DY c HAVING AN AUTOMOBILE Berlih News ~ BIG WAR PREVENTS - FAMILY REUNION Michael Rogers Plans Home for Wile and Daughter TALY WANTS A SOLDIER Guy )l"ullvr Observes 68th Birthday— 3 ;oound of Union Meetings of Kens- ington Churches Tonight—Couple l“l.xe First Quarrel—Other News. Michael Rogers, who recently pur- chased the Bandbox hoolhouse with the fdea of turning it into a-dweliing house, is very pecved with the Italian government. Rogers left sunny , Ttaly about ten years ago and came to < this country fer the purposé .of mak- ing his fortune. He has prospered here and now feels though he would like to have his family, consist- ing of a wife and daughter, with him once again, for at the tim¢ his de- parture from his native land, he could not afford to bring them with him, When he left I v, he intended to scome to this country, make his for- tune and then rcturn to the land his birth to pass his declining days He lived on a farm on the outskirts of Naples, but when he reached the shores of America he went to work in the factories. Part of his wages he ‘sent to his wife and after deducting weekly expense he pilaced the re- mainder in bank When Italy entered the war he, in common with the rest of the Italian reservists,” received no- tice that his country would expect him to return and fight for its cause. Several times he had the purpose in ind of taking out naturalization pa- pers in this country but kept putting it off so when the summons came he ignored it. Thus he made himself persona non grata with the bosses of | Italy. Last July, Rogers purchased steam- ship tickets and sent them to his wife in Italy. After a month anxious *walting, he received a letter from her in which she said the officials would not allow her to leave the country while the war was in progress. Since then she has made several ineffectual attempts to board ocean com- ing to these shores. Rogers s writ- ~ ten many times to the Italian consul 1t Washington, but none of his let- ters brought any reply. Consequent- ly, he is in a diler'na the outcome of which he does not W Last weck, Rogers receiv F: ter from his wife which said that his na- tive country is alive with war spirit and every day thousands of soldiers leave for the front. Regarding the length of the war, the people are un- certain, but the feeling pervades the allies will surely win. The leiter also Lnformed him that a cousin, Mike Co- Pora, lost his left arm in a battle on the Austrian frontier in September. Mr. Rogers says he will go ahead and fix up the old schoolhouse into a ten- ement house and trust he will have his family with him {n the neay Obscrves Birthday About twenty friends of Guy IFulicr Bt Stocking Corner calicd at his home of future ~~ TVING FOR NEW ALI.

SANFORD A DIRECTOR Believed Here That Company Will Build Factory on Rockwell Prop- erty in Plainville—Rebekah Officers Installed—No Contagious Diseases. Significance is attached locally to the announcement from the office of the secretary of state that an organ- ization certificate was filed the capitol yesterday by the Rockwell- Drake company of Hartford, Plain- \ille people believing that the action was one of the first steps in the de- velopment of a plan for the establish- ment of a manufacturing plant here to compete with the New Departure corporation of Bristol. Although the at the men connected with proposed enterprise have been quoted as both affirming and denying the report that they have definitely decided to locate the plant on the property recently purchasd here by A. F. Rockwell of Bristol, local people emingly are satisfleq that within a <hort time ground will be broken for a good size building in which the manufacture of ball bearings will be started. According to the articles of incor- poration Hugh M. Rockwell, a son of the former president of the New De- parture company, is to head the new concern. Leon A. Drake, who is at present assoclated with him in the manufacturing business with a plant in Hartford, is the secretary and treasurer. George L, Sanford, assist- ant treasurer of the Wallace Barnes company of Bristol, who recently left that mpany ostensibly to join Mr. Rockwell in the Marlin Arms com- pany’s factory, is named as a direc- ton of the new corporation. Mr. San- ford is a smilled mechanic and like Rockwell and Drake is familiar with the ball bearing industry. It 1is thought that he will take a prominent pert in the management of the busi- ness. The new company is capitalized at $32,500, the stock divided into 325 shares. $10,400 has been paid in in cash and $20,000 in property. $100 has been paid for each share of stock ibed for except twenty-five on which $400 has been paid. . Rockwell recently admitted to the Herald that his company would soon locate in Plainville, although he was unwilling to go into details be- cause he said the plans had not been sufficiently developed permit of a formal announcement He was sub- sequently quoted as saving that Plain- ville had but tentatively se- to heen lected as a site for the proposed plant. Numerous inquiries have heen re- cefved at the town clerk’s office from the Rockwell-Drake people regarding the power, etc., used by manufactur- ers. In one of them the company ex- pressed its intention of locating a rlant here, using electric current for its power, While: the officials persistently re- fuse to disclose their plans and give out no information, men close to them have declared that before spring DOCTOR SAVES A BLACKSMITH time ago T was taken with Kidney trouble which caused me to give up my work as blacksmith. I lost my appetite and could not sleep, from the dreadful pains that would come over me, from my kidneys. I was treated by a physician for about three months. He could not help me so finally he prescribed Dr. Kil- mer’'s Swamp-Root. I started tak- ing same and before T had finished taking the first bottle T began to eat and sleep better than T had in a long time. I continued to take same until I was entirely cured and took on con- siderable weight. I am now back working at my trade again and never felt better in my life. I appreciate what Swamp-Root has has done for me and will recommend it to anyone who suffers with their kidne When physicians fail to give relief and then prescribe Swamp- Root, they sure know of its merits.

No Contagious Diseases. Although Plainville has its share of grip and kindred maladies, Health Officer J. N. Bull reports that it is particularly fortunate in escaping so far the contagious diseases so pre- valent in other towns in the ‘While New Britain and other nearby places report cpidemics of diphtheria, disease here and the health officer is hopeful that the germs will continue giving the town a wide berth. Dr. Bull's records show that not a single contagious disease has been re- ported since November. ‘While the element of luck presumably enters largely into it, the absolute absence of these diseases for over two months may also signify that the conditions under which the townspeople are liv- ing are healthful. Rebekah Officers Seated. With Mrs. Louis Miller of Bristol, the district deputy grand master and he!’ staff in charge, the newly elected officers of Martha Rebekah lodge were seated last evening, members of the | SCTIetery: local organization and a large delega- tion from Ruth Rebekah lodge of Bristol, witnessing the exercises. Before the installation ceremonies, the guests were entertained at a tur- key supper served in the dining room of the Odd Fellows' hall. The ritual was impressively rendered by Mrs. Miller and her assistants and the meeting was most interesting. The elective officers taking the ob- ligations were: Noble Grand—DMrs. Anna Vance. Vice Grand—Mrs. Lula J. Pease. Financial Secretary—Mrs. Minnie Pease. Recording Secretary—Mrs. E. rill. Treasurer—Mrs. Frank Thompson. Panhandler Goes To Jail. Showing pronounced disapproval of the art of panhandling as practiced to a conslderable extent here of late, Justice E. P. Prior last evening sen- tenced John Bogart to jail for thirty days after testimony had been pre- sented to show that the accused had been a source of annoyance a number of local people during the day. Bogart was arrested by Constable Cornelius Downing after he had been ejected from several places in which he had tried to get money. He made a nuisance of himself and the officer finally locked him up. Bogart belongs in Holyoke. He was at one time emploved with the section gang on the railroad here but of late he has been depending on his ability to get finds through the medium of hard luck stories. Grand Juror Norton, who presented the case against him last evening, recom- mended a term in jail and Justice Prior adopted-the suggestion. Mor- Honors Gwillim's Memory.
