UNEMPLOYED
 ORGANIZING
 FOR ACTION

London, Dec. British unemploy- ed are organizing for direct action. A general staff has been formed, it was learned today. The officers will wear red badges in the form of rosettes. Headquarters have been established at Islington to direct demonstrators in London. The Islington head quarters are constantly guarded by arnced men.
 Seizures of property by the unem- Iployed are taking place throughout England, but it is being conducted quietly.
 Gloomy predictions as to the Brit ish outlook are being made in Par iamentary debate upon the unem- pIoyn ent situation.
 One of the latest seizures was at Ayton where 500 unemployed seized the Municipal Baths yesterday. An organization known as Fedora ton Council of Unemployment has bee norganiZed. Madame Tring, one of the officers, declared in a speech receive the full support of the nation Fa1 body in seizures and other activi- ties. Local councils of the organ ization have already been established in thirty-sx borcughs Of London and others are beng formed.
 Fears of disorders led the gov ernment to adopt a policy of aloofness towards the seizures where no dam age was De1nS dOne to property.
 For the most part, the seizures were carried out in orderly action without interference by the police. In a few instances, however, the po- lice attempted to interfere leading to reprisal threats on the part of the leaders of the unemployed.
 Municipal officers of seven sub-di- visions of Greater London have been occupied by unemployed to shelter their families.
 More than 200 Vacant houses have been commandeered by the unem- pIoyed.
 The general staff of the +*Unem- ployed Army has formulated long lists of demands which have been sent to fifty mayors in London and suburban cities. These demands have been turned over to the Home Office which is studying the unem- ployment question.
 The unemployed are threatening to march upon Whitehall and to make a great dem monstration in front of Parliament building and the premiers official residence in Down ing street but the exact time of the demonstrat ton is not known.

2 BRIDGEPORT
 MEN WILL DIE
 IN THE CHAIR

Unless reprieved sometime during the day, Joseph Mi1ano and James F. Cassidy, both formerly of Bridgeport, will die tonight in the electric chair at Sing Sing prison. The men were found guilty of killing Otto Fiala. a ticket agent in the IntervaIe. avenue subway station. the Bronx, nearly two years ago. and for this crime were sentenced to pay the supreme penalty.
 James "Bul1'' Cassidy was at one time a familiar figure in Bridgeport sporting circles. He was arrested several times for petty offenses by the local police.
 Milano, who worked on the street cars here during 1916, has a more sensational record than Cassidy. He was arrested June 3, 1916, by Police man Thomas Reilly, after he had en- tered a South avenue saloon and shot up the place in an effort to kill Jos eph Flynn, Of Newark, with whom he had had an argument over a crap game. Flynn was hit in the wrist by @ bullet from Milano's revolver, and several other men were injured. Milano was arraigned in the City Court on charges of assault with at tempt to kill, and was sentenced to six months in jail He escaped but was later srecaptured and six more months were added to his sentence.

CHAPTER CXXXyIII.

When Virginia seized the telephone from Anthony Norreys and insisted on being the one to speak to Betty's com panion, Miss Moss, I felt that my sis ter-in-law's character had come to a grave test. Would Virginia think coldly and selfishly in terms of her. self2 Or would she visualize the sit nation warmly for Betty's greatest happiness?
 But when she talked over the tel ephone to Miss Moss, Virginia, was wonderful. She said that of us all it was only who'd been inspired to dis cover this way of reaching Betty, and mat some of us would come down in me morning. Then she gave herself to catechizing Miss Moss When she turned from the telephone her face wore an expression that was almost sheeplsh. It was easy to see that Vir-

The situation lost much money for the
agricultural society; it meant a sac
rifce of comfort for thousands

10 sit where they could see what was
going on. The thrOngs on the fair
grounds Thursday emphasized the
need for grand stand, concrete
one that will hold, not 1000 or 1000
people, but 10000.
The weather throughout the four
days was ideal-no clouds or rain and
not uncomfortaly warm. Only the
dryness made things unpleasant The
tremendous crowd of people on Thurs
day made the grounds a cloud of dust,
dirt and sand Eyerone seemed to be
eating dust, but during the excite
ment no one seemed to mind it.
Entry Day.
Tuesday was entry day. Secretary
Prehn and his numerous helpers were
occupied every minute. The cattle de-
partment was probably as busy as
any. Early in the morning every bit
OF stable space was taken up. This
may also be said of the poultry, horse.
sheep, swine and exhibition depart
ments. BY Tuesday evening the fair
was ready for the public. Cattle had
been tuberculin tested by Dd. G. A
Mills and his assistants. The midway
was up.
The Main Building
As usual, the main building was
filled with attractive displays. There
was an excellent display of grains,
grasses, and farm produce on the
lower floor. 1t was not as good as in
former years because the fair was
held earlier than usual and the very
extensive drought which had been
with us. had retarded vegetation so
that il was 2 wonder there was any
thing to display in these departments.
1t was a surprise to see the fine lot
of grains. potatoes. corn, beetS, on

