the list of the identified dead early
Thursday night.
20 Missing
Death entered the Christmas cele-
bration suddenly, cutting off at its
height the program rendered by the
children of the n~eighborhood. The
last little girl had spoken her piece"
and a jolly Santa in red suit and furs
had distributed to each chubby pair
Of hands q little sack Of candy
while parents and friends who packed
the small one-room structure to ca
pacity looked on.
Santa reached for nj Of the few
remaining candy sacks. His arm
struck a candle on the Christmas tree.
The tiny blaze fell from it's perch
and in an instant a ball Of cotton on
the + G burst into flame. A rush to
put out the fire and the tree fell over
scattering blazing twigs. In an in
slant the room was in a panic.
Trapped
Men and women sprang for the
single exit at the rear and to the
windows beating out the panes, only
to find the openings covered by a
heavy wire netting, The windows
shattered, a brisk wind blew through
the room flaming the flames and the
fimsy structure caught like finder.
Many were crushed in the jam be-
FORE the door and it is believed that
most of those who persisted had been
inifiured before the flames found
them.
The injured were taken to Hobart
IA motor cars where emergency nos
pitals with volunteer nursing Stairs
ministered to them. Work Of reeoV-
ering the dead was retarded by the
lack Of water on the school grounds
with which to cool the embers.

REAL STATE FAIR
Movement to Make Exhibition An
 Educational Affair

1 decided movement to give this state a real State Fair is now under way actively iu every section of GOn- necticut, with the object in view of making the Charter Oak event an edu- cationnl affair, especially for the pur- pose Of encouraging the rural boy and girl to remain on the farm.
 Governor John II. Trumbull, in ac- cepting the general ehairmanahip, said: Agriculture is fundamental. Wealth wrought from the soil is add ed wealth to Connecticut. Decreasing numbers of farms mean higher cost of the necessities of life in our industrial centers. I firmly believe Connecticut needs visible inspiration to the rural boy and girl to stay on the farm and become a producer instead of coming to the city and becoming q consumer. Like every progressive state. we need & State Fair, and gladly give my ac- tive support to this most worthy movement
 The general assembly has recently appropriated BPS 900 for the purpose of assisting in this movement, and a state organization headed actively by Governor John H. Trumbull Is now disposing of bonds that will afford

HISTORIC RUSH OF '76
 REPRODUCED IN NEW FILM

Two great "rushes" across the con tinent mark she history of the west s development. The first was the rush of the forty miners from the east to the gold-helds of California and the free lands of Oregon. The second was the rush of i76 by the farmers of the Mississippi valley to the buffalo fields of Montana and Wyoming.
 IL is this later rush that forms the theme of Zane Grey's eThe Thunder ing Herd, which William K Howard directed for Paramount. It will be the chief film at the Bradley next We'd nesday and Thursday.
 The picture vividly recreates the old west of fifty years ago, Through out the plains of the midwest. huge herds of buffalo rSamed at will Then. in the spring of 1876. news spread that the hides were bringing as much as three dollars each in the east. lm- mediateiv there was rush Persons from all over the country and from all walks of life started for the buffalo fields. Perhaps the greatest influx was from Illinois. Indiana and Ohio.
 The story of The Thundering Herd tells of the journey 0f group of har- dy men and women from their farms in the cant to the vast uncivilized ter ritorv of the far west--of the hard ships they suffered. of the dangers they encountered. the obstacles they overeame, and of their ultimate success when they arrived at their destina. tion.
 The picture is packed from start to finish with thrilling incidents and dy- mamie action. Two of the mighty scenes in the production show ter rife battle between 500 Indians and a handful Of white men, and q mad stam- pede of 2,000 fear-crazed buffalo. 4 talented cast has been assembled which is headed by four featured play ers-Jack Holt, Lois Wilson, Noah Beery and Raymond Hatton.

THE TOP" LOSES
 FIRST GAME OF SEASON

The Nelson A. C. of Webster de- feated the .t0ver the Top" baseball team on the North Grosven0rdale grounds last Sunday by score of i2 to 2. IL was the first defeat of the breadmakers this season.
 The Grosvenordales started the game with two runs and increased the lead to seven in the second and third innings on Piasse the Webster pitcher The game looked easy to the lover the Top management, Ius- sier pitching for the Grosvenordales was a puzzler until the fourth inning, striking out seven men with only one hit against him. The score stood at seven to the visitors none at the start of the fourth Managers Lafontaine and Aucoin ordered changes m the line-up. Codcrrc was sent to center. Chubbuck Co first and Valade to right field. Looking the score over and the pitching of the two mOundsmen there was Il trouble in sight for the breadmakers. So the fourth inning began. with changes in the lineup, and a change in the score followed, as the Webster team scored eight runs in this inning on tW } hits, four errors. three hit batsmen, two bases on balls and two wild pitches by Lus- sier. All kinds of baseball came in order in this inning. That made trouble enough for the Over the Top'' crew. but ali the while this was unexpected of course, and the score stood at s to with the visitors in the lead.
 The last of the fourth inning found LonerRan pitching for the Webster team, Plasse having been placed at first. The change tO a pcrt-side pitch CT brought good results as the lover the Top" lineup went three innings in a row without q score. This made things look a lot different and more changes were ordered made in the Grosvenordale personnel. Coderre was sent to first, H. Blanehette Co right field. Smith replaced Ravenelle in left field the latter going to third base in place of Aueoin and Nalade went 10 center in place of Coderre. The change steadied the breadmakers until the ninth inning when the visi- tors won the game by scoring four runs. The home lineup scored one ia the seventh and one in the eighth inning taking the lead but this was soon wiped out when the visitors went on another rampage in their last time at bat, and were checked by Cederre, who was sent in to pitch, 1 Lussier replacing him at first.
 The batting of A. Blanehette and I,ussier featured for the home team, Blanehettc getting a home run with two men on and two singles, while i Lussier had a single, double and three base hit for the afternoon. Valade,s s play in the eighth inning cutting oh two runs featured in the fielding line of the game.
 For the visitors Lonergan and Frost hit well and the iatter's fielding feat ured.
 Every available man was used by the lover the Top" management, fourteen taking part and interehang- ed until nineteen positions had been taken care of. a,
 The southbridge A. O. H. team will play the lover the Top" next Sunday on the North Grosvenordale grounds at 2.30 eastern standard time.

Finally Comes Clean
NEARLY HALF INSURED
Financial Responsibility Law In Ef-
 feet Jan. l, 1926

! study of the financial responsibil- ity of Connecticut motor vehicle own CTS shows that approximately 32 per cent of she fegistrants in this state are insured t0 cover damage that might be done by thcir cars. This percentage is far above the average. which has been found to be about l x per cent in some states.
 The financial responsibility act adopted by the recent session of che Connecticut legislature has by some people been confused with compul- sory insurance bill which was proposed in the legislature but rejected. The financial responsibility act does not 20 into effect in Connecticut until Janu- ary l. 1926, and will therefore not af- feet 1925 registrations. Before that time. the state motor vehicle depart ment will make t the subject of dis eussion in one of its monthly bulletins.
 Inquirers about the new law. many of whom write 10 the department from other states. are being informed that the financial responsibility law will af- feet only such registrants as put themselves under its jurisdiction by their own acts. Owners of cars which have not been involved in accidents under circumstances reflecting on the registrants will not be affected.
 The application of the financial re- sponsibility feature will supplement the department discipline of drivers through the suspension of operators licenses. extending to the department 8 disciplinary measures to ear owners as well IL is expected to have the effect of diseouraging the loaning of auto mobiles V irresponsible persons.
