CAN DEPEND ON . . Berlin News SLARK-SAGE NUPTIAL " INVITATIONS ISSUED, Town's Oldest Families Are to Be | “ United September 20 'REV. $. A. FISKE 0 OFFICIATE Ceremony to Be Performed in Parlor Dodd Homestead—Only One | Expected . of Contest at Republican | €gucus Tomorrow Evening, Announcements were ‘issued this morning for the approaching wedding 8 Pdwin I. Clark and Miss Hattie W, ge. The ceremony will be per- med in the home of Mr, and Mrs. George Dodd, September 20, at 3 sclock in ~the afterncon by Rev. Saiguel A. Fiske, pastor of the Berlin Congregational church. The marriage of Mr. Clark and Miss ge will be the means of uniting two of the town's oldest families. Both the Clark and Sage families have been residents of Berlin over 200 years, years of strict lovalty to the flag, country and town. Ancestors of the cugmracting parties took prominent parts in the Revolutionary war, the war of 1812, the Mexican war and Mr. Clark fought on the Union ‘slde n the struggle of 1861. Miss Sage's #ather also fought on the northern gide in the Civil war, Mr. Clark for years followed agri- exlture and was very successful in his chosen line. For a time he was'| very active in politics, having served the town as first selectman for eight years. He also served as prosecutor end since retiring from_active life, his opinions are asked on matters per- taining to the welfare of the town. This will be Mr. Clark’s second venture on the matrimonial sea, his firgt wife having died about two vears ago. X > FEnrollment Completed.

A moderator and clerk will be chosen and the caucus will proceed to business, From present indications there will L« but one contest—that for the first selectmanship. It is very probable the caucus will follow the lead of the republican canvention in New Haven and start balloting without any rominating speeches. As the town clerk hold office two years there will be no balloting for that office. The caucus will nominate twa selectmen, a tax collector, assessors, board of Telief, constables, grand jurors and | auditor. The excitement of the even- ing, if there is any, will all center on ihe choosing of a standard bearer for first seleetman. Despite the story that William H. Gibney has refused | to announce himself a candidate for re-election, his many friends are said to be working hard in his interests. His strongest opponent, at present, appears to be Judge Willard I. Alling of Kensington, George Carter also has a following, while over in East Berlin the recent boom for R. O. Clark seems to be growing. Followers of all the candidates have been put- ting forth the merits of their respec- tive choices for the past two weeks and it may require many ballots to sclect the party’s choice, No opposition is expected for the other offices and it is probable that all the other town officers, who are will- ing, will be again asked to bear the party’s standard. Newton Baldwin, the present second selectman, has a large following, who desire to see him returned and he will probably be the unanimous choice of the party. C. F. Lewis has made an excellent tax collector and has every reason to be extremely proud of his record. Mr. Lewis has just completed the collec- tions on the 1914 tax book, which amounted to approimately $33,000. This is the record collection in the history of the town and it is safe to say he will recelve the unanimous endorsement of the caucus. The other offices, which are to be filled again this year will probably have the sime holders as at present. All have given general satisfaction and the concensus of opinion about town is that all should be asked to run again. Bryan H. Atwater, who has been town auditor, for some years, will again be presented to the voters to fill the position, which he has done in such excellent manner. To Finish Ridge Job. The Suzio company of Meriden is now on the last lap of the Worthing- ton Ridge job. This morning work was started on the curbing and gut- | ters and already is going along in rapid fashion. It is expected the en- tire work will be finished in another fortnight. Convention Pleases. The action of the republican state convention in nominating Governor Holcomb for another term receives the unanimous endorsement of the town's G. O. P. follawers. The senti- ment locally was always for Governor Holcomb, which was attested by the recent caucus, when the local dele- gates were instructed to vote for him. The remainder of the ticket is also pleasing and leaders of the party freely predict a large republican majority at the polls this fall. Swedish Republicans Meet The semi-annual meeting of the local Swedish republican club will be | held in the town court room this cvening at 8 o'clock. Officers for the ensuing six months will be elected and a discussion on the town, state and national political situation will Fall's Family Pills for constipation. follow.

