FINED FOR FAST DRIVING.
Henry Jepsen, Who Lives North Of
Denison, Placed Under Arrest
for Fast Driving.

Henry Jepsen. farmer living just
north of Denison, was arrested one
day last week and tried before Mayor
Laub on charge OF fast driving, and
after all the evidence in the case had
been submitted, the mayor fined him
$500.
1t seems that on August oath, Mr..
Jepsen drove to Denison, to transact
some business and it was when he
started home that the authorities
thought he was driving his team too
fast and swore out a warrant for his
arrest, but as Mr.. Jepsen did not have
occasion to come to Denison until the
latter part of the week he was not ar
rested until then.

MI. Carl Laurschon. who has spent
several weeks in the Denison hospital
recovering from a broken leg, was so
far recovered as to return to his home
in Harlan last Friday. Mr. Laurschon
considers himself fortunate in so SER
ious an accident to have been under
the care of Denison surgeons and also
to have had such splendid care in our
hospital. The fracture was such that
a steel plate had to be used to hold
the boie in place and the recovery is
SO perfect that he will not even be
lame. We congratulate the young
man heartily.

MILK SURVEY
To Investigate New England Situation
First Meeting in Connecticut 10 be held
 in Putnam. August 10th

A meeting is to be held in Putnam, Wednesday, August 2eth, which is at tracting the attention Of farmers, es- pecially those farmers operating dai- ries and producing quantities of milk for market. The meeting is for the purpose of securing accurate informa- tion regarding the condition of this industry in New England
 At meeting at the Boston Cham Der of Commerce July list plan was agreed upon whereby the State Agen. cies, the Federal Department of Agri culture and the Boston Chamber of Commerce would cooperate in making a survey of the milk situation in New England under the auspices of the Boston Chamber of Commerce, the State Board of Agriculture, the Col. lege Extension Department and the State Grange. Following out this plan two meetings are to be held in this state, the first to be held in Put. nam on the above date in Odd Eel lows hall, furnished by the Putnam Grange.
 In order to inteliigently get at the situation it is apparent that the pro- ducers should be heard from and 1t is earnest desire of the promoters of these hearingsthat large number should at- tend and state frankly all of the facts possible relating to the matter from their viewpoint.
 The farmer claims, and no doubt with every justification, that at the present price received for milk he has hard work and sometimes finds 1t im- possible to make both ends meet. He gets from to cents quart for his product while the consumer is paying from to 10 cents. In addition to this the regulations as to Inspection and the care Of his dairy has become more stringent and the price :he pays for his feeds, labor, etc., has increased with. out an increase but rather a reduction in the price of milk.
 The matter has been discussed from time to, time but without result that has brought relief to the farmer. Any thing that may bring about better situation is of vital interest and there will doubtless be large attendance al the meeting. Circular letters are being sent to the farmers of the state over signatures representing the Boston Chamber of Commerce, the Connect cut State Board of Agriculture, the Connecticut Agricultural College Ex- tension Service and the Connecticut State Grange, urging the importance of the meetings and the importance of attendance.

GRANGE NOTES
SeueNet Grange

The mysteries that have yelled the plans of the Alphas and omegas dur ing the last ten weeks were fully dis closed to each other and to a large gathering of their friends last Wednes- day evening, Aug. l2. It was the oe- easion of the entertainment contest which this year took place between two equally divided groups arranged according to an alphabetical list Of their first names. The Alpha division presented minstrel comedy in the form of Grange picnic at Roseland park with the usual picnic events and some unusual dramatic incidents. Fol lowing time-honored custom of Woodstock, one of the chief features Of the picnic was the coming of Hon. William Howard Taft, impersonated by F. k. Rockwell. The performance was given on stage decorated with trees and eVergreens and carpeted with pine needles. The program giv- en by the Omega side opened with number of clever parodies sung by the Aesthetic chorus followed by an anus. ing Irish sketch we'll staged and well acted by five talented artists, Mrs. ], E. sheppard, Harry F. Wells, Her bert E. Nelson, Lewis Dutiey and Martin A. Nelson. During the inter mission Mrs. F. F. Rockwell sang "Wearing of the green.n Then came the concert by Susanis Kitchen Band and the Guilty Pipers. Although the judges decided in favor of the Alphas, all agreed that the Omegas deserved great credit for their productions. The judges were Randolph Chandler of Quinnatisset and Mrs. w. ], Bartlett Light refreshments were served by n joint committee from the two sides. The combined programs with slight changes will be repeated at Academy hall, Woodstock, Friday evening, Aug. 2l. There will be an auction sale of candy at the close of the entertain ment. The public is invited.
 Senexet, together with Woodstock Grange, has received a cordial invita- tion to visit Wolf Den on the night of the 26th and provide the program. Every member of Senexet who reads this notice Is urged to spread this inyi- talion and respond to It in large num- bers.
 All persons who wish to join the grange at the October limitations may submit their applications on or before Sept. ?. Application blanks will be furnished gladly by Secretary John E.. Clark, Woodstock, or they may be se- cured through any member of the grange.

