County Agent Davis Among Those at
 New York Exhibit

Apple growers throughout this sec ton of the state are vitaily interest. ed in the Eastern and Atlantic states fruit show which opens tomorrow night at the Grand Central Palace in New York City and is to continue all next week County Agent F. L. Davis and a delegation of members of the Quinebaug Valley Fruit Growers Association will be present at the opening.
 The exhibit is the first and the most important of it's kind 10 be held tn the east. It has been designed to de m0nstrate to New York and the eastern states that no better fruit is grown than on the Atlantic seaboard. For some years the western fruit growers, despite distance and freight. have been dominating the eastern fruit market. Eastern fruit men de- clare that this is due t0 che clever packing and marketing methods of the western growers rather than tO aHy real superiority of the fruit grown.
 New York. Pennsylvania, Ns@ ter sey, Maryland, Delaware. the Caro- linas, as we'll as the New England states. will be represented at the fruit exhibit.

NO ARmIsTlcE OBSERVANCE
Handiesps Force American Legion ts
 Omit Usual Features

A series of unfortunate handieaps have forced the members of Anselm Mayotte Post. American Legion, to omit any public observance of Ar mistice Day this year. it was the plan of the Post to dedicate the new bridge over Little River to the mem org of Harry Hopkins, q Putnam soldier who fell fighting in the Ar gonne, but owing to the fact that work on the bridge has been delayed, the dedication has been postponed until spring.
 The annual dance of the Legion on Armistice Night has also been abandoned owing to the definite closing of Union hall to the public. Armistiee Day parades have never been the success that the Post has wanted them to be and many Of the ex-seryice men are very much ayerse to marching go that this feature, too, has been omitted.

CALL OFF EXPOSITION
No Winter Show at Hartford State
 Armory This Winter

The Connecticut Winter Exposition will not be held this season, although plans are already under way for a big- ger and better exposition than ever in January 1925. This decision was reached hv the executive committee at a meeting held Thursday, Nov. |, 1 in the office of the state board of agriculture. of which Leonard II. 1 Healey of North Woodstock is sec retary
 Two reasons are given by the com mittee for it's action. which every member regretted the necessity of talk ing Gl The resignation of the trades manager, and (21 the lateness of the date at which the use of the state armory was secured.
 Prof. William r. Kirkpatrick. who has been trades manager for the past five years, resigned because of pres sure of work at the Connecticut Agricultural College and the EXperi- ment Station. Although determined efforts were made by the committee to secure another manager. they were unsuccessful in finding an ex- perienced person to act.
 Plans are already under way for an exposition in January 1925. Active work will be started early in the spring and the executive committee promises an exhibition, better and big ger than ever.
 After careful consideration t was the unanimous opinion of the com mittee that 1t was advisable to omit the Exposition this year owing to unexpected personnel changes in the management and on account of the shortness of time. It was also agreed that a more determined effort be made to have d better exposition in 1925 than has been held heretofore.

Ii is my conviction that South eastern Alaska. particularly the dis trict lying between Petersburg, ket- ture In the past and until the pres ent season, the existing spruce mills of Ketchikan, Wrangell Craig, Pet ersburg and Juneau operated only in the spring, summer and a portion Of the fall. season not to exceed six or seven months on the average. Their output was consumed locally, going principally to the fishing and mining industries. Parcel shipments of shop and clear spruce by the established steamship lines were made to Seattle, thence east as far as the Middle Western states. the East and as far as the British Isles. During the war period, considerable airplane spruce of excellent quality was purchased by the government
 The business has really been stag mated in the past owing to the compe- titien with Puget Sound mills. for warding consignments of box shocks and common lumber to Southeastern Alaskan points cheaper than Alaska mills could manufacture the same ar ticle, this occurring at periods when there was an over-abundance of un- salable common lumber in the Puget Sound district. This, I feel, will be eliminated in the future, possibly by improved logging and manufacturing methods. The greatest drawback tc Alaska is that of transportation The existing rate on the two established steamship lines plying between Seat tie and Alaska makes it impossible for these mills to ship their entire output exclusive of common grades and compete with the Puget Sound mills. At present it can only be done by special shipments of high grade stock as above mentioned. The sale of the entire mill output is the only solution, as I view it. The present population, the existing in- dustries and the anticipated popula- ton with resultant developments for the next 10 years will not eliminate this situation. It Is solely a matter of transportation and that will re quire lumber carriers either sailing or power vessels which will go di- rectly to these mills and load to capacity with all grades from mer- ehantable to clears, together with lath, clear poles and piling. These boats to go directly from Alaskan points to Australia or to the Atlantic via the Panama Canal The relative distances from Alaskan and Puget Sound points to Australia are almost identical although the approximate distance from Seattle to Alaskan mills is 750 miles.
 Handling the output of these mills In this way would assure not only the mill men but the logger as well, a dependable operation from April to November enabling them to main tain efficient organization, justify the installation of many improvements in machinery and labor. saving de. vices for the handling of their prod uct and, above all, guarantee them a satisfactory return on their invest

SALTS FINE FOR
 ACHING KIDNEYS
When Beck Hurts Flush Your Kidneys as You Clean
 Your Bowels.

Most folks forget that the kidneys, like the bowels, sometimes get slug gish and clogged and need a flushing occasionally, else we have backache and dull misery in the kidney re- zion, severe headaches, rheumatic twinges, torpid liver, acid stomach, sleeplessness and all sorts of bladder disorders.
 You simply must keep your kid neys active and clean and the mo- ment you feel an ache or pain in the kidney region begin drinking lots of water Also get about four ounces of lad Salts from any good drug store here, take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast will then act fine. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia, and is intended to flush clog ged kidneys and help stimulate them to activity. It also helps neutralize the acids in the urine so they no longer irritate. thus helping to re- heve bladder disorders.
 lad Salts is inexpensive: makes a delightful effervescent lithia water drink which everybody should take now and then to help keep their kid neys clean.
 A well-known local druggist says he sells lots of lad Salts to folks who believe in trying to correct kid- ney trouble while it is only trouble. By all means have your physician examine your kidneys at least twice a year. advertisement
