THE SEASON WANES

The shadows are lengthing;
the evenings are cooler; the
long, gourd-like squashes, mark
ing the end Of summer, are ap-
pearing in market. But it is
the county fair that makes one
certain of the waning of one
season and the approach of
another.
From now until frost, county
fairs will be in full swing all
over the various states. They
are part and parcel of rural and
small town life, and the city
resident is fond of them too.
They come at a time when
the crops are for the most part
in. There is little leisure be-
tween harvest-time and the ac-
tivities of autum. The farmer
has money in his pocket. He
feels he is entitled to a holiday.
He likes to meet and talk things
over with the folks of his coun-
ty whom he has not seen in
months. He has in mind GER
tain improvements on the farm.
He desires to inspect farm ap-
paratus and the like at his
leisure. He takes pride in pitt
ing his own choice products of
home and farm against those of
his neighbors.
So he goes to the fair, and he
is the better for it, and so, too.
is his farm.

ample that his children will do
we'll to emulate. 1t can be said
of him that he was a commun-

Many Watched
 the Rainbow
Magnificent Sight Attract ed Much Attention
 Yesterday

A large and beautifully-colored rainbow appeared in the eastern skies yesterday afternoon about 6 o'clock and was clearly visible for the best part of 30 minutes. AL though there was no heavy shower in Waterbury to account for the phenomenon rain evidently fell in some part of the state as the rain- bow was mirrored against gray black clouds.
 Many observers predicted that the rainbow was sign of the breaking up of winter, but others declared that there was no winter for the rainbow to break. The bow was high up in the sky and was luminous at all parts. There was no double bow as is often common following our summer sun showers.

 "Nothing that has happened since he first became candidate for the great office of president cnn have done anything but make him still more our idol than ever be- fore" Ely declared. He said that "what was a tough fight in 1928 ought to be Q cinch in 1882"
 Ely referred to Smiths letter to the chairman of the Massachusetts democratic committee yesterday authorizing use of his name on the ballot in the Massachusetts presi- dental primary April 26. That ..shot to pieces" the argument that Smith was not a genuine candidate for the presidency, he asserted.
 The Smith pledged slate of can. didates will be opposed by Q full slate of Roosevelt-pledged candt- dates in the New Hampshire prl. mary, and most observers have felt the forces favorable to Roosevelt to be the stronger.
