THE CHARITY BAZAAR.
Repairs at City Hall Will Be Finished
 for Event.

The general committee in charge of the charity bazaar to be held in April for the benefit of St Mary's hospital held meeting last night in St Pa tricks hall. J. J. Mcdonald presiding and Charles F. Mcdonald acting as secretary. All doubts as to the City hall being in condition in time for the bazaar were removed by the report of the hall committee. It was an nounced that the floor had been laid and that the waxing was scheduled to be performed to-day. The floor has been laid of boards especially se- lected for dancing purposes and the committee announced last night that 1t would prove one of the best danc- ing surfaces in the state. The souve- mir program, it was announced. was apparently going to be distinct sue cess. Already the man in charge of this has collected advertisements worth $60O and he expects to get a still larger amount before the work is fully completed. Notification was received from John NJ Fitzgerald. president of the local stage hands union. that the stage hands had voted to donate their services to the com mittee free of charge and would be on hand at any time to render what ever assistance the committed wished. Assistant Treasurer John ]. McEvoy announced that circular letter would be sent in few days to every society ip the city asking for its CO., operation in making the bazaar suc- cess. Several organizations notified the committee of their intention to take part in the big parade which will mark the opening night April Is.

LOOKED LIKE WALKER
Superintendent Beach Saw a
 Stranger at Naugatuck Station

The whereabouts of the missing New Britain bank defaulter is mat ter of much concern to a very large number of people and while he IS said to have been seen here and there at different times yet he manages to keep out of the way of the army of detectives who are anxious to get their hands upon him. For all one can tell Walker may not have gone very far from the scene of his shady transactions and probably 1t would pay sleuths right here in Connecti- Icut to have lookout for him. Super intendent Beach of the Waterbury police force came near buckling into a man on Bank street yesterday af- ternoon whose appearance tailed all most exactly with the description of MT Walker and he was about to hold the stranger up when he finally saw something in the mans conduct which prompted him to conclude that he was not fugitive from justice; still he was not sure and he doesn't know now whether he made mis- take or not. The man came into Bank street from Grand street carry ing a small travelling bag and after cautiously surveying the field hur- ried along to the Naugatuck station where he walked up and down the platform. apparently thinking every minute an hour until train came in and he got chance to board 1t and get from under the police eye. It was hinted last night that one of the local sleuths who was not to be found any place about town, was shadowing this same suspicious look ing character. although the officials at the station stoutly denied that there was any truth in the story b. yond the fact that the superintendent thought he saw very strong re- semblence of the missing bank off, cial in a stranger on Bank street, but not enough to warrant taking him into custody.

 What little coal was in stock is now practically exhausted. Wood, which has heretofore been abundant. is scarce. The farmers who have hauled wood to the towns along the river banks in previous years have found 1t more profitable to supply lath and boxwood to manufacturers. and many householders now have no supply of any kind.

 New York. March 1.-Orson D. Mum. head of Mum & Co, publish CTS of the Scientific American. died here last night in his S3rd year. Mir Mum was born in Monson, Mass. June II. 1924. At the age of 22 he and Alfred E. Beach, who had been a school mate. bought the Scientific American. which had been recently founded. Their joint efforts made 1t the first popular scientific journal in the United States. Numerous re- quests to the publishers concerning procurement of patent letters for new inventions led to the company estab- fishing a patent agency, which for many years had practically a monop- oly of that class of business. owing to It's being a pioneer. It is esti- mated that more than 100000 ap- plications for patents were made through the house.

RURAL Y. M. "A. CLUB.
Good Attendance and An Interesting
Discussion.

