The ceremony will take place December 1 at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Leland Gwatkin. ‘Want Building Line. There is considerable agitation among the residents of the Beech Swamp road in favor of the town adopting a building line. This is one of the fastest growing parts of the town, three houses being con- structed there at present. One of the houses is some distance in front of the others on the right Neighbors of the owner have asked him to keep his place in a line with the remainder of the buildings on the street. He is contemplating having a barn built in_the rear of the house and does not think he will have enough room for it if he moves the house back. Of course the neigh- bors do not blame him .for that but they are of the opinion the town should adopt a building line so there will be no discord in the future, when many more houses will be construct- Ford Overturns. Superintendent of Schools J. W. Dows and Miss Nellie Dunleavy, a teacher in the Blue Hills school, are congratulating themselves today on their escape from serious injury yes- terday, when a Ford touring car in which they were riding was over- turned on the Blue Hills road. Mr. Dows was taking Miss Dunleavy to the school from her boarding place. The wind was creating havoc with the cover of the machine and the driver stood up to fix the flap with one hand, the other being on the steer- ing gear. Just as he was about to resume his seat the car swerved into the gutter and was overturned. Both the occupants were thrown to 'the ground, but fortunately escaped any injury. Moving Old Bridge. The new turnpike bridge will be open for traffic' tomorrow night and some of the troubles of the selectmen will be at an end, for they have been busy keeping the.detours in condition for the large number of automobiles which use them daily. Selectman Gibney started a town team moving the steel of the old bridge to the town farm this morning. The material is in excellent condition and will be very useful for the repairing of any of the other bridges around town. Kensington M. E. Church, Another large crowd was in at- tendance at the second night's exer- cises of the “Win My Chum” week which is being held at the church for four evenings this week. Last night's program opened at 6:30 o’clock when 100 persons sat down to a supper served by the Baraca class in the par- lor. At the close of the meal Mrs. | Pickop entertained the children in one | parlor while the older members gath- ered in another and listened to the program of the movement, which was given under the leadership of Rev. ‘Warren F. Cook of Trinity Methodist Episcopal church of New Britain. He with Rev. J. D. Roberts, pastor of the North church of Hartford, and Rev. L. Brooks, pastor of the South {church of Middletown, gave short ex- temporaneous addresses on the “Meth- odist Forward Movement.” The re- marks were listened to with much at- tention by their auditors. Oliver Nichols, president of the New Britain | side. | district of the Epworth league, also spoke. Briefs. The condition of Mrs. H. H. Spooner of Kensington, who is ill with pneu- monia at her home, remains about the same today. W. A. Moore, Wesleyan 1918, and E. | H. Martin, Wesleyan 1916, will be the [ speakers at tonight's gathering of the “Win My Chum” movement Kensington M. E. Church. The members of the East Berlin Knights of Pythias held an oyster sup- per after their meeting last night. Samuel Henry of Middletown, one of the lodge’s charter members, was the guest of the evening. The ladies of the Grange will hold ;a quilting | at the new Grange hall. The ladies :nf the town are cordially invited to | at the attend. Many members of St. Paul’s church, Kensington, will attend the whist and social given by Sacred Heart church in East Berlin tonight in that town. | Father Brennan will act as host to | the choir and Sunday school teachers. All members are requested to take the 7.41 p. m. trolley at the depot. Patrick Garrity of Kensington' was i taken to the New Britain General hos- pital this morning to take treatment for an internal trouble. Luby & Kleese, the concrete con- tractors, started repairing the con- crete road under the railroad bridge this morning. The Purists Take Kansas. (New York' Press.) He who thinks culture and espe- cially grammar, are indigenous to the East, would do well to reread some dispatches from Kansas. No longer may the natives of the Corn State be expected to indulge in a picturesque sort of verbiage which suggests Bret Harte's frontier tales. True the Kansans have made only a beginning. They are centring a | concerted attack upon that popular { but colloquial expression “ain’t” and they have formed an ‘“Anti- Ain’t" Association through which to carry on their propaganda. That is to be the starting point, but misuse of the words ‘‘come,” ‘“came” and “nice” is to be placed under the ban. Then, perhaps though this is only speculation, they will be ready to i form an organization for the promo- tion of the use of the semicolon. /A plea for a restoration of that punc- tuation mark recently was made by Henry James who deplored its grad- ual falling into disuse and pointed out, in polysyllabic and heavily punc- tuated sentences, why the mainten- ance of literature pure and unde- filed depended upon its retention. Such a pronouncement from a scion of Kastern letters, whose east- ness (as he might put it) was so im- perative that it landed him clear across the Atlantic and made him a British subject, clearly shows that the future of the language, including its semicolons, is clearly up to the West. Though the first organized aspira- tions of Kansas are modest, they may be even the forerunner of an orgy of the purists whose like the East has never yet contemplated. RAISE GREEK ARMY. Geneva, Switzerland, Nov. 11, via Paris, 5:25 a. m.—Despatches re- cefved from Athens say the Graek general staff has decided to put into ‘training all citizens who have not done military service.

