1917 sun-grown crop has been destroy

storm sound much the same as the
story of previous weeks.
The hail destruction has tended to
draw attention from the fact that to-
bacco outside of the path of the hail
storms is probably the equal of any
ever raised in the Connecticut Valley.
The leaves are clean and have body,
and the weight per acre is running
heavy. The grower who owns I'M

sold his crop can walk through Easy
street with head erect and chest ex-
banded.

SPRINGFIELD, MASS, Aug. n, 1917.
Hail damaged Massachusetts, and
Connecticut tobacco last week to the
extent of from $500, 900 to $500. 900.
This loss added to that of half dozen
previous storms brings the total hail
loss this season close to the So, 600, 900
mark. This staggering total is in
itself death blow to all hopes of an
abundant crop of New England tobacco.
In some we'll informed sources it is
estimated that fully one-third of the

MOST BEAUTIFUL GIRL
FEATURE AT LYCEUM

"Madcap Madge' is the title of the
new Triangle play selected for the
first starring vehicle of Olive Thomas,
called by Harrison Fisher the most
beautiful American show girl" This
play, which was written by r. Cecil
Smith and produced under the super
vision of Thos. H. Ince, will be shown
as the headline at the Lyceum for
today and tomorrow. The many
beautiful settings are a feature of the
production most of them being laid
at Palm Beach, the fashionable win
ter resort. Olive Thomas, the star,
is probably the most photogra phed
beauty Of the day, being one of the
celebrated midnight FrOlic' girls on
New York's we'll known roof garden,
where she appeared as Miss New
York. The production will give her
an opportunity. to display her re-
markable gowns. One Of the most
amusing scenes is where she makes
her entrance on a ballroom floor on
roller skates, much to the dismay of
her parents. Those supporting Miss
Thomas are Chas. Guma, Dorcas Mat
thews and Jack Livingston. On the
! same bill will be a new keystone

esting current events.

THE HONOR SYSTEM"
AT FOX'S SATURDAY

Only two days more elapse before
1.-THE Honor SYSTEM the greatest
achievement ever accomplished in the
motion picture field, will have it's for
NAL opening in New Britain, at Fox
Theater. The picture, which is the
masterpiece Of one of the world S
greatest directors, Raoul Walsh, is the
first picture ever produced In which
are featured three stars of the first
magnitude. They are George Walsh,
the man\who made the smile famous.
Gladys Brockwell the famous star Of
so many tip-top Fox pictures and Mi
riam Cooper, whose recent success In
1.-The Innocent Sinner" is but one OF
many personal triumphs that this
beautiful and dainty star has won for
herself.
"'rhe Honor System" is called by the
most discerning critics who nave seen
it, the greatest human story ever told
on screen or stage" It contains a
message more vitality important to hu-
mainly than 1.-The Spy 1t is more
spectacular than THE Daughter of the
Gods 1t is more exciting than THE
Whip. 1T is more thrilling than Civ
ilization," and greater than THE
Birth of a Nation" These are large
statements, but they are all justified,
as may be seen from the fact that it
has been decided to keep THE Honor
System" at FoX's for five days, begin
ming Sunday, whereas heretofore three
days has been considered long enough
for all big pictures.
1.-The Honor System" is not exag-
gerated, but is purely. natural, and
therein lies its great appeal. The in
cidents pictured are such as might
happen to any man-indeed there
have been men, and plenty of Them
who have been condemned to long
terms in prison for crimes they never
committed. And no one knows the
untold suffering they have undergone
while serving their time. This is one
of the topics touched upon In the pic
ture, but it is not done in any re-
voting or gruesome manner. 1t is
simply truth.
On account Of the extraordinary ma
ture and stupendous magnitude Of
THE Honor System" the Sunday
night prices will be increased.

of the youth in question, Brian Good

of every lover Of good, clean action
and comedy. He is the son of a mil
lionaire, and has all the money in the
world to spend, but gets rid of it in
riotous living, and winds up in the
police court. His father balls him
out and sends him to a construction
camp on the Tennessee river, where a
huge dam is under construction. And
there he meets his fate in a most as
tonishing way, for she is a doctor-or
doctress. if the term can be applied
and is called in to bring him out of the

anything but a promising beginning
for a romance. But romance there is.
and adventure, too, and plenty of it.

verge of one more horrible than the

"He's Always Tumblins Around.

wasn't more than two months ago

You would certainly conclude from
that response that my neighbor was
a most unsympathetic person, would
not you?
And yet, in regard to people she
likes, she is far from that. But she
doesn't like that man and, so, in
stead of plying him for his misfor-

that he is very near sighted), she
says unamiably that che is always

Patrons at the Connecticut State
Agricultural society's 65th annual
fair at Berlin September 10 to Is,
day and night, will notice the large
number of permanent improvements
made in the grounds for their COM
fort and convenience. The automo-
bile Show will be found in a perma-
nent building, formerly occupied by
the merchants display. The build
ing has been enlarged to twice it's
former size. The space taken for
the automobile show indicates that it
will be one Of the largest to be seen
at a fair this fall. The building will
also be used for the exhibit of ladies'
work.
The society's fruit and vegetable
display will be found in the Fores-
ters' building. The quarters will give
enlarged space and will make possible
a more attractive arrangement.
An entry of IS yoke of oxen has
been made from the town of Had
dam.
A new building erected this year
contains the electrical equipment
such as transformers, switches and
the like.
Manager Stearns of the midway
concessions announces the booking of
carnival attraction known as the
whip, a riding pastime which will be
new at Berlin. The space taken for
midway concessions is greater than
at the same time in previous years
and even now some of the concession
lists are getting ready to open for
business. The grounds now present
scenes of great activity.

