MELLEN'S TRAIN
 CRAWLS IN OVER
 TWO HOURS LATE

{ Pittsheld, Mass, July 14-Lenox cottagers had bad attack of nerves Saturday night, caused by the delay of the Millionaire's Express, which leaves New York over the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad early Saturday afternoon, carrying week end house parties into the Berkshire resorts. President Charles s. Mellen was aboard the train.
 Some one had harnessed to the gilt edged train an engine which refused to make steam enroute and there was a delay of from ten to fifteen minutes along the Housatonic river while the engineer got up sufficient steam to pull the train into the next station, where the steam making process was repeated When the train reached Great Harrington the engine was re- moved and a freight engine substitut- ed, which hauled the train into this city nearly two and half hours late.
 From PJitts1e1d to Canaan, Conn.,, the stations were filled with hosts and hostesses with worried faces. Presi- dent Mellen left the train at Stock bridge.

ANNUAL REVIEW
 OF FRENCH TROOPS BY PRES. POINCARE

Paris, July 1.-The presence of de- tachments of native regiments from the French colonies in Africa, Tong King, Annam and Madagascar lent unwonted- interest today to the annual review at Long Champ of the garrt- son of Paris by the President of the Republic, on the occasion of the an- niversary of the taking of the Bastile in I789.
 President Poincare was greeted on his arrival on the immense race track by one of the largest crowds that ever attended the military spectacle.
 After the presentation to the PTest- dent of the coIors of the forty regf- meats on parade and the inspection of their escorts, all the troops march ed past.
 The native detachments were given the place of honorl.1t the head of the column and received a tremendous ovation.
 Another. feature of the review which made great hit with the onlookers was a detachment of military arnbu- lance dogs, who marched past in per feet crder.
 During the review five army aero planes darted here and there over the heads of the troops and a military dirigible circled and maneuvered round the race track.

LOVING CUP FOR
 U. s. CRUISER FROM JAP GOVERNMENT

Washington. July 14-While dipIo- matic Washington is conjecturing over the voluminous correspondence between the United States and Japan, the coun- tries, alternately extending courtesies to each other, are keeping the curious one completely in the dark as to the real situation regarding the California controversy.
 During the past few weeks, the Uni- ted States has officially welcomed a dozen or more eminent Japanese visi- tors, some of whom even were here to sound public opinion as to the anti alien legislation which caused the stir. Now the Japanese government has presented to the United States Cruiser Charleston a silver loving cup.
 In August, 1910, there was a flood in Tokio and the officers and men of the Charleston and the cruisers South Dakota and New Orleans that were in the vicinity raised a fund which was sent ashore for the relief Of the sufferers. The incident was forgotten until Ambassador Chinda sent the cup to the State department with request that it be forwarded to the Charleston

STAMFORD DRUG STORES

Especial to me Farmer,

Stratford, July 14-If the druggists of Stratford and the proprietors Of the ice cream parlors could have their way a cornerstone would be laid in the town every day of the year. Nev- CT since the time the Red Men had their field day and parade in the town did the thirst enporiums in the Center do such a rushing business. AS fast as one group of customers was served another group was ready to sit down and the soda dispensers were kept on the jump every minute from 2 o'clock in the afternoon until long af- ter 6.
 There were number of peanut ven- ders. popcorn men and other refresh- ment sellers at Hard's corner where the parade formed and they also did 3. fine business Taken a1I-in-au 1t was a great day for the old town yee- terday as a result of the cornerstone laying of the new St. James church.
 STORES WILL NOT CLOSE
 Following the example of the Bridge port merchants who have agreed to give their clerks shorter hours during the summer months, Newton J. Reed, the local market ~an, announced a few days ago that he y> ould give his clerks Wednesday afternoons off during the summer.
 It was understood that the other merchants in the Center would agree to give their clerks the half day off also but Herbert L. Bartram of the firm of Plumb and Bartran says that this Is not the case.
 In speaking to- Farmer reporter about the matter MT. Bartram said:
 The report that all the grocery stores are going to close on wednes- day afternoons during the summer, is not correct. George F. Jewell, Louis Bierce and Plumb and Bartram will continue to do business Wednesday af- ternoons and, if Mir Reed choses to close on that day, that is his own con- cern- Of course by closing on Wednes- day afternoons all the clerks employed at the stores would get their half day off on the same afternoon but if we closed we would lose half days trade which we consider unnecessary under the circumstances.

July Days are Special Economy days.
 It will pay you handsomely to read the advertisements in The Farmer, for this is the month, when merchants ad- just their stocks by clearing out small and odd lots, things that have not sold fast enough. The accumulations Nre inevitable in the best stores.
 All right for you, but not for the merchant who must keep his stocks trim within certain merchandising g limits.
 Prices generally drop during these tiuoes.
 Consequently you will find it wise to run through the advertisements from tiJrs to time, for they will enable you to buy many things at prices very much lower than those usually asked for the same styles or qualities.
 Things for every member of the fam fly, for all sections of the home and f.5r the table are now uppermost among the advertising features.
