Inhalcrs of the tonic ozone of Thomaston report that the real football play of the day ycster- day in the stiIctto village, was young Yves Andcrson's 30 yard drop kick in the preliminary game, in behalf of the Thomas. ton Tigers, who shut out their rivals, the Torrington Hilltops, 9 to 0. So-called state grid stars in college, high school and semi- pro gridirons are having plenty of foot trouble kicking from placement we'll within the three- ten ribbon. Wonder if the kid could do 1t again?

Naugy Score Wasted


 Ansonia. Oct 9-Interference by Stapleton of Naugatuck while try ing to grab a pass from Carroll, resulted in a scoreless tie for the All-Naugatuck and Ansonia Acorn teams this afternoon. Carroll pass ed over the Acorn goal line in the last period to Stapleton, who caught the pass, but managed to block an opposing back who was also trying to knock the pass down. AS a result Stapleton scored, but the touchdown was ruled n. g. by Umpire Ryan, who charged Staple ton with interference. From that point on, the teams played with out a score. Good offensive play by Naugatuck was offset by excellent line play on the part of Ansonia. The visitirs threatened twice. but lost the ball on penalties and downs. Mestuzzi fumbled on Naugy's 20-yard stripe for the only chance Ansonia had to score. The summary:

Produce Market Notes
Progress Of the Crop Season

The progress of the crop season
brings the usual increasing volume
of carlot shipments but the total still
lags at least 25 per cent behind the
figures of a year ago. Much of the
gain week by week is from new ship
ping sections as the season ad-
vances northward and from new
products, with the arrival of apples,
peaches and miscellaneous produce
of the later maturing kinds.
The demand continues unsatisfac-
tory, markets are dull and prices in
clined to sag away whenever there
is a temporary Over-supply. Most
price changes since the middle of the
month have been downward, with a
few exceptions, including eastern
potatoes, western lettuce and south
ern onions. Most of the midwestern
potato markets are dull and weak
and new low prices were reached at
Chicago the third week of June for
old stock from the Upper Lakes
region.
The peach season began late but
a fairly satisfactory market prevails
for the early varieties shipped out
of sections from Georgia westward
to Arkansas. New crop apples were
coming from California, Illinois and
Georgia. Strawberry movement has
dropped to hardly more than an
average of a dozen cars daily, in
c1uding fairly equal proportions
from Maryland, Delaware and New
York; but there is still fairly ac-
tive movement of the late crop to To-
cal markets by truck. An increasing
proportion of the berry crop has
been trpcked to market this year to
the several large cities making re-
ports.

Potato Markets Draggy

Northern potatoes now comprise
less than one-fOurth the total re-
ceipts, bUt Maine is unusually active
for the time of year and there are
few cars daily from New York.
Prices of old potatoes gained a little
in producing sections after the MID
die of June, owing to a temporary
let-up in the supply from the South,
but with tho recovery of the south
ern output and large shipments
from the eastern seabOard the gen
eral potato market again became
draggy.
It was expected that the move
ment of the potato crop from the
Eastern Shore of Virginia would
show fair volume by the third week
of June. Attempts were being made
to persuade the growers to delay dig
ging operations, but as some OF the
vines are already nearly gone it is
probable that digging will become
0uite general in the lower part OF
Northampton county. Yields in this
Eastern Shore district of Virginia
are reported to be running rather
light and, in general, the size is
smaller than last year. However
there are some indications that the
quality will improve as the season
progresses as the rains will beneht
the later potatoes. Local reports in
dicate that the crop in Northampton
county will be almost completely
harvested before shipments from
Accomac county and Maryland have

market on the Eastern Shore are
reflected in the slightly lower prices
of $210 to 1925 per barrel fol
standard grade Cobblers. Supplies Of
southern potatoes are reported light
to moderate in the large city mar
kets. With the price trend slightly
downward, Virginia Cobblers sold at
a general range of 1925 to SO per
barrel in the East, with a top price
of $3.25 reported for Eastern Shore
stock, at Boston.
Eastern Lettuce Weaker
Contrary to the rising market on
western lettuce, arrivals of eastern
stock ruled from steady to weaker.
Receipts from New Jersey and New
York were moderate and the demand
limited. In New York and Balti-
more good quality New York Big
Boston type sold at a range of rs
cents to 81. Considerable quantities
of the eastern lettuce were reported
fair to ordinary in quality and con-
dition, with prices as low as 25 cents
per crate in some cities. Many of
the eastern markets report lettuce
from New Jersey, New York and
Pennsylvania being shipped in most
ly by motor truck '''
Cabbage shipments are decreasing
but are still fairly active from some
midwestern sections and from the
South. Some sales of New Jersey
pointed type were quoted in Wash
ington around 81 per hamper of "
bushels. Missouri cabbage sold at
$1.5O to 50 per hundred pounds in
Chicago the third week of June, with
a top quotation of $225. ~
Tomato shipments are increasing,
including arrivals from such mid
sections as Arkansas, west i
ern Tennessee and South Carolina.
Truck growers in some of the south
ern producing sections have been do
ing very well with tomatoes this
year. City markets were rather lib
orally supplied with tomatoes in late
June. The price trend slanted down
ward, South Carolina stock dropping
to a range of SOC to 81 per 6-basket
carrier the third week of the month.
Peaches and Apples
The bulk of the arrivals of early |
peaches still is from Georgia. They |
sell from $3.50 to $3.50 per bushel |
II 6-basket crate. Arrivals are light, |
with those of year ago,
1ut more peaches are coming this
season from California where the |
growers have good crops and are at
empting to fill the apparent gap in
he eastern supply.
Shipments of new-crOp apples
tarted from Illinois along with light
from Georgia and the Pa
.ific Coast. Total receipts are
scarcely one-third those of last
ear, and this relative apple short
.ge is likely to continue to some ex-
ent, Judging from the local condition
eports from most eastern, southern
md midwestern sections early in the
eason. The trouble seems to have

