SUfFtA3E-PR0 AND CON
Pro-,

The annual convention of the Con- necticut Woman Suffrage Association will be held this year in Hartford on the 22 and 23 of this month. The dele gates will assemble in the city at noon on Thursday the 22 and the first session will open in Unity Hall at twelve o'clock. This will be short session for the appointment of committees, in order that work may begin promptly in the afternoon. Lunch will be served to the delegates in Lower Unity Hall, and at two o'clock prompt the real business of the convention will begin. At half past six it is planned to have a dinner at the Hotel Bond, at which representatives of the political parties which have embodied a suffrage plank in their party platforms will be asked to address the delegates.
 On Thursday evening October 22, if is planned to hold a great mass meet ing in favor of peace in Parsons Theater. It is hoped to make this meeting a general protest of the women of Connecticut against war and all its terrible waste and destruction of Slife and homes. Eminent men will be in- vited to address this meeting, the pro- ceeds from which will be devoted to Red Cross work.
 The election of officers for the ensu- ing year will take place on Friday morning and also the general policy of the O. W. $. A. will be discussed and decided upon. All reports are to, be given on Thursday afternoon. When it is recalled that besides the officers of the Association who will have to report on the work done generally in the state, there are some seventy five leagues organized for suffrage whose presidents of secretaries will report, it is clear that all reports will have to be strictly limited as to length in order that the convention may dispose of all the business that will come before it in the two days sessions.

For Soldiers Relief.

An international movement for the relief of the distressed wives, children and other relatives and dependents of soldiers involved in the World War has been organized and is conducting a campaign for funds with which to carry on the Mercy Work. The effort is be- ing made by the Committee of Mercy which has its headquarters at No. 336, Fifth Ave. Bldg, New York.
 The President of the organization is the Hon. Elihu Root, U. s. Senator from New York. Its treasurer, is August Belmont, to whom contributions may be forwarded. The plan has the endorsement of President Woodrow Wilson, who, consistent with his attitude of neutrality, recognized the necessity for a movement to relieve the non-combatants of all nations involved in the struggle.
 The field of the Red Cross is to min- ister to the sick and wounded soldiers.

The Cornwall Fair.

Early Friday morning workers gathered at Cornwall Grange. Hall and very soon people began to bring ex- hibits. Various committees were kept busy arranging articles, but many hands make light work and at the time appointed the judges were able to carry out their part and award the various premiums.
 The flower exhibit filled table the full length of the platform on the west side of the hall: on the north side and partly on the east side was arranged the needle-work exhibit; next to that the cooks showed some of their skill, while near at hand was their exhibit of food prepared for winter; between the doors was shown very fine homemade candy.
 In onei ante-room was shown the work of the children; among them be- ing cooked food, sewing vegetables and school work. In the other ante-room dinner tickets were sold. Down stairs three long tables were set to seat seventy two. On the stage was table from which pies were served and in front of the kitchen door large table made a fine place from which the walters could get their various helpings and deliver their piles of dirty dishes thus giving those in the kitchen more room for their work. The tables were finely set with better ware than is found in many restaurants.
 Dinner consisted of chicken-pie sweet potatoes, scalloped potatoes, rolls and butter, pickles and jelly, salads, pie and coffee. The walters were . dressed in white caps and aprons. AL together an excellent dinner, excel lently served.
 In the long shed back of the barn were shown fruit, vegetables and poul- try while between the shed and the road were the cattle. Across the road from the hall the people in charge of the ice cream tent did thriving business. In the lot were the mares and colts. The

Fatal Auto Accident.

Lamb died a few hours later. His chest was crushed in and he suffered from internal injuries. Mrs. Lamb was unable to give any in formation. She will probably recover.

Price of Coal.

The price of hard coal will probably remain where it is at present, at least for month, when the jump might. be forthcoming, and if there is to be any $S coal this year, it will not come un. til early in the winter season. This is the statement made by one of the local coal dealers. Another said that there was no apparent reason for a raise in coal prices this winter, and if the price of hard chestnut coal reached the $S mark, he would be surprised. Hart ford Courant.

