MIDWAY ATTRACTIONS
Please Big Crowd At Moose Carnival.
 Modern Dances lnterpreted.

The Moose carnival continues to be the biggest affair of it's kind that Wiilimaptic has ever seen. Monday night crowds from all over the city and from ne;ghbering towns poured across the feotbridge and into the grounds. The illumination can be seen for miles as a light spot against the sky and there is something doing every minute. The dance pavilion was one of the csnters of attraction. The crowd was congested here from 8 o'clock until 11:se. A third exit was finally pro- vided and this relieved the condition materially.
 Many from the country sat in one place for several hours, in the vain hope of seeing something sensational in the exhibition dances by Jehnny Doonan and Miss Charlotte Stultz of New York. They were disappointed, however, and the artists interpretation bf the Argentine Tango was one of the most graceful dances ever witnessed in this city.
 The merry -go-round continued to draw a big crowd and people were al-

 Getting Ready to Head of Army
 Worm.
 An army of millions. enemies of all who live and labor, was threatening invasion of Windham county from the south Monday. Sweeping up from New London county, where they have wrought destruction upon crops al- most ready for the harvest, were score of years-the army worms A call for all who can find the time to do so to make ready to fight of the invaders was issued yesterday by farmers who fear the invaders and from leaders in grange work in this part of the state
 The Bulletins accounts of the dam- age wrought by the worms in towns to the south have stirred crop grow CTS in this section to a state of ap- prehension which is well grounded It seems almost a certainty that the worms will appear in Windham coun- ty towns within AS hours, and there were unauthenticated reports on Mon- day even that they had appeared iI the town of Plainfield. although this could not be verified from this place Faced with an almost certain visita- ton from the voracious worms the farmers here must get together, they realize, and make united fight against the pest at whatever point it may first make its appearance
 The idea of digging trenches around threatened fields has beer adopted as probably the most success. full that can be tried in protecting crops. According to government re- ports on the army worm and it's hab- it's of travel, millions of them might appear here over night. when othel l millions are no farther away thar Jewett City.
