with added charm when a young

his friendship with Peggy, but
she Is afraid, of and for herself,

VIDOR MAKES
HISTORICAL
ROMANCE

King Vidor, famous for "The
Big Parade" makes another ex-
cursion into historical romance
with the talking picture Of BILLY
the Kid" which is now current
on the Realize screen at Loew's
Columbia.
An imposing cast personifieS
the various historical characters
in the new Metro -Goldwyn-Ma
production, including John Mack
Brown, last seen in Montana
Moon," who has the title role;
Wallace Beery, who scored in
The Big House" and WAY For
a Sailor" now at Loew'S Palace.
as Sheriff Garrett; Kay John
son, featured in Dynamite" in
the feminine lead. and Karl
Dane as q comic cowhand. Sup
porting roles are played by Wynd-
ham Standing. Russell Simpson
and a host of ether M.-G.-M. con-
tract players.
The picture was adapted by
Wanda Tuchock from the noted
story by Walter Noble BurpE
with dialogue by Laurence Stal
lings, who wrote THE Big Pa
rade," and Charles Macarthur.
In depicting the vivid career
Of Billy the Kid on the screen
it was Vidor's intention to re
create the "laSt stand Of the
Wild West" namely. the famous
Lincoln county cattleman's wal
which centered in Lincoln, N
Mex. That truth is stranger
than fiction was ably demon
strated by the exciting incidents
which make up the historical
narrative Of the 21-year-old out
law who bore the reputation ol
being the most dangerous mar
in the West.

BREAKUP At CHENA
SLOUGH PREMATURE:
NE:NANA ICE HOLDING

Arrivals from the Interior re-
port that the ice breakup in Che
ma slough at Fairbanks was pre-
mature and covers a very small
area, not general enough to have
any direct bearing On the break
up Of the Nenana river ice.
There is an unusual scarcity Of
water in the creeks and rivers in
that vicinity attested by the fact
that several dredging crews sent
out on Goldstream earlier in the
week have returned to Fairbanks
awaiting the spring freshets. Last
year at this period Of time many
Of the dredges were already III
operation.
Tt is further stated that winter
conditions still prevail at Nenana
with no indication Of an unusual
early breakup of the ice there. 1t
is generally believed that those
holding tickets for the ice pool
whose guesses for the breakup
are anywhere from the 5th to the
18th inclusive are still III favor

great fortune which awaits the

SLATER-SILk SOx
 GAME TO BE REPLAYED
Webster Team Commended for Un- usual Exhibition of Sportsmanship

The Slater Company Athletic As sociation of Webster poured oil on troubled waters at a meeting of the Southern New England League, Tuesday evening. The act was out standing in good sportsmanship and for it the Skaters deserve the highest praise.
 Putnam protested a game lost to the Skaters claiming irregularity in players participating in the game. As the matter has been satisfactorily settled the ins and outs and the why's and wherefores become of secondary importance.
 1t was anticipated that the Slater Management and the Putnam Man agement would take part in a heated argument when the hearing took place. There were rumors of with drawals from the league. Slater sprung a great surprise and received hearty commendation for their sport ing attitude by refusing to argue and to announce a willingness to play the game with the Silk Sox over again. Thus Is the league saved intact and peace and harmony restored. The throwing out of the Putnam-S Slater game played July 27 leaves the team standing AS follows.

