Norwich bulletin., 1912-09-26

Grains, vegetables, preserves, cut flow CTS, bread, cake, pastry, honey, art nee- dlework, dairy products, etc, etc, all enter into their displays. A feature in the Canterbury grange section is a sizeable bull moose. manufactured of burdocks. and with a surprisingly silent and motionless rough rider astride it's back and not saying a word to anyone. notwithstanding some mighty progressive comments.
 Display of Norwich Firm.
 The Plaut-Cadden company of Nor- wieh is at the fair, showing pianos, playerpianos and talking machines to the crowds that never seem to tire of listening to the sweet toned instru- ments and to the sweet voiced Ade- lard Morin, who is in charge, with Ellsworth Burton as player demon strator. The Norwich firm gave away hundreds of pieces of sheet music as souvenirs.
 Women's Department.
 This department is as attractive as ever for the women who attend the fair, though a man is seldom seen looking at the beautiful display of the art of the needleworker, unless do- ing so under protest and in the agony of attempting to keep cigar smoke out of more appreciatiye eyes.
 Aside from the fixed and set dis plays there was much to interest on Wednesday. One could spend an in- teresting hour listening to the bark CTS, watching the demonstrations of gasoline engines and farm machinery, or observing the steer and oxen com- petition.

 Following the formal greeting, Att | torney William A. King of Williman- l tic, republican candidate for election i to congress from the Second district l of Connecticut. agreed to say few
 words. He was escorted into the crowded grandstand and introduced 1 by the secretary of the fair associa- | tion, J. B. Stetson of Brooklyn. Following the formal greeting Att l torney King said Not single word about politics. Not word about
 farming. What I know about farm I ing cost me lot of money and I
 won't tell about 1t free of charge. i (Mr. King bought & farm onee). I I came over here for an outing today l and I am having splendid time. l hope to continue to have a splendid l time until November, at least. am ! getting acquainted and am enjoying 1 myself thoroughly,
 l T find evidence all about me to in- dicate why Connecticut has become 1 known for its thrift, and the point of
 this is well illustrated by the little story of the Connecticut man who was bearing the fact in on Virgin 1 ian whom he met Meaning thrift, i you go a little beyond that, do you
 not%' inquired the Virginian, with ref erence to the manufacture of wooden
 nutmegs. Yes said the Connecticut
 man, we make them in Connecticut and sell them in Virginia | MT. King paid his compliments to l the many ladies in the stand, getting
 their good will, smiles and applause,
 when he told one or two clever little l stories concerning the sex and men
 tioned that he had recently read 8
 book entitled How to Be Happy Though Married" declaring that the
 book was no good.
 1 But, in all sincerity" said Attorney King. deep in severy New England
 heart is the love of home-that love 1 that makes the poorest cottage the palace of the king; makes New Eng
 land great as it really is."
 The speakers reference to Gen. Is-
 rael Putnam, whose monument on the green at Brooklyn recalled to MT. 1 Kings lips the best known sayings 1 of the famous patriot, brought ap-
 plause from his auditors, who seemed very anxious for him to continue his 1 pleasing oratory. But MT. King said:
 T ought to stop before I say toe I much. am reminded of the story oi 1 the young man who was out driving
 with his sweetheart. Will you marry
 me, Hulda?' he said. And like girls
 sometimes do, Hulda said Yes TheI they drove on for two or three miles | in silence. Aren't you going to sa. any moreT asked Hiida, after wha
 seemed very long time. I guess better not replied the swain, I ma! h fA1 /, : l A storm of applause and laughter
 was brought forth by the little story
 but though the crowd was anxious fol
 more. MT, King bowed his way out O
 the stand and resumed his pleasan
 occupation of greeting and being
 greeted as he strolled about tn,
 grounds. He left the impression tha
 he is making a mighty strong cam
 paigner and that he is certain to rol
 up a heavy vote in this eounty-hi
 cordial receptions indicate that. The Races.
