SUNDAY PICNICS
Fairfield a Mecca For the Thirsty
 Denizens of the City
Special to The Farmer)

Special to The Farmer) Fairfield June 21-Just where the law comes in in regard to Sunday in diligence in the cup that cheers Is again brought up by the many picnics which take place within the limits of the town. Last Sunday a picnic held close to the Bridgeport line ran out of beer long before sundown and there was a scurrying about to supply the deficiency. Applicat ton was made to number of licensed liquor dealers in the vicinity and all of them refused to take chance and furnish a couple of kegs of beer. The licensed dealer who pays $500 per year for the privil- | ege of selling intoxicants is denied the privilege of furnishing these picnics with their liquid supplies which if bought the night before can be dis tributed with impuity on the Sabbath. While there is no disposition on the part of the licensed dealers in the town to curtail the right of any man to provide himself with internal lubri- cation on the seventh day, they can not be blamed for feeling that there is an unjust and unreasonable dis criminatiOn. Yesterday a SaloOnkeep- CT in the town said: If the use of li- quor is good six days in the week it
  want to keep my place open on Sun day for I think I am entitled to one days rest in the week after engaging in the most trying and nerve racking business on the face of the earth. But I don't think 1t is fair to those who pay for the privilege of selling to be denied privileges which others who ernment enjoy with the greatest free dom. I had rather go and see a good game of baseball on Sunday af- ternoon.''
