Patrick Garrity of Farmington Road is very much interested in the‘ present Mexican situation because of the fact that his brother, John T. fs probably on the scene of action. John T:-Garrity has been one of Uncle Bam’'s soldier boys for a number of year He first enlisted in 1901 and s sent to the Phillppines, where he rémsdined until 1906 . He was mus- teréd out and resided here until 1909, when the call of the army was more than he could stand, and he re-enlist- ed, again returning to the Philipplne Islands. ~ While there he had charge of the cavalry horses. He applied ‘thimself diligently to his duties and was rewarded with the rank of ser- geant in Troop B. of the Eighth cav- alry. Sergeant Garrity did not sce his native town again until last spring when he was the guest of his brother for six months A soldier in the islands is given one month furlough every vear. Sergeant Garrity staved In‘the service for six years and too¥ “iis furlough at one time. The timec Epent in the Philippines counts double g0 Sergeant Garrity has nearly twenty-four years of service to his eredit. Last fall he left for California to join his troop, which later was trans- erred to El Paso, Texas. His letters bave been few and far between, nut hig brother is very anxious concerning his whereabouts, since the Americen ;;oops have entered Mexico. No word nas been received from him for four months. When he left last fall, he said he would remain in service for geven years more, when he will be re- tired on a pension of $65 a month, and spend the remainder of his days In Kensington. Sergeant Garrity Is anly forty years old and will have served thirty vears in the regular army before ne passes the fiftieth milestone of his career. Sun Brings Out Buds. The warm sun of vesterday and this morning has been of considerable vaiue to the local peach growers. This morning an inspection -was made of the trees in the Connecticut Valley d and buds were iound on v every tree. J. Molumphy said the situation looks very promis- ing and he expects a large crop of the luscious fruit this year. More buds have been killed this winter than usual, but the feeling is the sutput will compare favorably with recent rs.

The republicans anxious’ to be victorious in state and national as well as local eam- paigns. No little concern is shown in the proposed contest for senator from this district between Dwight Rogers of Southington and A. H. Condell. Sentiment in this town seems to be equally divided. The main interest locally is the| choice for the next representative ! from the town. Many are in favor of | returning Dr. R. M. Griswold, who, they claim, has made a very good rec- ord. Dr, Griswold proved himself 2a| his colleagues was shown n chairman of the dence of when he was chos committee on public health. Other names are being discussed, one being Francis Deming, treasurer of the Berlin Savings bank. His in- timate friends have talked among themselves and will ask him to an- nounce soon whether he is in an ac- ceptable mood. They point to his rec- ord as a worker for the best inter- ests of the town and feel he would make an ideal man for the position. Other names heard about town are Colonel Charles M. Jarvis and ex-Rep- resentative Claude W, Stevens. The democrats are also interested in the political situation and will make a strong endeavor to win at the com- ing elections. John A. Moore, chai man of the town committee, shid this morning his committee would meet soon and select the members of the party for places on the ticket. It is expected the ball will soon be rolling and will not stop until the presiden- tial election this fall. The last time thne democrats held the representative- ship was when they elected the late Nelson F. Taylor and members of the party say conditions are propitious for their return to power. Wants Rags Saved. Postmasters H. L. Porter ana W. W. Fagan have received circulars from Secretary Redfield of the department of commerce, which are posted in both offices. The notices state the paper manufactuers are confronted by a shortage of material and requests all Dpostoffices and others to save all old papers and rags and sell them to local junk dealers. It is hoped by this means that the danger of a paper shortage will be averted. Trees in Bad Shape. Tree Warden C. ¥. Johnson has re- ceived several complaints lately r garding the trees of the town. The winter has been unusually severe on the trees and unless something is done immediately, several of them will have to be cut down. The beautiful tree in front of the Berlin Congregational church parsonage on Worthington Ridge felt the ravages of the wintry elements and must be chained up, if it is to be saved. Mr. Johnson is plan- ning to start work on the trees as soon as weather conditions will per- mit. Briefs. Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Carbo of Kens- ington are receiving congratulations on the arrival of a daughter. Miss Mae Flynn of Southington will leave the employ of the American Pa- per Goods company tomorrow after two years’' service as a stenographer. Miss Flynn has accepted a similar po- sition with Peck Stowe & Wilcox of Southington. The condition of Julius Collins was reported to be about the same this morning. Mrs. Frank P. Day, who recently un- derwent an operation for appendicitis at the New Britain General hospital, returned to her home in Kensington yesterday. James Buckley and John Cashman of Kensington left for New York on a business trip this morning. Mrs. H. N.

