A WORTHY CAUSE
"Fair of the Nations" at Norfolk, Sat-
 urday.

urday.
 We may call ourselves neutral, and be the most rigid devotees of peace, but unless we are lacking i'll commone st humanity, and especially unworthy of the name of Christians, we must take part in ameliorating the distressing conditions made by the war.
 One pressing need emphasized by the appeals of the Red Cross is for ban. dages and other surgical dressings made ready for instant use. in order to staunch in time the flowing life-blood, and bind up the wounds that they may heal. ..
 Here is labor of love that appeals to everyone, however poor; and espe- cially to those who have leisure and means to aid in the splendid work.
 No more worthy organization has been started since the war began than the Surgical Dressings Committee for all Nations for promoting and systems. tizing this work. Already hundreds of thousands of warm hearts and ready hands are responding to its appeals But alas the need is so great that it far exceeds the supply. .#
 In this connection it is pleasure to note the great festival which will be held at Norfolk, on Saturday, August 2Sth, to inspire enthusiasm for the pro. ject, and to collect and distribute needed material. It bids fair to be a grand success. Prominent men and women of artistic and other talents, representing by their nationalities both sides in the conflict, have cheerfully promised their aid in making attrac. tive this gathering which may properly be called Festival of Humanity.
 Alfred Moves, the celebrated English poet who has so often been seen and heard at Norfolk has contributed four volumes of his works to be sold for the benefit of the Fair. These volumes contain on the fly leat an original verse by the poet and his signature.
 The only copy of the history of the Litchfeld County Choral Union, in the de luxe edition, which has ever come upon the market, has also been contributed for the sale. Only 100 copies of this edition were printed and the other 99 were presented to the lead ing libraries of the world, to celebrated composers and literary men.
 The music will be furnished by John G. Franks orchestra, of New York city. This orchestra is made up of picked men from prominent.erehestra of New York city and consist of 25 players Mir Frank will conduct personally and there will be music in the afternoon for the Pageant and in the evening for the dancing in the shed.
 A Punch and Judy show has been secured for afternoon performance ill the court yard of the stables for the benefit of the children and grown ups. This performance will be given at o'clock and will be succeeded by some tricks by professor of mag.c.
 Contributions to the various stands are coming in fast in great amounts.
 A fine Japanese collection has been secured, typical lot of German goods French, English and Italian have al. ready been promised.
 One hundred and twenty-five child. ren of Norfolk have been invited to at tend the Fair in the afternoon and to see the Punch and Judy show. All of these children are under 12 years of age and will not attend the dancing in the evening.

 Mrs. F. W. Garvin, state chairman, was present from Norfolk to instruct the ladies i'll the preparation of band ages. There were goodly number ot ladies present, and Mrs. Garvin was very much pleased with the work ano prospects of the future usefulness of the local committee. Mrs Garvin read ex- tracts from letters from France and England showing how necessary the work is and how very much it is appre. ciated by the men in the hospitals One of the soldiers described had nc less than thirty wounds. His only sor- row is that he will not be able to re- turn to the field and help the cause of hls country.
 The committee will meet each week on Tuesday afternoon in the lecture room of the Methodist church at 2 o'clock. It is hoped ss many of the ladies of Canaan as possible will come and help prepare the bandages. Old linen and muslin will be needed in quantities for the work and it is hoped will be donated. All such may be left with Miss Saygers, in the Canfeld Block.
 Mrs. Garvin extended a cordial in- vitation to anyone who wished to meet with the Norfolk committee on We'd nesday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock.

THE NORFOLK CONCERT
Pro-German Music Lovers Assembled

 Norfolk was decidedly and intensely pro- German, Wednesday evening, es. pecially the large and intellectual con. tingent that crowded the old White Church on the Green to enjoy the 2lst concert given through the generosity ot Miss Mary Eldridge for the benefit of the Norfolk Missionary Society and particularly to hear again the glorious voice of the world-fanous diva, Md dame Schumann- Heink, who sang mos1 of her numbers in the German tongue and in her irresistible German manner "a manner of which the present writer has no license to attempt a description, It was fascinating, and as always, heI incomparable voice elicited the most From the time Madame Schumann. Heink made her first appearance in tht "choir" and smilingly acknowledged the friendly greeting of the audience, al the same time throwing a kiss to het long time friend, Miss Eldridge, wh6 sat in the gallery, until she sang her last number, ''The Rosary, the large audience was hers.
 It was an exceptional galaxy of talent that appeared in addition to Schumnn-Heink-largely German, and to great extent familiar favorites in Norfolk Miss Edmunds, of Winsted, the gifted soprano, who is rapidly win1 ming her way to the front rank, charmed all her hearers by the admirable mani ner in which she acquitted herself, and was heartily applauded.
 An especially pleasing feature of the evening was the trumpet music preced ing the concert by quartet of trumpet CTS from New York, played in the bel. fry of the church while the crowd were waiting for the church doors to open.

