Stafford Fair Opening Total l5,OOO

stafford Springs. Oct. 12.-Though clouds hid the sky Tuesday, crowd es- timated at close to 15.000 attended the opening day of Stafford fair. Early in the morning the crowds began to flow in throngs through. the gates in teams, auto mobiles and on foot, and. the stream did not stop till mid-afternoon. The midway held throngs that surged about the booths and stands. Apparently everyone found enjoyment the entire day.
 This year the midway is twice as big as ever before. Lack of more room is the only thing that has limited it, and the Stafford fair grounds are certainly large. Superintendent O'Halloran was forced to turn away close to 100 applicants for con- sessions during Monday and Tuesday. One thousand concession tickets have been given to people having booths on the grounds.
 That part of the midway near the two gates is filled by the Ferris wheel, merry go-round, notordrome and large num- Der of side shows. The rest of the mid way, which stretches all the way to. the stables, is taken up by eating booths, drink dispensories, games of chance which are not unlawful, blanket stands basket booths and candy booths.
 The big agricultural hall has, a great display this year of garden products, fruit trees and shrubs The center of the hall is occupied by show cases in which are exhibited fancy articles and needle
 work interesting to women Along one of the walls of the hall are booths in | which trinkets, candy and drinks are sold. The people spent the morning on the l midway. Every side show and chance stand had it's crowd. The merry ry-go-round ran merrily, the Ferris wheel rolled round and the motordronle, in which there was l an exhibition of fancy motorcycle riding, always had a ring of interested onlook- l CTS.
 1 Early in the afternoon the people
 crowded the big grandstand. From here i they watched the racing, track events ] and stage attractions, and although a
 breeze was blowing from the east they did not seem to notice it.
 The light rain during Monday night settled the track down and the breeze during the morning dried it out properly
 so that it was in excellent condition fol
 the afternoon racing. As result of this good time was made in the various races l The track events were confined to lo- 1 cal athletes and attracted lot of atten. l tion. A half mile for children under 1 13 proved interesting. The stage attrac
 tions were some of the newest obtainable
 and went well. Murray's trained dogs
 and the Tasmanian troupe of girls were

HARDING TO VERA CRUZ?

Before Making Decision @
Brownsville, Tex, Nov. 17.-An
earnest invitation from Mexican ofti-
cials to go into Mexico during his
voyage In southern waters has been
taken under advisement by Presi-
dent-elect Harding.
Should he accept his visit probably
will be limited to short stop at Vera
Cruz on his way from New Orleans
to the canal zone. He has been ask
ed to go into the City Of Mexico. but
is understood to consider SO extensive
trip impossible because Of en-
gagements elsewhere.
The invitation was brought to
Brownsville by Elias l.. Torres, who
said that in urging its acceptance he
spoke both for the Mexican foreign
office and for Gen. Alvaro Obregon,
the Mexican president elect. In an
hours conference with the senator,
who is spending here the last day of
his Texas vacation, Mr.. Torres made
a special plea that the senator be
present at Obregon's Inauguration In
the Mexican capital on November 80.
Mr.. Harding is represented by his
friends as weighing carefully two
considerations before making Il de-
cision. 1t Is declared that he is anx-
ious to take every step to cement re-
latiops between the two republics,
but that on the other hand, he Is de-
termined to do nothing that might
be construed as an international i'm
prOpriety.

Lisbon, Nov. 17.-Mello Barreto,
Portuguese Minister Of Foreign AZ
fairs, has returned from London
bringing assurances from the British
government that the Portuguese re-
public can count on the good will OF
Great Britain. He said that Premier

had insisted at the Spa conference
in July that full justice should be
done to Portugal.
A Lisbon newspaper man who in

him whether It was true that America
was disposed to annul the war debt
England had contracted with 1t, on
condition that England, in turn,
charge OF the debts due her from
small nations and contracted In the
war. The minister declined to dis
cuss that subject pointing out that he
had nothing to do with financial af-
fairs.

REMEMBERED AMERICANS

Graves at Suresnes

Paris, Nov. 12.-This city Of pic
turesque ceremonies excelled itself in
honoring the unidentified dead of
France and celebrating the fiftieth
anniversary Of the republic, on Arm
istice day, and the American soldiers
in their graves at Suresnes were not
forgotten.
The cortege for the unknown poilu
surpassed in splendor and size any
other demonstration that has been
seen in Paris excepting perhaps that
Of July IA, 1919. Among the march
ers were four American ex-soldiers,
members Of the American Legion Of
Paris, carrying between them the
Stars and Stripes. They were incon-
spicious and the flag passed so quick
ly that 1t entirely escaped the notice
Of some people. But it was there
and welcome.

Cuba. The trip would make them
satisfied with conditions at home.
Broadly speaking, prices in Hava-

mark in top notch American cities.
One cause, according to dealers, is
the unprecedented port congestion,
apparently with little hope of early
clearing, and which has resulted in
the ruin Of hundreds Of tons Of nec-
essary products. Whatever the cause,
the island is going through period
Of high cost, described by papers
