sALIsBURY'S ANNIVERSARY.

Plans for the exercises commemora. tive of the organization of the Town of Salisbury, to be held at the town hall on Nov. 9, 1916, the 175th Annivel- sary Of Salisbury's first town meeting, are nearly completed.
 An executive Uummittee of ten. chosen from the : int committee of town officers and tne officers and trus- tees of The Salisbury Association. has been selected to manage the celebra- tion, in connection with committees on historical loan exhibit and entertain. nent.
 Programs will he issued within a few deys, as soon as ii lal arrangements with speakers, etc. haze heen made. Copies with cards of invitation, will be sentsto non. resident members of The Salisbury Association, and anyone wishing to have invitations sent to people living elsewhere, who are not on the association list, can have this done by applying to the secretary of the association.
 Hon. D. T. Warner will act as presi- dent of the day and sixteen old resi-. dents of the town have been selected as honorary vice-presidents and will oc- cupy seats upon the platform. The ex- ercises to be held on the afternoon of the 9th of November will consist of four or,five short addresses, part of them by visitors and part by residents. Gov. Holcomb has been invited to speak and it is anticipated that he will accept
 The celebration will not be elaborate or expensive, but no effort will be spared to make it both dignified and interesting. Residents of the town can be depended upon to attend in force and make the event memorable one, and Tn addition it is hoped that many former residents will avail themselves of this opportunity to visit the old home and renew their interest in it, or if they cannot be present in person that they will send letters of reminiscence to be read at the gatherings.

BEEN REXFORD PASSES AWAY.

Every man, woman and child ill the United States has heard and attempted to sing "Silver Threads Among the Gold" Therefore, all are interested in the fact that Eben fRexford, who wrote the song with number of others, has just died of typhoid fever at Green. bay, Wis, at the age of 68 years. He published couple of volumes of verse, and wrote on flowers and their culture. He began newspaper work as a boy, and all his life loved to write.-Spring. field Republican.

WINTER WORK ON THE FARM.

In these days of scarce and high priced labor inability to make every mans time count for the most is bring ing failure to many farmers. Efficient management of labor has always been an important factor in successful farm ing. Now it has become indispensable if profits are to be expected.
 During the late fall and winter, work is slack on many farms. The ability of the farmer to plan his business SO that he will have productive work for his men to do during the slack period may mean success where failure would otherwise result.
 On forty eight farms in Meriden, Cheshire and Wallingford fourteen farmers who planned their business 30 of productive work per year made profits averaging ST, ,5l0 each, while fourteen others who managed them selves and their help so that each man did less than two hundred days pro- ductive work year made an average profit of $l95 each.
 There are various ways in which horses and men can be kept busy at productive work during these slack months. As much of the blowing as possible should be done at this time. This may mean the saving of hiring the next spring. It may prevent de- laying the whole of the next years work. Apple trees may be pruned in the fall, building repairs made, ma chinery overhauled and put in shape for next year. Manure should be hauled out and spread on the land in the fall rather than be left till spring.
 Those farmers who have raised money crops which they can market during the fall and winter are fortunate in- deed. There is no better way of keep ing men and horses at productive work.
 On two hundred and eiRhty.six Con- necticut farms studied in the year 1915, labor constituted 70 per cent. or al. most one.half of all tho expense on the farms. With competition with other lines of business keen, and the price of labor rising, 10 succeed the farmer must plan the expenditure of farm lab- or more carefully than ever.-I. c. Davis, in c. A. c. BHlletin.

AUT0-TROLlEY COLLISION
Narrow Escape on the Ashley Falls
 Protected" Crossing.

Mrs. Frank Knapp and her ten-years. old daughter. Dorothy, of Beacon, N. Y., accompanied by Mrs. Knapp's N. r., motored from Hudson last Saturday morning, enroute to Canaan to visit relatives. At Ashley Falls they approached the Main street cross- ing just ahead of the 11:3S trolley north, and, as Mrs. Knapp expressed it, saw a man walk out into the road in a way that caused them to wonder which side would be best to turn to avoid Hitting him. When almost to him Mrs. Knapp stated that he displayed the "Stop" signal, and. although run. ming slowly. there was no time to stop wichCut running onto the track. At the same instant, MT. Rossman, who was running the auto, saw the car coming, but. i'll his confusion and effort to control the machine to avoid hitting the man, thought the car was on the track of the steam road. In stantly turning the auto to the left to avoid collision and before he had time to see that the car was on the trolley track, the crash came.
 Dorothy was sitting on her mothers lap and the shower of broken glass from tile wind. shield came into her face. Fortunately she wore glasses of suffi- cient strength to keep the broken glass out of her eyes, but gash was cut over her right eye and several cuts and scratches on the right cheek. The lit. tie girl was taken into Mrs. Loverin's house near the crossing and call was telephoned to pr. Lee in Canaan, who responded immediately, and dressed the wounds, after which he took the party to their destination, the home of MT. and Mrs. Samuel Briggs, Canaan.
 The auto was considerably crippled.

BRISTOL'S FAST GROWTH.

