PARIS, Sept. 3.-A fight IN tEc
air over Paris took place vast ecNh-
ing. Three German acroplaneS nov
erred over the capital and immediate
" two French machines were SEN
up to engage them.
Meanwhile rifles and machine
guns mounted on public DulldlhSH
kept up constant fire. by TINS
mrans one of the German machines
became separated from the Others
and the French aviators flew Swlil-
" in its direction. The Germans
opened fire, to which the French
men replied vigorously.
The engagement seemed to turn
TO the disadvantage of the Germans
who mounted speedily to u higher
level and, holding this position, was
saved from further attack. He I'M
ally disappeared in a northwest di'
,rcction over Fort Romainvillc. after
Il vain pursuit.
The other German acropiancs ais"
escaped the fire of the guns. and,
after circling about for considcra-
bic time, disappeared from view.
LONDON, Sept. 3.-A dispatch to

striking the houses five bombs tore
great holes in Il field at the rear Oi
the buildins. The forts fired upon
the airship and it is believed that
she was hit. the Zeppelin retired

lness the convention listened to a ser
mon by Rev. Aaron Hutchinson of
Pomfret Gen. Rush c. Hawkins of
New York, who visited Windsor last
week is a descendant of Rev. Mr..
Hutchinson. After the sermon the
convention proceeded to the specific
business for which it was elected"
1t was on the Sth of July, 1777,
that the convention was at the point
OF taking an adjournment to allow its
members to assist in repeliing Brit
ish invasion when terrific thunder
storm arose and they were compelled
to remain. The constitution was hur-
riedly and unanimously adopted and
signed on that day.
From the record secured by Mr..
White that the convention was open
ed by sermon it is evident that the
convention was held in the meeting
house where IL was called for and
where all meetings OF a similar ma
ture were held. II does not seem
plausible to believe that Rev. Mr.. Hut
Crimson preached his sermon In the
tavern when the meeting house was
1t hand any more than It does that
the convention would adjourn its ses-
sion from the meeting house to the
tavern in order that later genera
tons might spend many good dollars
on its restoration.
However, the fact that the consti-
tuition OF Vermont was signed in the
building on the site of Old South
church instead OF the "Old Consttu-
ton House" does not detract any
thing from the valne OF that old build
ing as an historical relic There is
every reason TO believe that the old
building was in many ways connect
ed with the events incident to the
signing and that the delegates, many
of them, stopped there. Probably al
so there was many "Star Chamber"
session OF the constitutional com
mittee held there but the assertion
that the convention adjourned from
its session and the 40 odd delegates
went down to sign the constitution
there is humbug.
The real building where the consti-
tuition was signed is still in existence
and Is at present a part OF ST. Paurs
parish house. II the society wants
the real building there II is. II it
wants to restore the old tavern be-
cause OF its relation to those stir
ring days" no one denies its privilege.
but It should be made clear first that
only an unfounded legend is the basis
for the contention that the constitu-
ton of the state of Vermont was
signed there.

An Ornament to Paris.

The Place della Concorde in Paris is
one Of the most beautiful places OF its
kind in the world. 1t was not until
11G3 that the grounds were first adorn-
ed by the erection OF an equestrian
statue Of Louis XIV. and Gabriel. the
architect, constructed the balustrades
and pavilions that are seen today. The
present design. however was made by
ITittorlf in 1854. In 1892 the statue of
the king was removed by the populace,
and the square became known as the
Place de In Revolution. During the
bloody period the guillotine was plac-
ed here, and Louis XVI. was executed
on Jan. 81, 1913. and in the following
October the unfortunate Marie An.

Give II a Name

The fad now is to give your farm
or place name.
But we should 20 a little further
and do a little better and give the
public a little more satisfaction.
We should not only give our farms
names, but those names should he
neatly painted on sign over each
entrance, together with the name of
the owner of the place.
And while we are about il let's do
another good job and give name
to every country church, and school
house, and cemetery, and public place
of every nature, and have the names
of those conspicuously displayed.
And then when the township is
thus completely named and charted
n map could be printed giving the To-
cation of each place by name, to-
gether with every highway, lake and
river in like manner, and residents
could provide themselves with these
maps.
And with such map a person to-
tally unacquainted in the territory
could go anywhere and find any place
without asking a single question.
And that is something which no
man on earth can do today under the
present conditions.

Yes, just thst-wealth from ca
lamity.
The war in Europe is a calamity
world calnmity-but from 1t will
come great wealth for the American
farmer.
lie will reap the greatest benefit
Of all.
When the war is over Europe will
awaken to the fact that it is desti-
tute Of foodstuffs.
Fields will be- untitled except by
nged men. women and young boys,
and the little produced by them will
supply but fraction Of the demand.
Ii is then the American farmer will
step into the breech with his hun
dreds of millions Of dollars worth
Of farm products.
The demand will be great and
prices will be CORRESPONDENCE high,
and the farmer will reap golden
harvest such as he has never known
before.
And the farmer will spend literally
in turn, and the merchant and the
professional man, and the mechanic.
and all Of the people, even unto the
humble editor, will share in the new
~ accumulated wealth that is to
come 10 us from across the seas.
Tremendous crops are reported,
the government estimating corn at
2.676 900 900 bushels, wheat ut $685.
DOC. 900, oats at l,l37 10000 bar
ley at 100000 bushels, and other
crops in proportion.
When the great surplus Of this
crop is marketed in Europe at war
prices il will pour so much wealth
into the pockets of the farmers that
our country will be flooded with gold,
and the liberality of the farmer in
his own prosperity will radiate to all
banchcs Of trade.
Patience is the watchwod today,
but tomorrow n different story will
be told.
And with patience we should com
bine enough common sense to keep
us free from all entanglements in the
present conflict,
Thousands " Europeans who
contemplate coming to this land of
the free have been "through routed"
to another country whish is equally
free. and from whirh no traveller has
ever yet retuned.