GOOD OLD NEWS
Cleaned from the Housatonic Republl-
 can of 55 Years Ago.

Cleaned from the Housatonic Republi-
 can of 55 Years Ago.
 The Falls Village "Housatonic Re- pulican," dated July l6, 1859, had little in the way of local news, but contained number of county and neighoring items
 Referring to the Lakeville Brass Band, which played at the Falls Village Fourth of July celebration, the paper said:
 For young Band, so recently organized, they certainly reflect credit upon the enterprising citizens of Lake vile, who have encouraged them in their formation, and give them theii support, and it seems to be the univer- sal opinion that their performances amply reward the exertions and over sight of their excellent leader, Mir. Benjamin. We give them this notice, all the more cheerfully. as we have aforetime indulged in some spirit of jocoseness at their performances, and us we ourselves hope ere long to well come the formation of a Band in our own village"
 In another item the significance of the last sentence in the above was made plain:
 "We understand movement is com. mencing among some of our towns people to organize a new Brass Band in this village. 1t is we'll known that the Band formerly located here, was only disbanded on account of the re. moval of some of the prominent mem- bers to other localities Several enter prising gentlemen have, we learn, again expressed wish to contribute to the purchase of instruments for the re. establishment of Band here-and we shall be willing and happy to give it all the 'trumpeting' in our power. |"
 The familiar old county seat contro- versy was live issue in those days. Referring to Winsted building boom, involving the construction of the thew Hotel" and the Hurlbut Bank, the Re- publican said, "We are glad to see these evidences of present occupation for the Winsted carpenters &Sc.--as it may be some time before they will be called upon to build that Court House"
 Here's an allusion to cheap trans pOrtaLlon or speclal interest at this particular time, when mileage books are going up:
 "The fare from Winsted to Burlington by Higgins stage and the Housatonio Rail Road, is reduced to f9rty.five cents, every other day. The fare by Carter's stage through New Marlboro, is the same, the two lines running in opposition. Cheap enough for nearly thrifty miles travel" .#
 A Litchfield item said: IF. ID. Bee- man, Esq, has been re-appointed clerk of the Litchfield Go. courts, and Charles Adams, Esq, of the Enquirer, assistant. !"
 A legislative item of general state interest:
 "Hon o. s. Ferry has gone to the Thousand, Islands on a fishing excur- sion, in company with three other citizens of Norwalk. Byington, of the Gazette, would have been of the party but for the famine engendered in the editorial mansion by seven weeks sojourn in Hartford on short pay..''

Col. Mcclure a Nutmegger.

Another man of nationwide literary fame is to become a resident of Con- necticut, Col. s. s. Mcclure of New York, having purchased of D. N. Clark a fine farm on the Housatonic river, in the town of Bridgewater. Col. Mo- Clure is the founder of McClure's Magazine. The farm, which has a mile frontage on the river, is one of the most desirable in that section. It con- tains commodious buildings and is con- pletely stocked.

OldLady Now a Voter.

Great was the enthusiasm of Mrs. Wilhelmina Buttner, of Pennington, aged 84 years, Sunday when she told friends of her visit to the town clerk E office Saturday and of her taking the electors oath. Mrs. Buttner does not think she is toe old to take an active interest in the affairs of the town, and is supremely happy in the fact that she is now a voter. Incidentally, it is re- ported that as many as hundred other women of the town are said to have be- come voters, too.

Mules work like the deuce for a hand ful of oats, But mules haven't brains and mules haven't votes. The worker has votes and the worker has brains And doesn't use either-just kicks and complains. So it's hard to make out as a general rule Where the worker has much on a stupid old mule.

off the top and spr'nkl:ng the
root with salt as is done in the
case of the dandelion. the indy

moved by pulling up by the
root after a heavy rain when
the ground is wet. The plan
tain does not offer a difficult
problem as the roots are pulled
iup readily, even from clay soil,
