Much favorable comment has been heard during the past few days in regards to the action taken by the Litchfield County League of Fairs in endeavoring to make a uniform premium on all standard brands of Connecticut raised goods and offering smaller prizes on lesser known goods. By making such a change in the premiums, 1t would help a great deal to make the Connecticut grown products better known and cause a better market for them.
 The league does not endeavor to force any action, but is a means of the representatives of the various fairs getting together and discuss ing various ways of improving the fairs, especially those in Litchfield county and to go back to their home fairs and recommend the moves. Friendly feeling exists be- tween the fairs in the county and plans to make those fairs among the best in New England will be made.
 One of the propositions made by the league is to bar all out of state exhibitors at the fairs which are members of the league. During the past few years, exhibitors from neighboring states have been com ing into Connecticut and taking back to their native states, large amounts in premiums.

 Traffic Light Changed
 Borough Electrician Mlchael F.. Shea yesterday changed the amber colored lense in the traffic 1ght at the junction of Main and Maple streets to red. For 6 long time the amber lights were used for a walk signal, for pedestrians. They nave been confusing to autoists, many of whom started to travel on the caution light. The matter was dls- cussed at a meeting of the borough board in January and Chief Ad- arnson was to investigate as to the cost of making the change. It was found that it would be very ex- pensive to install the letters 'waik' in Neon lights on the trafhc slgh and 1t was finally decided to change the amber light to red. Autoists will not have the tendency to start their cars with red showing. The word walk" Is painted on the new red lense.

DIVIDENDS PAID

The Board of Directors of Gam
BILE -Skogmo, Inc, operating Gamble
Stores, on June 9th voted a divi-
dend of SOC per share on common
stock. The regular quarterly divi-
dend of $1.75 per share on the 100
preferred stock was also declared.
This dividend is payable July LIST
to stockholders of record as OF
June Goth. The stockholders are
all residents of the Middlewest.
These dividends are the same as
paid in 1881, which were an in
crease over 1880. The officials re-
port earnings for the first five
months of 1882 in excess of the
same period in 1881. They also re-
port a sales increase of 21.45% in
1892 over the same five-month's
period in 1881. The much lower
prices which prevail in 1882 as COM
pared with 1881 makes this showing
most outstanding. The 1882 expan-
sion of Gamble Stores included the
opening of 10 new stores in the Mid
dlewest. This brings the total num-
Der to 1874 now operating in Min
nesota, North and South Dakota,
Wisconsin, Michigan, Iowa, Illinois,
Kansas, Nebraska, Missouri and
Indiana.
