 There is apparently no great haste on the part of prospective clerks and carriers in the local post office to file applications for permission to take the civil service examination which is to create a list of eligibles, very few having yet signified their intention of seeking the positions. The examination will be given in the New Britain post office on July g.. At the present time there are no vacancies in the regular staff of clerks and carriers
 No action has as yet been taken re- garding the appointment of a regular man to succeed Rupert s. Morey as rural carrier. It is probable that an examination will be called for in the near future to determine the eligi- bility of the applicants.
 Start on New Route Saturday.

THE STORY OF ZOE"

Godfrey Brooke did not enjoy his
dinner or his company. 1t was more
or less business meal, and just then
Brooke was not feeling at all in a bust

1t was dinner of four men at the

might easily be construed into na-

something move and he chased it, but
it ran so fast he did not even see
what it was.

Where the fair grounds contain sum

Encourage various societies and or
CARNATIONS to use the fair grounds for
conventions and picnic purposes. 1t will

$4,000 READY FOR
WHEAT HARVEST
IN MIDDLE WEST
Workers Assemble for the March North,
According to Reports Reaching U. S.
Employment Service.

Washington, July 25.--An army of So
900 men for harvesting the wheat of the
Middle West already has been recruited,
according to reports which reached the
United States employment service, labor
department, yesterday. The men are be-
ing modified in the southern states of
the belt and will move north as the sea
son progresses, reaching the end of their
march in three months.
Thousands of workers have left Kan
sas City, the gateway to the belt, where
10 officers under the direction of C. l..
Green, head of the New York United
States employment bureau, have been re-
cruiting. The federal bureaus also have
been cooperating with state employment
services to get men
The standard pay is from $3.50 to SO a
day and board, and this is proving suffi-
cient to obtain not only the thousands
from the unemployed, but college men
and city indoor workers to spend their
summer out of doors. Efforts to induce
large employers to spend their annual va
cation in the wheat belt are proving sue
cessful.

Speech Will BE in
Detroit

Washington, July l5.--In reply 10 a
letter from J. c. Parker, a Philadelphia
magazine editor asking if he would ac-
cept the leadership of progressives OF all
parties, President Wilson yesterday
wrote Mr.. Parker that he had no jealousy
of independent political organizations
but believed that the Democratic party
represented the progressive power and
thought OF the country more than any
other party
The letter follows:
81 have read your letter OF July 10th
with a great deal Of attention and very
serious interest and realize as keenly as
you do the anomalous condition by which
many of the progressive voters Of the
country are being confused and misled
as we'll as the old inveterate attractions
which seem TO control the choice OF many
of them in matters political. In answer
TO the questions contained in your letter
will say that for my part have no
jealousy whatever of independent organ
izations intended to keep the independent
voters OF the country reminded Of their
obligations and fully informed as TO par
ties and of the conditions under which
their votes are being felicitated.
For myself sincerely desire and have
tried to deserve the support of all pro-
gressive, forward looking men. be-
lieve, and think that recent experience
has confirmed the belief, that the Demo
cratic party represents larger part of
the progressive power and thought OF
the country than any other party and
that it can be made the instrument and
is being made the instrument of leader
ship in the direction which all men who
love justice and progress must wish TO
take.

to be its nominee and TO have the op-
portunity to lead it,"

CIRCUS COMING TO BARRE.
Cook & Wilson's Wild Animal Circus at
Trotting Park July g.

The definite announcement is made
that Cook & Wilson's wild animal circus
the largest and most complete exhibition
of its kind in the United States. will ex-
hibit in this city Friday, July %.
This will be good news for all who
thoroughly enjoy displays OF trained ami
NAL intelligence The Cook & Wilson
show, it is announced, is not the ordi-
nary, conventional animal exhibition,
made up of a diluted program of tame
acts and tanner animals, but colossal
congress of wild beasts, captured in the
jungles by intrepid hunters, and taught
by equally daring trainers to perform
the most astonishing fests.
While the menagerie in itself is not
ably interesting and educational because
Of the number and diversity OF the wild
animals, its value and interest are en-
HANGED BY the fact that, without excep-
tion. they have been trained to the limit
of animal intelligence. There is a lion
that sails aloft in a big balloon. while
balancing upon narrow trapeZe; there
are tigers and pumas that perform in
unison. despite the fact that they are so
ferocious as to constitute a perpetual
menace to their trainers: there i
school Of remarkably trained and human
like bears; there are educated leopards
and jsglIars and hyenas; there are big
and little elephants that betrsy an al
most uncanny intelligence; there are
high Jumping horses and acting ponies
and clown donkeys; there are troupes Of
serobstic and bicyele-riding monkeys.

beasts
