An event of more than ordinary interest to the public, beginning Saturday the 18th and ending Satur- day, the 20th, will be the 44th an- niversary and holiday display of G.. w. Fairchild & Sons of Bridgeport. They will show an extensive line of jewelry in all departments and a visit to the store on any of the seven ex- nibition days will satisfy you that their stock comprises the most ex- elusive designs ever offered in Bridge port at reasonable prices. They as- sure you, that their service and goods will meet your approval. They select from the markets of the world--the best only and the fact of their be- ing a large buyer offffers you the advantage of buying at the lowest possible charge and placing their goods before you at better prices than a small dealer could themselves buy. They would also call your at tention to their Diamonds and other gems displayed on this occasion. They will outdo any former attempt in this respective line and they feel sure that the people of Bridgeport and surrounding towns will appfeci- ate this opportunity, such as has never before been offered in that city. Every department will have it's special offerings, and bear in mind that their careful and long-ccntinned search of the interests Of their cus- toners has given them an intimate knowledge of their needs. Forty four years ago the doors of this great jewelry house were opened to the purlic. This almost half- century business career has established confi- dence in the hearts of their many customers, so that there is no ques- tion as to "Fairchild's Diamonds" "Fairchild's Watches" or the general expression "Fsirchilds Jewelry." The name "Fairchild" has become stan dard-a name synonomous for hon. est dealing and greatest values and will always mean a dollars value for a dollar. Few of to-day remember the beginning of their business ca reer, but the many have an oppor- tunity of dealing with "the lowest priced house in Connecticut for fine goods" They appreciate the many favors they have had from customers and take this occasion to extend their thanks.

krleger-Verein Picnic

The Watertown Krieger Verein
held its annual picnic Sunday at It's
usual ricnic grounds. The Fort
Atkinson military band came early
in the morning with quite a a delega-
tlon from that city to participate In
the enjoyments of the day. There
were also delegates present from COL
umbus and Milwaukee which aug
mented the crowd which gathered for
the purpose of talking over the old
times when they served in the Ger
man army, some of whom helped in
"bating'' the daylights out of the
French in the Franco -Prussian war
and taught Napoleon Third that the
Germans might be slow, but that they
we're persistent and always kept COM
ing until they invested gay "Paree"
and the French empire was merely a
matter of history.
The threatening of rain during the
afternoon which finally came before
the ending of the picinc, interfered
seriously with the plans and enjoy
ment of the day, for many in antici-
patton of rain, lett the picnic grounds
and many of the games bad to be
called off, and when the rain finally
came, the crowd dispersed. The
society should have another picnic al
later date and experience the enjoy
ment denied them Sunday,

P. gas engine, the gas being furnished
by one of the Atkinson gas producing

selves, making the cost for motive

A Change Probable

The republican party is hopeiessiy
divided into cliques and factions war
ring against each other. There are
the stalwarts, progressives, high tariff
men, revislunists and men IN high
Offices to which they were elected by
republican votes, acting with the
democracy, yet claiming to be repub-
licans. There ia but little or on hope
that there will be unification Of the
party by the time of the next state
election and its only hope OF SUCCESS
ls IN the divided and demoralized con-
dition of the democracy. 1t also has
it's progressives, who are thoroughly
disgusted with the way the party has
been manipulated in the past in the
interest of a few politicians; there
are high and low tariff elements in
the party, and in the south the DEM
ocracy has become a distinctively pro-
hibitive party.
The outlook portends the breaking
up of both of the old parties and the
formation of new party upon nation
al lines and the advocacy of principles
that shall be fair and just to all in
terests and sections without favor to
any special class. Thousands of voters
throughout the country, in both the
republican and democratic parties are
ready for any change which will be
for the best interest of the whole
country.

Great Wisconsin Farm Paper

No agricultural paper il the United
States has made such remarkable pro-
gress during the past year as has been
shown by The Wisconsin Farmer,
published weekly at Madison. Every
department of the paper has been
made brighter, fresher, more attrac-
tive. and more representative of the
agricultural, horticultural, dairying,
stock raising and other farm interests
of the great state of Wisconsin. The
Wisconsin Farmer is especially sJrong
in it's editorials, which cover every
phase of farm life and thought in this
staue. 1t has, also, large corps OF
special contributors from the expert
ment stations of the Northeast and
among the successful farmers, dairy
men and other specialists In agrlcul-
tural and emi-agriculturlsl lines.
1t maintains, in addition to an ex-
tremely able editorial department,
special departments devoted to dairy
ing, horticulture, poultry, sheep,
handy farm devices, farm law, veter-
mary matters, current events, home
and Sunday school. Its home depart
m.nt, edited by lady who is famil-
lar by experience in farm life, is an
exceedingly valuable feature. The
paper is attractively illustrated and
being edited by bona fide farmers,
who live on and operate their own
farms, is intensely practical The
subscription price is $l.00 a wear.
Address the Wisconsin Farmer Com
pany, Tenney Block, Madison, Wis. ,
or leave your subscription at this
office. We make low combination
clubbing rate for the Wisconsin
Farmer in connection with the Water
town Weekly Leader giving both pa
psrs for only $1.50 per annum. Every
farmer should have both papers.

