large residence and two small cottages. It has a beautiful lawn sloping .to the river. Mr. Watson has been spending his summers there for many years. being one of the oldest members of the summer colony. The fact that a ship building plant is to be installed near the property is believed to be one cf the reasons which induced Mr. Watson to sell. The deeds were recorded at the of- -fice of the town clerk in Groton Fri- day. FAIRGROUNDS CLOSED TO SUNDAY VISITORS Only Those on Business Will Be Ad- mitted by Fair Officials. “Sometimes a cold has Owing to the confusion which nec- for the proper maintenance and pro- duction of milk, leaving very little profit for the dairymen, says the latest announcement from the Farm Bureau To eliminate this bugbear the farmer must raise setter roughage and more in, then he must have .the kind of cows that will return the feed ven in milk_and not put it upon her body. The dairyman must cull- out all cows whose production will not jpay for their keep. If an accurate account is kept of his expenses it will show that in nearly every case it is the feed bills and not those_for labor that are the real burden, With rare exception the dairy farm should pro- duce all the roughage and the egreater part of the concentrater the herd con- sumes thereby, cutting the monthly feed bills to the minimum. Assisting County Agent Whitman is wluinf at all times to assist the farmers in planning his work for an- other year, in balancing the ration for his herd, in field test to determine the, food nutrients of roughage or grain grown. In the report published this week the fifth round of cow testing it was_possible to balance the ration in two herds reducing the cost 50 cents for each hundred pounds of grain fed without anv reduction in the produc- tion of milk. Green matter should be fed to the cows at this time to keep up the pro- duction of milk ad due to fiberous con- dition of the pastures too much ener- gy is wasted in digesting the grasses. MORE LARGE CUCUMBERS. Scotland Man and Sunnyside Avenue Boy Raised Two of Unusual Size. Georg> Thomas of Scotland has raised this year a cucumber 13 1-2 inches long, weighing three and a half pounds. Another large cucumber has been raised by a boy w lives on Sunnyside avenue. This bcy has one of the school gardens condrcted under the supervision of Gordon A.
