 DANBURY FAIR
Big ExhisH:s, Many Shows and SpIen-
 did Races.


 Since midsummer everythino has dated ''to Falr time" The thousands of people who always attend and any and everyone for miles around who has not before done so will be at the tifieth Daubury Fair, Oct. G-1L.
 Things are swinging along in great shape and all departments promise to far gurpass previous years.
 Machinery hall with its entries run ming under full power will show all kinds of mechanical helps for farmers and nearby will be tractors blowing ana in contests Of every sort.
 Buildings and tents will teem with live enterprises that will instruct and entertain. Cattle and poultry will present an array heretofore unseen even at this famed fair. The dog show will be a record breaker in quality and quantity.
 Both the Governors Foot Guard band, of Hartford, and the Water bury band will play all six days of the Fair and as always will add material ly to the weeks enjoyment.
 All kinds of concessions, including the eating booths. will hold forth and lively plaza Is in prospect
 Grandst-ld patrons will have an 0vorfiowing measure of attractions. There will be $6.oO0 in purses for the uEht harness horses to race for and 0fs Saturday the closing 2 day, autonao- bile races under the direction of the well known manager. Horace P. Mur- phy. of Syracuse. N. Y. will make a I--1ng climax to the weeks events. There will be thrills a-pIenty on a specially banked course over the race oval. An exhibition and pass ger carrying aer0piane will be there all the week.

ROME SURRENDER WAS THIS DATE
 IN YEAR 17S9

Today is the anniversary, in 1799, ef Rome surrendering to the Brit isil, when a Roman Republic was re- vived. The Eternal Cityi Byron's words leap to the Enemory,-
 While stands the Coliseum Rome
 shall stand,
 When falls the Coliseum Rome shall
 fall,
 And when ReRs falls, the worid!"
 Rome was founded in 753 B. O. The foundation of the city is attrib- uted to RemuIgs, says the legend, one of the twins suekled by a wolf, In her great days politically Rome doHl- mated the world, north to Edinburgh, west to the Atlantic, east to the Eu- pirates, and south to the coats of Africa. Her citizenship conferred a dignity and power that burst shackles. To the question why Rome so early attained supremacy, the answer is, Because the Roman had such com- plete control over himself. She stands today on her seven hills, Rome the Desolate, the majestic, the overpow- ering centre of great memories and great men. The early days of her kings; the intellectual power of the Republic; the mighty Empire of the Caesars that dictated to continents; the decline and fall, from her luNur- ious sins, and her overWh elmment by Alaric in the Fifth Century. From the tribune of the Forum ruined and still appealing, the orations of her Titans yet guide the human mind. And. above all the welter Of the des- olate places, scars the dome of St. Peters, a witness to the martyrs and it's gleaming Cross the signal of the Christian faith. Rome, the Eternal City,

THE STORY OF THE LONELY
RICH MAN.

A rich man who had sums of igold
Discovered he was growing old
was coming to that time of life
when he must quit it's sordid strife
And spend his few declining DAYS
In restful, less -exacting ways.
But when he sat him down to rest
He found his ease no joy possessed.
The hours dragged. the days were
Ions,
His nights brought neither mfrth nor
song.
And with the gold he'd fought to
He found that he must live alone.
He called a trusty servant nigh
Who often had gone forth to buy
The things for which he wishei. and
You long have bought my wine and
bread.
And bargained here in shop and store
For all that have hungered for.
Now I've another task for you:
Go buy for me a friend or two.
want the comradeship of men--
Men who will gladly cheer me. when
| am depressed, and talk with rne.
Go fill this room with company"
The servant left as he was -oId,
And talked about his masters gold
He tramped the streets both up and
down.
And sought to buy friend Or two
Who to a rich man would be true .
But all who heard him loudly ,..ered,
Refused his proffered coin and snesr-
And this he said. when he returned:
spurned.
With all the gold you have to spend.
You cannot buy one faithful friend"

Plan to Sell Merchant
Marine Is Premature,
SAYS Senator Fletcher

Chairman Hurley's plan to sell the
American merchant marine fleet now
in the hands of the United States
Shipping Board to private individuals
or corporations will encounter strong
opposition in the Senate, according to
an announcement by Senator Fletch-
er.
Il am opposed to announcing any
definite policy now regarding this
matter" said Senator Fletcher. "The
situation may change. We ought to
see first how the situation is going
to work out.
''The Army and Navy need ships
now. and besides we need additional
tonnage with which to move our ex-
ports. while theke is also a serious
shortage of ships plying between this
country and South America. Sale of
all the vessels built by the govern
ment will only mean that they will
eventually get into the possession of
a few of the shipping interests which

Urges Government Aid.

Mr.. Hurley explained that he would
recommend that the government as
,'sume three-fourths of the burden of
financing the companies or individu-
ais purchasing the vessels while the
buyers would assume the other fourth.
The government, also, would take
threerfourths of the insurance risks.
but as rapidly as the indebtedness of
the companies to the government
would diminish the insurance risks
assumed by the federal authorities
would be reduced
This process would continue until
the entire deot would be paid off and
the government would quit both the
marine insurance business and the
business of running the merchant
marine" Mr.. Hurley said.