He was the recipient of many congratulations from his many friends as they called for the mail. Briefs. dward U. Cowles, son of Mr. and Mrs. S. M. Cowles of Kensington, is expected home tomorrow. Mr. Cowles, who is a graduate of Trinity and at present a student at the Hartford Theological Seminary, has had charge of the Congregational church in Stod- dard, N. H during the summer months. He will spend the few weeks prior to the seminary opening, with his parents. Court Mattabessett F. meet this evening. The conditions of Lucille' Skinner and Agnes Morse were reported to be improving this morning. Miss Mildred Harringtin of East Berlin has returned from a visit with friends in Jaffrey, New Hampshire. Mr. and Mrs. Roland Bartress and family have returned to their home in Brooklyn after a visit with Mrs. Anna Mildrum of East Berlin. ‘\/laple Hill The following notice has been re- ceived from Mr. Pratt, superintendent of the Newington schools: The open- ing of the Newington schools has been postponed until Monday, Septem- ber 11. This year the schools will not be closed for Berlin fair because we do not believe our school children should attend, and thus not only ex- pose themselves but the entire school to any new opportunities for infan- tile paralysis, I urge all parents to keep their children from the fairs this fall. Whea the schools open if school children have been away on vacations out of town, and have not been back here in Newington two weeks, they must secure from the town health of- ficer, John Fish, Newington Junction, certificates permitting them to attend unless there can be no possible ques- tion as to the safety of their attend- ing. The Newington school buildings are in the open country, where the windows are open the rooms are flood- ed with fresh, pure air. For this rea- son the Newington pupils do not suf- fer the same dangers, as their city neighbors do in regard to transfer and acquisition of contagious diseases, while in school. The teachers have been instructed to use every precau- tion they know to eliminate any pos: bility of sickness in our schools. Par- ents are urged to send their children to school as free from fear of disease as possible, for fear helps the child to acquire disease. They are also urged to use unusual precations to keep-their children well rested and nourished for a well rested and vigorous child can resist disease germs much better than a sleepy, fatigued or poorly nourished | child. of A. will Mrs. T.

Ralph E. Morrill was elected presi- dent of the newly organized Plain- ville Young Men’s club at an | thusiastic meeting held last evening in | the Town hall where those interested | in the plan of forming a society for the physical and mental development of the young people assembled to | adopt by-laws and make other prepa- rations for the beginning of the sea- son’s activities. Mr. Morrill has been a hard worker for the club since the idea of organizing was suggested and | it is expected that under his leader- en- | | numerical strength and influence as well. Other officers were named lows: < Vice president—Theodore A. man. Secretary—John L. Ahlquist. Treasurer—Peter Prior. Directors—For three years, Charles R. Sherman; for two years, Donald Benjamin; for one year, Harry Bon- ney. Membership ~ committee—Willard Cowles, Robert Hird, Cecil Bedford, Roger Sherman and Wesley Kava- naugh. Over forty were present at the meeting and considerable interest in the plans was shown. Reports of committees which have been at work on the preliminaries were accepted, the members showing particular inter- est in the statement of the workers on “Tag Day.” Appreciation was ex- pressed for the support given the “taggers” by the townspeople,and the members also stated their gratitude for assistance in other forms that has been rendered by local people. An effort will be made to get the charter membership up to seventy- five early in the fall. All young men and boys of the town are eligible to join. The dues Have been made but a nominal amount, boys under eight- een paying but $2 a year while those approaching man's estate are to be charged $4 annually. The meecting last night was advised that there is already $71 in the treasury and the work of fitting up the Town hall for use as a gymnasium has been com- pleted although additional apparatus ‘will of course be installed as the or- ganization develops. Classes will meet four nights a week from 7:30 to 8:30 after which there will be basketball practice with exhibition games at intervals. The classes will be under the instruction of John L. Ahlquist and Harry Bonney who have been chosen for leaders. At first all members will be in a single class but after the attendance grows to expected proportions there will be but junior and senior divi- sions. The first meeting for class in- struction will be held next Monday night. as fol- Ly- School Board Meeting. That school children and teachars as well will be from moving picture theaters and avoid as much as possible other pub- lic gatherings until the schools re- open on September 18 was the senti- ment of members of the school board expressed at the September meeting held last evening. While there is danger of an epidemic of infantile paralysis every precaution must be taken to minimize the risk and the school board is co-operating with the health officer in his efforts to prevent the spreading of the malady here. The board has ordered deferred un- til September 18 the re-opening of the schools and has instructed all teachers to report here not later than tomorrow. Children at present out of town must also be back by tomorrow if they wish to enter school when the term begins. The board expects that they will remain in Plainville quring the observation period as much as pos- sible and it does not propose to toler- ate theater-going by either the young- sters or the teachers. Those who do not adhere to the rules will be barred from the schools until it is made a certainty that they are not carrying spending a few days with Mrs. Tucker. G. K.

