The refreshments consisted of fine

EXHIBITION OF POULTRY
7 ATTACTS MANY PEOPLE
Second Exhibition of Canaan
Poultry Association Better
Than Last

The second annual exhibition of
the Canaan Poultry Association
which is being held at the town hall
this week, far exceeds both in
quality and number of birds entered
that of last year. The number of
entries is over four hundred and the
Competition in the various classes is
so keen that even those winning
fourth prize feel that their birds are
pretty good.
Due to an embargo being placed
on the shipment of fancy live stock,
the local exhibition is the only one
bcig held in this part of the country.
Entries have been made from this
state, New York, Massachusetts, and
New Jersey and with the variety on
exhibition, one should find consid-
cradle to attract their attention if
they are interested in poultry.
IL. M. Hollenbeck, a poultry judge
of many years experience, judged
the birds and the members of the
association are highly pleased with
his work. Mr.. Hollenbeck is a poul-
try enthusiast and congratulated the
officers of the association on their
exhibition. Before leaving he ap-
piled for membership and presented
the association with five dollars
which is to be used for special prizes
next year. T. J. Enslin of Hacketts-
town, N. j., large breeder and ex-
hibitor of Columbian Rocks, also ap-
piled for membership.
Due to unsettled conditions arts
ing from the war and the epidemic of
influenza, it was not finally decided
to hold an exhibition until the last
minute, which fact undoubtedly is
the reason for the display of fancy
poultry not being larger still. How
eyer, the exhibition is big improve
ment over last year and it seems that
the association has every reason to
continue its interesting and highly
educational annual exhibitions.

BRITAIN DAY
Will be Observed on Saturday,
December 9TH

Following a request by Americas
Tribute to Britain, an American or
ganization of which Hon. Alton B.
Parker is chairman, the Connecticut
: State Council of Defense has thrown
it's influence behind the observance
of Saturday, December 7, as Britain
Day.
This observance will be nation
wide. 1t is designed to emphasize
the costly sacrifices in lives and
money of Britain during the war,
and the vital military and naval con-
tributions of Britain to the final vic
tory. 1t will also point out the debt
owed by the United States to Britain
in view of the latter's accomplish
ments during the conflict. 1t is
further hoped that observance of
Britain Day will tend to combat the
German anti-British propaganda
which has not yet been stamped out
in this country.

DETAILS OF THE DEATH
OF PVT. JAMES GARVIN

Mr.. and Mrs. Frederick w. Garvin
have received the following letter
through the Bureau of Communica-
ton of the American Red Cross.
Evacuation Hospital No. l

"Your letter of Aug. 20, to our
Commanding officer has just been
handed to me. l can give you some
details of the death of your son,
James S. Garvin, for it was / who
saw him during his illness and offici-
ated at his funeral. He was brought
in to the hospital on the 14th of May,
transferred from a neighboring hos
pital, to which he had been carried
the day before, the day on which he
was hurt. He had been thrown from
his ambulance when it collided with
a heavy truck, and had evidently
struck on his head. Capt. Heuer, a
Johns Hopkins surgeon, operated.
There was bilateral decomposition,
and his death on May 10th was due
to traumatic basilar and spinal men,
nights. A small fissure was found
in the skull.
'He was conscious when he ar
rived at Sebastapol, but soon went
into a state of coma from which he
never recovered. He suffered very
little. l have given you the techni-
cal account of his illness which |
copied from the surgical report.

accident, but it is inevitable that
with large movements of troops and
with the crowded condition of the
roads, accidents should take place.

at the time was. Ambulance work
often calls for more skill and daring
than the work of the front line.

American Cemetery on the hillside
near the hospital. His grave is neat
ly cared for. You will some day
perhaps come to see it, and you will
find it near the road next to the
grave of 1t. Bladgett, and next but
one to that of Major Lufbery, the
aviator. A wreath hangs on the
cross at The head OF the grave, with
the words To Our Comrade James S.
Garvin. The wreath is of course
like other wreaths in the cemetery
made of beads in the French fash
ion. 1t is not like fresh flowers, but
it is not displeasing and it does not
wither
My heart goes out to you and to
his mother. You are desolate now,

memory will be an increasing
comfort to you. He was a brave

HEARTS OF THE WORLD
Wonderful Motion Picture Presenta-
ton at the Mahaiwe

At the Mahaiwe Theatre, CT. Bar
rington on Thursday, Friday and
Saturday of next week twice daily
at 2:15 and P. NJ. the presentation
is announced of D. w. Grifith's
splendid production: Hearts of
the World. This mammoth Crit
fith's work is attracting audiences
everywhere of the calibre that ap-
preciates the unusual in photoplay,
and the applause that greets the
rapidly passing panorama of events
of the past four years would seem
to prove that Hearts of the World"
is duplicating the success of Mr..
Grifith's former masterpiece, THE
Birth of a Nation"
The cast seen in Hearts of the
World" is especially capable, and
the musical accompaniment by the
exceptional orchestra is extremely
valuable in furthering enjoyment of
the production as a whole. There IS
a theme running through the SYM
phony indicating every important
character, and every GESTURE is
timed with the music. The picture
might easily be understood without
titles, as some of the music, to
which everyone knows the words,
describes the scenes exactly.
In all 10000 feet of film was
exposed in making Hearts of the
World, but only 10000 feet are
shown on the screen. AS Mr.. Grit
fifth and his camera man spent days
and days cutting this precious film
every inch of which was a drop of
blood out of his heart-the great
producer had the saddest period of
his life. Every turn of the crank
represented the realization of his
desire,-th greatest picture ever
made, land to have to cut it dcwn to
an evenings entertainment was like
cutting off the ears of his favorite
child.
