Assuredly Polls vaudeville and

nant winner. With Ethel Barrymore
placing the leading role in that deep
study of human psychology as opened
10 vfsw in the Lifted Veip' there is
an appeal to the better emotions of
1 to-dramatic lovers which no pic
ture of recent origin has offered
Likewise on the vaudeville bill
there is drawing power upon the
laughter fountains. The big selec-
ton of acts which the Poll manaee-
men has brought to Bridgeport as
sures of a most profitable as well as
pleasant two hours time spent in the
. big house
For three-day engagement next
week the feature will be Evelyn Mes
bit ar<l her son Russell Thaw in
N"Redemption," a photodrama Of real
life In which she is shown in an init
mate presentation of events that are
closely allied to her own life. The
stars past life is vaguely suggested
Throughout and in the character she
"A portrays that of a woman who tries
to justify a mis-step made in her
youth, Miss Nesbit fulfills it's pur
pose with heart appealing conviction
The love of her son is made the key
note of this remarkable piotodrama
A large and pretentious vaudeville
bill with latest releases of Hearst

High School Students
Enthusiastic at Prospect
Of Military Training

~
The question as to whether there
will be military training in the High
school Is receiving attention among
both the faculty and the students.
That the students are very enthusiast
tic about 1t was shown yesterday
morning when many of the pupils were
late, giving as their excuse that they
he'd stayed out to see the parade. At
school yesterday nearly all the stu
dents talked about was the soldiers
and wishing that they had military
training instead of gymnasium.
Last year some of the boys said they
would sacrifice their athletics for the
training. When the question was put
before the Board of Education this
year it was suddenly dropped. The
reason for this is not known.
In many of the high schools Of the
state it is included in the regular cur
ricufum and In most of the private
institutions all over the United States
When Professor Lee, principal of the
High school, was interviewed, he said
he had no statement to make.
Many OF the boys at school would
like the training so that when tn,
time comes many Of the boys can dt
their bit to make the world safe fol
democracy. They hope that some &C
ton win. be taken at the meeting O
the Board of Education next Thurs
day evening. Bridgeport High schoo
has one of the best gymnasiums il
the state where the boys can b,
drilled. ~

THE DANBURY FAIR

During this harvest season the re-
ward of summers labor is coming to
400 boys and girls throughout Fair
field county who have been working
under the boys and girls clubs of the
Farm Bureau. Their products will
occupy prominent place in the DAN
bury Fair (Oct L to g., which for the
! first time will have a special tent with
many features to demonstrate to the
public the value of organizing young
America in a campaign of agricultur-
al preparedness. The Danbury Fair
| this year is the state fair for boys
and girls club work.
Prizes are being offered at special
exhibits held in towns of the county
and still more prizes will be offered
at the Danbury Fair, where there will
dens, canning kitchens, and pig pens
of boys and girls that will be a sur
prise to the public.
| Most of the exhibits will be in the
boys and girls tent and the pigs will
be stored in special pens allotted to
| them by the Fair officials.
/ Four cities and towns will compete
at the Fair for the silver cup offered
| for the best exhibit along the lines of
food conservation in ten square of ta-
BILE space. Ridgefield New Canaan,

out the country are urged by L. M.
johnson, club leader, for the Farm
4 Bureau, to write to him at the Farm
! Bureau at Norwalk, to officially en-
ter their pigs for the competition at
the Fair. Pigs belonging to the club
members will attract special attention

WHY SWEETHEARTS FELL OUT.


A. r. o. Y. writes: am a western
man Of twenty-nine and go with a
girl of twentyone. I love her dearly,
proving it in every manner. She tells
me she loves me and promised to
marry me. Yet repeatedly she sights
me, so I understand she does not care
for me. If I upbraid, ask her to
break our engagement, be just friends,
she refuses. Says she does love me.
Recently I went off to search for
work. She wrote me to come back,
that she was lonely. Same time
she flirted with fellows. I wanted to
break with her. She would not.

wasn't enough. It took a minute. If
he'd serious intentions, it would have
