"BringIng Up Father"

So runs the title of Gus Hills latest singing and dancing carnival of fun. founded on George McManus's famous cartoon series of the same name. The daily newspapers hand a laugh to tn ir en,v readers through the five or six little cartoons depicting the troubles of "Mama and Daughter" and their dis comftur6 in the process of teaching Father to be human. Their attempts to take him into good society lead to many side splitting incidents and such hilariously funny situations as have never before been offered in a play of any character. It is therefore, natural to suppose that real flesh and blood characters upon the stage will prove doubly funny, especially so with big company of talented performers in sup port of McManus's s brain people. The cast is made up entirely of speciality of their own. This is in the line of public taste, but it has a distinct advantage over any Vaudeville entertainment from the fact that all of the various specialties are knitted together in a pleasing plot, with a chorus of pretty girls to form the connecting link and flavor the entire offering with sufficient spice to properly season the entertain ment. Bringing up Father" will be at the Mahaiwe Theatre, Great Barring ton, one night, Friday May 7th. Get seats in advance if you want to thoroughly enjoy the fun.

Acceptances for Ladies Night" Indi-
 cate a Crowded Dining Room.
 The ladies' night and supper of the Canaan Business Mems Association is proving a decidedly popular proposi- tion. The acceptances thus far re- ceived by Secretary Wright, of the general committee, indicate that there would be no difficulty in filling the Canfeld's dining room even if the capacity were twice as great.
 The committee have endeavored, in the distribution of invitations, to pro- vide first for those who are or have been active and interested members of the Association, and their ladies. The acceptances, from these, have been so general that fewer outsiders may be invited than could be wished, but the fact that the dining room will accom- modate only 125 must account for the omission to send invitations more gen erally.
 The supper will be all that could be wished for, and will be we'll worth the price-Lardlord Baker may be de- pended upon to see to that: and the music and entertainment committee, Mr. and Mrs. R. D. Peirce at the head, with MT. and Mrs. E. A. Creevey, Mir. and Mrs. G. M. Brewer, MT. and Mrs. Ivan Cam, Miss Caroline Camp and Leonard Caldwell. are preparing pro- gram of features for the after dinner enjoyment of the guests. that will be novel and different. " They are giv- ing nothing out that will impart clue to the character of the entertainment, but the personnel of the committee is sufficient assurance that there is some thing delightful in store for next Thursday night.

The forest fire which ragged all Wed. nesday and Wedne sday night in the woods near Prospect Hill, in North Kent and Warren, continued to burn vigorously although the railroad con- pany sent crews from Danbury to aid the local beaters, Word was sent to Litchtield, Thursday afternoon that the conflagration was believed to be under control, though new blazes were con stantly springing up from sparks drop ping into tender-like underbrush, some. times half mile away from the main fire. The total damage will probably exceed $I ,000. Much of the loss comes to private owners, but the New Haven road is also heavy sufferer along its extra wide right-of- way in that section.
 It was reported Thursday that two other forest fires were sweeping,thI ough tracts in :, crth Gosehn and tu the south west Litoliitld.
 Fire, which is thought to have been started by a lighted cigar thrown in the dry grass by a passerby Thursday morning. burned over fifty acres of meadow landrowned by David Turner on Walnut Hill, Thomasron. The fire burned to within few feet of the house, which was saved Ly hard work before help arrived, word having been telephoned to Northfeld, from where fifteen men came.

AUTO STUCK IN MUD
Canaan Tourists Come to Relief of
 WInsted Autoists.

Sunday afternoon as MT. and Mrs. A. W. Holsapple were motoring on the road between Norfolk and Winsted, they came upon a Cadillac touring car, stuck in the mud, a little to one side of the driveway, where it had turned out to pass another auto. The occu- pants of the car were NIT. A. O. Lamb and family, of Winsted.
 MT. Holsapple rendered aid and soon the machine was on terra frma again and speeding merrily on its way, But after going a short distance another auto was met and in turning out MT. Lambs auto again became mired and was fast in the mud, up to the hubs and tipping at a sharp angle that looked almost like an upset. The Rec car be- longing to H. B. Ives, with Mir. Ives and party, driven by Bert Brewer, hap. pened along and with the aid of fence rails and brute strength the party assist ed MT. Lamb once more upon hardpan, and he pursued his journey without further mishap so far as reported.

We ston Deer Tame.

c. H. Benedict, of Weston, says that he has at different times, seen a herd of twenty deer on his premises near his farm cottage. The animals, he said, were tame and did not seem afraid when he moved about among them within distance of 100. feet or so. Often some of them would come close to the cottage and after grazing, would lie down apparently quite unconcerned. Farmers, MT. Benedict said, were rather disturbed about planting crops with so many friendly deer about.