WOOdmen Memorial Sermon

Memorial services were held Sunday
afternoon at the First Methodist
church in memory of the departed
members of Log Camp No. 4O1. Mod
ern Woodmen of America. The mem
bers of the camp and auxiliary organ
ization and many of their friends
were resent to bear silent testimony
to the virtues Of the absent members
now sleeping in the silent city of the
dead.
The sermon fer the occasion was
delivered by Rev. M. L. Eversz, the
pastor Of the church who took for his
text, the words of Jonathan to David !:
1 Samuel 20 Is, "Thou shalt be
missed, because thy seat will be emp
ty, - and preached a very practical
and eloquent discourse, in which he
held logically that life was d trustee
ship and that every one would be held
responsible for how that duty was
performed: that righteousness comes
from the use of the straight edge and
that to be righteous. men and women
must be straight edged in all the
relations of life, spiritually, morally,
socially and politically; that the fam
Ilv is the unit, and as is the family,
so will be the community, state and
nation; hence the necessity that the
family should be christian in senti-
ment and practice. He paid a feel
ing tribute to the members who had
passed away and uf the benefit of the
Lodge in teaching brotherly love and
care for the brother and his loved ones
when he bas been called out of the
mortal life, but none should forget
that the church and its claims have
the greater demands.
After the services, the Woodmen
and Royal Neighbors repaired to the
several cemeteries laden with beauti-
ful and fragrant flowers and decorated
the graves of the departed.

A Word Of Praise

AS the session of the legislature
has practically drawn TO close, we
feel justified in saying, that the Hon.
G. F. Viebahn, the representative for
this district IN the assembly, is one of
the few men IN the Legislature who
made an enviable record. He has
almost invariably, voted right on
every question, no clique nor faction
having any string On him, and voted his
convictions. He WAS independent ard
conscientious as a legislator to a
marked degree, being a noted excep-
| tion to the general run of legislators.
Is 1t right or wrong, was bis first
mental inquiry and after an unpreju-
diced investigation and he had arrived
in his mind at conclusion as to the
rightfulness or wronefulness of a
measure, he chose the right side and
was unmovable, often voting with the
minority rather than compromise with
his conscience. He introduced several
meritorious bills, which were enacted
into laws. He seldom spoke on the
fiuor Of the assembly, but when he
did, he was given attention and q
respectful hearing, for he had some.
thing to say, usually clear, direct anG
positive.

Our Washington Letter


By way of diversion from the tedious
debates on the tariff, Washington has
suddenly developed a lively interest
in the concert of international powers.
1t is well known that Germany has
been alarming all Europe for several
months by her military spirit and
policy.
1t fas been the policy Of Great
| Britain for century to maintain a
navy equal to that of any uther two
powers, but as England is burdened
with debt uf more than So, 900. coo, =
600, and Germany has none to speak
of, it can readily be seen that Ger
many is in a much better position to
rush the construction of naval ships
| than England. This race for suprem-
acy of the seas between great inter
national powers which impose such
heavy brudens by way of taxation on
! the people, is alarming the whole
world. Germany refuses absolutely
to listen tv suggestions from any
peace movement, Of an agreement
between the powers for Limitation
of armies and navies and she simply
wants to be the "bull of Europe
and to strike d blow at whatever
country she pleases and "hold them
up for Billion Dollars indemnity
or so, as she did France nearly forty
years ago.
1t has leaked out, how ever. from
reliable resources, that this country
has given England to understand that,
if Germany makes an unwarranted
invasion of that country for which she
seems eager, that she will have to
invade this codntry too.
American people generally favor
this policy, as the spirit of war
should constantly diminish in these
times of progress and advancing civil
ization.
England buys $500, 900. 600 worth of
our products every year and is our
biggest buyer by hundreds of millions
and if that great country should be
crippled, it would be a tremendous
blow at our commerce ard besides,
that it is we'll to teach Germany that
if she will not listen to the voice of
peace and reason in her mad quest for
power, that she might as we'll expect
to lick the wnoIe world, if she is de-
termined to do any licking.
Our little baby republic of Cuba,
which is Uncle Sans ward, is again
causing serious alarm. All of the
! Cuban parrots are intent on holding
office and in order TO pacify them.
all sorts of useless offices have been
created by the Cuban Republic, which
is tremendous drain on their treas
ury.
1t will be recalled that few years
ago, Mr.. Roosevelt sent Mr.. Taft,
who was then Seceratry of War, down
there to restore peace and we were
compelled to occupy the island for
more than d year in order to restore
law and order.
1t has been pretty broadly limited
to the Cubans, that if they did not
govern themselves judiciously, that
the next time our interpostion be-
comes necessary, we will interpose
permanently.