Friday night the Y. M. c. A. Rural
club neld their second meeting since
the organization in their club room
on the second floor of the Y. M. G.
A. building.
DR.. Parker, who was scheduled to
speak on the subject of horses, was
unable to attend, he being called to
the country abouC seven O'Clock. Mr.
l.. T. Snangle was in attendance at
the meeting and talked a few min
utes on the benefits Of having a
Rural club. His talk was much ap-
preciated by all present.
Homer Hedge, vice president of
the club, gave very interesting talk
on horses, after which followed al
open discussion about horses in
which all took part. A regula" bust
ness session followed this program.
The Y. M. G. A. has fitted up a
room of the building, with tables and
easy chairs, and papers, for the use
of the members of the club, VINO
have access to the room at any time.
The club is now planning for a
banquet probably to be held the
first Friday night in June. And in
the meantime the various committees
will be at work arranging for program
and soliciting new members. BY
June they want to have at least fifty
members, and by good work on the
part of the members they expect to
nave fully that number. They also
expect something special at every
meeting. Some speaker, either local
or out of town, to speak on some
subject that will be of interest to all
rural young men.
Some of the young men have the
impression that they have to be a
member of the Y. M. C. A. to be a
member of the club. This is not SO.
Only the officers of the club have to
be members of the Y. M. c.. A.

fountaine. The canal drains about
seventy acres of fine Mahaska land,
located on the Des Moines river bot
tom"
The plans call for a ditch one foot
in width at the bottom. The width
of the ditch at the top will be govern,
ed by the depth, which varies from
three to six feet. The construction OF
the ditch costs the county nothing, as
the bills are to be met by the owners
whose land is to be benefited by the
drainage.

been turned into a flower garden.
Those in attendance at the various
departments are very courteous and
kind to stranger while on visit
there. We we're informed by a mem
Der Of the faculty That there were
sixteen hundred students enrolled
there. The writer has often been
proud to live in Iowa, but now more
so than ever after noting the wonder
full opportunities this generation has
to secure an education to what the
elder ones had. The writer when he
attended school in North Carolina at
tended in log house 16 by 20, with
split logs for seat with no back to it.
The Herald readers can readily imag-
inc that this was very pleasant, pre-
sided over by an eignteen4iollara-
month teacher. The Webster Ele-
mentary Spelling Book and Emerson's
Arithmetic was our stock of books,
and when we could work out long di-
vision and spell bater-shady correctly,
our education was then completed and
we were ready to grapple with the
affairs Of life. A visit to Ames would
convince any sceptic that we are liv.
ing today in the most enlightened age
of the world. We saw in this col
lege the future destiny of the model
man and woman il their journey of
life, all at the expense of the great
commonwealth of Iowa, and ii the OPP
portunity is neglected it certainly
must rest on the pupil. We expect
to make return visit to Ames again
when we can spend more time.
The writer rode from Des Moines to
Altoona, eleven miles, on the Inter
urban running to Colfax. The ride
cost him twenty-five cents. The large
car, arranged as we'll as any passenger
car on our railroads, was well loaded
with every convenience for the travel
ing pubhc. The conductor informed
us that the road was having all the
trade it could handle. While in the
country the car stopped at four sta
tons and picked up six old ladies
with their baskets of butter and eggs
for the Altoona market. One good
old mother told US she made the trip
twice each week, as she could not af-
ford to hitch up a horse for the money
she paid for her ride, and at the same
time could be at home within one hour
of the starting time if necessary to do
so. Mr.. Anderson, real estate man,
informed us in Altoona Saturday night
that he had seen as high as twenty
five couples come out from Des
Moines for an outing in the country,
and their hotel during these times
was overtaxed with patronage for sup
per and the same of lodge nights dur
ing the week when the various lodges
meet. He claimed it is the best invest
ment farmers ever made. He had just
sold two farms on the line to Illinois
men, one for eighty-five dollars per
acre, and the other for ninety dollars
per acre. He said the same land was
listed in his office two years ago for
seventy-fve dollars per acre, with no
buyers and predicted that the interur-
ban was the coming mode of travel.

Below FREEZING.

The local temperature Friday night
went down a little below the freezing
point and fears are entertained for
the fruit. The cold came in the alb
sence of moisture, however, and with
a thickly clouded sky, and those who
are experienced in these matters claim
that the fruit will not be injured to
any extent.
