proved Methods.

In space reserved for the United
States Department of Agriculture al
the Trenton Fair exhibits win be sci
up to bring practical knowledge te
farmers for the improvement Of theh
stock and an increase in their earn

The Trenton Fair this year VIII b
held from September 28 to October

IN the operation OF farms viii be kept
throughout that period.
Among the topics to be covered VIII

The Government agents declare that
hog raisers OF the United States lose
$50, 900, 900 annually through hog cho%
era. Better sanitation and preventive
serum treatment, they assert, win
greatly reduce this loss. Sunlight
and clean surroundings are especially
recommended In combating the dis

Of products. The use Of horses as a
flexible source Of power for farm use

 Cause For Rejoicing
 There is cause. my friends. for re- joicing, even amid the solemn sur roundings Of Armistice Day. It is generally felt. seldom if ever express ed, for we lived amid the horror of war. and most gratifying indeed to see one of the chronicles of history, the specialization Of the American citizen: native Englishman, a native Irishman, men of Italian birth, Syri- ans. Poles. and Scotch. all now as na- tive Americans.
 The only native American in the old accepted sense was the Indian.

 ADDRESS OF WELCOME

uonored Guests. Fellow Citizens:
 On this day. momentous in the his tory of the world. it is most fitting that we gather here to pay tribute Co those of our townspeople who did their bit in field and camp, on land and sea. to preserve. for all of us, that peace and eontentment due the human race.
 And so we meet to dedicate this bridge in their honor; and what could be more fitting than bridge!
 1t is part of the main highway just as their deeds are part of the prog. ress of the world toward universal peace. IL crosses a rocky stream just as they crossed no mans land to pre- rare a way for those who came after. Above it. like the conditions before the war. are the restless, seething wa ters that. after passing under the arch. flow peacefully through the val leV. It stands above but Is not touched by the dirt of the stream. II is built ruggedly to carry the loads of inc future, just as our armies builded better than they knew in providing the foundation for a future and better civilization.
 A Substantial Memorial
 There are many kinds of memorials Perhaps building. but what dignity is there in the unpainted, uneared for hall of a disbanded Post of the c. A. R2 Sometimes a statute, often the evidence of the taste of an untrained committee; an offense to the artist, stained and dirty, target for boys to throw horse chestnuts at. Often a tablet alone. or a boulder. Worthy, 'tis true. but cold. But like the grand old Roman arch which has stood for hundreds of years, so may this bridge stand for a hundred years to come. A memorial dignified. useful. of intrin- sic value to the community, and art!s- tic in it's entirety. .,
 These tablets, two to record for all time the names of those Putnam resi- dents who answered the call of justice and right, whether from the bugle Of America, England. France, Italy, or other mother country. And besides these four others where our veterans may bring their children to show them what war was in l9i7-1S.
 A Daily Reminder
 This bridge will serve not only as a civic necessity, but also as daily re-
