CAMP WILL NOT
 PREVENT COUNTY FAIR
Secretary Gilbert Says This Years
 Fair Will Outshine All Others.

The mere fact that the soldiers are using the grounds of the New London County Agricultural Society for a camp ground must not be taken to mean that there is to be no County Fair this year" said Secretary Gilbert $. Raymond to a reported Monday evening. .-On the contrary we ex- pect to have a fair that will outshine all professors.
 While no one can safely predict the finish of the Titanic struggle now going on across the ocean and into thrown it's vast resources that Hu- manity might be freed from the in satiate grasp of the insane ruler of the Teutonic empire nevertheless the sentiment of the Agricultural society, and it was the unanimous expression of every member that now was the very time when the society which fos- ters the agricultural interests of The country must stand forth and pro- claim to the whole community to in crops of every sort, both vegeta bie, fruit or livestock
 And the putting off at time like this would not help so much as it who has faithfully titled and planted his ground, watched the seed, given int othe embrace of old Mother Earth, spring forth into the warm sunshine, SHOlIQ Denu HIS every eHOrr 10 raise all he can on his plot and to try and raise -bigged and better crop than his neighbor. It is a little early to go fully into this matter but little later I will have more to say on this subject.
 Every home gardeners better half can GO her bit and send to the fair the results of her canning labors dur ing the summer Every indication points to this year as the greates home canning year in the history of our be the best ever.
 The Midway, for which the con tract has already been signed has has been entrusted to the care of Johnnie Jackel of New York city who has for the past two years furnished the attractions and the fact that the Midway the past two years has far outcIassed all preceding ones Is all that needs to be said.
 The horse races last year were run off in a prompt, smooth manner that delighted the onIookers and there was no anxious consultations of watches and wonderings as to what time the races would be run. This was due to the fact that the races were in charge of Albert H. Merrill of Dan vers, Mass. the starting judge, and it will be pleasant news both to the horsemen and the fair goers to state that Mir Merrill will officiate in the same capacity this year.
 Abel F. Stevens is a name that is known to all the poultry and stock men of New England. He was the man who did the judging of the cat tie last year and will pick out the good points and pin the blue ribbons on the lucky cattle this year"

 NEW LONDON Local Committee is Busy Making Ar engagements for Turnout on the Fourth.

The committee in charge of the plans for the turnout of the local Moose for the big parade to be held at New London July are very busy making final arrangements for march, ing with the Loyal Order of Moose of New London. The members of tho Norwich Lodge, are taking keen in- terest and it seems probable that there will be 8 large delegation go down to march with the New London lodge as in the past the New London lodge has always come to Norwich in large numbers.
 New parade badges have been or dered and will be on hand by that time. Any special kind of uniform will not be adopted by the local lodge but the committee would suggest dark clothes. white shirt and straw hat be worn as this would make better showing on an occasion of this kind.
 Whether the local lodge will go by trolley or train cannot be decided un- til the secretary hears from the mem- bers. This he hopes to know by the last of the week.
 It has been planned for small delegation to go down to the meeting of the New London lodge this We'd nesday night, leaving on the 6.45 car.

The stream at this point is very swift and young Reguin slipped from 8 rock into the water and was borne down the stream by the current. The boy, having just learned how to swim, was unable to make headway against the current and had gone down for the second time when Russell Carter, an- other lad who was swimming at the dam, noticed the Reguin boys danger and went ito his assistance Carter caught the lad just as he was disap- bearing for the third time and drew him to shore. Aside from swallow ing a large amount of water the lad was uninjured and was able to go to his home.

LOCAL COMMENT

The purchase Of a forty-foot 'front.'
age next to the Abbott corner means
a fine new bank building within year
or two 1t may take on the proper
tions of five-story modern office
block but the people OF this community
generally would prefer to see one more
exchange made so that the new build
ing could occupy the Abbott corner.
That Is the place for such a structure
for the old one OF the vintage of 1860
has served its usefulness and promp IS
an apology whenever loyal citizen is
showing strangers about the town. A
fiye-story department store which
would absorb the Abbott store, the
bank and several other departments
would be the ideal enterprise for that
corner.
Now that this county is to gravel
two main roads from border to border
1t 10 we'll to call attention to the gravel
north OF the bridges on the Third ave-
nue. road. This gravel was merely
dumped there without effort to deposit
1t evenly and without thought Of the
necessary clay for binder but today
that part OF the road is as hard as a
pavement and can be driven in the
rain.
Under the new law there will be
available for crawling in this county
from $4,000 to $4,000 this year If we
want It, Half of 1t comes from the
national government in the form Of
federal aid for road work which the
secretary Of agriculture will approve.
An equal amount can be taken from
the auto license fund Of the state by
the state highway commission before
that fund Ii distributed among the
counties. The county board has Sc
lected the Lincoln highway from Lee
Grand thru Marshalltown to the fork
west Of this city at which the north
and south roads branch and from there
the county road or south road to State
Center il designated for federal aid.
Also the North Third avenue road and
the South Center street roads to the
county lines have been included. It
will cost approximately $4,000 to
gravel these forty five miles Of road
and tho county must frst expend $780,
900 or about one years property road
tax on the permanent grading. There
II IN abundance Of lime rock in quar-
ries on tho Lincoln highway east Of
this city and north Of the town Of
Quarry for the foundation and there
are gravel deposits In Story county on
both the c. & N. w. railroad and C..
NJ & st. P. railway for the wearing
surface. On the North Third avenue
road there is gravel in the river near
the bridge and bank gravel in Vienna
township.
The town Of State Center offers to
gravel it's own street across the city
and one mile Of county road east. This
should suggest to Gilman, Albion and
Liscomb that they should get busy and
devise some plan whereby their roads
might be included in the graveling
project. Their roads would add twen-
ty-six miles more and 100000 to the
expense Of grading and graveling or
approximately $4,000 in all with $50
900 coming from the federal aid and
state aid funds. A bonus Of $500 per
mile from land owners and towns
along the route would raise $4,000.
leaving less than 100000 to come out
of county funds. The county road fund
