Rev. Thomas H. Dodd delivered an inspiring address to the boys, and laid special emphasis on the Liberty loan campaign, which is now on. He urged the people to support the cam paign and subscribe literally to the loan, that the Liberty boys may be backed up by Liberty dollars.
 Father Edward Albouy delivered a stirring address on patriotism. He declared that the United States is en- gagged in battle for world freedom and pointed out the necessity of the people supporting the nation in the most titanic struggle of the ages.
 Judge Carl G. Krook brought round after round of applause from the large crowd which packed the court house grounds and overflowed into the street when he asserted that this is Amer ica's war and Americans must support the government. He declared that the boys leaving for the front should consider it a great priviledge to fight for their country and that they should be made to feel that the folks at home are back of them.
 At the conclusion of this speech, the Red Cross ladies presented the com fort kits made by the Red Cross to the boys. Mrs. Allen E. Ware acted as spokesman and said a few words of cheer to each of the boys as she pre- sented the kits.
 One feature of the demonstration that stood out in bold relief was that which centered around the huge American flag over the court house. During the program, the band played ''The Star Spangled Banner" and a spot light was turned on the flag. There was a good stiff breeze and never did Old Glory float more ma jestically than while the Liberty boys were preparing to say farewell to their friends and sever home ties for their country. In the still night air there pealed forth the sharp blasts of the band, the spotlight from an automobile in the street was turned skyward and there appeared the per feet emblem of freedom and liberty, unsullied, unstained by disgrace, de- feat or cowardly practices. The peo- pie caught up the spirit and cheered Justify for several minutes.
 The parade then formed to accom- pany the boys to the depot. With the band heading the procession, came the Home Guards, about 25 in number, then the Liberty boys Red Cross ladies, fraternal delegations and the Boy Scouts.
 The Boy Scouts gave a splendid ex- hibition of drilling and side arms man. euvers on the court house grounds just before the parade.
 The illumination for the parade con sisted of torches which lent dis

The exact origin of the fire has not been determined, but the most plausi- ble theory is that some of the big oil supply pipes leading to the boilers were being cleaned by steam pressure and in some manner oil was forced in to the fire box. An explosion result ed and the burning oil was shot over the engine room. Within a few minu- tes, the entire plant was on fire and a general alarm was sounded.
 Despite the hazardous task of fire no one was injured, and the flames were confined to the mill

 About 200 men are employed and for time Thursday there was great excitement in camp as to what would be done toward rebuilding.

NO PLACE FOR
ANIMAL TENT

At New Bedford, Conn, there was
no place to pitch the animal tent of
the Ringing circus, the lot being too
small The animal cages were all
placed in the street, and when the Wis
itors came from the big top they could
walk along and see the specimens
from the jungles. This is the second
time during recent years there was
no room for the animal tent.
The ballet girls with the circus did
a. very nice thing. None of them
alone could afford liberty bond, so
they Joined together and purchased
one, giving it to the Red Cross in the
town where the bond was bought. The
banker who made the transaction
gave each of the girls button. The
fifty dollar bond cost the girls little
less than one dollar each.
The circus finds many foreigners in
the New England towns, and there is
fear that some of the young men with
the circus may have to go to the war.
Warm weather has recently favored
the show.

.DELTON DAMS
WASHED AWAY
Heavy Rains Cause Much Damage
and Empty Mirror Lake in a
Short Time

On Saturday both the Timme and
Sarrington dams at Delton gave way
and considerable damage resulted.
Early in the day the Sarrington dam,
situated below the one owned by the
Timme Brothers, gave way, and along
in the afternoon the one at the Timme
mill went with rush. This carried
away more dirt from the Sarrington
dam, but did not add greatly to the
damage already done.
At the Timme mill the water rose
evry rapidly on Saturday. The wa
ter was forty or fifty inches over the
work, one Of the owners says Earlier
in the day Herman Timme noticed an
old boat lodged on the dam and broke
it to pieces in order to remove it. It
was noticed at that time there was
whirling Of the water by the boat, and
1t is thought this caused the dam to
begin to break. The water continued
to rise, and it was never known to
come up so fast. Later it began to re-
cede and it was thought the dinger
was over. Along in the afternoon it
was noticed there was danger of a
break, and Otto Timme hurried1y filled
a sack with sand to dump it into the
weak place. AS he started to do SO
those on the opposite shore, motioned
for him to go back and he did so. In a
few moments a portion of the dam
was gone. @:z
One Of the owners of the mill stated
that. the logs went down the stream
bobbing up and down like matches
on a current. 1t was with difficulty
that the warehouse by the mill was
saved. The portion that went out was
the oldest part. Nine years ago q sec
ton of the dam went down the stream
and this renewed part remains
Four times In fifteen years a portion
of the Sarrington dam has gone, The
proprietors found the last damage
done when they arrived at the mill
early Saturday morning. 1a n5
Built Long Ago
The Timme dam was erected in 1860
by Labar & Boorman The mill after
wards was owned by F. Dorm and J.
r. Adams. 3
The Sarrington dam was built in
1850 by Fox & TOPPING for the purpose
Of operating a saw mill. A gffst mill
was soon afterwards built and among
the owners have been John T. Ward,
J. H.. Adams, John E. Winkenwe gder
and IT. M. Warren. 80
