Starting at Berlin News _ WAR CAUSES DELAY O GRANGE BUILDING Some Directors Fear Currency Will B Tied 1. TOW CLERK FINDS OLD CRAVES Complies With Request of Man in Battle Creek, Mich.—Rev. E. M. Pickop to Be in His Pulpit Next Sunday—Girls to Have House Party. It is probable that because of the war situation in Europe at the pres- ent time, the Berlin Grange corpora- tion will be obliged to abandon its plans for erecting a new home on its begutiful site on Deacon North's hill. President Charles M. Weldon has called a meeting of the governing board for tonight when this matter will, undoubtedly, be threshed out. Some of the directors feel that there is no reason why they should ' no{ go ahead with the plans, ‘but others are inclined to believe that currency may become scarce in a short time and seriously cramp the work, as it will be necessary for the Grange to borrow practically all the money needed to pay for the build- fng. LIt looks now as if the Grange will be obliged to tarry just a little long- er in the old Mechanics’ hall on Worthington ridge. Finds Old Graves. # In response to a letter which he re- ceived from F. E, Belden of Battle Creek, Mich., Town Clerk Francis H. Shaw has located two graves in the \ Christian Lane cemetery, which were v made almost a half century ago. Owing to the fact that some of the old graves were not marked when the burying ground was cleaned up a short tirhe ago, the town clerk experienced some difficulty in finding the exact lo- cation of the graves, but he succeeded .in_doing so with William Bulkeley's wi¢ and has informed his correspon- dent to that effect, According to Mr. Belden's com- munication, he is desirous of placing headstones on the graves of two rela- tifes. 1t follows: “Dear Sir:. When the cemetery in Christian Lane was cleaned up, were the old graves left marked in any way where no stones had been placed? “My mother and sister are buried ! there, side by side (so I recall it) to :he left of the entrance way, near the main road, but no stone marks them, Sould I find them were I to come there, or have you a burial record to thow where Sarah Belden and (later) “#a Belden were buried? I wish to place stones at ' the head of their fraves. Sarah Belden was buried “here forty-six years ago. My sister E£lla was taken there from a cemetery n this city adout forty-two years ago. “Kindly ask the sexton if he has records of these interments and where in the yard they are located, so I can find them.” . There were no records of the inter- ments on the books in the town clerk’s cfice so Mr. Shaw was obliged to make a personal investigation at the graveyard. With the assistance of William Bulkeley’s wonderful memory lie found the graves in question. They were mad eso long ago that there was not even a mound over them, which accounts for their being overlooked when the cemetery was placed in re- pair. el 8-Hour Shifts at Power House. The New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad company has changed the working hours for men employed in the power house in Ken- sington. Now all the workmen put in eight hours a day, there being three of these shifts. Formerly, the coal passers, engineers and oilers worked ten hours and the firemen nine hours. The local power house sends a cur- rent of 11,000 volts'to sub-stations in Middletown, Meriden, North Haven and Unionville. Get Postal From Daughter. On a postal card which she sent on July 28 to her parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Lincoln of Farmington road, Miss Lista Lincoln wrote that she in- tended to leave for Venice, Italy on the following day. It is thought that she is still in Italy. This is the last that the Lincolns have heard from their daughter. Miss Lincoln is a teacher in a New Britain school and it is probable that she will not be able to reach home in time for the beginning of the school term. Girls to Have House Party. Eight local girls, the Misses Grace, May and Ruth Skinner, Elsie Can- field, Alberta Elton, Marie Grasse, ’Elsie, Pickett and Marjorie Canfield | and one New Haven girl, ‘will leave tomorrow to enjoy a house party at Indian Neck, Branford, Conn., for one week. They will occupy “The Lo- rena” cottage and will be chaperoned by Mrs. Canfield. Flora Night at Grange Tuesday. Next Tuesday will be Flora night at the Berlin Grange and, at this time, prizes will be awarded to those mem- bers who bring the best collections of flowers from their gardens. Mrs, Charles Warner of Kensington is the Flora of the local grange and she will have charge of the program, being as- sisted by Ceres and Pomona.

