WORCESTER'S NEW WATER
 SUPPLY MAY AFFECT PUTNAM

The city of Worcester is looking about for a new public water supply to fill it's growing needs. The city has it's eyes on supply to the south ward toward Oxford and the French river If this source should be util- ized it would affect the water rights along the French river southward to the Quinebaug and would affect the water rights on the Quinebaug inso- far as it would divert water that flows into the Quinebaug river thereby to some extent infringing on the present water privileges.
 Engineers have been at least as far south as Putnam making a survey or investigation as to how much the wa ter rights of the holders would be damaged, with the probable purpose of making a report, A man was In Putnam last week looking over the situation here

BROOKLYN JAIL
 NOT PROFITABLE
Number of Inmates Lowest In
 History of Institution
Jailer Fields Does Not Thiek Work In Truck Garden WiI Be Re-
 tarded

Under a Brooklyn date line in the Monday edition of the Hartford Cosrant appeared the following com psanication regarding the Windham county jail:
 By tomorrow night the number of prisoners in the Windham county jail in this place will be the lowest in the history of the institution. The num- Der will be less than nineteen. The nearest Co that number was on July 20. twenty-one, which was tied in 1910 The highest number of prison CTS was in 1901 when the number was 119
 This morning there was total of twenty-three prisoners at the jail Of that number sixteen were serving sen tences mostly for intoxication, one half having been sent up before July l, 1919. The other six are bound over prisoners. Three prisoners were iib- erated this evening and one more will get his passports tomorrow. There is one woman in the jail.
 The small number at the jail is said to be due to the enforcement of the wartime prohibition amendment. There were times when half dozen men would be sent to the jail from Va rious towns of the county in license times Jailer Arthur S. Fields said this afternoon. that there were but seven men sent up for intoxication since July divided between Wilhmantic. Putnam and Killingly.
 Jailer Fields said that he did not believe that the scarcity of prisoners would retard the work in the large truck gardens of the jail. This year only half of the usual amount of farm space was planted. The real harvest ing has not started as yet.
 Windham county officials have al ways been pleased over the fact that the iailer in this place was one of the few in the country that showed a balance above expenses which offset the debit side of the Windham Coun- tv Temporary Home. As the revenue from the labor of prisoners who were "farmed out" has been cut of since prohibition reduced the number of iail inmates. the institution will not make as gocd financial showing as heretofore. It means that county tax will have to be levied in the fu- ture on the fifteen towns of the eoun- ty in addition to the increased taxa tion in general in those towns.

Only a few more days. Next week Wednesday Woodstoek's big one day far will be in full blast with big variety of wholesome attractions
 This is one of the very few old time fairs and cattle shows and this is what brings the people from miles around There is no lack of interest .a horses and cattle just because the automobile is so popular. Perhaps there is even more interest than ever before, for horses and oxen are not seen so frequently upon the street But you can see them at Woodstock Far and you will see some good ami mais
 There is one feature of this country far that always appeals to the older people. They get together for the tig day and visit It is meeting place for those who seldom see each other during the year. and t is a real old time talk-fest day.
 The young folks perhaps don't care 50 much for visiting. They have not been forgotten and there is something for them. A circus of trained ponies, dogs and sheep Is one of the numbers on the program and is said to be one of the best animal entertainments in the country Then there is the beau s.gul horses which will be seen in some fancy riding stunts Added to this is some good horse racing and there is a complete program that will please all. Woodstock has a midway, but it is not vulgar show. and there IS no yanbl;ng. There will be games and sa,s and drinks, but everything that tempts the pocketbook must be on the level and return something for the investment. Popcorn, peanuts and frankfurters with cool lemonade and soft drinks always have an especially nica flavor when one has been out III the air all day. There will be chance to get a regular meal in the dining

COMEDIANS OF OLD GREECE
Statues Found In Tsrbs Show That
Funmakers Were Much Like
These Appiavded Today.

The finding Of some statues In an
ancient Greek tomb is an opportunity
for comparing the comedians Of old
times with those Of today. The stat
ues are believed to date back to the
fourth century B. c. They are quite
smsll-in fact. few Of them measure
more than six inches In height-but
owing to the careful modelling they
are still quite lifelike In spite Of
their extreme nge. These little fig-
ures represent the funny men Of that
time. and 1t Is curious to note the re-
semblance to the oddities Of Charlie
Chaplin.
One associates flowing robes and
stately walk with the Greek actors.
but these players ere shown wear
ing short trousers and with an Oh
vious caricature If 4 stately gait.
Nothing was sacred from these come
d!ans; even the greatest men Of the
day were subjects for their wit. which
they carried to extremes. A good ex.
ample Of this Is statue Of one Of the
funny men as Hercules. who was uni
verxally admired and venernted in an
cient Greece. He Is shown wearing
his leopard skin lightly over one
shoulder. with his finger In his
mouth. looking coquettishly round
him.

1t Is scarcely surprising. then. that the
story Of how touch has been nnintnin-

the allied armies Of the Near East and
the gallant remnants of the Serbians
and Montenegrins who were hidden
among their mountain fastnesses. md
Of how they were supplied with arms
and cartridges by airplane. has hardly
attracted attention. There has been

fact. We are not told how and from
where the machines carried out their
mission. Of how many were engaged
in the task of supply. or Of what ef-
feet their wonderful performances
may have had on the situation by keep
Ing up the spirits Of the gallant few
who have held out against the enemy