WAFER DISPLAY
Broken Pipe Sends Fountain Squirting High in Ar.

Saturday morning the habitues and passers-by cn Raihoad street were some what astonished and considerably en- tertained by spectacular display of hydraulics on the west side of the Ca naan Mercantile store, where a stream of water rose perpendicularly from the inner edge of the sidewalk to height even with the caves of the store and fell in beautiful fountain that made the walk impossible and filled the gutter from that point to the manhole at the corner.
 When the first arrival at the store, that morning, descended into the cellar he found the basement floor covered with water and a torrent pouring in through the cellar wall. It was appar ent that the service pipe had burst, somewhere between the wall and the main pipe, and the first move was to shut-off the water from the service pipe. John Fuller procured "key" to the shut-off, and poking it down into what was supposed to be the service pipe box, twisted the stop-cock. It proved, however, to be the shut.off for the hose connection, and started the fountain outside, sending the stream up, like a sky-rocket, and it took con- siderable time to shut it off and get things into shape to find and repair the broken pipe.
 MT. Creevey, the plumber promptly got busy, and with the help of vigor ous shoveler soon found and remedied the defect. The pipe had burst close to the main and the escaping water had forced itself through several feet of earth, into the cellar. The old pipe had been in service more than % years.

Some Cucumbers.

This is great year for cucumbers. At the Distin Farm in Avon, where they devote two acres to these vegeta- bles they are now picking an average of 10000 day. Most of them are carried by motor to the Silver Lane pickling factory. The season is only a short one of a few weeks, but it is strenuous work picking cucumbers and hard to obtain enough helpers during the rush.

TWIN LAKES NAMES
Original Nomenclature Derived from
 Natural Characteristics.

iNotAf ~ Stfoi NSASf a@HSos
 The following interesting contribu.
 ton is by gentleman residing in the
 neighborhood of Twin Lakes and takes
 the reader back, in imagination, hun- dreds of centuries:
 Many hundreds of centuries ago, the region in which the Twin Lakes lie was clothed with dense vegetation, and animal life abounded. Gradually there came change in the climate, ,.due possibly to elevation and increase of land, the eccentricity of the earth's orbit, change in inclination of the poles and the diversion of the Gulf Stream. Gradually the climate became more moist and colder; owing to. the increase of moisture the snow falls became heavier. In time snow remained throughout the year on the higher mountain tops. AS the cold increased and the snowfalls became more fre- quent the snowline descended lower and lower. This snow, through pressure became ice, forming glaciers, which, flowing down the mountain slopes, filled the valleys, until in time the glacial ice covered the surface a mile or more in depth, and all trace of life dis Owing to the configuration of the rock surface and other condi- tions, the ice had a southern move

FIeuREs-ANo FIGURES

FIGURES-AND FIGURES
At the banquet given in Chicago
by the Brewers association to Mr.
Yopica, the newly appointed United
States minister to the Balkan States
and one of their own number, the
speakers attempted to show up their
business as one of the financial props
Of the country.
Among the statements made were
these:
1. The brewers own and operate
l,400 extensive plants, manned by 67,-
900 wage earpers on whom 100000 de-
pend for legitimate livelihood and sup
port.
2. The brewers of this country
have an invested capital of s670,000.-
900, and the value of their annual
products is $375,oJ0, 900. They pay out
in wages and salaries annually $685.
300,QD0.
3. They use annually s1O0,O00,000
worth Of grain and other materials
Granting that these figures are cor
rect let us remember that the account
between the nation and the brewers
aas debit as well as credit side.
Put over against the value of the pro-
luce" and the $1,000 employees with
their wages and salaries" the amount
Of inefficiency and the number of
deaths caused by the alcohol In beer
and deaths which entail
an army of delinquents and depend
ents for the state to care of-and the
400 brewing plants are found to be
quite as serious a drain upon the
country's assets Tits finances and its
as are the distilleries
which some Of the beer men are try
ing to put out of business.
AS regards the amount Of grain
lsed by the brewers, let us listen to
Prof. John A. Nichols of Boston, who
las made an exhaustive study of the
rink question from the financial and
Industrial viewpoint. Following is an
excerpt from his text book, Eco

Voman's Christian Temperance
Union.
Investigation shows that only
cry small part of the farmers pro-
cts are taken by the breweries and
istilleries. For instance, during the
seal year ending June 80, 1911, ia.
OS,S55 bushels Of barley, wheat, rye,
orn and oats were used In making
lcoholic liquors. But the farmers
aised, during the year 1910, total
5,143,1S7 900 bushels Of these same
rains and this shows that the liquor
-affic uses less than two and a half
er cent. Of the five leading grain
rops Of the land. For every. bushel
grain used by the breweries and
lstilleries more than forty-four and
,ree-hfths bushels are used for legi-
mate food purposes. One Of every
ne hundred dollars worth OF grain
