BOLD DAYLIGHT
 ROBBERY GIVES
 BANDITS S1,5OO
Three Men Enter Meriden Club Get Rich
 Haul.

Meriden. Sept 20-Three men with faces masked under handkerchlels and with guns in their hands lined up l6 or 20 men in the main room or the Silver Lake Room club house at the Berlin town line, early today, robbed them of about $1,5OO in cash and about $500 worth of personal trinkets such as watches and rings.
 Constable w. B. Gibney of Berlin, came here to discuss the incident with Chief Bowen as complaint had been laid in that town while all the men are supposed to belong to Meriden. The glnmen and Clubmen remain un- identified. Three automobiles be- longing to the men held up were dis mantled preventing pursuit when op- portunity came.
 The story ss related to the consta- ble was that the men were burSily dis cussing their questionnaires in the club house main room when there was a knock at the door. In walked the three men, their disguise excel lent. The barrels in each hand were described as being about nine inches fin length One of the trio yelled: Line up boys, and don't be long about It."
 Some of the club men thought 1t was a little joke and did not hurry and were inclined to joke. The trio, however, began to close in and prod the slow ones with their guns, and the men were soon lined up with their hands and arms elevated. One of the robbers then went through the pockets of each man with one hand, his other holding a gun. Cash and 1ewelry were collected. Some of the men did not want to give up watches, saying that they were gifts from their mother or valued merely as keep sakes and several saved their time pieces especially those who made the mother plea One man dropped his watch into his trousers but he was seen and ordered to step out of line When he did this the watch slipped down his trouser leg and was taken All the men had been searched and were taken to the door. and then the robbers stepped out and disappeared

 British Army Headquarters, Thurs day, Sept. 19, via Montreal - The ground over which the German coun- ter attacked the British at Moeuvres and Trescault is covered with dead and enemy casualties are estimated to have been 40 per cent. of the troops engaged. The Germans attacked in dense waves, but the assaulting ranks were moved down by the British de- lenders,
 Particularly strong were the Ger man efforts against the British posi- tions east of High and Havrincourt woods. Here the enemy reached the British position at several places, but very few Germans were able to get out alive.
 Prisoners taken by the British say the Allied attack was expected north of Gouzeacourt. When the British struck on a 15-mile line south of thG town, the Germans changed their plans and assumed the offensive north of Gouzeacourt with disastrous results

 This shows that at the present time the British have a fighting super iority over our troops in No Mans Land"

TIGHT LACING PUTS
SAND INTO YOUR SOUL

Before a gathering of wealthy
New York women interested in well
fare, the leading spirit of which is
Anne Morgan, daughter of the late
financier, Annette P-Tmann'
whose perfect waistline is shown in
"A Daughter of the Gods" William
Fox's million dollar picture beauti-
full was never achieved by artifi-
cial molding, spoke generally on the
subject of tight clothing.
We read much about the demon
women of the Middle Ages" she be-
gan, land, of course, to our latter
day observers they seem quite in
comprehensive. One is at a loss
to understand how a woman with
of Scots, for instance, could have
deliberately planned and gloried in
assassinations, Illicit armours, MUIR
ders and glory evil doing generally
until ones glance travels to her
waistline. | fancy if one of us was
pinched into a steel corselet to a
waist-girth of sixteen inches for any
length of time, and at the head of a
government, we should have small
conjunction about making others
as uncomfortable as possible.
"Of course l believe and hope
that that particular folly is well be-
hind us, wasp waists, thank heaven!
seem to be out of fashion for all
time. No articles of clothing should
be worn so close fitting as to leave
its mark on the flesh. l refer to
corset strings and stays. with their
often really cruel alterations across
spine and hips; to garters, with
their pernicious stopping of the
circulation; to shoe laces, leaving
ugly welts across the ankles; to
tight collars-not now much in evil
dence-and to even over close hat
bands, folly not confined to wo-
men by any means. The continued
wearing of tight clothing, even
though one gets used to it, gradual
ly puts sand into your. soul"

you some money and pay you the

FRUIT JUICES
take NO SUGAR
A Way TO Save Surplus Products for
Use in Beverages, FlavOringS and
Preserves Next Winter.

Washington, July 11-Homemade
juices take no sugar and may be
used during the winter months in a
variety of ways, according to special
lists of the United States Department
of Agriculture. One important use for
fruit juices is in the making Of jellicS
at time of year when sugar or its
substitutes may be moro plentiful and
when it is more convenient to do the
work. In this way freshly mare iel-
lies may be available all through the
winter.
Fruit juice may be pressed out of
fruit by means of cider press. spe-
cial fruit press. or other improviscd
presses; then heated in an acid-proof
kettle up to 10 degrees f. The fruit
juice may then be poured into ordi-
nary hot jars, hot bottles, or tin cans,
and handled by the same directions as
those for canning of fruit itself II
poured into miscellaneous no fes. it
is suggested that the fruit juice be
sterilized as follows:
Make cotton stopper and press in
to the neck of the bottle and leave
during the sterilization period. Set
bottles in boiling hot water up to the
neck of the battle, sterilize the fruit
Juice for 40 minutes at a temperature
of 165 degrees f. Remove the pro-
duct, press cork in top over cotton
stopper Immediately. If the cork fits
well, no paraffin need be used. If a
poor cork, it may be necessary to dip
the cork in melted solution of war
or paratIin. Fruit juices and apple
cider when handled in this way will
not "fatten in taste" and will keep
fresh for future use.

RED CROSS AID IN ITALY

Italian newspapers frequently con-
tain accounts of work of the American
Red Cross in remote corners of Italy
In the Island of Sardinia, for example
Captain Wright, of the American Red
Cross, has distributed many gifts to
needy families of soldiers. Among
these were 10000 yards of cloth for
children's dresses and thousands of
pairs of shoes.
The campaign against tuberculosis
in the island has also been taken up
by the American Red Cross. The ac-
counts of this work show that the is
landers are profoundly grateful to
the American public for this genera
sity and look upon it as new proof OF
American sympathy and solidarity
with her Italian allies.

KENTUCKY BLUEGRASS SEED
SITTATION

In Kentucky the acreage of Ken
lucky bluegrass stripped this year is
somewhat less than in 1917 However
the estimated production is much
greater, being 100000 bushels as COM
pared with 100000 bushels for 1917.
The quality of the new crop is
good. Although there is some sedge
and other weeds, as well as clover
leaf, and maturely, the bulk of the
crop is clean and was harvested and
cured under the most favorable con-
ditions and should be bright and OF
good termination.
Notwithstanding the fact that the
seed was stripped about ten days ear
licr than normally, there has been less
trading up TO this date than has ever
/ been known before \ small quantity
of seed changed hands early, mainly
among farmers. at about $1.50 per
bushel for dry seed, August delivery
This seems to be the prevailing price
growers are asking at present
Dealers say that fair quantity OF
old seed is carried over, and with the
new crop estimated to be much great
er than last year they are not inclined
to nay the high price asked by the
farmers. They seem to prefer to look
on awhile and await the development
of more outside demand or modifica-
ton of the farmers views.
The conditions would indicate that
the crop will not move as early this
season as in previous years. and that
unless there is a change in the atti-
tude of growers or dealers it is not
probable that much seed will be sold
before August.-Governme Seed
