 Fair Opens Auspieiously
 Monday night-the opening night saw the fair ushered in under auspi- eious circumstances. The weather was all that could be desired, there were nearly 5000 people on the grounds. and upwards of 200 Elks from wiIli- mantle were the chief guests of the evening.
 At about 8 o'clock the visiting fra ternal men, headed by the Willimantic Flks' Band and standard bearers hold ing aloft the banner of the Elks' Lodge and a beautiful American flag of fine texture, started on their march 10 the grounds. On the front of their straw hats the marchers wore cards telling the world that they were on their way to the Putnam Elks' Fair. Many of them carried bananas on strings, and as they swung them in the air. sang that now popular ditty, .sYes. We Have No Bananas"
 The paid admissions at the grounds figured up to 2300. This was in ex- cess of the paid admissions on the first night of the fair year ago. The to- tai cash receipts of the night were also larger than the first night last year.
 There were three acts of vaude- vile. one team of dancers, tumblers, and a eontortionist; a man and woman trspeze artists and company of three delft in the manipulation of hoops. What they were not able to do with the hoops they used, is not worth mentioning.

 It would really make for the peace of mind of Governor Templeton if there was Q scarcity of stationery in the executive office in the capitol. Some of the incidents that have had the effect of creating discord between the governor and others, particularly the leaders of the general assembly, have had their origin in the aecessi- bility of letter heads. and in the liter ary facility of the executive ofilee. The latest is a controversy over a bill relating to the practice of medicine which Governor Templeton signed af- ter the general assembly had adjourn ed. In signing the bill the governor showed tha. he was in accord with the enactment of the legislature. That should have sufficed. IL was not neces- sary that he should file written doe ument, with the secretary Of state, giving his reasons for signing the bill. His signature proclaimed his approval of the measure loud enough for the entire state to hear. The filed docu- ment was entirely superfuous- It IS only when the governor disapproves a bill that he is expected to give his reasons The filed document was a work of supererogation and in this case it has accomplished nothing but to bring the governor and the leader of the last house into conflict, just as if there was not enough controversy

todrama, Wonders of the Sea-" the
Film Booking Office release, which
will be presented for the first time
in this city today at the Bijou the
ater, was made possible by the Will
hanson Submarine Tube System, and
presents both scientific and dramatic
features which will make a new era
in motion picture history.
The picture teens with enthralling
scenes enacted on the bottom Of the
ocean. Divers descending to battle
with giant octopuses and other mon-
sters OF the deep, are recorded on
motion picture films by a cameraman
concealed in the observation chamber
of the Williamson Submarine Tube
System fathoms below the surface.
The daring cameraman who did the
Photographic work is J. Rescher, who
has had wide and varied experience
in the field of photography for a perl
cd Of ten years, and has to his credit
the filming of rs outstanding picture
successes. For the past four years
Mr.. Rescher has been engaged as chief
photographer for J. d. Williamson

erizes the ]. e. Williamson undersea

WAGES AND PROSPERITY.

One of the illusions under which
some business men labor is that the
more they skimp the wages of the
workers under them, the more pros.
porous their business will be. 1t seems
like simple question in arithmetic.
The less we pay to our employed, the
more we will have for ourselves.
This, however, is one of those OBJ
vious things that are not true.
William F. Fitzgerald. who is nick
named Prosperity Bill" and is a
member of Boston firm, said the
other day: you now have manufac-
turers forced to pay higher wages to
union workers. If good times are to
last--and l believe they are-then
there will be higher wages all around.
believe there should be steady i'm
provement all the time in the stand
ard Of living of our people,"
Naturally. there is limit 1t is
possible to pay wages so high that a
concern will make no profit. But
there is also limit on the other side,
and it is possible to pay wages so
low that, in the long run, profits will
be reduced.
The only sensible American rule is
to pay as high wages as the business
warrants and to pay wages high
enough so that workers are satisfied
and enthusiastic.
1t may be difficult for the manager
of a business to know just where to
draw the line, but he is paid his
salary precisely for solving that diff
cult problem.-ChicagQ Herald and
Examiner.

WHEN YOU Toll TO PLEASE
EVERYBODY ELSE. YOU
NEVER PLEASE YOURSELF

Pleasing everybody is the most
difficult thing in the world" Lloyd
George says. "You cannot do it! And
if you try you'll please nobody"
And Lloyd George ought to Knowl
He tried it for long time, and fin
ally left the highest office in England
without having accomplished it.
But the most sickening thing about
trying to please everybody else, is
that you will never succeed in pleas
ing yourself while doing i'll No two
people are made alike, and they GER
tainly do not think alike. Therefore.
it goes to reason that you can't
please all the people all the timel
First begin with yourself. If you
can honestly and truly please your
self, then you can take your chances
on the others. But do not waste your
life in trying to please Tom, Dick and
Harry when your own conscience is
restless because you are getting no
satisfaction from your efforts.
If you can first please yourself,
then you have a chance TO please
others. If you CAN please yourself,
then you can look squarely into the
eyes of the "snobocrats" and tell
them where to get off

YOU OWE YOUR LIFE TO THE
SANCTITY OF THE FAMILY

Modern civilization is patted ON the
back by being given credit for many
things. Among them is the hackneyed
saying that We are indebted to mod
ern civilization for the development
of the race.
But before modern civilization was
ever known as such, and before men
ceased doing their courtship with a
spiked club. the life of the race was
preserved by the family group.
1t was before Christianity was ever
dreamed Of that Rayamana, an In
dian philosopher, said, ''Hor the
faithful woman follows where her
welded lord may lead sire nor sor
nor loving brother rules the weddec
woman's steps; with her lord she
falls or rises, with her consort courts
her fate"
And 1t has been that spirit of CO.
operation that has kept the family
ogether from the dawn of human
thought to the present time. One OF
the causes of the disintegration of
French family life is due to that lack
of cooperation on the part of hus-
bands and wives.
Marriage and divorce, ms such, can
do what they please, but if men and
women stick together" regardless,
the race will be preserved. But the
disintegration of the race is sure to
follow in the blasted footprints Of

Captain Stayton.
"Altho the bill passed the Penn

'By this change the state legislat-

to the Pennsylvania householders to

shows that the opposition of the peo-

don't you think that Betty can have a
taste of apple sauce? Why, just

of new foods, not when her body is
ready to take care of them, but at
the within of some member of the
family. Perhaps she should have
had that particular food weeks ago,
perhaps she should not have had it
for several months.
The normal artifcially fed baby,
according to DR.. Florence Powder
maker, who aas nutrition specialist of
the New Jersey College of Agricul-
ture, has made a scientific study of
infant feeding, should have tea
spoonful of orange or strained toma-

of water by the third month. The
amount should be increased gradu-
ally to a tablespoonful by six months.

may be given at 6 months, and by .
year the baby may be getting the
juice of fresh ripe peaches and pine
apple and the pulp of baked apples
or apple SAUCE.
Strained vegetable soup-about
ounce-may be started at months
and this may be increased to or 6
ounces by 9 months. A teaspoonful
of cooked greens on carrots put
through sieve may then be tried.
Bottle-fed babies may get ! level
tablespoonful of Cruel at months
and this amount may be slowly in
creased so that at a year the baby
may have tablespoonful. Don't let
the baby be chewing constantly on
crusts Of bread throughout the day.
Once day he may have piece Of
bread which has been thoroughly
dried in the oven.
Never add more than one new
food to the diet at a time. Start
with very small quantities. Feed at

should be offered at least twice a
