FAIRFIELD
Especial to The Farmer.)

Fairfield, Oct. 27-Warren R.
Briggs, an architect of Bridgeport,
has brought suit against the town of
Fairfield for $4,000. The suit grows
out of a bill for $1,000 which, Mr..
Briggs stated, is for work that has
been done for the town by him. The
selectmen have refused to pay the bill
and the matter has been turned over
to the town attorney, E. S. Banks. 1t
appears that Mr.. Briggs drew up plans
for O. new school to be built in the
center of the town about a year ago.
There were several sets of plans made
at the time and none proved satisfac-
tory. A meeting of the school board
at that time was called and it was
decided to let S. H. Wheeler to erect
a IL room school building. The bill
of Mr.. Briggs was never paid. The
suit will be heard in the next term of
the superior court. Chamberlain and

vidual forest problems with the State
Forester.
In the evening of October 10th, the
meeting will be held at the school house.
There will be an illustrated lecture by
State Forester Halves on Forestry
Practice in Vermont and talk by his
Assistant, Mr.. b. A. Chandler on Making
the Woodlot Pay Better, Opportunity
will be given for free discussion.
The following forenoon the conference
will be continued in the woods (place to
be announced at time of evening meet
ing). The foresters will take up local
forest problems, and will explain the best
methods of planting forest trees, thinning
out young woodlots, and harvesting
nature timber. Timber estimates will
also be considered. If time allows the
foresters will mark the trees which should
be cut in the woodlot for the greatest
profit. In other words, this Conference
is brief forest school, which is open to
all without charge.
In other parts of the state owners Of
woodlots are taking advantage of the work
of the foresters, and both MIR. Halves and
Mr.. Chandler go more often than IN years
past to consult with owners among their
own trees. 1t must be remembered that
this State Forest Service is for everybody,
and it is the hope of the Foresters that
they may yet show the boys of Vermont
well managed woodlands in every farm
locality, that are increasing in value,
coming up rather than going down OF
being cut off recklessiy. In a land where
woOdlots and farm fields are gaining in
value there is more to interest young
people in owning or managing land. The
word that the Foresters are passing along
to US is More revenue from our lands.

Claims that President Wilson barred
the inaugural ball because he believed
1t a source of graft are denied strongly
at the White House today.

from Mrs. Joseph Wilson Howe, now in

her. in which graft was assigned as the
Presidents reason for putting the ban
On the ball. ...
There Is no basis for such a story.
This was declared positively at the
White House today. The President s
only reason was the one which he gave
to the inaugural committee in a letter
which declared against the expense and
ostentation Of a public BALL
The statement from the White House
today has pleased the members Of the
inaugural committee, inasmuch as sew

legged interview of Mrs. Howe reflected
on the integrity Of the committee.
Members of the Wilson family and the
President himself were worked I'D to-

they did not believe Mrs. Howe had
given such An interview. Later news
from Paris, where Mrs. Howe is, show

that she had not misrepresented the