It is rather difficult for Bristol people to realize how fast our city is growing. Quoting twenty four thousand as the population seems at first rather ex- travagant, but the figures speak for themselves. An expenditure of three quarters of million dollars hls year in building operations is eloquent of rapid growth and expansion. This is gratifying, but it brings in its train new problems that will have to be met. such as enlarged business area. new streets, improvements and betterments all along the line. The most gratify- ing thing is the readiness of Bristol people to meet changing conditions squarley and frankly.-Press.

GRADE CROSSING ACCIDENT
Engine Runs Into Automobile at Main
 Street Crossing.

What might have been fatal ac- cident was narrowly averted last Fri. day night, when southbound freight Charles Laffargue's Metz car on the crossing near the Canfield hotel.
 At about l0:30 o'clock, MT. Laf- fargue in company with E. A. Creevey, both of whom had been attending the meeting of the state Chamber of Com merce in Middletown, were coming home. On the way they had been dis. cussing the dangers of the grade cross lngs and this one in particular; just as they reached the track the engine ap peared right on them without warning.
 MT. Laffargue instantly put on speed to clear the track, but the engine caught his car just forward of the rear wheels; the pilot evidently lifted the car and pushed it to one side close to the track. AS soon as it was clear of the engine MT. Creevey was thrown out and it is wonder he was not caught under the driving wheels of the engine. AS it was, one sleeve of the rain coat he wore has large piece cut from one side. and he believes that it was caught between the rail and the wheels of the engine, a very close call for his arm.
 MT. Laffargue was not thrown from the car but kept his pace at the steer. ing wheel; but MT. Creevey has severe bruises on his back and legs, that are liable to lay him up for several days yet. He was unable to move when the rescures arrived. They had to pull him from between the Metz car and the rails. pr. Lee was called and at. tended to his removal to his home. He is still confined to his bed.
 It is @ singular coincidence that MT. Creevey should be injured in an acci- dent at this crossing, for it was at the meeting of the Business Mons Associa. tion only two weeks ago, that he brought up the matter, and because of his remarks the members present voted to refer the matter of better protection to the committee on railroads to report at the next meeting.
 No man in the association has watched the continual switching over this crossing any closer than MT. Creevey. In his speech last Thursday night, he warned the members that some day an accident would surely happen there, urging some action to avert one. He urged that the associa tion insist that the railroad company have watchman at the crossing all night, for there is hardly an hour dur ing the night but what a train is switching over this unguarded crossing in the center of the town.
 The truth of his assertion is now proved, fate would have it that MT. Creevey should be the victim. Now it is time the proper authorities take action tending to do away with the great danger that surely is to be found at an unguarded crossing. Canaan has had it's warning, what are we going to do about it?
 The lives of two prominent citizens were miraculously preserved this time. How and why they were not both in. stantly killed will always remain mystery.

WHITE HORSE ON AUTOMOBILE


 The advertising automobiles of the Moxie company passed through here last week, attracting considerable at- tention. There are three machines in the group. One of the ''cars" is a real novel one, being in the shape of a wooden horse. The horse, white in color, is mounted on the chassis of a Tumble runabout automobile and the driver, J. D. Doucette or "Moxie Joe" as he is better known, sits astride the animal and drives the automobile in this manner. The steering wheel comes up through the horses neck and the brake and clutch pedals are so ex- tended that they come in the position of the usual stirrups on the saddle.
 The other two cars are Cadillac, eight cylinder roadsters done in a special color and finish. One of the cars is enameled white with green trimmings. This is driven by l.. A. Hager, man. ager of the road advertisement. The other car is covered with $1100 worth of real gold leaf trimmed with green. This car is unusually handsome in ap- pearance.
 Something like 5000 miles has been covered by the three cars this summer. They have visited practically every state in the Union and were in Cali fornia for time. The idea is simply an advertising scheme for "Moxie, " and 1t is meeting with success every where. The feature is decidedly un- usual.

PRICES JUST AFTER CIVIL WAR


 Says the Pittsfeld Eagle: When the housewife looks over her grocery bill these days and comments upon the high prices of many commodities, her grand mother is apt to refer to prices about the time of the Civil war and to tell her that things today aIe not quite so bad as they might be. In this connec- tion some figures taken from an old order book of Pittsfield grocery man under date of February 8, 1866 and re- produced in the Grocer's magazine are of interest. They are as follows:
 One pound mixed tea $1.75; one sack buckwheat four $1. 50; three and one- half pounds of lard 75 cents; five and one half pounds of sugar $1; one.half gallon molasses 50 cents; one broom 55 cents; 13 pounds pork $2. 34; one half gallon kerosene 55 cents; I94 pounds of ham $4.93; 24 eggs 90 cents {; one-half dozen herring IS cents; one box matches 25 cents; one pound green coffee 50 cents; to bars soap so cents i; one gallon syrup $2; one.half pound smoking tobacco 40 cents; two pounds rice 30 cents; one gallon vinegar 40 cents; one barrel rye four $7:5O; two pounds dried apples 40 cents; one bar rel four $14; two and one-half pounds crackers 38 cents.
