GIANT AUGER WITH 8 FOOT ARMS AND
 AUTO GETS HAY IN

Capt. George Augur. the giant actor. put three tons of hay in his barn on Wednesday inside of an hour The captain was in Bridgeport in the aft ernoon and he saw clouds appearing in the West. He feared that the cut hay in the fields at his farm in Fairfield would get wet. He jumped into his automobile and hurrying to the farm proceeded to pick the hay up in his arms and load it into his big touring car. Once he would have the motor car hidden from view and looking like hay mow he would drive pell mell to the barn and throw the hay into the barn in great armfuls. When he got the hay safely housed the sun came out
 One of the farmer neighbors of the big snowman says that 1t would have taken five men and two teams to get the same amount of hay under cover, with the use of forks. in the time con- stunned by Captain Augur It is esti- mated that the captain. who spans 8 feet inches with his arms, averaged six armfuls to the ton and that the automobile carried the three tons in five trips
 Capt. Angus and Ernest Rommel, his lilliputian partner and their company leave this city for Spokane, Wash, where they will start 60 weeks en- gagement playing "Jack the Giant Killer throughout the West and Mid dle West.

GLANDERS IN
 NEW HAVEN
Horse in Last Stages Drink
 ing from Public Trough

New Haven, July 30-Suffering from an advanced case of glanders, a horse belonging to Ralph Tammaro. an ice cream manufacturer of East street, was discovered drinking from the wa tering trough at the corner of East street and Grand avenue. by Officer Roach of the Grand avenue precinct, the station house, the two examined the horse and became convinced that he was suffering from glanders in a very bad form. While Roach was in the station house calling Veterinarian Atwood by telephone he was informed that the horse was being driven away.
 Rushing back sinto East street he was just in time to oyertake the team and ordered the driver to turn back to the watering trough. which. has been shockingly infected as the anil nal had coughing spell while drink ing. Atwood at once shot the horse where it stood. judging that if taken outside the city to be killed it would spread infection by the way.
 Tammaro's horse had been used every day, it is said. in the conduct of his ice cream business, and it is not known how much infection he had spread. Such a horse infects every watertrough from which he drinks and spreads the germs of the disease every where he goes. Other horses catch it very easily and human beings can easily contract it as we'll, especially through slight cut or abrasion. The Use of the horse in the conduct of the ice cream business has thus been dou- bly, dangerous. Whether the disease has spread far is not yet known. In demic of it. and many horses had to be killed 1

Children Cry
 FOR FlETChER'S CASTO RIA
MELLEN BOOSTS RIDGEFlELD INTO
 THE LIMELIGHT

Ridgefield, Conn, is torn between hope and fear. says the American. Not since General Benedict Arnold led the Colonial troops through Pound ridge, over the present highway to Ridgefeld, and there gave battle to the British who had burned Danbury, has Ridgefield been so much in the 1imelight.
 The village went Democratic at the last election and Adams & Keeler lost the best bookkeepr they ever had when Cy Corning was elected town clerk. In addition the head select man is also Democrat Since then the Republicans of Ridgefeld have been predicting something would hap pen the town.
 They thought the prediction had come true when a new line of rail- road was surveyed through there and President Mellen, of the New York. New sHaven and Hartford, listened to delegation of Ridgefeld storekeep- CTS and permanent residents who ask ed him to run a Sunday train into the village
 Of course he did not do it, but he said he'd think about it. He made one important concession by having the station clock fixed. That if is broken again now is not his fault
 When there was talk of raising the S0mmutaton rates and regular fare along MT. Me1len's line Ridgefeld was afraid 1t would be forgotten. but as an evidence that 1t was on the map the railroad fare was raised about three weeks ago from $1.20 to $I.25 between New York and Ridgefieid.
 Ridgeheld had not been neglected and that was something, besides it had been a great boon to the only tongue-tied resident, who was able to on1 than dollar and twenty cents
 Yesterday the joyful news became generally known in Ridgefield that President Mellen had raised the rate to $1.30 between New York and the historic old settlement. Several resi- dents who had been thinking of com ing to New York later in the season grabbed a paper collar and a hand kerchief and boarded a train at once, saying they wished to get the chance before it became necessary to mort gage their business.
 ssHe may raise it again at any time," said George Washington Gil- bert, who came into town by hand from his mountain home. "This is two raises in three weeks. If he raises it three times, won't that be great? ?"
 It was reported yesterday that be- fore deciding upon the second tn- crease President Mellen had motored through the village and inquired the fare to New York.
 'Too little" he is reported to have said. Anybody ought to be willing to pay at least a dollar and thirty cents to get away from here"
 Still the Optimists' club of Ridge field, says there is no coat without a silver lining. and think the extra money raised on the passenger traffic may be used to give the town Sunday trains.

