steadily year after year and more and
more people plan to make Danbury
Fair Week their vacation time. And
what a good time they do have!
This year the grounds have been
greatly improved, the Midway made
more of q Midway than ever before,

year, has already out-grown it's ca
pacity and large tent will be erected
for power vehicles for commercial
purposes, the pleasure cars filling the
automobile building proper to the
limit. Every prominent make of car
will be on display. It will be the
best show of autos ever made at
fair in New England. The auto races
Saturday will be five in number and
have attracted entries from some of
the best drivers, and as these entries
will not close until Monday there will
surely be q large number of contes-s
tants in each event.
The Grange. Fruit, Corn, Cattle.
Horse. Poultry and other shows con-
nected with this great fair have filled
to capacity in all classes. and the ag
ricultura1 machinery display will be a
wonderful sight, with its thousands of
humming wheels.
Colts band II Hartford, and the
American band Of Waterbury will
keep the air melodious, with the more
or less welcome assistance of the diff
ferent noice makers and near-bands
that help keep things lively along the
Midway.
There are more than one hundred
and fifty entries in the trotting anu
pacing events and there will be many
an exciting finish, as all the classes
are crow ID with entries The horse
races start Tuesday, and continue
Wednesday, Thursday and Friday.
A reliable aviator is under contract
to fly, King and Queen, the diving
horses, play a return engagement, the
Orloff troupe of Russian acrobats will
thrill the grand stand patrons with
aerial feats,4 Starrett's Circus, fresh
from Luna Park, Coney Island, will
give a performance of ten acts each
afternoon, and seven other attractions
u HioTe lIrdH usual importance, VIII
keep the patrons of the grand stand
busy trying to take it all in.
All methods of transportation will
be used to reach the grounds excur-
sions by train and sightseeing autos,
teams, bicycles, and people on foot

all classes of society, and provides
something to- instruct and amuse ev-
erybody. The gates open next Tues
day and not a dull moment in Dan
bury until Saturday night.

SPINAL MENINGITIS DURABLE.
That VIII Save Life From This
Dread Disease.

Let US take one of the bsst-known
examples of the Rockefeller Institutes
work, DIR. Flexner's investigation Of
epidemic spinal meningitis, and his
discovery of an antfserum for its
cure writes Walter Prichard Eaton
in Munsey's for October. That dis
covery alone has already saved, az
the figures show, hundreds of human
lives, and will go on saving thousands
more. 1t was the result of long, pa
tient, careful experiment with ami
mails, chiefly monkeys, in the iabora-
tory,
perhaps two hundred animals were
sacrificed in all. Without such sac
rifce the discovery could not have
been made. Unless You consider, then,
a monkeys life as valuable az that
of your son or daughter, IT il hard
to see how you can argue against vivi
section and animal experimentation.
1.-The mortality was as high as
eighty per cent. before DIR. F1exnerss
discovery 1t was truly deadly NAL
ady, and still remains 80 unless dag
nosis is prompt and the antiserum In
lection made early"

+ Washington, Sept 29-One of the
New, York financial papers which has
the interest of wall street very much
at heart, printed a statement follow
ing the recent disturbance in the
steel market to the effect that the
furry caused a decline in steel shares
of approximately one hundred million
dollars
In the three days of the furry near
ly one third of the trusts $500, 1000, 600
Of common stock was sold on the
the price was carried to new low
levels, thus showing that the one
hundred millions in decline represent
the amount of money it is worth to
the trust to be considered immune
from the operation of the Sherman
law.
Nothing has happened to indicate
that anything is wrong with the In
trinsic value of the steel properties.
The rfllls are working as usual, and
are in exactly the same state of ef-
ficiency they were in two years ago
when the stock was selling at it's high
water mark. The shrinkage came
because of rumors that the trust was
to be prosecuted, and as the business
the real business-of the trust was
not injured in any way, the one hun
dred millions simply represents the
excess profits the trust stood to lose
in the event of dissolution under the
application of the Sherman law. In
other words the shrinkage serves as
a measure of the value to the trust
of a license to violate the law. When
that license was threatened the trusts
shares fell Immediately, and this fall
in prices, simply as the result of a
score, is pretty sure to be used by
the Democrats as an argument for
making securities keep down to their
real value through an enforcement of
the antitrust law.
Commenting on the fall of steel
prices, Chairman Stanley, of the House
committee which just now is investi-
eating the steel trust, said that moth
ing could better demonstrate the ne
cessity of enforcing the antitrust
law
at is obvious" Mr.. Stanley said,
chat the reason steel stocks fell a
hundred million dollars is because the
trust was operating under an assump-
ton of immunity from prosecution
under the antitrust act. The in
slant that immunity was threatened,
the stocks fell The very insecurity
of the basis on which the trust rests,
as thus shown, is sufficient reason for
an application of the law that will
compel the steel millionaires to put
foundation. Otherwise their stock
holders will always be apprehensive,
and their methods open to suspicion"

Ancient order Of Hibernians.

The officers of the three local
divisions of the Ancient Order of
Hibernians met last evening and
made arrangements to receive the
Hon. George H. Sheehan of Boston,
Mass, who is to lecture here at an
open meeting to be held by the A..
O. H. and the Ladies Auxiliary to
the A. O. H., on Sunday evening, Oct.
9Th. at Eagles hall. This is to be
the first of a series of such enjoyable
events to be held by the local organ
ization preparatory to the grand
state parade and convention in this
city in 1912.
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1911-09-29

That it was this fear of losing its
license to violate the law which
caused the steel trust to surfer is in
Dictated by the fact that the break
in stocks applied to no other securi-
ties. Nor was there any indication
of a. lessening of the demand for the
products of the trust. Market condi-
lions remained normal, the stocks of
some of the railroads increasing.
The "steel furry was proof positive
that the shrinkage in stocks, under
the conditions named, reveals that the
steel trusts license to ignore the law
is worth a hundred million dollars to
the trust.
