SOLON'S SON \ SLACKER.
Byron Nelson of Wisconsin Failed to
 Register for Draft.

Madison, Wis, Sept. GA warrant was issued here yesterday demanding the arrest of Byron Nelson, son of Representative John N. Nelson, ac- cusing him of having failed to reg ister in compliance with the Federal Draft law. Young MT. Nelson is in Canada, and was there on June 5, registration day. If the federal au- thorities succeed in having him ex- tradicted, his case may be used as precedent for similar actions against hundreds of other Americans in for eign countries who failed to register.
 The case of Nelson stands out con- spicuously because his father voted against the resolution, by which this country entered the war against Ger many. A. D. Wolfe, United States at torney, asserted that he regarded young Nelson as fugitive from jus tice, and that he will be treated as such. He had plenty of time to make some kind of a report" said MT. Wolfe.
 "The charge against MT. Nelson" the prosecutor said Ifs violation of the registration act. It is his duty to register
 N.Y. "olAo e1IIeilIloH "e"o Ne'iiSN 'o the fact that Representative Nelson had asserted that his son was in Can ada before the registration date, and since then, and that in the section of the country where he was he had no facilities for voluntary registra- tion, in addition to the fact that he was not compelled to register abroad.
 He could have registered some time after June B." replied MT. Wolfe. "by asking for a registration card from his local board by mail. No steps have been taken yet to serve this warrant I am awaiting action voluntarily as soon as it is deter mined whether it is his duty to reg ister. If he does not return volun- tarily I will try to get him over the line anyway I can."

JARVIS PRAISES NEW BRITAIN, Wants to See Exhibit at the Berlin Fair.

Despite the fact that he is busy with the arrangements for the opening of the fair next Monday and also in con- nection with the celebration in connec- ton with the departure of the towns conscripts for Aver, Mass, Col. c. M. Jarvis will strive to be present at the meeting to be held in Mayor Quigley's office tonight, when the plans for making an exhibit at the State Fair will be made. Col. Jarvis said today:
 1T know of no community in Con- necticut that has done better work in food production than New Britain. The 1O7 acres of land placed under cultivation this year is going to have 0 noticeable effect. I visited the New Britain municipal farm on different occasions and I could not but admire the progressive attitude Of Mayor
 Quigley. It Is no mean task that he assumed and as far as can judge on the surface the citizens will have every reason to be satisfied with the results obtained. l think the mayors idea in
 establishing a piggery at the town farm is a bully one. Through it's me- dium he can do as much, if not m ore, in food production than he has already attained. New Britain's part in food production was a big factor in the cred subject of discussion at a recent meet ing of state agriculturahsts and the concensus expressed was that New Britain leads the state. Of course the interest of the manufacturer in food production was a big actor in the cred- 1t given to New Britain. Various man. ufacturers saw the importance of in- creased food production and urged it, but the New Britain manufacturers 1>I A,x <A>i- tematic cooperation. The people who will visit our fair from all parts of the state will be interested to see results obtained and we will make the New Britain section a special feature of our fair next waek
