Mrs. Brown Tells Her Experience. The following brief account of an * interview with a Norwieh woman over six years ago, and its sequel, Will be read with keen interest by every citi- zen. Mrs. Margarct Brown, 340 W. Main Street, says: “My back and kidneys were in a bad way and I suffered much from a dull, heavy ache in my back. It grew worse gradually until it was almost impossible for me to get out of bed mornings. I was in that con- dition for nearly a vear, trying differ- ent medicines without help. Finally I happened to hear of Doan’s Kidney Pills and I got some at Sevin & Son's Drug Store. I found them jyst what I needed. They made me feel like & different woman, better than I had felt for years. My kidneys are now acting’ regularly and the pains have left” (Statement given July 22, 1911) On May 18, 1916, Mrs. Brown sai “Doan’s Kidney Pills certainly are ex- cellent and they do what is claimed for them. At times, when-a cold set- tles on my kidneys and causes my back to ache, I use Doan’s Kidney Pills and they never fail to give me prompt relief. Price 60c, at all dealers. Don’t sim- ply ask for a kidney remedy—get Doan’s Kidney Pills—the same that Mrs. Brown has twice publicly recom- mended. _Foster-Milburn Co., Mfers., Buffalo, HERCULES TIRES 1¢ a tire fails tg run 4000 mi will replace it with another. tire for one-half the below price.

URGED TO APPLY FOR MONEY AVAILABLE Defense Council Smith-Hughes Bi Those who direct the affairs of high schools in Connecticut_are being urg- ed by the Connecticut State Council of Defense to ‘make application for their share of the money available to the state under the Smith-Hughes Bill, vassed by congress last year, the money to be used for the in‘roduction of courses in vocational agriculture. Applications to share in the appro- priation may be made to the state board of agriculture. The letters have been sent to the chairmen of school committees or boards of education in towns and cities where there are high schools and to tho principals of all high schools in_the state. ~ The letter follows: Dear Sir: In order to reach its maximum of food production ' and conservation Connecticut must take advantage of every opportunity to give instruction along agricultural and home economics lines. ~ An opportu- nity to introduce such training in hizh schools of the state where it did exist before has' presented . itself in the form of the Smith-Hughes bill, rassed by congress last vear. (Public Document No. 95, 63rd congress). This bill_provides a certain sum’ of money proportionate to the rural population of each state for the teaching of ag- riculture in rural districts and for the training of teachers of agriculture. The report of the Committee on Food Supply and Conservation, Connecti- cut State Council of Defensc, to the council gives the following details of the ‘provisions of the Smit)-Hughes N ‘Section 2 of the Federal Act pro- vides for the supervision of agricul- ture instruction and for the payment of teachers of agriculture in high sckpols. $10,000 is available for Con- necticut from tme Federal Act for the two vears ending September 30, 1919. The state will duplicate this amount. The total amount available therefore, is $20,000 for the two vears. It is assumed' that two-thirds,of the sal- ary of an instructor migfit be paid from the Federal and State funds. The local community to pay the balance of the salary of the instructor and to vide for Jabratory equipment. The fund - therefore is sufficient to estab- lish an agricultural department in pissible eight or ten high schools in the_state. “The legislature, in accepting thé provisions of the federa; act. designat- ed the state board of education as the state board to co-operate with the federal board of Vocational Educa- tion in the administratien.of this act. It is_provided further, how.ver, that the State Board of Education shall desiznate the Connecticut Agricul- tural colleg> as the institution to su- vervise the instruction in asriculture, as provided for in Section 2 of the Federal act. “Section 4 of the Tederal act pro. vides for the preparation of teachers of agricultural subjects and for the teachers of home economic subjects. $6,000 is available from the federai grant under this section for the two year period ending September 30, i919. The state must duplicate this amount. The total amdunt avaiiable therefore under Section 4, 1s $12,000 for the two yvears. Section 3 of the provides for the supervision of instruction and the payment of sal- aries of teachers of trade§ home ecom- lomics and industrial subjects. $23,- 500 is available from the Foderal act for the two years ending September PALMS FOR BACKUS © HOSPITAL ENTRANCE .by Washington Street Improve Grounds, Gift Made The eatrance to the Backus hospi- tal has been greatly improved in ap- pearance by a number of very large palms, the gift of a Washington street gentleman and his wife.

