TO AID BELGIUM'S SUFFERING CHILDREN Prominent Local Women Inter est Themselves in Worthy
 Project.
tConn1nunicated.l

Thousands of helpless, poverty stricken wofnen and children come crowding into France from Belgium and the frontier towns,-they make ur- gent appeal for your help.
 Their men have all gone to war, their little farms are burned to ashes thing, some perhaps one or two chill dren, the strongest ones only were able to survive the suffering of the long journey and terror of bombardment.
 Three thousand little children, with out mothers or fathers, have been near Paris and many were found wan dering about the batt1edelds,. dazed and frightened and starved.
 Will you do your share to clothe and feed them? They look to America to- save them from famine and the cold of approaching winter. Besides all their own grief and loss, the French people are trying to care for all the Belgian refugees, in gratitude for the heroic, splendid defence of their sol diers in the northern fields of bat tie.
 It is our only excuse for living in peace and comfort if each day sees every one of us doing our duty to help those sufferers by donations large and small, by sewing and by passing along this message wide and far, so that every village may share in the greatest work that humanity has ever claimed from us. If every mother could give a dollar for every child she has, this would soon raise enough to buy the needed materials
 CLOTHING NEEDED
 New, warm flannel ,dresses-all sizes, for women and children, stockings, mittens, knitted caps and shawIs, blan- kets, warm coats for children, sweat CTS, muffIers, underc1othes, shoes As transportation is very slow these cases of clothing should be sent as soon as possible before the winter cold sets in it's cruel work.
 Contributions of money and mater ials may be sent to Mrs. A. H. Terry, A RrookIaWn1 place, telephone. 1905. and simple garments cut out and ready to be made may be called for at Miss Marion DeForest's 649 Clinton avenue, or Mrs. H. s. Wilmot's, 12o Coleman street.

MOVIES" TAKEN
 IN U. S. SENATE

Washington, Oct 10.-MevinG pic ture men made descent on the sSen~ ate chamber just before noon yesterday and had a dress rehearsal of the open ing of the Senate. It was not neces- sary to inpersonate any of the dtgni- taries who figure daily in the opening exercises of the Senate, for the Vice President, the chaplain, several sena- dors,3 the reading clerk and the pages all constderate1y posed for the scene.
 Vtce-President Marshall issued to the sergeant-at-arIns an order which lures of that body for the first time in it's history. The operators of the nov ing picture machine had four large lights which they arranged in the Senate chamber, and at a given. signal the Vice-President marched in from his room, followed by the chaplain and attended by the sergeant-at-arnas
 The Viee-President ascended to his desk, rapped for order in the usual way, directed the Senate chaplain to offer prayer, and that officer went through the ceremony Pf raising his hands clasped and apparently repeat ing an invocation.
 The pages were ranged around in sennicirc1e in front of the senators desks, facing the Vice-Presidentss fol- lowing the daily formula, and Sena- tors Lea, Chamberlain and a few oth- CT members sat at their desks and of Tered resolutions, which were received by the reading clerk.
 The moving picture men later took the Senate press gallery in action. Other scenes Of the various govern ment offices will be taken. and the pie lures will be used to illustrate a 1ec- ture on the government at Washing ton which a newspaper correspondent as preparing to deliver
 Pnr on this radical departure from Senate customs and traditions Time was. not many years ago, when photog- raphers were barred absolutely from the two houses of Congress and the few pictures of the legislative cham bers available were those which show ed empty seats.
 Later the rule was relaxed and it is now common to take photographs of the houses in session. Several pic lures of President Wilson in the act Of delivering his message to Congress have been made by photographers, but it is the first time that the nov ing picture men have been able to ob- tain pictures by the voluntary posing of the principal figures of either house of Congress.
 Secretary Bryan has posed for nov ing pictures and on one occasion halt ed a diplomatic reception-at the state department to make it possible for moving pictures to be taken of the secretary in the act. of receiving the diplomats.

CRl lCISM OF
 HOSPITAL BOARD
 BY OLD SOLDIER
Harry Payne of 2nd Conn.,, H. A. Asks Pertinent
 Questions.
TO the Editor of The Farmer;

TO the Editor of The Farmer:
 would like to ask The Farmer and the tax payers of Connecticut why the administration of laws passed to aid old soldiers is left in the hands Of a dozen smen called the Soldiers Hospital Board If under the law the veteran or veterans wife proves 8 right to state aid why not pay the aid drec12
 Administration of law made discre- tioraal with one man or party or men is a travesty on justice and kills the intent of the law All state add mat ters and the government of Fftch's soldiers Home at Noroton is in the hands of the Soldiers Hospital Board Of Connecticut. There are some things which the board might be asked to explain. If it was right to charge inmates of the home for board in 1912-13 why should they not be charged for board in 1914
 When complaint was made why was 1t the board found it convenient to rescind the rule requiring payment for board2 When the Hospital Board rescfrsded its action in regard to mak- ing the old soldiers pay for their 1seep at the home it seems to me they acknowledged that they never had a wight to charge for board there. A atate law gives the Hospital Board power to allow an old soldier the pIdce of h1S maintenance aI Ihe nome and allow him to continue to live in his own ho1nes Under this law how does 1t happen that. the board grants q suAldiar living out of the home but per week and has charged him $5 per week for board when he was an dnmasse of the home?
 HecG4cn z87o. of the 1913 public acts aIhnews soldiers wife and cnfl- dxen $z xsF week each rem state aid while ths husband and father is an irnna4e Of the B4tch's Soldiers Home. Tfnen. why should the board allow but to the wife and nothing to the cEa1dren as has been done in some caaes2
 would suggest that the tax payers Of tne staAe do some. thinking about these matters Let them investigate the acts Of the law makers at Hart ford livery citizen has a right to a square deal, old soldiers included. Foggy methods should not be used in state business.

Rain is general over northern and

Judith Gap. Between the latter point
and Billings there is a section where
no rain has fallen. East to Glasgow

Or has your next door neighbor a
baby Of whom you are fond?
If 80, you will be interested In the
Better Babies Contest to be held at
the Valley City Chautauqua June 26
to July 13. 1914.
Why?
p Because the public in general Is
Just beginning to realize that a great
deal depends upon just your baby or
your neighbor's baby. The health Of
the nation Is built on the health of
each baby, and physicians win tell
you that with proper care and feeding
Of children the entire health Of the ma.
tion can be built up. Healthy babies
mean healthy children In the public
schools. Thus the expense Of trying to
educate defective children Is reduced
for the tax payer. Healthy children
in the school room grow into healthy,
vigorous, satisfied workers in the in
dustries and professions. And best of
all, healthy babies mean peace and
happiness in the home, and care.free
parents.
The Better Babies Contest proves
these statements and more.
If your baby is pretty we'll, and
pretty good an dcries very little, you
may think 1t an allround good baby.
But If you bring 1t to the contest, you
will learn how it can be made per.
fectly well baby, a baby who does not
cry except when actually hurt-an all.
round better and best baby.
That Is what Better Babies Contests
are for. The babies are entered just
as they used to be at the old fashioned
baby show. But there the similarity
stops. For at the Better Babies Con-

in diameter. Poultry, sheep, cattle and
horses were killed. The loss Is large.

neuvers between troops Of the regular
army and the state militia forces this
year will be participated in by a linn.
tied number of regulars, the war de-

Wis. July 1925; Nebraska, entire
guard, Camp Dodge, Iowa, Aug. 1920.
Not only will the attendance from
the regular army be limited but some of
the companies from the regular estab.
lishment probably will do duty with
more than one Of the state militia or.
ganizations.
