The exhibit was placed on the second floor of the hall. Tables were laden with vegetables and canned goods and the poultry section was well filled with several species of chickens. The Southington "s1.000 Poultry Club" had a large display and the exhibit was one of interest The goal of this club is to raise s1.000 for its uses and it is fast nearing the sum. The Plain vile Poultry club had. an unusual good display. Raymond H. James, connected with the Hartford County Farm Bureau suggested taking some of the products to the Eastern States Fair in Springfield. Mass. for display purposes feeling confident that they would win some of the prizes offered.
 A sale of food and articles made by the cooking classes took place and practically everything that was offered was sold. There are 1S0 entries in the exhibit this year. The prizes won by the various contestants were awarded this morning. However, the cash prizes will not be given until a later date when special day, called Achievement Day" wifi be held and a program arranged for the purpose.
 The cooking class in charge of Miss Bernice Towne of the local Gramar school left this morning to attend the Eastern States Fair in Springfield, Mass. Those going are: The Misses Nathalie Case. Rachael Smith and Josephine Fortuna. This class won the Interstate Championship Cooking prize offered at the Berlin Fair last year and will compete for the state championship of Springfield. The fair will be held until the 18th of this month and the class will remain un- til that date. All expenses are being paid. They will compete against 10 other states.
 The local exhibit closed this after- noon at o'clock.

Eind Natural Purple DYE.

A shellfish exists on the Pacific
coast of Costa RIGA from which spe-
cially fine purple color is obtained and
used for dyeing silk thread. A report
received by the department Of COM
merce states the discovery of this nat
ural dye came to light through an in.
quiry from Guatemala, where some silk
thread imported from Costa RIGA com.
mands good price.
The dyers, who apparently are linn
tied to a few old persons. take the
thread to the shore, where the she'll
fish abound, and dye it there. The per
son who picks up she'll blows his
breath upon it, whereupon few drops
of greenish liquid ooze out. This
liquor is collected in an open clam
shell or other small container. After
a sufficient quantity has been collect.
ed the thread is passed through it.
The thread soon afterward, on ex-
posture to the sunlight. assumes beau
tiful purple color, which is absolutely
fast.
In ancient days it is believed this
dye was called "Tyrian purple" and
was even then so rare that it was re
served for royalty.

HIRAM EVIDENTLY A SN0RER |
Faithful Wife Thought She Reeog-

An amazingly fat couple boarded a
sleeping car just before the train
pulled out of the Pennsylvania station
in New York, and soon retired, the
woman taking the lower berth and the
man the upper of section. 1t was
necessary to enlist the aid of the por-

his lofty couch, but it was accom-
plished and the car presently became
quiet.
Some time during the night the
train was held up on siding, and, as
it happened, the sleeping car was
stopped right alongside a car loaded
with uncomfortable and loudly protest
ing hogs. the noise of whose lamenta-
lions assembled to the stars.

cards, also, are scarce.
A few weeks ago there was discov-

now almost no demand. They are be

the small charge for the envelope
with a distinguishing cancellation
mark over the stamp. More recently
the post Office department began to

QUICK CHANGE or CLIMATE
Traveller in Arizona Gets Variation
With Comparatively Little
Physical Exerticn.

In climbing from the Painted desert,
which lies at the foot Of San Francisco
mountain in Arizona, to the summit of
that peak, perhaps % miles away, you
experience as much change of climate
and scenery and pass through as many
different zones of life as you would in
travelling from southern Sonora to the
region of Hudson bay.
This is due to the fact that altitude
has the same effect on climate as lati-
tude. If you climb 500 feet upward
you have achieved the same change
Of climate as though you had gone 2
degrees north. The result is that a
mountain top in Arizona 1900 feet
high above sea level has climate
like that at the edge of the arctic cir
Gle. Moreover, many of the same
plants and some of the same birds
that live in the subarctic regions are
found on top of San Francisco peak
relics of that distant age when most
of North America was covered by an
ice cap and had an arctic climate.
The desert at the foot Of San Fran
cisco peak is one of the deadest and
hottest places on earth. Great areas
of it are without sprig of vegetation.
There are vast beds of brightly col
ored pebbles cleaning in the sun,
great barren sand flats, ranges of hills
that are stained bright red and blue
with minerals. but show not touch
Of living green. The heat is terrific
and incessant.
Leaving this region in the morning.
by noon. you find yourself on the noun
tain slope in an arid region supporting
low scrubby forest of juniper and
nut pine. Two hours later you have
entered an entirely different zone, and
are riding through beautiful open
forest of yellow pine, with trees hun
drcd feet high. This gives way to
forest of fir. which is dense and damp,
with heavy underbrush along the
streams. Here birds and squirrels
abound, and you may glimpse deer and
bear
AS you continue upward the timber
again dwindles in size. You pass
through region of scrubby spruce,
such as grows along the Yukon in
Alaska, and finally emerge on the tree
less crest above timberline, where the
climate is almost arctic and the snow
lies deep in June.

is to take one or two good sized doses
until the liver begins to act, then taper
the doses to just a pinch after meals
ut will insure good digestion, do

DODSON KILLING
. USE OF CALOME[
Says Drug is Mercury and
Acts Like Dynamite on
Your Liver

Dodson is making a hard fight
against calomel in the South.
Every druggist has noticed a great
falling off in the sale of calomel.
They all give the same reason.
Dodson's Liver Tone is taking its
place.
"Calomel is dangerous and peo-
pie know it. while Dodson's Liver
Zone is perfectly safe and gives
better results" said a prominent
local druggist. Dodson's Liver
lone is personally guaranteed by
every druggist. A large bottle costs
but few cents, and If it fails to
give easy relief in every case of
liver sluggishness and constipation,
you have only to ask for your
money back. ..
Dodson's Liver Tone is a pleas
ant-tasting, purely vegetable rem
edy, harmless to both children and
adults. Take a spoonful at night
and wake up feeling fine; no bill
iousness, sick headache, acid stom-
ach or constipated bowels. 1t
doesn't grippe or cause ineonven-
fence all the next day like violent
talomel. Take a dose of calomel
to-day and tomorrow you will feel
weak. sick and nauseated. Don't
lose days work! Take Dodsons
Liver Tone instead and feel fine,
full OF vigor and ambition.