ear and unfavorable weather at the

Flowers and Tragedies

In these days the flowers have
been found to blame for many TRACE
dies. These guilty blossoms are
generally water lilies and edelweiss.
The water lilies are those so tempt
ing blossoms floating upon the wa
Ter, always a little farther from the
boat or from the Shore than they
appear to be. The edelweiss, too,
always grows a little beyond the
reach of the hand, upon the edge of
an abrupt precipice or upon the
remoter side of a fathomless ere
vase What is the tragic result?
Excursionists wish to pluck the wa
ter lilies, fall into the flood and are
drowned. Mountain climbers strive
to gather edelweiss and fall to their
death in some abyss. The flowers
are alone responsible for these
tragedies, for have they not lured
their victims to their fate-or at
least suggested that certain risks
are part of the pleasure of vacation
fng?-Le Matin, Paris.

Queer OId-Time FiddIes

Lord Chesterfield considered it be
meath a gentleman to be seen pip
ing or fiddling, and advised his son
if he loved music to hear it, to pay
the fiddlers to play for him, but
never to fiddle himself. Quite CON
trary TO this advice, it was the fancy
of a certain fiddler to exercise his
musical talent while Rome burned.
But not many musicians are so bar
barously inclined. The fiddles used
in the Tenth century at the fairs
and merrymakings of the Anglo
Saxons are probably representations
Of those queer-looking stringed in
struments cut upon the stone of
the Egyptian and Grecian monu-
ments, or the long pattern mono
chords which have existed in India
from prehistoric times, according to
some commentators, though it is usu-
ally conceded that the fiddle dates
to Egyptian times.

Salt Meat for Longevity

An item taken from the London
Observer of 1881, dealing with the
death Of Patrick Gibson at the age
of one hundred and eleven, gives an
interesting reason for his longevity
and intelligence. 1t says: Until the
last few years of his life he walked
daily two or three miles. His diet
consisted of picked pork and salt
beef. II he dined on fresh meat he
felt oppressed. heated, and fever
ish. and could not take his glass of
porter. which he always did at
meals. He was a Catholic, and
lived on milk and potatoes on Fri
days. He seemed to die without
any bodily disease. He gradually
became exhausted and simply ceased
to live.

Pronunciation Varies

The pronunciation of slough" va
ries with the meaning. When the
word means a hole full of mud or
deep. miry place it is correctly
pronounced "slou," rhyming with
now" This is the pronunciation
of the word as employed in John
Bunyan's Pilgrims Progress"
where the Slough of Despond is a
deep bog into which Christian falls
at the beginning of his journey and
from which Help extricates him.
When Slough" refers to a marshy
place or piece of low. wet land it
is pronounced "sloo," to rhyme with
too" In this sense the word is
frequently spelled ''slew," "sloo," or
"slue." When slough" means the
cast-off skin of an animal or rep
tile which sheds it it is pronounced
"sluff. Pathfinder Magazine.

Maple Tree Sap

The movement of sap in the ma
pie tree is described generally as
follows: 1t is the watery solution
which circuIates through the vascu-
lar tissue in woody plants. The
ascending current consists of
the water of inhibition in which
are dissolved various salts oh
tained from the earth. This So
called crude sap passes through the
xylem portion of the vascular bun
dies to the MISUNDERSTANDING
tissues. the leaves in most plants,
where the surplus water is trans
pired into newly formed carbohy-
drates and proteids through the
phloem or sieve tissue to the parts
of the plant which may require
them, the descending current often
being called elaborated sap. From
this it will be seen that the sap
taken in tapping a tree is the type
of sap which has already formed
the carbohydrates and proteids and
is therefore largely from the de-
scending or elaborated sap.

DEDICATE 2 TREES AT DOVER
Exercises Held Last Wednesday

an American elm 30 feet high and
9 inches in diameter, and the other
an Oriental elm presented by the

b rs of the club. The first tree
was planted by the State Forestry
Department to replace a similar
tree which died and had to be re-
moved, while the other was pre-
sented by the club in honor of
George Washington. This is a
part of the Bi-Centennial of the
birth of Washington celebration.
The invocation was by the Rev. H.
