Windham County
 Agricultural News

The annual tour of the State Pom ological Society will start in Wind ham County.
 It is evident that the state organ nations field trip committee feels that Windham County has something worth seeing. The progressiveness and the accomplishments of the Quin- ebaug Valley Fruit Growers Asso- citation has stamped the zreit growers in this section as progressive.
 The present plans of the state com mittee are to start the trip at the Iapsley orchard in Pomfret. This orchard is nearly 40 acres in size and is the largest in the county At least two other stops will be made in Wood stock and one in the south end of Worcester County before proceeding Co Springfield for the night. Two days during the week of August 6th is the time planned for this field trip.
 It is & deserving compliment to have the fruit men visit Windham County, and the leading orchardists intend to have the visitors 90 away with a good impression of an industry that is making real progress.

The Long Island Railroad has ad- opted a policy which will appeal to travellers. When for any reason a block occurs, the reason will be ex- plained to passengers by announce ments in each car. The common practice of all employees on all roads is to simulate ignorance. This atti- tude is encouraged by the railroad officials. Now whether the trouble is due to hot box, broken brake beam, defective signals or what not, the de- lay will be explained in the belief that the public will readily excuse the de- lay when 1t knows the cause.

clared. Examination Of pair OF
trousers belonging to one man under

they had been torn. The material.
Deputy Subira said. corresponds with
that found hanging on the fence.
Deputy Subira also stated that a
pair of shoes for d in the possession
of one man tailed with footprints

shoe from which the tin had been
torn the deputy said. fits exactly
into one of the "blunt" prints on the
ground near the automobile tracks.
A pair of automobile pliers also was
found near the J.erma home Deputy
Subira said. wh'"h he believes belong

pressed the belief that developments
which will directly connect up at

Lenders ofLeague of Voters

merce. Rotary Clubs and Lions Clubs.
and other similar organizations.
The League of Women Voters
sprang into being to meet g. aat need
the need of an enormous group of
new citizens for instruction. and I'M
partisan information on public Ques-
tons. and also the need that the c0tin-
try has that the enormous new voting
force be utilized for public good. The
league had to create the methods it has
used of training in practical study of
citizenship. Almost no tools were
found to work with for popular edu-
cation of the adult voter. We made
our own methods, although we have
used all the help and advice that we
could get. At the present time, many
mems organizations are coming TO the
league TO study our methods.
Study Political Parties.
"1n no sense of the word is the
League of Women Voters a woman's
political party. Such an idea would
be ludicrous. On the contrary we urge
each woman to 60 into the political
party of her choice. The league covers
subject matter in which party divi-
sions should have no place. 1t teaches
tut ulotol. anu Vi our
political parties. and IT,. mart they
have played in our national life. We
welcome speakers from all parties and
consider all points of view.
"Yes. all parties means all the
political alignments in the country,
and is not confined TO the two largest
parties of Republicans and Democratic.
Voters should understand the aims and
purposes of all political parties. and
the causes that led to them. 1t is a
part OF the intelligent voters equip
ment to understand all political move
ments in our own country. AS an or
ganization the League of Women Vot-
ers is absolutely bipartisan and many
of its members are doing fine work in
political parties.
Miss Frank King. state treasurer of

81 ROSS TALKS OF
| EASTERN AFFAIRS

Sparks Lions were taken on
journey through eastern United
States by Silas Ross, Reno council
man, who spoke of his recent trip.
He paid particular attention in de-
scribing his trip to the large amount
of aliens in the east. In Indiana,
he said, a large number of farms
were let out by contract to Bel
gians who worked the land for less
than an American would consider
living wage. There is no provi-
sion in the Indiana law for the edu-
cation of Belgian children, he said.
"Chicago is face to face with a
race problem" said Ross, with a
steadily increasing population of
10000 negroes living in an area
of about two square miles" The
colored migration to Chicago from
the south was rapid, he said, and
the colored people were demanding
not only equal rights but extra
rights.
In New York he said there are a
large number of many different ma
tionalities who live in the same way
they did in Europe not caring to
learn American customs. The foreign
language newspapers were numer-
Gus in the United States, he said,
and each one was spreading propa-
ganda not beneficial to America.
He spoke very much in favor of
the proposed selective immigration
laws before congress if the original
American institutions were to be
preserved.

HAND LACERATED IN
AUTOMOBILE MOTOR

E. r. Miller of the East Ely ga
rage suffered a painful injury to
his right hand yesterday while re-
pairing the pump on high power
car. The motor of the car was
running when Mr.. Miller attempted
to make an adjustment and the
sleeve of his juniper caught in a
set screw and drew his hand and
arm under the crank shaft.
His arm was caught in such a
position that it stopped the motor
and it was necessary to back up
the motor against compression to
extricate his hand and arm. Mr..
Miller escaped a broken arm but
sustained a painful laceration of
his hand which required surgical at
tention.-Ely Times.

Conditions Of unemployment in Cali