IS HERE Of Pastor For Next Year—Plans For Harvest Festival—Saloonkeep- ers Hard Hit—Other Matters. Gratifying reports, showing an ex- cellent improvement in conditions, both from a religious and financial viewpoint, were presented to the offi- cial board of the Methodist church at the fourth quarterly conference held | last evening. It was the last om- cial visit of the district superintengent Rev. E. A. Dent, D.D. of New Haven, who presided, until after the New York East Conference and the busi- ness of the church was discussed at length. . Particularly interesting was the re- port of the pastor, Rev. A, A. Houck, | whose first year as leader of the | Although continuing his studies college, Mr. in Houck makes frequent to trips necessitated by services in the church, and his report showed that hé had accomplished a great deal since he was assigned to the local pastorate. 4 ‘When Mr. Houck came here the finances of the church were in rather discouraging shape. He put youth and vigor into his work and was kere but a short time when an im- provement was noticed. The finan- | cial statement presented to the board | last night gave evidence that the treasury is now in good condition, al- though there have been some extra- ordinary expenses due to improve- | ments made on the church property.

Marked Improvement in Finances ‘ No Action Taken Regarding Selection | APPLY SAGE TEA IF HAIR IS GRAY to Darken Her Hair and Nobody Knew. The use of Sage and Sulphur for restoring faded, gray hair to its nat- ural color dates back to grandmoth- er's time. She used it to keep her hear beautifully dark, glossy and abundant. Whenever her hair fei out or took on that dull, faded or fect. But brewing at home is mussy and out-of-date. Nowadays, by asking at any drug store for a 50-cent bottle of ‘Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com- pound,” you will get this famous old recipe which can be depended upon to restore natural color and beauty to the hair and is splendid for dan- druff, dry, feverish, itchy scalp and falling hair. A well-known downtown druggist says it darkens the hair so naturally and evenly that nobody can tell it has been applied. You simply dampen a this through your hair, taking onc strand at a time. By morning the gray hair disappears, and after an- other application or two it becomes beautifully dark, glossy, soft and abundant. lonesome without it during the winter. While the saloonkeepers were hard hit by the action of the Bristol voters in again legalizing the sale of liquors in their city, the rest of the town seems well satisfled with changed conditions. The center is more quiet at night and the street brawls which required the constant attention of the pclice have disappeared. Court sessions are much less frequent and the town is happier. Selectmen’s Meeting. Reports on the many applications for street lights will be presented at meecting of the selectmen this The board last week decided to make a tour of the town ., to look over the districts where new lights have been asked for and tonight the the cvening. Mr. Houck is extremely popular, not only with the Methodists, but with | the townspeople in general, and his return here for another year is hoped ' for. The matter will probably be taken up by the official hoard at some meeting hefore the conference and it is likely that a petition for the_pas- | tor's reappointment will be made. Harvest Festival Plans. | Reports of progress were presented at the meeting on the plans that have been made for the ninth annual festival to be held in the Methodist ' church parlors tomorrow night. The committees are expecting a large at- | tendance and they believe a substan- tial profit will be made. | Supper, consisting of chicken pie, celery, cranberry sauce, mashed po- tatoes and home made mince and pumpkin pie, will be served from 5 to 8 o'clock. | The entertainment committee has ' announced that a special program | will be furnished by students from | Wesleyan. Many of the members of | the famous glee club will be here and | a musical entertainment of excep- | tional merit is promised. | Saloons Hard Hit. Since Pristol went back into the ' license classification, Plainville sa~ | loonkeepers have missed the merry | tunes played on their cash registers and there has been a most noticeable falling off in activity in the cafes. During the two years that the neigh- boring city was ‘“dry,” the saloons here were. veritable bonanzas for their owners and the liquor dealers made more money than they had | ever dreamed of. 1 Things have changed with them since November 1st, however. There is need no longer of extra bartenders | and the decorations at the mahogany | rail can easily be counted, Bristolites getting their drinks at home. The local cafe owners have had their_licenses renewed without any opposition but nevertheless they are 1ot exhibiting the signs of content- ment which were apparent during the past two yvears. They miss Bristol's trade and admit that they will be ¢ OPEN NOSTRILS! END 4 A COLD OR CATARRH How To Get Relief When Head and Nose are Stuffed Up.

A number of new lamps have been asked for and the petitions will be acted on at a special mTeting of the voters to be held early in December. At that time the matter of renewing t with the United Electric Light and Water company will also be considered. The company offers but slight concessions for a renewal of the agreement which is to expire on January 1st, but as it has no com- petitors in this fleld, it is not likely that it will lose the business. An in- crease in the candle power of the lamps in use is all that the company will offer for a five year agreement, although its representatives have ad- vised the selectmen that the price per lamp will be reduced from $20 to $19 if the town is willing to make a ten year contract. The selectmen would prefer to have no change made in the candle power, the company giving five or six lights free instead, and they are working to have the lighting people agree to such a proposition before the matter is brought before a town meet- ing. . Selectman Johnson seemingly does not think the town can afford to in- stalt all the new lights that have been arked for, unless there is a raise ruther than the suggested reduction in the tax rate, and it is probable that there will be some pruning done be- fore a change in the number of lamps iz authorized by the voters.
