It all reports are tiue, it is expected that the democratic caucus will be a harmonious one, as any coptests that may have developed will all he smooth- ed out before the caucus Is reached. There was a meetitg of the damo- cratic town committee on Thursday ev- ening to decide on the final ticket that will be nominated this evening. fle nothing definite could be learnsd from the various members of the committee it is understood that the democrats will nominate Errol Lillibridge for first se- lectman and P. T. Connell, 0w a mem= ber of the board of selectmen, for see- ond selectman. I'or tax collest: is understood that Harold T. Rabinson will be nominated and for town clerk, Charles S. Holbook, republican incum- bent, will be eudorsed for this cffice. For assessors mothing definite could be learned but it is considered that Mick- ael J. Curran will be renominatel, and for the school board there was nothing definite given out. It is understood, however, that there is some difficu’ty in finding candidates for the school board, as C. O. Murphy, Who has serv- ed for many years, will not run again and also William P. McGarry whi term expires in 1922 is reluctant about runming for another term. There are two members of the school boara to be nominated, ome to take office in 1921 and the other in 19f2. Judge T. IT. Kelly and Robert McNeely are the two members of the board who held over, eir terms expl Ing in 1923. Cornelius ?Dmel 1s prastically certain of nom- ination for registrar of voters. 2 Whether the complete repubican ticket for the caucus has bezn made up is said to be a guestion and the caucus may be enll rened by a conmtest or two, but it is considered altogether prob- able that the two present republican selectmen, Casper K. Bailey and Charles P. Bushnell, will be renominat- ed. Town Clerk Charles S. Holbrook is looked upon as practically sure of renomination by the repuBficans and of election as well if the report that the democratg have endorsed him is true. For tax collector there is said to be some doubt, but the rumor is that Har- old T.” Robinson, democrat, will be en- dorsed by the republican eaucus. John B. Oat, who was appointed an assessor to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Frank H. Woodworth, is sald to be in line for nomination to fill ont the un- exired term and Arad R. Manning is ta'’ked of as the other assessor to be nominated. The two present republican members of the Hoard of reflef, James C. Fitzpatrick and Fred H. Prothero, are said to be in line for remomination and Tyler D. Guy is equally certain of being renominated as registrar of vot- ers. Daniel F. McNeil, auditor, and Willilam H. Allen, F. L. Woodard and L. O. Smith, present agents of the town deposit fund, are 2!l considered likely candidatgs for remomination. Charles A. Saxton, whose term on the school board expires in 1921, and B. P, Bish- op, whose term: expires in 1922, would without doubt be remominated, it is said, but it is not known vet whether they would consider running again. There are four nomimations for consta- bles to be made on the party tickets, but it is not known who are being con- sidered for these places. REPORT LABOR OUTLOGK IN STATE IS IMPROVING According to an industrial survey by the United States department of labor, marked improvement is reported in the general tone of busin®ss through Con- necticut, particularly in textiles. Many mills which have been closed or working on a reduced basis have increased their working force. Metal trades are still quiet, with the outlook not encouraging. High costs act as a deterrent in the build- ing line. Tobacco and other farm labor is plentiful. Consensus of opinion is that further industrial improvement will be slow. In Hartford reduced prices and imme- diate deliveries are offered as an incen- tive to customers. There is no housing shortage reported from Hartford. Sev- eral plants have closed, however, for va- cations. Some industrial leaders look for a slight improvement in the near future. Bridgeport and Waetrbury are two out of 27 large cities which reported employ- ment decreases during Augustover July Bridgeport’s per cent. being 3.8 and Wa- terbury's 1.2. Employment increases are reported in New Haven, 6.1 per cent, which is one of the 38 cities showing an improvement. The report on certain cities in Connec- ticut is as follows: Bridgeport—Unemployment prevails to some extent in practically all industries, but to a lesser extent in textiles than in metal products. With one minor excep- tion no plan’ are entirely closed. The recent issue of city bonds to the extent of $300,000 make possible municipal im- provemenis that will furnish employment to 800. Concentration among families and removals from the city have relieved the housing shortage. The next three months is expected to see definite industrial im- provement. Middleown—Unemployment is general, Several large concerns are closed for lack of orders. One typewriter company has reopened, with a third of its normal force, and’is on a three days per week basis. Immediate prospects do not seem bright. New Britain—Metals and metal prod- ucts show heaviest unemnloyment. The city is employing a large number on pub- lic improvements, rotating groups so that many will benefit. The fall should show a decided improvement. New Haven—Unemployment is general except in the clothing industry. Thers are few plants operating full time er with full forces. A $1,500,000 laboratory will be constructed for Yale university, giving employment to many. From 300 to 500 are empolyed on street work. Building is below normal. It is generally believed that business will pick up in the fall. e L SR e THAMES BRIDGE TOLLS SET NEW HIGH RECORD Gross receipts at the toll bridge over the Thames river for the month of Au- gust set a mew high record, notwith- standing that this # the first monthly report following the abolitlen of tolls for pedestrians. The amount of goney lost through the abolition of tolls for pedestrians and the reduction also brought about through the purchase of commutation tickets can- not be determined. There is no record kept of free passags or reduced passage. But the bridge remains a fine revenus producer for the state, ‘The total gross rereipts for were $21,329.59, were $14,745.59. Although many people walked across the bridge, thousands of people rode across and consequently paid a toll, The figures show a total o7 75,408 passengers in vehicles crossed the bridge, paying August and the net receipts $3,770.40 for the privilege.