PUBLIC UTILITIES
 BILL DISCUSSED
Representative Chandle r
 Says State Business Men k Are Not Using Coercion

Stafford Springs, July 3o.-Repre- tentative George B.Chandler of Rocky Hfll spoke to the local Business Mems association on the public utilities bill, and In the course of his address gave approval to the campaign of education Wnicn the State Business Mems as- soc1ation is carrying on.
 Tt is difficult" said he, "to take seriously the claim that, in asking candidates for public office to state in advance their views on the largest question now pending before the peo- pie of the state of Connecticut. the State Business Mems association is exercising coerclon Nobody is be- ing coerced. This is representa- tive government. Men who hold pub 'he oIrice are the agents or represen- tatives of the public. There is no impertinence in asking an aspirant for office to express his views, if he has any. The very fact that such a simple and natural request is viewed in some quarters with surprise and a show of resentment reveals how far we have drifted away from the old representative notion of responsibility.
 MT. Chandler called attention to the fact that the form of question sent out by the Business Mems associa- tion puts straitJacket on nobody. It is courteous in form and gives the widest possible latitude to candidates. It presents to the candidate a tenta- tive bill; it asks the candidate if he can support 1t; and. if he cannot sup port it, it asks him what portions of it he can support, or what modified tions he would suggest. It assumes that the candidate is an intelligent, thinking man with ideas of his own.
 Ever since have been old enough to observe politics." continued the speaker, have noticed that those who are in politics. when reproached for their real or alleged 1nfidelitye to the public interest, invariably reply that the public Is indifferent. They complain that the people'-which is a sort of generfe term to describe ev- erybody who is outside of politics take no interest in public questions. They won't. even come out to the primaries. This is said, too, in a tone of lamentation, and there is some truth in 1t. But here we have powerful business organization cov- ering the entire state, composed or uals and firms who have achieved Q competency in life and are a part or the bone and sinew of the common. wealth. They are organized-weli organized: and through their organ ization they are making an honest and praiseworthy attempt 10 marsnsl nh and apply public sentiment. In otn- CT words, they are doing the very thing whose absence has been so per- sistently bewailed. They have em- ployed an able attorney of high per. sonal character and unQuestloneo standing. They are giving of ther funds to carry on this propaganda To my mind the movement represents one of the most hopeful tendencies or the times"
 The speaker then took. up the dis cussion of the bill and threw the SUD- ject open to questions. a large number of which were asked and answered..

WHITTEMORE
 MEMORIAL
Will Take Form of Bridge
 Over Naugatuck River

Naugatuck, July 30LThe idea of the John H. Whittemore memorial com- mittee to build a bridge oyer the Nau- gatuck river at Maple street meets with hearty approval All agree that such a memorial would be appropriate to the memory of a public spirited cit izen such as John H. Whittemore was. The old bridge has almost outlived it's usefulness, being in poor condition for heavy traffic such as continually passes over this central point. If the memorial takes the form of a bridge, lit is hoped that a wider structure than the present one will be provided. The fact that a trolley line to the western side of the town is a possibility should be taken into consideration. and it doubtless will be. The enthusiastic manner in which the public is taking hold of the suggestion makes the bridge look like an assured fact,

Pullman High School Football Team
Plays First Game, with Colfax, Oct.

At ColfaX last Saturday the exec
utive committee of the Whitman Co.
High School Athletic Association ar
ranged the schedule for the high
school football teams of the county.
The Pullman team is unfortunate in
having to meet the strongest teams
in the county first and because of
this Coach Putnam is putting the
team through some strenuous practice
every evening. The prospects of a win
ming team at the high school are good
although not bright enough to make
the players over-confident. Nearly
two teams are out each evening and
practically all of last years team
is back. Cecil Cave, captain of last
years team at the state college. is
acting as assistant coach during the
first part of the season, and under
the coaching of two of the best ath-

the local team should develop into a
strong aggregation. The schedule of
the Pullman team is as follows:
Oct. Pullman VS.. Colfax; Oct.
S-Pullman vs.. Garfield; Oct. 10
Pullman VS.. Palouse; Oct. 22-Pull-
man VS.. Rosalia; October 29-Pull-
man VS.. Tekoa; Nov. pullman VS..
Oakesdale.
Where the games will be played
has not yet been settled, excepting in
the case of the Colfax game on oct.
LIST, which will be played in Pullman
This years team will be heavier than
that of last year and will have the
advantage of more practice and more
thorough coaching. The Colfax school
is Boosting of the best team in its
history and the game should be close
and interesting.
