All Berlin and Kensington turned out today either to witness the annual Memorial Day_exercises conducted by the local G. A. R. or to take an active ‘part in the cgremonies. The weather man was with the veterans and did his part by donating a day that was ideal in every respect. The highways were in fine condition, although the newly cistributed oil, which made the auto- mobile part of the exercises perfect, did not make the best footing for the marchers. Every: veteran was ‘up bright and early.this morning. and there was not a member unprepared for the annual tribute to his dead hirothers when the sound of the waiting auto was heard outside his home., The machines had gathered all of the veterans by 10 o'clock and con- rveved them to the Kensington monu- ment, where the first exercises of the day were held. v After placing a new American flag on each grave the members strewed dren and.ladies. of Berlin and Ken- singtoh around the various plots. The exercises opemed at the monu- ment where Rev. E. M. Pickop and Rev. Carleton Hazen gave stirring ad- dresses. Each speaker dwelt in an in- formal way on the patriotism as shown in the bitter struggle a half cemtury #go and still exemplified by the yearly custom of setting aside a certain day each year to the men who have fallen since then in the battle of life. The speakers also mentioped the spiritual side of the conflict and the lessons to be gained from it. The autos, each embellished with veterans to Beckley. The members formed in line at Frank Bacon's place and marched the short distance to the | Beckley cemetery, where the second stage of the day’s program was enact- ed. A briet address was given over carried the veterans to the Berlin | Congregational church, where lunch was served Dy the Ladles’ Aid society of the church. 4_ At press time, the veterans, re- freshed by a short rest and the luncheon in the church parlors, were orming in line in front of the edifice &: the services In Berlin pr A of the older men, fatigued by the Sriorning’s work, were seated in ma- ‘Chines and were later conveyed over route.

After these, exercises the members will be conveyed again to the Berlin Con- gregational church where will be conducted by Rev. FBiske, pastor of the church and chgplain of the G. A. R. When these are finished the autos will carry the men .to their homes. The members of the local post wish to express their sincere thanks to the residents who so kindly gave the use of their machines to the veterans. They realize that Memorial Day is one of pleasure to many people and especially to those owning automo- biles, making the sacrifice all . the more evident. They also thank tke children and ladies of Berlin, sington and Beckley who gathered flowers for the grave decorations: also the Ladies’ Aid society of the Berlin Congregational church for the® lunch served and to all others who aided them in making the day of memory one of a fitting character.

Porter has re- ceived a notice from the United States department of labor to the effect that from twelve to fifteen thousand har- vest hands will be needed to handle this year’s wheat crop in Oklahoma. Hon."W. B. Wilson, secretary of iabor, received a request from Charles L. Doughtery, state labor commissioner of Oklahoma, asking that notices Le distributed throughout the country, and Berlin is one of the first towns to post a notice, The state will maintain employ- ment agencies in Oklahoma City, Enid, Alva, Woodward and Frederick and work will be provided for one communicating with these cities.

Festival a Success, The annua] May festival of the Children of Mary society of St. Paul's Kensington, was held last evening in the parish hall and was a. success in every feature. A large crowd was on hand to enjoy the en- teriainment preparef by the commit- tee and later to dance the new dances until a late hour. Previous to the opening of the doors, St, Paul's Y. M. T. A. and B. fife and drum corps marched through the principal streets and advertised the affair in a fitting manner. Last evening's festival marked the re-opening of the hall for pleasure purposes as the building has been used to serve mass during the erec- tion of thc new church. Now that the latter is completed, the parish hall will continue as a Mecca for so- cial functions as it has been in the past. 1 Heavy Traflic on Railroad.

Sparks from a passing engine set fire to a patch of dry grass and leaves near Donnelly's brick yard about 530 o'clock vesterday afternoon and al- though the flames quickly spread to a nearby fence and barn, they wers extinguished by two vard hands be- fore any serious damage was done. Cars Run Wild. Five freight cars became separated from their engine yesterday and bumped along several feet of ties and roadbed before coming to a stop. The wrecker from Hartford replaced the cars and in the meantime passen- ger trains were run around the wreck on the southbound tracks, Horse Found on Tracks. A large bay horse was found yes- terday on the railroad tracks near the stone bridge below the Berlin station.

TOWN PAYS TRIBUTE T0 SOLDIERS Hearing on McLeod CIT Indefinite- el Iy Postponed—Annivertary of Riot —To Move Into New Heme—Kim- mell Fined $2—Briefs. Although a hearing was given several days ago on the claim of Harold Reed of this place for benefits | under the workingman's compensation act as the result of illness which he claims was caused by an injury re- ceived last January while he was at v.ork at the plant of the Orient Music company of Forestville, rarties are still awaiting from Commissioner George B. Chan- dier, who has the case in charge, At the commisioner’s office in Hart- ford it was said yesterday afternoon that Mr. Chandler had not as yet madezan award and it was impossible to tel when his decision will be an- nounced. Reed's claim was disputed by the Aetna Insurance company which in-! sures the Orient company under the compensation act, the claim being ad- vanced that the young man’s illne: was not attributable to his injuries He had pneumonia, which Dr. J. C. Tanner, the attending physician, de- clared developed from an injury to one of his ribs. It is reported that the case will probably go to the courts no matter which side is favored in the commis- sioner’s decision. The hearing on the claim of A. A. McLeod, cashier at the national bank, the commissioner secretary stated, | has been indefinitely: postponed. Mr. McLeod asks for benefits on the strength of the statements that an cperation for hernia whicii he recent- Iy underwent was necessitated by a strain which he sustained in.trying to open the vault in the bank a few months ago. The Aetna Insurance people contest his application on the grounds that he is not a workingman interested a decision | tion act and that they should not be held resgonsible for doctor’s bills in- curred so long after the accident.

Some- times bookkeepers, by mistake, send out bills after they have been paid If you pay by check, however, the canceled checks are returned to you and can be produced as receipts. Checking accounts are, therefore, more than a convenience. They are an insurance against overpayment Every man or woman who pays bills should do so with checks.

Anniversary of Riot. Tomorrow, May 31, marks the first anniversary of the New Britain gang- sters’ riot on Central square, which resulted almost in the death of Con- Cornelius Downing and in which several other local people were more or less injured. Several of the townspeople still have a strong mind- picture of the affair. It caused more excitement than anything that ever happened in Plainville and the res dents and the members of the invad- army” as well will remember it for years to come. There has been a report in to the effect that the Britain boys have been celebrate the anniversa but it is likely that if the date is given any special ob- servance, the boys will do their cele- brating in New Britain, the tion given them on their previous ap- pearance here having been sufficiently warm to satisfy them for some time to come. stable cir- New planning of their Town Honors Its Soldier Dead.

The exercises closed with a tattoo and benediction, the latter by the Sons of | Veterans. Graves of the veterans in all ceme- teries were decorated with by delegations from the post.

Mr. McKernan told “Herald” man this morning that the report of the Southington engineer showed two sewer propositions under con- sideration. The twenty-one mile sewer, it was estimated, would cust about $128,000 while one of thirteen and one-half miles would figure about $118,000. These estimates, the local engineer said, show that the sewer in the neighboring borough will cost even more per mile than that which it was proposed would be ron- structed here. Help Laid Off.
