TOLD JONES PLACE"
 IN EASTON BURNED WITH ITS CON TENTS
Dwelling Near Site of Famous Spring Is Destroyed
 By Fire.
Special to The Farmer )

Easton, Oct. 1s.-While Moses Iaza- rus was on a hill overlapping his dwelling near the site of the old paper mill here, returning from West Red ding, and Mrs. Lazarus was visiting lneighbors, their home burned last night.
 None but the children was home when the fire broke out in the kitchen. They ran for help to. the nearby resi- dents but the latter were unable to save the building.
 Soon after 8 o'clock last night, the Ablaze broke out of a defective chimney and set the kitchen aE1re. The chil- dren were helpless and the flames gained .headway before they ran for help. Their father was far away, on the road back from west Bedding.
 Neigh bors saved some of the cloth ing and va1uable The furniture and other possessions were burned with the building. Lazarus, who was for merly Q peddler in Bridgeport and lately, through thrift, had acquired enough to buy house and garden, is left practically penniless.
 The structure was covered by $1. 300 but this money goes to Emery P. San ford of Bedding who holds 8 mortgage on the property-
 For many years the land and dwell- ing has been known as The Jones place. It is chiefly famous because there is a spring on the property that for 50 years has given excellent medic inal water, which was sold until Lag arus acquired the warranty deed.

 On That Point.

Henry Ford is not contemplating Inc manufacture of baby submarines pr any parts of submarines ,irrespec- i've of the belief to the contrary pre- vaIcnt throughout the United States.
 < letter to a. prominent inventor of this city, the contents of which are confidential. shows without question, that the prominent manufacturWr of automobiles and member of the naval advisory board. will only lend his ge- n1us to the government, and sets at rest the ru1nor that prevailed in this city for some time that Ford expect ed to locate near a waterway that he might manufacture baby subs.N
 The letter under date of October 7. follows:

 After expression of personal thanks for data submitted by the local in ventor the letter closes with the sig nature of G. $. Anderson, assistant secretary to Henry Ford.
