Twelve Hundred Delegates Coming
All Sections of the State Will be Represented Annual Con- vention of the Connecticut State Grange This City Opening Session be Held This Morning at Il O'Clock-Doors of the City Trown Wide Open to Wis tors.

For the next three days the doors of Norwich will be thrown wide open to the visiting delegates to the annual convention of the Connecticut State grange. which opens in this city at II o'clock this Tuesday morning. The doors Of Norwich are always open to visitors. but this week they are open wider than ever, if such thing be possible, for it is conservatively esti- mated that some 1900 grangers from all parts of the state will flood the city,. Now is the time for the citizens of Norwich to leave a lasting impress sion on the minds of the hundreds who will throng our streets for the next three days, and who will return to their own cities, towns and villages after the convention with stories of the hospitable reception they received during their stay in the Rose.
 With morning, afternoon and even ing sessions of the grange annual, with the many points of interest, the majority of historic significance, which Norwich has to show, with the bustling stores in the shopping district, there will be something to keep the dele gates busy every minute, and if time should perchance fall heavily on their hands it will not be the fault of the committee in charge of the convention. for they have exerted themselves to their utmost to provide for the com fort and entertainment of the gran gers.
 The State Grange Headquarters.
 The office of the Chamber of Com merce of Norwich, Conn, Inc, will be the state grange headquarters, as is indicated by a large sign on the front of the Chamber of Commerce build ing. Here the delegates will be di- rected by Boy Scouts on their arrival in the city to receive rooming as- signments provided they have not made arrangements of their own for entertainment over night. As each delegate registers at the headquarters he or she will be presented a booklet entitled The Rose of New England, and when these are exhausted the delegates will be presented booklets entitled Eastern Connecticut. The books are to be distributed by the Chamber of Commerce under the di- rection of Secretary Herbert R. Branche.

AT THE DAVIS THEATRE. Vaudeville and Moving Pictures.

An up-to-the minute minstrel act a whir1wind acrobatic and cycling act, and singing, dancing and costume change speciality, with the usual Tri- angle feature film and cartoon photo story of Hans und Fritz, is the big bill that the Davis theatre management are showing for the first half of the week. It is one of the cleanest and best bills brought to Norwich by the Davis theatre for some months and it met with decided approval on the part of the crowded houses at each of the three performances on Monday. The minstrel show is presented by Johnson Brothers and Johnson, a. trio of orig fnal and genuine comedians who brought down the house. All three have very pleasing voices and are heard in several well rendered selec- tions. The acrobatic and cycling act is staged by Waltuor and the Prince ton Girls, wonders in their line. Lil- lian Morley and the Mccarthy Sisters are billed as dancers and singers of merit.
 The Triangle feature photop1ay Is entitled The Criminal and is a. touch ing story of life in sunny Italy and bust1ing New York. The cartoon pic ture was a scream and portrayed Hans and Fritz up to their old tricks on the unsuspecting and innocent captain, who managed to get in wrong with a lion and monkey loaded with CO., cOanutS.

ing laws. the prosecuting agents who are appointed to prosecute violations of the liquor traffic should be ap- pointed by the judges of the local courts, whether any change is made in the licensing laws or not, as they have too many duties to perform that con fiict with the work of the county com missione.
 Suggestion has been made that the county sheriffs should be appointed by some state power and either return to their old historic name of marshal. or retain their present title. Their whole duty is to the state and they are em- ployed by the state to maintain order In he courts, and by lawyers to serve legal documents. This change Is not essential, but it is wise.
 We have now disposed of all the f. nancial work of the county and plac- ed it either in the state or town where 1t belongs and the county commission can and should be abolished.