SLATER’S 843-845 Main Street, Hartford. Big opening germs with which other pupils might become infected. Some of the teachers arrived in town today and it is expected that the others will report tomorrow. At the home of Charles H. Calor it was said today that the condition of Rhinehardt Zabel, who is a paraly- sis patient, is becoming more favor- able and the attending physicians are somewhat encouraged over the case. Mr Calor’s factory has been closed for the week, principally because of the absence of the owner who, with other members of his family, is under quar- antine. Democrats Tonight. Local democrats will assemble to- night in the Town hall to name dele- gates to the state, congressional and senatorial conventlons of their party. There will be but little interest in the caucus and contests are not expected. Delegates favorable to the nomina- tion of Augustine Lonergan for con- gress are likely to be named. Be- cause of the absence of candidates for governor and other state offices and a similar condition regarding the senatorlal nomination these delegates will not receive instructions from the caucus. License Vote Petition. Paving the way for the opening of the campaign which they hope will make Plainville a “dry” town, leaders of the prohibition forces are circu- lating a petition calling for a vote on the license question at the annual town election next month. The pe- tition must be in the hands of the town clerk by Tuesday, the last day allowed by law for filing. The signa- tures of at least ten per cent. of the voters must be secured to the appli- cation. The men handling the peti- tlon state that they are having no trouble in securing names and they expect that there will be at least one hundred names on the document when it Is handed to the town clerk. Plans are In process of development for another hard fight against the liquor interests and during the next few weeks it is the intention to hold rallies and to adopt other methods of getting *“No” votes. The liquor dealers do not seem to be greatly worried over the outcome. The impression seems to prevail at this time that license will again win out although the majority is not liable to be very large. Local Republicans Pleased. Plainville republicans were happy today because of the victory of the Holcomb forces at the republican state convention in New Haven terday and they were free to predict that the party will easily carry ,the state as a result of the action of the delegates in renominating the present incumbent of the governor’s office. The local delegates, S. S. Gwillim and E. H. Hills were out for Holcomb from the first and voted for him on each of the ballots taken. Holcomb is exceedingly popular in Plainville and there is reason to believe that he ves- Is a deceptive discase— thousands have it and KIDNEY TROUBLE S5 057 s Jou can make no mistake by using Dr. Kilmer's | Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy.

When the British first smashed through the Germans said that we were in a sack. So we were, in one sense. But we had to make (an opening in that solid line of de- fense as a start in our plans. We knew | the hardest work would come after the great main attack, and this is so far accomplished that now it is the Germans who are in a sack. “If we prefer to end the summer offensive and wait for spring, when | we shall have quardrupled the number of guns and so much ammunition that we shall have to keep up daily a battle of guns on four times the length of the present front with all the shell | fire of the biggest day in this sumk | mer’s offensive in order to consume the supplies arriving daily across the | channel, why, our present position of artillery and infantry means simply that we could kill two Germans to | every Briton the Germans kill. This was the first step. What the others [are to be only the commanders of the allied armies know “Army With Its Head in the Afr.” The British and French successes this week had an extraordinary effect on both armies. The ability of the French to make a second drive over the broad front and the same sector as that of the big offensive of the first of July brought ccnviction to the professional sceptics. “Go over and see the French,” said the British officer, “if you want to see an army | with its head in the air.” | Not even the weather can dampen the high spirits of both armies. The rain has been of the persistent, chilly autumn style. Men who came out of trenches plastered with chalky clay, who had been charging under a weight of sixty pounds equipment and then lying in miniature ponds made by shell holes or on the wet earth digging and wallowing in the mud, say Guillemont is taken and that pays for their hardships. The many new highways which the British - bullt with ponderous road- making machines brought from Eng- land and the new railways which are part of Sir Douglas Haig's policy have saved transports from being mired. Supplies have gone up as usual through the storms without interrup- tion. In the camps at the rear the soldlers make themselves little tents with their rubber blankets, under which they cluster for sheiter from the downpour. They manage to keep partly dry, but those in the fighting 1 line expect to be saturated. Whether private soldier in his shel= ter tent or general in his automobile, all take the viewpoint it wiil take many months of fighting to bring the war to a close, but none has a shadow of doubt of ultimate victory for the entente allies.
