present day was recounted by the
many speakers at the twenty seventh
annual dinner of the Connecticut So
ciety, Sons Of the American Revolu-
ton, which was held at the Hartford
Club, recently. Governor Marcus H.
Holcomb made q strong plea for pa
tary census, Others speakers asked
for greater patriotism.
Each table was decorated with Am
erican flags, red carnations and smi-
lax. Behind the head table, the
American flag and the flag Of the ma
tional Society were placed. Presi-
dent Herbert H. White of the Colonel
jeremiah Wadsworth Branch intro
duced DR.. George c. F. Williams as
the POSTMASTER. Others at the
speakers table were: Governor Hol-
com. National President Wentworth.
Mayor Frank A. Hagarty, Captain

luton.
"Your ancestors were good patriots
and it was very easy for them to be
so, as they were prompted by the
times they lived in" said Governor
.Holcomb. "The times in which they
lived helped them, but they had to
fight for their maintenance. Every
one ought to be willing to fight for
his liberties There is plenty of pa
triotism in Connecticut to-day. but it

what are we doing to prepare in
case OF war? Almost nothing, and
we should be ashamed of ourselves.
We have a few men to-day who are
opposed to doing their part, and think
that we ought not to fight, even though
we are enslaved. When the military
census bill was passed, Mayor Hagar-
ty OF Hartford was one OF the first to
set the good example by appointing
q committee, and by his good example
and the example of others, we expect
to have 1t finished in two weeks.
.There ards few men in the state,
perhaps 1000, who refuse to answer
the questions as asked by the censors.
Their names are being put on green

measure In the General Assembly to
compel those, who refused to answer
the questions, and attach fine and

Danbury Fair Only

Especial to The Farmer)

Hartford Feb 24-Amendment to
the state law by which the Danbury
Fair association under it's present
prosperous condition is not exempt
from taxation was discussed at a
meeting of the com mittee on finance
yesterday.
The law originated in the idea that
fairs as agricultural enterprises are
of service to the state, and as most
of the fairs of the state which strive
to keep this idea uppermost are run
either at loss or at very small
profit, the law works out we'll except

associations fair.
This has been developed into a
highly commercialized institution
and large dividends for the share
holder in the association have been
the result for a number of years.
Because the association pays divi-
dends, under the law it is not exempt
from taxation. A change in this law is
sought by the Danbury fair inter-
ests. The committee took the matter
under advisement.
