NORTH STONINGTON FAIR
 WILL GET ITS MONEY Legislators Appear Favorable to Max ing the Appropriation.

C. P. Kendall of North Stonington, secretary of the North Stonington Grange Fair association, appeared again on Wednesday afternoon at Hartford to press the claim of his or ganization for the S200 which it did not get from the state last year be- cause he neglected to send to Secre- tary HeaIey of the state board of az filled out, The fact was he never re- ceived the blank, due doubtless to some irregularity of the mails. and there was nothing to call his attention to the omission.
 Late in the fall it came to him that some notice was due somebody in or der that his fair association might share in the state appropriation for fairs which live up to the state law, and he communicated with MT. Healey who at once wrote him that the fair he was connected with was in every way entitled to this grant, but that the he had made up his list and sub nlitted it to the state comptroller, and would therefore be shut out from par ticipating.
 Representative Maine of North Stonington is an officer in the grange fair association and he made it his business to try to get this appropria- tion from the present legislature, in troducing bill providing for the pay ment of s2O0 to it's treasurer on this
 
 said to the committee before about the matter, but the formal hearing on it came when Mr. Kendall told the facts yesterday afternoon.
 He said that the fair association had been organized and giving fairs three years and had paid in premiums the first year $500, the second year $500 and last year s1,00o. It permitted no liquor to be sold on it's grounds, no gambling and conducted no horse rac- ing. therefore coming entirely within the limitations of the statute. He apologiZed for his neglect in not sub- hitting the blank with it's informa ton, but assured the committee that as a teacher his time was fully occupied. The officers of the association and the association itself had given time and effort and money to the top of it's ability to make this fair success and felt that it had been, and it seem ed unfair that they should be shut out of the state grant by circum- stances not altogether within their control.
 The committee seems favorable to the bill, but House Chairman Magee inquired if this matter wouldn't be covered by a bill permitting the comp troller to pay several back claims against the state which had been barred by some technicality. Deputy Comptroller Bissen came into the room soon after and it was his opinion that this was the case. If it is found not to be, the committee will doubt less report the bill favorably-,

How American Women
 May Keep Faces Young

The American smart woman ages early, far earlier than the English woman says Christian Miller. F. c. l., the famous English hea- expert She adds that our climate 50 exhilarates that you over-exert yourselves and same exhilarating air dries the skin The skin that lacks moisture grows pale and wfthered looking and soon forms wrinkles.
 The American complexion is best treated by applying, pure. merco1ized cuticle to flake off in minute particles a little each day. until the fresh, young skin beneath is wholly in evidence Every druggist has this wax one ounce is sufficient. Spread on at night like. cold cream, washing 1t off next morning.
 For wrinkles, dissolve an ounce of powdered saxolite in a half pint witch hazel; bathe the face in this Inamedi- ately every wrinkle is affected. even the deeper lines. Both treatments are remarkable facial rejuvenators.

Key. 6. 6. ScrIvaner An Able Pastor
New Norwich District Superintendent Had Successful Pastor ~ ate in Attleboro Church-Appontment to This District - Was Surprise But Promotion Well Deserved

He was admitted to the New Eng land Southern conference in l9ue ana was appointed to Howard church. New Bedford. for three years and then Tor three years to Cotuit, Mass.
 He then served five years at First church, East Weymouth and in 1911 was transferred to Attleboro. His pas torate in Attleboro has been most sue cessful: the church has been enlarged and repaired and the debt has been paid off MT ScriNener has wife and a 13-year-old daughter, Ruth.
 Rev. Mir. Scrivener's promotion re- suits from the retirement of Rev. John H. Newland who has completed his term of six years at Norwich and who now has been assigned to Fall River. Ministers of the Norwich district on Saturday had g. meeting to give eN- pression of preference for superin- tendent.
 First choice went to Rev. C. Harley Smith and second choice went to Rev. R. s. Moore, the new Attleboro pas tor A long list of names was Sug- gested for the vacancy including Revc- Dr. J. F. Cooper of Brockton, Rev. W. J. Yates Of Fall River, Rev. L. M. Flocken of .WI1iimantic and Rev. L. H. Horton of Stafford Springs.
 District Created in 1869.
 The Norwich district is the smallest in the conference. It was created in 1869 when the conference was set off into five districts Rev. Charles Mason was the first presiding elder. Nor wich has been most prosperous in the past few years and, in spite of it's size, has arrived in second place in most church enterprises. The report read last Thursday to the conference was most gratifying
 During the past year IT have been removed by certificate to- other fields, but 122 have Joined by certificate. 19o from probation. and 305 on probation. In the last five years the growth has been 440 full members.
 All the ministers in the district con- graduated MT. Scrivener on his ap pointment and it is predicted that he will be highly successful in his new field of labors.
 A Deserved Promotion.
 Editorial1y the, Attleboro paper said:
 The transfer of Rev. G. G. Scrivener to be the Norwich district superin- tendent is greeted with mixed feelings of joy and regret. It is a promotion we'll earned by success due to zeal and ability, but it is a sad loss to the church which valued him so highly and which has made such progress under his direction In a larger sense, it is a distinct loss also to the town, for MT. Scrivener, devoted as he was to his people and centering ali his eff forts in the church, was 8 valuable asset to the community and it's good works. He will carry with him as he begins his new duties the best wishes of all, within and outside his church, for he has become known and appre- ciated.

Rev. G. G. Scrivener of Attleboro, Mass. the newly appointed district su- perintendent for the Norwich district, of the New England Southern confer ence Of Methodist Episcopal churches, breaches his farewell sermon in At tleboro tomorrow and will leave during next week for this city. Rev. Mir. Scrivener was given a farewell re- ceptfon at the Attleboro church last Tuesday evening.
 Of his appointment as Norwich dis trict superintendent the Attleboro sun says:
 One of the most unexpected assign ments at the New England Southern conference in New Bedford Monday was the appointment of Rev. George G. ScriEener as the Norwich district superintendent MT. Scrivener has been pastor of the local Methodist church for the past two years. and has been most successful in his work
 Not only was the assignment a sur prise to the members of the confer ence. but to MT. Scrivsner himself, for he. had not been approached on the matter and the first intimation that he had of his promotion was when the bishop read his name as the new district superintendent. The news was telephoned at once to Attleboro. and for a time it was thought that a storm of protest would be lodged with the bishop, but it is hardly possible that this will be done. as MT. Scrivener has received a we'll earned promotion. and
 
 is. one of the strongest men in the conference.
 Built Up the Church.
 Since coming to AttIeboro. MT. SeriFener has built up the church ma- ]. terially The membership has in- creased the enrolment of the Sun day school has increased the young peoples societies have grown, and the congregations have almost doubled. < forceful speaker, a. tireless worker. and a man of unusual executive ability, ! MT. Scrivener in his two short years in town has recorded himself as one of the most able pastors that the local church ever had.
 The past winter the mortgage on the church was raised and was public 1y burned at a meeting last February, which was presided over by Bishop Hamilton. the same man who appoint ed MT. Scrivener to- the superinten- dency.
