Tonight McInnis and King of the Poli circuit are expected to provide the entertainment which should be of exceptional interest. Another attraction at the fair will te the five boys in blue from Keeney's theater. These “boys” in blue are ald Grand Army veterans and they have a musical act that is very good, to say riothing of its patriotic nature Al- though feeble in health and advanced in vears, these old soldiers, who a balfcentury ago offered their lives for their country, today exhibit a spirit ‘that refreshing. Thelir act is one that is deserving of great praise and Fother Brennan declares that he feels fertunate in securing thelr services. The fair ends tomerrow night with thk awarding of prizes. As a spe- clal inducement to the young lady canvassers three prizes for the greatest number of tickets sold will be offered. They will be: First choice watch or diamond ring; sec necklace; third, lavalliere. Suffrage Meeting.

Continuing his efforts to make ar- | rangements for the installation |in the election next month, First Se- lectman Johnson made Hartford today in the state Johnson a second trip the hope of commissianer. to locating Mr. siderable ground in the past few days trying to solve the problem which the { voters provided when they decided ta temporarily at least discard the Aus- tralian ballot while they experimented with the machines and he admitted this morning that the outlook is rathet discouraging. Failing to get a satisfactory offer fram the International exchange, which insists on charging a rental of $75 for each machine used in the election, Mr. Johnson made a trip to New Britain yesterday in the hope of locating Attorney D. E. O’'Keefe, agent for the American Vating Ma- chine company. The lawyer was not to be found and the selectman had to be content with leaving a message for him. He next journeyed to Hartford to confer with the state commissioner but he too was absent from his office. Mr. Johnson got on the latter’s trail again today. Advocates of the machine plan af voting, hearing of the selectmen’s de- cision of going back to the Australian ballot if they cannot get a better propositian than that offered by the International exchange, have voiced their objection to any plan not in ac- cord with the resolution adopted by the recent meeting and they declare that the board has no course to fol- low other than that outlined in the instructions given by the sesslon. They claim that the superior merits o the apparatus over the old method will be easily demonstrated once the machines are tried aut and as the $150 rental charge will be applied on the purchase price in case the ma- chines are subsequently made town property, the selectmen should not ccmplain. Should the voters be dis- satisfied with them they can offer no criticism of the selectmen anyway, as in securing the machines the board will be simply carrying out the in- siructions given them. While the adoption of the machine for the election was formally br®ight about over a week ago the selectmen admit that they have made no pro- gress whatever. They figure that the manufacturers of the contrivance are seemingly not anxious to sell to Plain- ville as not a single one of them has even taken thetrouble to send & Tep- resentative here ta submit a proposi- tion. Selectman Johnson is of the opinion that because of the short time remaining before the election the machine builders deduce that the town will have to rent apparatus at any flgure the owners are willing to quote. They regard the offer of the Irternatianal exchange as a “hold-up” and they do not propose to submit to it has been covering con- At present they are in a dilemma ard they know not what course to fallow. Developments must result within a few davs at most as the resolution passed last week will neces- | sitate the calling of another special tewn meeting hefore election if ar- rongements to get the machines here £re not made.

The boy seems to be in good health, tut the paralysis remairs in his arms and legs. He can walk but very lit- tle and one of his arms is almost life- less. The doctors state that they can Go nothing but walit for developments, although they have decided to take the youngster to a specialist for treat- ment, after a reasonable time is given nature to restore his constitution. The quarantine at the Calor home, where the boy has been living, is no longer enforced, and it is not believed that there i{s any danger of spreading the disease - Powers-Brainerd Wedding. With Rev.
