IF IT IS NOT THE “BARKER” Collar, the chances are nine to one that you are wearing cotton collars. The “BARKER” Coltars are the only TWO FOR A QUARTER kind that are linen and stamped so. ranted Linen” if they are not linen. WHY “BARKER” COLLARS ARE THE BEST. Because they made of Irish lihen that is Sun Bleached. It is against the law to stamp collars “War- “Barker”” Collars are linen. are For that reason they have greater durability, better” finish when laundered, and more comfortable to wear than ‘other kinds. «Barker Collars” are shrunk in the making, that gives them perfect fit. Another great point, being made of linen they come from the laundry with that elean snow white look: that cotton collars never have. try ‘Barker” Collars.

Edwin M. Pickup und L. G. Dean, was awarded the decision in a debate held at the Kensington Methodist church last evening by the Men's Lyceum. The subject was: ‘‘Resolved, That National Frohibition, by Constitutional Aménd- Y nt, 18 Desirable.” The judges, Se- P+ an William H. Gibney, Judge George Griswold and Senator Claude W, Stevens, decided' that the negative Unannounced | disputants, E. O. Dean and W. A. Hyde, showed the best preparation. Valuable arguments, brought out by both sides, tended to make the dis- cussion decidedly interegting, and it was greatly appreciated by the large aumber present. The debate was the last of the year. Harold Upson, Thomas Emerson and B, O. Dean, the committee of three arranging for the annual' ban- quet, reported their plans, at a busi- ness segsion which preceded the debate.

The local division of the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad | company has received orders to re- lease all those flat cars which were placed on sidings last: week in ac- cordance with orders to that effect | from headquarters. While it is. not known definitely, pit is thought that the railroad held up the flat cars for thé purpose of having them ready in case the state wished to send supplies and, troops to the scene of the threatened war in Mexico. Now that the scare is prac- tically over, it is felt safe to distribute the cars about again. Not one was to be seen in the local yards this morning. Property Transfer.

Plainville News CARE OF PAUPERS MAY GAUSE GIVIL. ACTION Town Threatens to Sue Bristol to 63t Reimbursement. BASEBALL CARNIVAL A SUCCESS Charity Commissioner in Neighboring City Claims Selectmen Spent Too Much Money on Onorato Family— Infanticide Case Still Unsolved. Civil action to recover for expenses incurred in the support of the Ono- rato family is threatened by the sc- lectmen against the city of Bristol unless a prompt settlement of the town’s bill is made, and there is now a strong likelihood that the case will be aired in the courts. Frequent conferences between the selectmen and Charity Commissioner King of Bristol have not been fruitful of re- sults and Attorney Thomas Welch, counsel for the town, has advised ap- pealing to the courts for reimburse- ment. The town’s right to spend whatever amount it sees fit on paupers living here, but having a residence in other places has been questioned by the Bristol officials, and since F. B. New- ton, at the time first selectman, sent in a bill for the support of the Onoratos the authorities in the two places have been unable to reach any agreement. Charity -Commissioner King, while admitting that the family was a Bristol charge, contends that Plainville had no right to spend more than a stated amount each week in providing food and clothing for the members. The family was in destitute circum- stances at the time and Selectman Newton spent whatever amount was necessary to feed and house the chil- dren properly, charging the bill to the account of the city of Bristol. Select- man Johnson has concurred in the opinion of his predecessor and has insisted that the bill bd paid in full. He claims that if the selectman took his full liberties under ‘the law, he could have expended $10.50 a week in supporting the family. The ex- pense was kept as low as possible and he does not believe Bristol Is showing the proper spirit in trying to make this town pay a part of the bill. He has notified the officials of the neighbering city that suit will be in- stituted unless the claims are paid and that conferences on the matter. are now a thing of the pl!tb/" Since coming into office, Selectman Johnson has had considerable trouble in keeping the poor account to‘a nor- mal amount and in -all cases where other places are legally bound to sup- port paupers requiring aid from the town he is making a determined ef- fort to get reimbursement. The win- ter has been'a hard one for the town Poor and the demands on the select- men for food, clothing and fuel have been heavy during the past four months. The support of Eugene Lindquist, Plainville’s juvenile Jekyl and Hyde, so christened by the authorities at the county home, has been a source of considerable trouble to the town officials. Probably $200 has already been spent in caring for him, although it is said he does not belong here, and the prospects of getting any of it back do not appear very good. The youngster, the selectmen believe, should be a charge on the town of Enfield, where he was born, but thus far they have been unable to get pos- session of all the facts necessary to force the officials of that place to take care of him. There are some other pauper cases of a similar character that have given a great deal of trouble and they will probably be brought to an issue in the near future. Infanticide Oase Unsolved.

The selectmen have again agreed to fur- nish teams to cart away the rubbish. ‘Want Fountain Moved. Another appeal for the removal of the W. C. T. U. drinking fountain from the monument plot on Central Square has been made to the select- men by the veterans and it is ex- pected that the ladies will again be asked to act on the matter.

The carnival held for the purpose of improving, the financial condition of the Plainville baseball association which has organized a club to repre- sent the town in the Farmington Val- ley league, was brought to a close in the Town hall last evening. The en- tertainment was given by the Laurel club of Bristol and it attracted a ca- pacity audience. The young ladies gave a splendid program and were given a most cordial reception.

Thursday will be the last day for payment of taxes on the grand list of 1913 and Collector Hemingway " is making preparations for the handling of considerable business during the next two days. The receipts during the month have been quite large, but there are a number of property own- ers who have not as yet made a set- tlement and it is expected that they will put in an appearance at the elev- enth hour. Interest at the rate of nine per cent. | from April 1 will be charged on all accounts not settled by Thursday and liens will be placed on the properties on which taxes are not paid. Personal taxpayers also have until Thursday to get their bills receipted and those who fail to make a settle- ment by that time will ‘be placed in the delinquent class. This 1leaves them liable to arrest.” Brief Items. The will of Mrs. Esther L. Norton was offered for probate yesterday by her son, Minton A. Norton.