Members of the Putnam fire depart ment are talking Of plans for an annual inspection. The merchants generously contributed money for their field day last Thursday and there is a balance left hich would go in part towards defraying expenses of an in- spection and muster.

NORWICH FAIR
President of Fair Visits $. D. Nicks
Sees Imported French Draft Horses

The psperhanging crew of the New London county fair hit this end of the county Tuesday. The auto was full of big pictures of the horses and the stock and the races and the hall and the big crowds expected to jam the grounds on Labor day and the two days following.
 Publicity Manager Hilliard Bruce, the Norwich newspaperman, was with the posters crew. He called on the newspapermen of the city to say that everything looked lovely for the Twentieth Century fair of the New London County Agricultural society, of which Charles D. Greenman, a bright little banker in Norwich, is the secretary and real ruler. Greenman hopes to take n run up this way the week before the fair, and his business booster, "Fordien Plant of the same city, will take motor trip all over the four eastern counties in a week, to in- terest several score of his personal friends in the special features of the fair.
 The aeroplane will go up twice . day, every day, and the sontract calls for flight on Sunday night-~the fair opens on Monday morning--over tho city, "Just as the church bells are ring ing,p MT. Bruce said ip telling how they hope to do 1t.
 "What kind of flyer have you got this timer" the society's press repre- sentative was asked.
 "We've got man that will fly, and we haven't got a busted machine thst'll land in Maplewood cemetery In the last flight, said Bruce, who last year helped Col. Plaut pull Knox Martin out of Trading Cove brook after the aviator had rolled from a cemetery lot into the water where there used, in the long ago, to be plenty of trout, real and imaginary, as old-time fishermen l AS far north as Woodstock will re- member. Martin patched up the Cur tiss biplane that had almost sealped him and took 1t to Pennsylvania and
 flew with it, "and I'm glad l wasn't on board, said Bruce, who was slated 1 to fly with Martin at Norwich but backed out when he saw the biplanc was in delicate condition, with two mechanics tinkefing on IL between flights.
 S. D. Wicks of Pomfret expects President Arthur D. Lathrop of the i New London County society in a day or two. The Norwich man, boss teamster, wants to see the French draft horses Mir. Wicks got the other day from iParis. They want them at Norwich fair this year. Mir. Wicks has not agreed as yet to send them down.
 The secretary of the exhibition hall, Charles w. Wiley of Norwich, has been in this city, Danielson, Moosup, Central Village and other Windham county places this month He will have a full house, or, more strictly, q full hall in september.

Motor Fire Apparatus Shows It's Worth

Tine following from the Hartford Courant is Of interest to Putnapi where a motor.driyen fire truck Is soon to be purchased;
 aThe value of speedy motor-driven fire apparatus and it's superiority over the slower horse apparatus was again demonstrated yesterday morning in a fire at No. 52 Capitol avenue. The fire started from an unknown origin on the second floor of the house and the flames mounted rapidly through the building to a blind attic. The house is one of a block of seven that adjoin and are covered by a common attic.
 Just as the first piece of auto appara- . tus reached the house, the fire had reached this attic and in another min- ute or two would probably have swept through the attic, as happened at the Union station fire, and might have gutted the whole block. AS 1t was, the ire was put out with chemical
 lines before line of hydrant hose had been laid and threatening fire was quenched with loss of probably not more than s8oo.n

special tribute should be paid today to the strong, sterling characteristics that belonged to the life of stephen Ballard True to his name, he was firm in do- ing that which he believed to be right.

Work has begun on repairing the amicite road bed on Elm street. A large gang of men went st it Friday morning and the breaking up of the road material Is a hard task. Only such places are worn will receive at- tention.