RECoNSTRUCTING THE
 DRUNK OF JOE LAYTON
Found Asleep on Shelf in Front of
 Front Street Store

To reconstruct the story of Joseph Lanton of Baltic, as appeared from the facts related just before he was sentenced to thirty days by Judge Geissler of the city court Monday morning for intoxication, the follow ing conclusion is reached. Joe was able to procure a beverage legally de- nied to thirty residents of the u. s. A. He drank not wisely Or well. As he staggered along Front street he espied what might be taken for a bunk in the steerage of a steamship by one navigating uncertainty.
 During the day the shelf had been used to display bananas. peaches, mel ons and early vegetables. The fruit dealer had long since removed his wares and stored them inside for the night. Joe climbed uncertainty onto the soft side of the wooden shelf and laid himself down. His snores could be heard at some distance. He was discovered by night officer Joseph Du- rand. The man from Baltic was taken across the river and given a cot with mattress on it. Here he fell asleep once more. Monday morn ing he was marched through the mar row corridor from the cell room to the court room and after sentence had been pronounced was taxied to the county jail at Brooklyn where labor CTS are needed. the gardening season now being at it's height.

CHILD REUNION
 IS POSTPONED
Omit Meeting Out of Respect For the Several Who Have
 Died
Organization Has Been Active Since
 1903

Although this is the year for the biennial meeting of the Child family of Woodstock deaths in the family since the last meeting decided the officers of the association to postpone the meeting until August 1882.
 The association of the Child Fami- lies of Woodstock was organized in 1908 with great enthusiasm and in- terest. The first meeting was held at Roseland Park. At this meeting very interesting historicals of the family were read by Mrs. Elias Child of Syracuse, N. r., who, with her husband. Rev. Elias Child, were authors of the Child family genea- logy.
 In 1908. 146 members of the large family were present, coming from California, Kansas. Nebraska, Illi- nois. Pennsylvania, Delaware, Mary land. New York, New Jersey, Mas sachusetts and Rhode Island, as we'll as from many towns in Connecticut. Reunions have been held every two years since.
 Ranks Depleted
 HIS year ib tue ftkutaf ftiHtt ioh the meeting but the ranks of the family have been sadly depleted. Deaths have removed four members who have filled the offices of presi- dent of the organization. First was the death of Luther ]. Leavitt. His death was followed by that of Clar- enee il. Child and later in the year by that of Charles Killam and Charles Potter. The deaths of B. w. Child of California and Frank B.. Chandler. also of California are re- called because of the many interest ing communications received from them in times past. Very recently occurred the death of Mrs. Pamelia Child Meek. who for many years overcame almost insurmountable ob- staeles to be present at the family gatherings.
 Because of this bereavement the committee of the association decided to postpone further meetings to August 1882 as an expression of sympathy for the sorrowing families and in memory of what the lives of those gone have been and have meant to the organization through all the years since 1903.

Prizes Offered For
 Best Photographs
Beautiful and Unsightly Views Along State Highwsys--M.y Be Used in
 Book

The Connecticut Forest and Park Association today announced a Prize Roadside Photographic Contest m order to encourage a greater appre- citation of the beauties of Connecticut and to arouse the public to the need for roadside identification. The con test is conducted in cooperation with the American Nature Association which is presenting the prizes amounting to $45. There are three first prizes of s10 each and three second prizes of S5 each for the best photographs in each of the following classes:
 Most beautiful view taken from a public highway in Connecticut.
 Most unsightly view taken from public highway in Connecticut
 View showing the greatest number of different, unsightly advertisements and roadside stands bordering Con- necticut highway.
 Locations Limited
 All photographs must be taken from within the limits of either state or town highways in Connecti- cut, but outside the limits of cities and villages. The contest closes Nov. lst. 1880 and photographs must reach the office of the Connecticut Forest and Park Association, New Haven, by that date. The prize winning photo graphs will be submitted to the Edit or of Nature Magazine for publiea- ton.
 In commenting on the contest, R. M. Ross, Secretary of the Connecticut Forest and Park Association, stated that the photographs received might be used at later date in getting up booklet on Connecticut's roadside. It is hoped the contest will assist in showing the need for the elimination of unsightly advertisements and road side stands bordering our highways. The state of Connecticut, through its Landscape Division. is spending over $200,0 ,000 a year for highway roadside improvement and Identification. Much of this work is to the advantage of the billboard advertiser as the land scape work makes particularly fine setting for the billboard.