L. Beardslcy, | vesterday notified First Selectman | Johnson of its acceptance of the ul- | timatum recently delivered concern- | ing the lighting of Whiting street. | The trolley people the terms of | the new agreement are to illuminate | the higshway between by Maple and | Broad streets from sunset to sunris furnishing three eighty candle power | lamps to take the place of the ten | sixteen candle power bulbs which | have been in use since the expiration of the last contract for street light- ! ing. At present the current is turned off at midnight, after which the street 1s practically in darkness. Threatcning to appeal to the pub- lic utilitles commission for better service Selectman Johnson asked the company to arrange to have the lights burn all night. While the little bulbs | used by the troley people were not satisfactory, the town’s principal complaint concerned the refusal of the company to furnish any light af- ter the last car left for New Britain. Some phases of the order issued by the court at the time the company was permitted to extend its trolley line to Southington were confusing and there was a question as to whether the town could force the cor- poration to give all night service. The court instructed the company to furnish the light while there was danger from the operation of its cars. The trolley officlals claimed that it | simply made it necessary for them to use the lights while the were | running. It was the contention of the selectmen that the snow removed from the rails and piled on the high- way was a source of danger resulting | from the operation of cars and on | that account a strict Interpretation of | the mandate would malke it apparent | that the company would be respon- slble for accidents to vehicles occur- ring after midnight, unless the ser- vice was given until sunrise. Wednesday Selectman Johnson had the 'Enited Electric Tight and Water company install four eighty-candle- rower mps on the street, the town to pay the expense pending a settle- ment of its differences with the trol- ley management. Yesterday Manager Beardsley advised him that the com- pany’ had decided to concede the point raised by the town and would pay for three of the incandescents, the ex- pense of the fourth to go on the regu- lar lighting contract. The selectmen are naturally pleased over thelr victory, as it relieves a sit- uation that was at least unpleasant and might prove somewhat expensive, as it would ‘be necessary to engage counsel if the case was taken to the utilitles board. It is believed that the four lights will illuminate the highway satisfac- Ty to change the location of some of them, how- ever, and it is planned to give the company new instructions as to the positions of the lamps. May Have New Chairman. Chairman E. H. Hills of the town ned the call for the republican caucus to be held in the Town hall next Thursday night at which time delezates to the state and congressional conventions to be held in Hartford on April 11 and 12 will be selected. There does not appear to be any contest for the honmor. It is expected that both Mr. Hills and Rep- resentative E. T. Carter will be named, one for each convention. The town is entitled to two representatives at the sessions. Tn addition to selecting delegates, the republicans will name a town committee to serve during the next two years. Tt was reported today that Mr. Hills is anxious to be relieved of the duties “of the chairmanship and will seek to have a new leader ap- pointed. For the past few vears it has been the custom to have the cau- cus name the chairman, permitting him to select his oWn associates. This methoed augurs for harmony on the board and will probably be emploved at the meeting next week. As there are state and, national elec- tions this fall in addition to the an- nwal town meeting the town commit- tee will have plenty of work and the duties of the chairman will be somewhat arduous. ~ Mr. Hills has made an excellent leader and prow inent members of the party are an ious to have him continue at the head of the organization. Want Naval Recruits. The navy will be represented by a recruiting officer at the Southington post office every Tuesday from 9 to 12 o’clock in the morning, according to notice received here by Postmaster Prior. The navy is seeking new re- cruits and the officer’s visits to South- ington will be made for the purpose of interesting young men in this lo- cality in the service, Postmaster Prior was asked to play the notice at the post office that Plainville youths might be interested. | { | | cars 1 @ 1 € c e a v s ¥ t v dis- Draw Goods From Depot.