took up goodly portion of the main
floor and compared well with former
years.
The space assigned to the Marathon
county asylum was filled with an eX-
eellent display of about everything
that can be grown in the country. all
grown on the asymlum farm and by
the work of the inmates. Superin-
tendent J. d. Christie took just pride

Condemnation proceedings have
been placed by the NJ and A R. R. for
the right of way from Abbotsford to
Wausau. This is, of course, good
indication that the road will be built,
but it is by no means certain one,
as many things may occur to prevent

$4,000 PEOPLE ALMOST TOO
MANY TO BE PACKED
INTO GROUNDS

II was generally supposed that the
County Fair for 1920 would not equal
in displays and attendance those of
former years, especially of recent
dates. This was based on the fact
that early in the season it was given
out that the agricultural society would
not hold a fair this year primarily be-
cause the grand stand had been con-
demned and could not be used. Later
it was concluded to hold the fair and
since that decision, the officers, A. ].
Peterson, Alfred Zimmerman and A.
W. Prehn, secretary, have left moth
ing undone TO make the event a sue
cess. They succeeded in having fair
at which exhibits were surprisingly
large for this season, with a midway
that exceeded in size and quality those
of by-gone fairs and races that were
excellent.
No Grand Stand
True, there was no grand stand,
the old one having been torn down be-
cause of its unsafe condition, notwith-
standing thousands of automobiles
were parked up against the railing
where the old grand stand stood, and
great crowds lined either side of the
track for over a quarter of a mile.
These people did not relish standing
in the hot sun but there was no choice.

the building was glass enclosed
booth for the exhibition of butter,
cheese, eggs, honey and other dairy
and perishable products. 1t was good
to look at a part Of the h. C. |. in
quantity.
Beekeepers' Booth
One of the booths which drew the
most attention was that arranged by
the Marathon County Beekeepers' as
sociation, which was in charge OF
Ira G.. Painter. There were cases OF
bees at work under glass, where they
could be observed and this was fasci-
mating to many. Many useful things
for the bee industry were on display
and circulars of general information
were given to those interested.
The second floor of the main build
ing was devoted in the main to the
display of fancy articles, needle work,
rugs, quilts, the culinary department; !;
county school exhibit; old relics !;
paintings and all departments had
very creditable displays. On this
floor Edison machines were shown by
Mrs. Jeanette Coates. c. w. Dern-
bach had booth showing the Inter
national Feed Company'S Products.
One very attractive display was
from the Rib View sanatorium and it
consisted of Towering plants for the
most part.
On the Grounds
That which drew the crowds and
made the most noise was the midway.
This was the largest ever known at
fair given in this city. 1t was a
blare OF trumpets, music, shouting,
ringing of bells. There was merry
go-round, an air ship, Ferris wheel
the whip, all the shows imaginable, an
Indian village, games of every de-
ScriptiOn, but there was no gambling
Secretary Prehn gave out at
the outset that gambling of any kind
was to be absolutely prohibited. The
stretched from the main
building nearly to the west line of
the grounds. On both sides of a
street about fifty feet wide tents
were crowded. There were many
times when one could hardly make
his way on account of the jams. Eat
ing stands were numerous along the
pike The midway was circus"
for the young and the old whether one
entered the shows or took a hand in
the games, it was diversion that was
appreciated. The Superior Shows
dominated, affording a variety of at
fractions such as the Marathon county
fair had not boasted for a number of
years.
The farm implement display took
up much space in the open and at all
times was being viewed by the crowds.
The Walking Tamping Machine, the
invention of DR.. Sauerhering, was an
attraction above the ordinary and
looked good to its owners.
Boy Scouts
A splendid feature of the fair was
the demonstration given by the Boy
Scout troops of the city. There were
representative of two troops pres