They See Everything Those People
Do Through Their Prejudice.
I think a great many people are
like that. That is, they get preiu-
dices against certain people and then
view everything they do through the
blue glass Of that prejudice.
If the person disliked does some
kind act they search jaundicely for
an unlovely motive.
When they hear something that is
neither good or bad Qike the news
of the sprained ankle) they still find
some caustic, unamiable comment to
make.
If he does something really objec-
tionable they fall upon it with de-
light. repeat it, exaggerate it.
Some Caustic Unamiable Comment
1t is strange to see what good,
conscientious, lovable people will
permit themselves to wear the blue
glasses of prejudices.
And the worst Of those blue glass
es is that one gets used to them so
easily that one does not realize one is
wearing them.

REVELATIONS OF A WIFE
Ry AI7ELE GARRISON

thought the woman now known as
Mrs. Allis to be his wife, he had dis
covered that at the time she went
through the marriage ceremony with
him she was already legally married
to another man. In fact, the knoWl-
edge of this duplicity was one of the
things that caused his loss of reason
and his absence from the world for
10 years.
Eyes, my husband!' she jibed. "He
hasn't any real proofs that I'm not,
and he's too white livered to use
them if he had"
But I saw the proofs I protested.
Mrs Cosgrove showed them to me.
Legally, you are no more Robert Saw
arms wife than I am
L do not know why I was not
warned by the glitter of the woman's
eyes to avoid contradicting her. My
pride had been reused by her con-
emptuous goading of me, and her cool
assertion of her right to Robert Saw
arm angered and alarmed me on Lii
lian's account. I felt that Harry I'm
derwood's black shadow was enough
to fall between Lillian Underwood
and Robert Savarin without having
this "croacking thing of evil'' cross
their path.
But she didn't leave me long in
doubt as to my folly in answering her.
She leaned forward in her chair and
saw her fingers working in ner lap.
"And 1 can tell you,' she said in
louder, tone than she had yet used,
that by the time I get through with
you your husband won't know your
face. You'll be his legal wife," she
fairly Spat the phrase but he won't
be anxious to spend much time look
ing at you"
She put her hand to a pocket in her
gown and drew forth small bottle,
her eyes cleaning the while with a
light which 1 knew was born of drug
madness, reused by my unfortunate
words.

Never in my life have I been so thor
oughly unstrung and frightened. The
sudden awakening from sleep to find
the hand Of the woman I had so
dreaded over my mouth, the wrestling
of the promise not to scream from
me, her contemptuous demand that
arise. throw on bathrobe and listen
to her-all these things had utterly
unnerved me. Even my pride seemed
to have deserted me. I was horribly
afraid that in another minute I
should weep helplessly.
But the vision of doing thing so
humiliating to myself, SO gratifying
to this woman who sat opposite me,
steadied me. enabled me to seize upon
my sorry remnants Of poise and will

went on, as she drew up chair and
sat down opposite me. "I've got the

gave an Indifferent nod over her
shoulder at the outer door of my
room, which according to the chairs
we had taken I faced and she had

She paused and gave me long,
searching, derisive glance. AS 1 met
it I began to realize just what the
sensations of a mouse must be when
beneath the paws of cat. The wo-
man was childishly kloating over me,
prolonging the situation as long as she
could The conviction forced itself
upon me that Lillians surmise was
correct, that Mrs. Allis was addicted
to the use of drugs, and that in all
probability she was even now more or
less under the influence of one.
And you really thought, you and
your precious friend, that you could

tectives scattered around her house!'

go about business promptly, intelli-
gently, and with the optimism which
the situation fully justifies. If these

just as would be done in normal

GREATER PROSPERITY AHEAD

In business, prosperity awaits the
American nation-not business de-
preston or panic.
For two years we have had p%rosperi-
ty more universal than at any time
most of us can recollect.
Farmers have had good crops and
have made money. There is every
a to believe that they will make
even larger profits this year.
The entrance of America into the
war means a tremendously increased
demand upon the farmers for the
products of their toll.
Even though the government may
find it necessary to establish maxi
mum prices for the protection of the
consumer, nevertheless, it is certain
that this maximum price will be large
enough to leave the producer a salts
factory profit-probably a larger
profit so far as farm products are
concerned than in ordinary times.
Labor in some way will be supplied
to the farms. Production of food is
so essential that the government may
be depended upon to fill the ranks of
farm labor just as it is certain the
government will fill the ranks of
fighting men.
Study carefully the financial his.
tory of all great wars, and you will
find that business has invariably in
creased during and for some years
after those wars.
The expenditure of the vast sums
of money (such as the even billion
dollars $4,000, 900 ,OO0) recently ap
propriated) even though it be fo'
war purposes, stimulates business il
every other line. All of this amount
even the three billions loaned our al
lies, will be spent here in the Unite'
States.
All of US recall that two years o
so ago, many factories were not op
Grating, hundreds of thousands of la
boring men were unemployed, an
we were in the midst of a real bust
ness depression, even though Their
was no real basic cause for such
condition.
When the allied governments spen
their first fifty million dollars i
America for war materials, bushes
started to boom. The orders place
with the munition plants gradual
affected other lines of industry. La
toring men had more money to spen
for clothing, food and furniture
transportation lines had more bus
ness; the manufacture of the wa
! goods required clothing and clothin
required wool and cotton; munitior
required metals, and thus stimulate
mine production; the purchase

And when it was realized that il
