MIGHT PUT BAN ON
 35 NORWICH SALOONS

Proprietors of saloons in this city heard with no little concern on Thurs day night of the passage by the senate of the amendment to the agricultural bill empowering the president to de- clare a dry" acre within half a mile of munitions factories.
 If such a measure should be put into force here, taking the Marlin Rockwell shop as center from which to meas ure half mile zone, it was figured by some of those interested that at least 35 places where liquor is sold would be put out of business. It would come pretty near leaving no saloons in the city except those in Greeneville, Thamesville and the Falls.
 Along Franklin street there would be six, around Franklin square and adjoining streets twelve, along Water street seven, and westerly as far as Thames square and down Thames street nine which would be affected,

BARRED ROCKS AND
 WHITE LEGHcRNS TIE

The total production in the A4th week of the laying contest at Storrs amounted to S.55S. This figure repre- gents 9 loss of only 54 from last weeks production and is 1SS eggs more than the production ip the corresponding week last year. Richard Aliens Barred Rocks and D. A. Rallard's White Leg horns were tied for first hohors with 5S eggs to their credit. The Oregonsl were second with 5S eggs. Tom Bar Gn,s White Leghefns were a close third with 52, while Merrythougft Farm s. White Wyandettes were fourth. having laid 50 eggs during the week. There were two changes in the leading pens.. Richard Aliens Barred Rocks are now leading in that variety and pen 24, owned by Mrs. R. ". Stevens, Still water, N. T., went ahead of pen 26 and are now third in the White Wyandotte ciAss.
 During the month of September there is tendency for pejltryfnen to let the chickens take care Of themselves. Growing chicks should be locked after very closely, as overeroTding is liable to happen. owing to the fact that the birds are getting larger and need more room, Failure to provide more yeoH for the growing chicks, particularly during the night, will not only have a tendency to create deformed specimens but will lower the constitution to such an extent that the birds will not be profitable as layers. The most direct result of crowding is @snuffles" or fall colds. In most cases this trouble can be easily handled by better ventilation or more fresh air. There are three i'm portant points in handling chicks: fresh air, especially during the night fresh water at all times, and clean quarters; and at no time of the grow ing season are these factors more i'm portant than during the early fall months.
 The three best pens in each of the principal varieties are as follows:

100 MEN THOUGHT DEAD.
Explosion And Fire In Big Chemical
Plant Near Pittsburgh

Pittsburgh. - Probably 100 men
we're killed when an explosion of T,
N. T. demolished the plant of the
Etna Chemical Company, at Oakdale,
IN the Panhandle division of the Penn
sylvania Railroad, 16 miles from this
city.
Five hundred workmen in the ex.
plosives plant were startled by re.
port not much louder than the crack
of a pistol. 1t came from the soda
house, but they knew its deadly i'm
port, and as one man they rushed for
the nearest exit. Before they could
gain the open the very air seemed
to burst into flames, the earth heaved
and rocked and with a roar that was
heard for miles the long factory build.
lngs were hurled high into the air,
carrying with them ponderous equip
ment and scores Of men, A great
cloud of dust and smoke settled over
the scene, and through its deadly
fumes torn and mangled forms
dropped to the earth, many dead, but
others to meet their end in the flaming
debris.
