They want their son to come home aua finish hs last year at the Put nam high school. This the boy ap- parently has no intentions of doing.

WOODSTOCK FAIR
 Is 72 YEARS OLD
Grounds Will Be Alive And Pens And Halls Full Next
 Week
Old Timers Would Find Things
 Much the Same

Woodstock fair. 72 years old, will open to receive exhibits on Tuesday. September 9th. On the two follow ing days, the 10th and 11th, the fair will be in full swing.
 While other fairs have departed from the picture, Woodstock by re- taining all of the oldtime features of the country fair and cattle show, has carried on successfully. This does not mean that the organization has not kept abreast with the times and with a realization that the younger generation expects a thrill tries to provide something to amuse them.
 What would those old residents of 1858, now sleeping in the different cemeteries in the various parts of the town think if they could make their appearance two weeks hence and see automobile parading around the third mile track? What would they think of the progress in agri- culture? The fine macadam highways leading to the fair grounds? Hot dogs" as a diversion and digestion threatening luncheon? What would they think of the present styles in dresses? The acquired speed of horses? Many remember when a three minute clip was a record on even the best tracks in the country. Now it is slow even for Woodstock E third of a mile ring.
 Same Old Features
 There are many. many things that would astonish and astound those who attended the first fair back in 1858. Yet there are still retained many features that would be familiar to them. The cattle parade for in. stance. The pulling contest with teams of oxen. The exhibition pens with their poultry, cattle and swine They would be astonished to see milk ing done with a machine and chick. ems matched in ineuhators. but the needle work and the products of the farm kitchen they would find just about the same.
 Yes, Woodstock Fair is still the old time fair and cattle show witt little extra dressing up for tn, younger folks. The older folks al Woodstock Fair are not looking fol excitement. They are looking herr and there and all around to see thei friends; to renew old acquaintances It would be surprising how man, people meet on the Woodstock fan grounds once a year. A veritabl,
 According to program there will bS a band Wednesday and Thursday and there will be an automobile and 2 cattle parade. There is little effort needed to tell the people of eastern Windham county, including the sum mer sojourners, about the delight: of Woodstock Fair It is only neces- sary to announce the dates, Septem- 10th and l1th and they will make an effort to be there.

Lou shook her head. Jerry grinned back, and she knew she was going to like this big red-haired husband of Jays.
 The three of them chatted for a few minutes, then Brynmor left re- luctantly. Mary Lou saw him to the door.
 Brynmor muttered something un- intelligible as he disappeared down the stairway. He told himself, an- grily, that this was the last of Mary Lou Yet he was amazed to find, as he strode down the road, that he didn't want it to be the last of Mary Lou at all. Mary Lou was laughing softly as she closed the door. T think I've paid you out for telling that little dancer that was nice enough, but that I bored you stiff," she said to herself. Jerry was resting in a comfort able chair when she returned to the studio.
 T take it, by the expression on his face. you'd been giving that young fellow the air. he grinned. Wasn't he tie hero of last sum- mer. Mary Lou?" She nodded. "He was But there's another one now"
 Then Jay came in, and the three of them joked as they enjoyed the meal that the day maid had pre- pared. Afterwards, there was the excitement of Mary Lou's dressing for the dance. Jay insisted that she wear the golden picture gown. At last Mary Lou was ready, lis tening intently for Tony's foot steps on the stairs. A few moments later the bell rang, and Jerry lounged to the door.
 Come in, young fellow" and Tony was ushered into the studio
 Well, we'll" he grinned at Mary Lou. Where's the fairy godmother

1 Brynmor's eyes were angry.
 You don't mean that. You're just trying to hit back at me"
 Mary Lou assumed amazement.
 Why should I?"
 T suppose it was because I left you a few minutes last night" he mumbled.
 Did you?" she smiled. I'd for gotten, really"
 Brynmor felt still angrier, but he was definitely aware of an unde- niable attraction in this new Mary Lou.
 He curbed his temper. Don't let's hurt each other any more, Mary Lou, please Let's be the good pals we were last summer. If you are going out with that chap to- night, keep tomorrow night for me, will you, dear?"
 Mary Lou sighed and shook her head. T am sorry, but I'm afraid m DOoKed up every nlgnt JHlS week Anyhow, If we can't fix it up, it's nice to see you again"
 Brynmor stared at her in genu- inc amazement. Never had he an- ticipated anything like this. Now he didn't know what to do. He might have argued further, but at that moment Jerry Jerome came home
 Why, hello, Mary Lou" He kissed her affectionately. T hear you painted the town red last night!" He shook hands with Rrynmor, glanced at Mary Lou, as much as to say: "Is this the fel- low?"