Tents Cen-| " oustan's Nurseries. ters of Interest. GILBERT S. RAYMOND, Secretary County Agricultural Society There may bave been fairer days in June than the first fair day.of the 63d annual fair of the New London County Agricultural soclety, but if so it has passed beyond mortal memory in the brief intervening period. Monday was eure a fair day in Septcmber, and then some more. So, weatherwise, the fair was of the highest standard, which is applicable to all the defails that go to make up a complete apd success- fully maraged agricultural fair. and its many modern additions that is requisite to bring these annual events up to the highest rlane of modernization in that particular lipe. In markel comparison is the big event mow in pragress with the initial faic held on the Fast Great Plain 41 years ago. The. fair officials placed the Labor day artendance at 11,000.- 3 Classed Among the Best. This first fai. jn Norwich had an infinitesimal attendance in comparison With the estimated attendance of eleven thousand on th: opening day. Then the fair was an exhibition.of fruits, vegetables and needlework, and juet a few preserves, with cake and bread on the side. There was no cattle exhibit, no midway, no vaudevilie, no horse racing, no «balloon ascension no poul- try exhibit, and not even a tight rope walk. For this was before the days when the fellow walked the tight rope, or cable, before the time of the slack wire. He used to walk on the cable with a small stove on his back. carry a iong balance pole, anl sit on the cable and go through the antics of cooking and eaticg a meal. That was consid- ered a sreat act, even at fairs of a later period. But all this, like all other things that were remarkable, or con- sidered so, have passed on to make way for those that are modern, more attractive, more inte b ting, and bor- dering en' the real da..ng. The Nor- wich fair has undergone a remarkable evolution, and today it is classed with the very best in New England. The| management each vear emdcavors to make the falr bigger and better than ever, and with success. For years this fair was run along strictly agricultural lines, but now it has beccme a _real fair, ‘replete in all its details, and in- terests people in all walks of life with- in and -vithout the county. This was made plain in Monday’s attendance, when probably every city and town in New London,county and Washingfon county in Rhéde Island was represent- ed. Although it was.the first day, long Dbefore noon the fair was in full opera- tion. Midway was in swing. herds of cattle and swine were on exnibi‘for, the engines cf the farn implements were puffing, and the big event was on ity 63d trip. It was a big assemblage, a sort of reunion of friends who had not met since the last fair, and renewed ac- quaintance, and everybody seemed in £00d humor. it is seldom that so many Deople get together on such an ocea- slon witiout some litile disturbance to mar the event, but there was none of that at the Norwich fair ground Mon- day. Everybody seemed to be happy, to be thoroughlv satisfied with the en- tertainment prepared by the efcier} managément, and with real justific tio: Majer Hull Addressed Crowd. In the afternoon, before the start of the races, and when the grandstand and bleachers were filled to overflow- ing, the overflow finding sitting places on ‘the grass between the stands and the race course fence, the immense crowd was treated to an oratorical feature that was not on the program. Major Hadlai A. Hull of New London made a strong and interesting address on the war situation. under the au- spices of the, Connecticut state council of defense. ‘He was introduced by Herbert R. Branche, secretary of the Norwich Chamber of Commerce, in the absence of Mayor Allyn L. Brown, chairmar of the local town committee of the state defense council. Mr. Branche arranged for the address. and also for another like event this (Tuesday) af- ternoon, when the speaker will _be James_FHammond of Waterford. Be- fore and after Major Hull's address which was loudly applauded, several selections were rendered by Tubbs' band that furnished the music for the balance of the afternoon, until the fair closed for the day with a balloon as- cension, when at a grea‘ height the aeronaut parachuted to terra firma and without the slightest tinge of ac- cident. Traffic Kept Movin The transportation facilities to the falr, while adequate with a gradual patronage, naturally became inade- quate when the great throng wanted to leave for the city at the same time. The trolley service was all that could Dbe expected ‘under .the circumstances, but of ccurse there is limit to public transportation. The line was well patronized and publi: service cars and ‘buses were in the game for .what there wae in li, and they did a good busi- ness. The trolley fare to the fair srounds is five cents, while the 'buses charged 15 and the public service cars 25 cents. So it was the case with the people of taking choice and paying the price. ~ While there was a great amount of traffic, the good work of the trafic officers prevented congestion, youjbet I'am¥! E’W Com food! forime:— and so far as known there were no vehicula~ accidents. In fact, the only accidents of the day were bn the race track and were not of serious nature. Frank Smith of Norwich. while warm- ing up Todress for the 2.1 pacing race, ran iato a bicycle, and the harness was broken, which required some hululn. to repair before the race was The other accident was in the the 2.2¢ trot, when Josse ¥ilh¢lto{w ‘esterly, $500 Purse In 2:16 Trot—Bonnie Baby First In County [windsar.