Jones’ backyard early last evening and trave] to their homes by rail. Sailor Boy Leaves. Joseph Golen, son of Mr. and Mrs, S. J. Golen of Norton road, Berlin, | left yesterday to join his mates on the U, S. 8. San Francisco, after hav- ing enjoyed a furlough of twenty days. Golen, who was at Vera to a by the American forces, expects do duty on the western coast for few years. Autoist’s Nurrow Escape. A lone automobilist, tearing along the turnpike in a southerly direction in a heavy touring car late last night, ran off the. road almost apposite Louis Edelson’s farm. After bouncing along in the weeds for about twenty feet, he succeeded in swerving his car onto the rondway again, proceeding on his - i cuppied by Cruz shortly after that city was taken ! way at increased speed as if to make up for the time he lost, Registrars’ Last Meeting. Registrars of Voters Morse and Fagan met at the town clerk’s office this noon and will be in session until 9 o'clock tonight. “This is the last meeting of the registrars for the en- rollment of voters this year, and all those who are not already voters will have to send in their applications to- day if they wish to vote in this fall's election, Last week very few names were added to the lists and today they seemed to be coming in very slowly. The registrars expect that more may enroll tonight after they finish their day’s work. Rev. E. M. Pickop Preaches Sunday. Rev. E. M. Pickop, pastor of the Kensington Methodist church, has written the Berlin correspondent of | his intention t&" be in his pulpit here next Sunday. He is now in attend- ance at the Northfield conferences and summer schools.

List: LIVELY CAMPAIGN 1S EXPECTED Candidate Babcock Lines Up ‘With License Advocates—Has Tilt With Chairman of Citizen®’ Committee— Mrs. Vinton Gets Increase. Leaders of the forces which will oppose the efforts of the temperance people to make Plainville a no license town after the town election in October virtually opened their cam- paign today, representatives of the liquor ~interests doing considerable quiet hustling tp get the names of eligibles in the hands of the regis- trars to make it podsible for them to take the elector's oath when the selectmen meet to make voters.e This is the last day allowed for the filing of names and.the registrars will be in session until nine o’clock this eve- ning to give all an opportunity to get on the list “to be made.” The liquor dealers and voters in favor of a license town admit that the prospects of one of the hottest contests in the history of the town look favorable for this fall. Although the temperance people have not been making a great de: of noise it has been generally known that they have not been idle and they have made plans for a vigorous onslaught against John Barleycorn. The license advo- cates have anticipated such a move since last October when the ‘“drys” took them by surprise and rolled up a big vote, the town remaining in the “wet” list by a majority of but twelve. Bristol's action in voting no license for a period of two years and its natural result, the regular visits from thirsty citizens of that city is expected to have some effect on the vote here in October and the tem- perance people believe it will bring into their ranks a dinarily cast their ballots saloon. It is said that the “drys” plan to hold prohibition meetings in some of the churches before the elec tion and they will make a concerted number who or- | for the | attempt to put the lid on liquor sell- | ing here. Some of the political leaders, real- izing that the license question will overshadow all other issues in the election, are already making known their stand and before October, it is expected the candidates for office will line up with one side or the other. George S. Babeock, who is working | energetically to win the republican nomination ‘for first selectman, has announced to his supporters, supporters and possible allies,, Plainville should - continue as licensed town, who believes that prohibition does not prrohibit and in his opinion the com- munity is better off when it allows the sale of liquors in properly conducted saloons. Selectman Johnson has as yet had little or nothing to say concerning his cardidacy for the nemination to suc- ceed himself. In fact he has not stated positively that he will be in the rice at caucus time although it is generally expected that he will put up a fight to remain at the helm another year. Consequently he has not com- mitted himself on the license question. Babcock and Lamb Have Tilt. John E. Lamb and George S. Bab- cock had a lively verbal tilt yesterday over matters concerning the town and tfor several minutes war clouds are said to have hovered near them. Mr. Babcock in his campaign for the selectmanship has expressed him- self on several issues and has come out, openly for Sunday baseball. He claimed to be in favor of permitting William H. Scinski, owner of the New Britain team, to play the game adver- tired for last Sunday, and he . was strong in his denunciation of church- men and other citizens who were re- that a sponsible for the filing of the com- | plaint with deputy sheriffs causing the magnate to be threatened with arrest until he cancelled the exhibition. Mr. Lamb has served as chairman of the citizens' committee appointed two years ago to stop Sunday baseball and in the absence of Rev. F. L. Grant he was regarded as the leader of the apposition to certain violations of the blue laws. There was a lively exchange of un- complimentary terms over this issue when the men met yesterday and it was said that there were verbal pyro- technics flying in all directions. Peusion Increased. Mrs. Ellen C. Vinton of this place has received notice of an increase to $20 a month in the pension pald her by the government. The raise was ven through the efforts of Senator McLean.