 Back in the flat, she was trying on the Italian blue suit when the doorbell rang. It was Brynmor, looking rather sheepish.
 "Oh, hello, Brynmor." She was glad she was wearing the new blue suit. It was reassuring to see the admiration leap into his eyes.
 "Jove. Mary Lou. What have you been doing to yourself?"
 Ghe assumed a casual air. Moth ing, why?"
 "You look different somehow. I came around to make some arrange ment for tonight he remarked, "and to see If you had reached home safely after the raid"
 "Of course I did" Mary Lou smiled. MT. Titherington brought me home"
 sOh, is that the fellows name?'
 'Mr Anthony Oswald Tithering- ton. You may have heard of him. He's an amateur pilot-rather fa- nous, believe"
 Brynmor's expression showed the information didn't please him.
 ~Oh, well" he shrugged, T don't suppose youll ever see him again"
 "Won't IF" said Mary Lou. I'm not planning to see anyone else for the next two weeks"
 Brynmor was startled. Look here, Mary Lou, you came to town to see me, didn't you?"
 AMaybe I did" she murmured ''but maybe I've changed my mind. , 1s.Nonsense. You can't mean that. He rose to his feet. Stop fooline and tell me where can take you tonight?"
 I'm sorry. Brynmor, but tonight Tony is taking me to Lady Hays dance. We're going on to the Jun gle Club afterward, so I don't see how could fit you in.'

Jay was as thrilled as Mary Lou when she heard of the plans that Tony had proposed.
 "Then you must have more than one evening frock," she exclaimed. You're sure to meet the same peo- pie everywhere, and girls remember your dresses with such painful &C., curacy. I have one in red en- broidered chiffon over silver lame that will look stunning on you"

BASEBALL MEETING
DOES VERY LITTLE

NEW YORK. Dec. 70. U.p)-Del-
gates to the annual convention of
the major league baseball clubs,
which adjourned here last night,
were on their way home today. The
1880 convention was a repetition of
the 1929 meeting, and, quite pos
sibly, preview of the 1881 edi-
ton of the big leagues conference.
There was no end of talk and pro-
poSals, but, as usual, very little
was accomplished.
The draft question still remains
ea unsolved problem. The threat
against the rabbit ball failed to ma
terialize, and the proposed limita-
ton of home runs never got be-
yond the discussion stage.
All in all, it was a typical meet
ing, except that trading was ex-
tremely light. Baseball escaped
several reforms, more unnecessary
than otherwise. and has nothing to
look forward to now until the
training camps begin to open.

HEAVY DRAIN ON
SALVATION ARMY
RELIEF KITCHEN

Mems shelter at the Salvation
Army housed 20 men last night and
SO wanderers were provided with
soup and bread. This morning the
men were given coffee and bread
pudding. Last night was declared
to be an average night.
Men of all ages formed the line
which filed into the shelter and
past the wood stove where a huge
kettle of soup was simmering.
Three slices of bread, a spoon and
a bowl or cup of soup constituted
the serving. They are invited to
return for additional servings as
long as there are remaining pro-
visions.
Twenty-one of the so we're turned
away for the night as there was no
place for them to sleep. Those
carrying their own bed rolls are
permitted to sleep on the floor as
long as there is space. The 2l,
however, had no bedding.
There is a great need at the
shelter for one dozen cot pads and
coverings. The cots are on hand
but there is no bedding. Garage
space will be used for the cots as
soon as bedding is provided.
Providing shelter for men is not
the only service the Salvation
Army manages. Thirty EIGHT FAM
lilies were cared for this month,
each family having from two child
rem to nine. In most instances the
husband and father is out of work
and unable to feed his dependents.
