The man or woman with a fad who seeks to get in communication with others of kindred interest finds a ready means in the Want Ads.
 The pet stock fancier, the owner of blooded dogs, cats or other ami mals, the china, stamp or coin collector-all are glad to exchange or buy from one another.
 It's an easy matter to reach those of kindred fads through the Wants.
 It's remarkable how varied are the appeals in the Want Ads.

e Waterville, Sept. 1.-The annual
Central Maine Fair was opened in
this city today under very suspicious
circumstances and in the afternoon
and early evening the crowds on the
grounds numbered close to 5000 peo-
pie. Although the temperature was
bit high the sky shone brightly and
it was a delightful day to be out of
doors.
BY noon the fair in all its de-
partments was in full swing and
from then until late Thursday even
ing there was something doing every
minute.
But despite the pleasantness of the
day and the success of the Fair their
enjoyment was married by two
things. The first occurred when
Fred E. Barron, 81, dropped dead in
front of the grandstand about two
o'clock when he was driving a pair
of pulling horses. The second hap
pened when, in the second heat of
the 2.26 trot and pace two of the
drivers came together and as a re-
suit, Buster Richardson of this city
suffered "a broken collar bone and
three broken ribs, while Robert
Waite sustained a broken ankle. The

Would Provide for
Future Strikes in
Hard Coal Settlement

Philadelphia, Sept. 1.-(AP)-
Anthracite operators tonight en-
phasized the need to insist that a
settlement of the suspension begin
ming today shall include measures
for avoiding future strikes"
w. w. Inglis, in statement to this
effect which he made public in
Scranton as chairman of the anthra-
cite operators coal committee, as
sailed the action of the mine workers
in stopping work because no con-
tract had been negotiated to replace
the one which expired last midnight.
Hard coal operators in informal
discussion of the conference of John
Hays Hammond with President
Coolidge at Swampscott, Mass, on
the coal situation took issue with
some of Mr.. Hammond's reported
proposals. They did not believe the
government should take over and
operate mines in time Of industrial
conflict, as Mr.. Hammond was re-
ported to have advised the president
to urge upon congress.
"If men won't work" they said,
"even the government can't make
them. If the men won't work, the
operators can run them satisfactorily
with the government"
At the same time a movement was
reported under. way today among
various union groups in the region
to revive the question of nationals
cation of coal mines, hackers of the
movement, it was said, wished to
continue along the line taken by the
naturalization committee appointed
by the United Mine Workers of
America several years ago.
None of the international officials
of the United Mine Workers, it was
observed. has officially endorsed the
committees proposals.
GENERALIZATION today of an army
of las, 900 mine workers without in
cident in less than "a hours after the
anthracite suspension was officially
declared effective was taken to sub
stsntiate claims that the stoppage
will prove to be a clean one.
E. w. Parker, director of the an
thracite bureau of information, to-
day estimated that 100000 gross
tons of anthracite had been produce
ed since April /. He figured the an
rual net consumption at 1O,0OO,O0O
gross tons. There should be enough
coal available at the present time
to keep the country going until the
midd of January, In his opinion.