SUES FOR CONFISCATED COAL Shipments of coall aeged to have been confiscated during the scarcity of that product a year ago, is the basis of one of the interesting suits brought to the September term of the civil side of the New Haven superior court. The suit is brought by the Connecticut Co. against the New York Central railroad. In the papers it is set up that the trol- ley company purchased large quantities of coal at the mines at $5.50 a ton. In October, November and December of 1920 the coal was shipped from the mines and while it was in transit over the New York road that corporation, it is claimed, confiscated the coal for its own use, and now refuses to pay the bill. The Connecticut Co. sets up that during those three months a total of 1,010,200 pounds of coal was thus taken, at a time when it was impossible to buy it in the market. The Connecticut Co. claims damages. of $9,000. “RACE OF THE CENTVRY" IS TO BE INVESTIGATED Hartford, Conn., Sept. 3—The executive committee of the Connecticut Fair As- sociation discussed the race between Single G and Peter Manning at a meet- ing this afternoon.

Favored witn good growing temperatures and plenty of rain in practically the entire corn belt, the production forecast made a jump of 154,000,000 bushels, bringing the indi- cated production to 3,186,000,000 bush- els, or 48,000,000 bushels less than last year's crop, the largest ever grows. With continued favorable conditions this year's production may yet become a rec- ord crop. Indications are that most of the crop s now out of danger from tye frost. \ The wheat crop showed a decline three million bushels with a total of 754,000,000 bushels indicated as this year's harvest. Oats will be a shert crop this year, the indicated produetion haVing declined 47,000,000 bushels dur- ing August, with a total crop of 1,090, 000,000 bushels forecast, That is 43 000,000 bushels smaller than last years crop and 343,00,000 bushels less than the average for the five years previous to last year. Potatoes showed an increase of seven million bushels over a month ago with a total of 323,000,000 bushels, but the crop is almost 100,000,000 bushels small- er than last year and almost 50,000,00 bushels below the average of the five years previous. Tobaceo produetion indieations show- ed an inerease of 59,000,200 pounds over a month ago with a totai of 343,000,649 pounds. The improvement was erm- fined almost entirely to the northern tobaceo producing states. There were only minor changes the indigated production - of crops. Irak: Which May Be World’s Baby Nation. The impending addition of a new member to the family of nations—the Kingdom of Irak,-to function under a British Mandate,—is mentioned in recent dispatches from London. How this “new” country is in reality one of the oldest and most historic patches of the earth's surface is told in the following bulletin from the Washington, headquarters of the National Geographic Society. “Irak has existed as a geographical name or ages,” says the bulletin, “but in recent centuries it has had little more official sanction than ‘Manhattan’ for the American metropolis or ‘Frisco’ for a thriving Pacific port. Yet it covers more or less indefinitely a reg- ion known, and often famous, in every age of man from the dawn of tradition to the present—the fertile plain of the Tigris and FEuphrates valleys, where the Garden of Eden is supposed by many students to have been situ- ated, and where the first weak root- lets sprouted that have grown into the worldwide civilization of today. Strip Irak of its alias; call it Babylon — Ninevah — Mesopotamia, and it is known to every school child. “To gain an idea of what wonderful development can be brought about .in Mesopotamia one need only look into the past. At the beignning of history the plain of the Tigris and Euphrates was a garden-spot teeming with a well-fed and wealthy people. If there was a ‘grandeur that was Greece and a glory that was Rome’ there was as truly a spindor that was Babylon. And the splendor of Babylon was made possible six thousand vears ago largely by the wealth that sprang from the intensive cuitivation of the river plain under a gigantic system of irrigation which even the most ambitious modern