The management of the fair was fortunate in securing for a ‘hird suc- cessive season the services of per- haps the best starting judge in all New Engiland, Albert H. Merrill, of Danvers, Mass. In consequence there was no unnecessary jockeying per- mitted on the part of the drivers and the races went along _comuaratively smooth. The judges were Arthur D. Lathrop, chairman, Elmer E. Pearson ana Wiliam W. Beckwith. In the 2.16 race, there were six en- tries ana five starters, Harland K. bay gelding, The Earl, entered by P. Harding, of Barton, Vermont, being withdrawn. Bincas won in three straight heats, with Moburn second, and a close second. Both horses are owned by C. H. Michaek of Danielson, the other entries seemingly in a differ- ent class.

In the first and on the first quarter stretch, Ellie Scott eame in contact with Mr. Carr's drive, and Mr. Carr was unseated, but not seriously hurt. Mazie Tell continued on in the race, driveriess and with the reins dangling at her heels trotted the fuil mile without a break, and siowed down when the bell rang as she passed un- der the wire, which led Starter Mer- rill to remark: ““That's the best head- ed mare I ever saw.” Another unusual feature in the event was the running George W. Leavitt nearly the twhole mile, and also_the running rest of Ei- lie Scott. These runs were consid- ered by the judges. Jersey Todd won the race in three straight heats.

The acts of The Clark Razzilians in acrial feats and the Roman ladder act, are sure top notchers, as was zlso the act of the Holman Brothers on the horizontal bars. The trick house chaps and the palr who performed the ecircus pa- rade hay wagon act created amuse- ment. The bear on roller skates was a novel feature, but the performance was to .the bear's disadvantage, by reason of the open spaces between th planks of the platform stage. This animal is thirteen months old and his trainer and owner is a boy of sixteen. The bear came from Maine to the boy in a soap box and was trained in the boy’s home in Brookiym, N. These acts, in improved form.* will be repeated this (Tuesday) aftern “Unecle Billy” Alive. Willtam J. Latham, of Westerly, known over the fair circuit as “Uncle Billy” was at the fair Monday, and alone in his class. He was undoubt- edly the onlv man on the grounds, who has dttended every one of the 63 fairs of the New London County Ag- ricultural society. Fe was born at Gardner Lake eighty-two years ago, and nineteen when he attended the first falt on Fast Great Plain. That Mr. Latham has been in g00d health nearly as for the past twenty-five years he has attended nearly all the fairs on the New England circuit. He says the Brockton fair is the biggest and best, but that tne Norwich fair is good encugh for him. Sailor Lad Assists. Bruce F. Rogers is “or the first time acting as ‘clerk of the race track. He was assisted on Monday by Herbert J. Ferguson, the former secretary, who is now in ‘the navy, and at present stationed at the Newport Torpedo sta- tion. Herbert was home on pass and was obliged to wear his uniform, which was conspicuous in the judse’ stand. He was oblized to leave for ewport before the recing was fin- shed. AGRICULTURAL HALL.
