FIREMEN'S CARNIVAL
STARTS TOMORROW
Annual Affair Given By Carlisle
Fire Company Promises To
Be The Best Ever.
FARMERS ARE RESPONDING
Poultry Booths This Year Will Be
Amply Supplied By Farmer
Friends Of The Company.

The Annual Fair and Carnival, Civ
en- by the Carlisle Fire Company, of
Milford, will start tomorrow evening
and continue all of next week; clos
ing Saturday night, September 29th.
The affair this year promises to be the
best ever given by the local fremen,
and only good weather remains to
make the affair a huge success. This
week the firemen have had solicitors
working in the country among the
farmers, and those farmers who have
been solicited, have given freely of
poultry and farm produce. In some
sections, however, the solicitors for
the firemen have been unable to see
all of the farmers. This was caused in
part by the farmers being busy or
away from home when the men call
ed, and also in part by the late start
given the solicitors this year. The
firemen do not desire to slight any of
their farmer friends, and are asking
in an advertisement on another page
of the Chronicle, that all persons who
have not been canvassed, bring in
their contributions of poultry and
farm produce.
The Carlisle Fire Company, of Mil
ford, has never failed to respond to a
call for aid from any rural section, no
matter how far the distance. They Go
not make charges for their services.
Regardless of the weather they go to
the aid of any farmer whose buildings
are burning. This spring they placed
an order for another modern truck
which will cost $4,000. This piece of
apparatus will be in Milford on OctO-
Der 10th. Just as soon as it arrives
the present truck will be sent back |
to the factory to be equipped with
larger chemical tanks, pneumatic |
tires and other appliances which will |
make it more effective in fighting fires
on a farm. The firemen have spent
this money with the idea of giving
more efficient service. 1t is now up to
the farmers to give literally to aid the
fremen. Tomorrow is the last oppor-
tunity to show their appreciation OF
the efforts put forth by the Carlisle
Fire Company. Chickens are needed
worse than anything else by the ire
men.
Two parades will feature Carnival
Week. One, early Tuesday evening, IN
which decorated automobiles will par
ticipate. Prizes have been offered for
the best decorated cars advertisement
will be found on another page. Again
on Thursday evening another parade
will be formed. This will be composed
of Industrial and business floats, as |
well as firemen and their equipment.
On the carnival grounds this year
amusement will be provided for old
and young. The merry-go-round will
be in operation again, and many OF
the organizations in town will have
special booths as in the past. One tea-
ture which has been added this year
that should attract much attention, !
will be a booth in which real Indian !
blankets, rugs and other handiwork
will be offered to the public. These :
articles were purchased by Mr., Chas.
B. Varney, President Of the Carlisle
Fire Company, when he was in Colo :
rado a few weeks ago; and are the
work of Indians residing in that Wes-
.ern state. The rugs and blankets are
not cheap limitations, but are the real
article and have cost the fremen much ,
money. This booth alone should prove !