systems probably have failed in many ways to surpass. “Great canals crossed the region be- tween the rivers and ran for miles on the outer sides, while smaller canals spread the water to every corner of the country. Some of these ancient canals were practically artificial rivers with two and three parallel channls, the re mains of which may be traced toda for scares of miles. Watered by these countless streams, nearly very square foot of the country produed its crops of dates, figs, grain and other products, and the population was many times that of today. “Babylon’s agricultural Utopia was not a short-lived affair, but continued for mearly ten times as long as the period which has passed since white men settled in America. The countr: throve with only minor interruption. under Babylonians, Assyrians, Chal deans, Greeks and Romans. But al- ways the settled civilization of the agriculturists was threatened by the turbulent hill people to the north and ‘east. Finally the Partehians captured the country and were followed by the Persians. Under these more barbar- ous rulers the great irrigation systems, even then much less efficient than dur- ing the golden age of Babylon, rapidly deteriorated. “Under the Abbassid Caliphs, with a combination of Arabic and Persian culture, Bagdad was founded on the Tigris in the very center of the river plain—the splendid, gay, wicked Bag- Mesopo- tamia’s prosperity, though much less, was still relatively great, and Bagdad was for awhile the metropolis of the world, its inhabitants at ome tir/: numbering 00,000 souls. “When the Turks got possession of the Caliphate and carried its seat on to the west, Bagdad withered; and under Turkish rule the Tigris and Euphrates valley entered its darkest period. The few canals that has con- tinued to function properly joined those that long before had fallen into disrepair, becoming clogged or break- ing their banks and causing floods. Much of the incomparably fertile soil became and has remained until today bare plain or oozy swamp. Only a small percentage of the rich valley has for generations produced any crops. fter the Young Turks came into power in 1308 reclamation work was undertaken in the Tigris and Euphrates plain and some headway was made.

INCIDENTS IN SOCIETY Miss Henrietta Browning has returned from a visit with friends at Cape Cod and is at her home at Kitemaug. Mrs. Henry T. Arnold is visiting her son and daughter-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. Henry D. Arnold, in Waban, Mass. TReginald Ashbey has been the guest for a few days of Mr. and Mrs. Russell B. Olds (Dorothy A. Jones) of Charles City, Towa. Mr. and Mrs. Archa W. Coit and two children are at their home or Lincoln avenue after spending the summer at Pleasant View, farther. An appreciable acreage has been drained, and dams and canals have been constructed. A railroad has been built from Bagdad to Basara, the port near the Persian Gulf, a distance of several hundred miles; and another line has been laid up the Tigris half way to Mosul. Connection with the Constantinople-to-Bagdad (once the ‘Berlin-to-Bagdad') railway will prob- ably be effected in the near future. “It is planned under the new Arab state and the mandate to continue the work of rejuvenating the country's an- cient irrigation system. But there is a Herculean task to be accomplished before ‘The Garden of Eden’ blooms again. It was estimated before the ‘World War that the ambitious project im 3,500,000 acres The total area of the Turks to recl: would cost $130,000,000. that might be irrigated is placed at about 12,500,000 acres.” * RESTORING BLACK WALNUT In an effort to restore the black walnut 150 bushels of seed have recent- ly been planted at Mont Alto, Pa., and next spring it is expected fully 100,000 _seedlings will be available for replanting in groves in various parts of the-State. It is not difficut to start a walnut plantation, says the American forestry Magazine, and it cites the case of an Indian farmer in the Far West, who a few years ago, after an exceptionally heavy teed year, drove his wagon down Porteous & Mitchell showing of all the best makes of Ginghams in a wide range of patterns and color combinations—all- at the new low prices.
