to be an echo to an automobile crash
at the center yesterday afternoon
when machines owned by c. j. Law
and w. w. Wheeler, both of New
Britain, came together, both cars be-
ing seriously damaged. The accident
has been reported to the authorities
and should the evidence warrant a
charge of reckless driving may be
presented.
Both Mr.. Law and the chauffeur of
Mr. Wheeler's car disclaim response
bility for the smash. The tenders on
Mr.. Laws machine were bent while
the Wheeler car was badly damaged
In many places Fortunately the occu-
pants of neither car were hurt.
AS the owners OF both cars declare
that they were in no way to blame it
is likely that litigation Will be started
to collect for the damages. There
we're several witnesses to the accident
and the local authorities have inter-
viewed them regarding 1t.
Another Riot Threatened.
What might have been a riot, al
most OF the proportions of the one
which took place a few years ago
when the Gas house gang visited
Plainville, was averted Saturday night
as the result of caution displayed by
New Britain contingent, memb ers Of
which had threatened to clean up the
town.
The Hardware city boys and Plain
Whites had row few nights ago
when they were returning from tho
Southington fair Saturday night the
gang from the neighboring city again
attended the fair and when going
through this town early in the eve
ming one of them was reported as hav-
ing declared that they would return
on the last car and would do dire
things to anyone found on the streets
The word was apparently passed
along the line as when the last car
came into view there were perhaps
fifty young men waiting at the center,
prepared to meet any emergency
which might arise. When the car
stopped the New Britain boys took
a peek through the windows and aft
er looking over the reception COM
mittee decided that discretion was the
better part Of valor and they didn't
leave their seats, although invited to
"come outside
Had they accepted the invitation

PUZZLES ITALIAN CENSORS
Little Groups of Letters and Dashes
on News Letters Convey Mystic
Meaninu,
(By Associated Press.)

Rome, June 23.-The Italian censors'
Office has been baffled for two years
in an effort to discover the meaning
of little groups OF letters and dashes
such as "aScyz-wtv" and so on, which
appear at the end of news items sent
out by The Associated Press in New
York, and remailed from there to The
Associated Press correspondents from
whom the items came. These marks
are the initials of the writer, editor or
manifolder of the item, but apparently
the employees of the censors' bureau
suspect they convey some mystic
meaning, for when received by the cor
respondents here, they have often been
cut out Of the pages, or carefully OBJ
liberated with ink or, sometimes, the
entire batch of mail is withheld for
two or three months at time.
The latter is the favorite method
pursued by the censors' office for pre-
venting information Of a harmful ma
ture from being disseminated. 1t is not
for news cables or business
of a nature seemingly sus-
picious to be quietly forwarded a week
or so after the sender has forgotten
having fled them.
On the whole, however, from an
American point of view, there has been
little complaint regarding either cables
or mails, considering the activity of
spies in Italy. Most Of the complaints
are made editorially by Italian news
papers, which, when news is dull, print
long TRADES declaring that the censor
is suppressing interesting news.

EXHIBITS FOR

Shown Three. Even
ings @saA

Secretary McRoberts Of the inter-
state fair for Fargo July 1928, is con-
graduating himself upon the response
Of the exhibitors in the different de-
partments to his invitation to enter
livestock and other exhibits at the
coming show. However, the fair needs
small exhibitors as well as the man
who breeds extensively. 1t is a good
thing for the fair to have a large col
lection of exhibits in each of the vari-
GUS classes and it is equally good for
the exhibitor.
The advertising value Of a stock ex-
hibit at the fair is very great to the
man with breeding animals for sale.
Also the judges in the various live
stock departments are men of high
standing and their recommendations to
prospective buyers and breeders,
is an advantage well worth consider
ing.
The more complete and diversified
the exhibit, the greater will be the adj
vertising value of the whole and easier
to fill the wants of the prospective
buyers.
The fair this year will feature ex-
hibits Of an educational value to old
and young and everybody is invited
to come and gather information, recre-
alton and pleasure at one and the same
time.
Special Free Attractions.
One Of the most interesting features
OF the fair will be the special free at
fractions. These will consist of night
fireworks on three evenings and six
big free acts on the big stage in front
Of the grandstand; these free acts to
be under the personal direction of F.
M. Barnes, whose name alone is
guarantee Of high grade vaudeville.
The harness races are already at
tracing a great deal of interest among
the horsemen and some of the fastest
horses in the western circuit will be
competing at this big annual event.
Lieutenant Louis Gertson in his big
war scout plane will demonstrate daily
the very latest loop -the-loop stunts as
well as spectacular exhibitions of war
scout plane maneuvering. This feature
alone will draw many thousands Of
people to the fair.
The fair management has spared no
pains to see that the shows in the
midway are the very highest class
that will give no offense to anybody
and pleasure to all. The midway at
fractions will be furnished by the C.
A. Wortham shows and include all of
the best of last years shows and many
new attractions never before seen in
North Dakota.
The auto races scheduled to come
off Friday and Saturday, July q and
2S, are expected to overshadow any
thing in the line OF automobile races
ever staged in the state.
