|s8, 300 FIRE LOSS IN PRESTON.
Horse Barn. Cattle Barn. o 24 Head of Cattle and Hors Burned at Samuel cIrks Place Cause of Fire Un- known Nothing Could be Done to Cheek the Blaze, But Three Horses Were Taken Out in Safety-Norwich Autochenicsl Responded to Call for Hep-Too Late be of Any Assistance.

Fire of unknown origin swept the farm of Samuel Clarke, cattle dealer, in Preston, early Tuesday evening, de- stroying a cattle barn, horse barn, corn crib and silo. Twenty-four head of cattle and one horse perished in the flames, and farm wagons, machinery and tcois were totally destroyed. MT. Clarke estimates his loss at about $S.540 partially covered by insurance
 MT. Clarke retired for the night about 7.30l o'clock, and a few minutes before o'clock he was awakened by the cry of fire. Jumping up and hasti- ly clothing himself. he ran out of the flames. Four horses were in stalie in the horse barn, and MT. Clarke suc- ceeded in getting three of the animals out of the building. The fourth he was unable to reach owing to the dense smoke and it was burned alive. In the cattle barn were 24 head or the finest cattle in this section, but the it was impossible even to attempt rescue and they perished in the flames.
 Wind Changing Saved House.
 A stiff breeze was blowing clouds of sparks directly towards the two-story farmhouse and some apprehension was felt for it's safety. but fortunately the wind changed few minutes later and sent the sparks to the northeast of the house. A telephone call was sent in to the Central station and although the fire was out of the city limits, Chief H. L. Stanton sent the auto chemical company to the scene. The auto left the station at Ss55 o'clock and made a quick run, but the burn ing buildings were in ruins when they reached there. The nearest hydrant was nearly two miles away, and so

FIRST IN SHOP
 MEETINGS AT CUTLERY. Rev. pr. sIoeum Speaks Upon The - Lure of a Face

The series of shop meetings at the International Silver company factory
 at Tkamesvillc which are conducted by the Young Mems Christian associa- with Rev. Dr. J. B. Slocum as the speaker. General Secretary Edwin Hill conducted the meeting.
 Rev. Dr. Slocum spoke upon the topic The Lure of a Face. In opening his short talk, he told the well known
 story from Hawthorne of the boy upon whose life a wonderful stone face in
 the hillside came to make such an l impress that people finally recognized that the face of the boy, grown to
 manhood. had come to be the same as tho noble stone face, and that his
 ton for the ideal that he had held
 before himself.
 Continuing, the speaker said: TEis old story contains useful les-
 son. There was One whose face was
 marred more than any man. He was desrssed and rejected of men, a man of scrrCws and acquainted with grief And yet as He walked among men, there were some that saw in Him the answer of their longings. There were | some who saw in His face the refiec- | tion of exalted ideals. And they who ] thus gazed, upon Him longed to be- come like Him. arf--
 I think whensI I read that sweet story 1 of cid. when Jesus was here among men what a privilege it must have been, just to see Him. There is a tra- dition that the men of Nazareth, when l they were sad and sorrowful, would 1 say enc to another: Let us now go
 and look upon the face of the son of
 Joseph.''
 But we have the same privilege
 Not as they saw Him do we behold
 Him Nevertheless, He walks among l us and longs to help us. Every morn- ing we may look up into His face and ask that we have His help for the | task of that day. All through the hours of that day we may converse with Him. At night we may again look up and ask if we have lived SC
 as to please Him. And though we shall ever be obliged to confess that we have very largely failed, yet we can gather hope that the morrow will give us a new chance for victory. By and by we shall be like Him and we | shall see Him as He is. Meanwhile I let us lift up our eyes unto the hills 1 from whence cometh our help. Oul help cometh from the Lord.

SHOWS HOW TO FARM
 WaaE |
Wilson Farm on Flanders Plain Re-
 spends to Right Cultivation.

Last spring Mir. Wilson of East Lyme T.. a successful farmer of that place, to run tho farm for him in the Flanders district. He said he would like it managed in the Long Island way and would give him a free hand to buy whatever machinery and stock were needed.
 Mir. Reeves has fully demonstrated that Flanders Plain will respond liber- ally to good cultivation with up-to- date machinery. He planted his pota- toes with machine and dug them by machinery, saving much labor and ex- pense. He cultivated his crops by ma chinery as far as possible mad has re- duced hand work to minimum.
 On 10 acres he raised over 1000 bushels of potatoes of saleable size. From three acres of cauliffower he has harvested about 200 barrels. and ex- poets to have 100 more if the freeze holds off another week. He has sold 1000 quart boxes of Brussels sprouts and expects to have at least 2, 900 more before spring. for this is a crop that grows all winter and thrives in the snow, He had fine crop of red cab bage Ruta bagas and carrots are not harvested yet. but look very promising.
 Most of the caulifer has been sold in enc markets of Norwich and New London. The Brussels sprouts were sent tC Boston at better prices than obtainable in New York markets. The potatces except about soc bushels, all he had storage room for, were sold in nearby markets.
 The cost of producing the crops was considerable, but when all expense had been deducted there will be good margin of profit.
 On some of the land Mir. Reeves has raised two crops, and where that was not practical he has sown rye to be ploved under next spring as a soiling crop. MT. Wilson is so we'll satisfied that he has rented several acres from nearby farm and expects to increase his output next year

Why No Faa at seIdIer., camp.

A trolley employe who passes the D. IS. regulars camp at Plainfield ev- cry two hours in the day has had his attention attracted to it by the ab- sence of the American flag flying and raises the inquiry as to why this is so. He has seen five years service in the U. s. marines and recalls that wherever a detachment of marines went, no matter how small, they al- ways had a flag where they estab.
 lished a camp and it was run up each
 morning and taken down each evening with the usual ceremonies. With his experience in the service it seems strange to him to see an encampnnent of U. s. regulars without flag flying.
