If a reasonable rest would bring back her health the board is perféctly willing that she take it rather than resign. A proposition may be put up to her wherepy she may take leave of absence for a stated time after which if her health has been restored she will re- turn to the Kensington school. Pre- ‘viougy to coming to Berlin she taught in one of the New York schools and thus she'has had valdable experience. Mrs, Gugerty has a pleasing person- ality that appeals to all of her pu- pils and while in the class room they work in perfect harmony with her suggestions. Mrs. Buckley is substi- tuting for Mrs. Gugerty at the present time. 4 “Love And Tea.” Tonight final preparations for the drama “Love and Tea” will be made by the cast that is to present the play for the benefit of Emma Hart Willard Chapter of the D. A. R. The play it- self will be presented to the public to- morrow evening in the Town hall at 8 o'clock, by the following cast: Miss Lavinia Beltwood, a spinster. . Miss Pauline Riley her Miss Helen Cowles a neighbor..... Miss Mary a neighbor. .Miss Esther Alling Mrs. Strong, a gossip. ciiesiiceaen....Mrs. Harold Upson Mandy, a slave....Miss Adele Bassett Judge Ingram, a bachelor of' Tory sentiments Fenn Nourse William Dickinson, a minuteman. . .... Grant Wickwire _Place—Viving room, time, April, 1775. ¥ Act TIL. June, 1775. The play was written at fhe in- stance of the D. A, R. by Anna Phil- lips Lee and the following will give a general idea of what it will be like. Miss Boltwood, a despotic spinster, is persuaded to join a band of ladies who have sworh to give up tea and all taxed articles till the Revolution- ary War_is over. The tea habit is strong for Miss Boltwood and she drinks it secretly. Her niece, Betty, discovers this and uses the informa- tion to compel her aunt to consent to her (Betty’s) engagement to the young minuteman, William Dickinson. Boltwood also has a lover, the udge Ingram, whom she has kept in suspense for vears. When he joins the patriotic cause and sho hears the false report that he has been arrested as a spy, she cham- pions him and finds that she -loves him, she becomes an ardent patriot also. All this just as he has decided that their friendship is ideal. Mandy, who is a privileged character, fur- nishes much fun. According to the reports of | ticket sellers the hall will to capacity tomorrow night when the hour of 8 approaches. Land Transfers Several land transfers have been re- ded in the town clerk’'s office the t several days. the most {mport- Nt being that of the Shuttle Meadow Club Inc. to Stanley R New Britain.

Whist Club Winners. The second January meeting of the Home Whist club was held last even- ing at the home of Mr. and Mrs. H. B. Cooley. Because of the absence of one of the male members of the club, Mrs. Griffith was prevailed upon to take the part of a man. As a result of her skillful playing she was award- ed the sgcond gentleman’s prize while her husband captured the first. Miss Tva Sheldon captured the first ladies’ prize and Miss Marjorie Moore the second., After the game a social time was held with the serving of refresh- ments. Berlin Briefs.

Sloan's Liniment H/ILLS PAINY i Here Tonight—Briefs. . Angered because of the refusal of the occupants to”provide him with breakfast, George Howard, a transient of an -insulting type, bombarded the | home-6f Alfred Anderson near White Oak with stones this morning and be- sides breaking the windows narrowly missed striking the little grand- daughter of the owner who was sleep- ing in her‘crib. Had not Mr. Ander- son stepped between the crib and the window to protect the child, she would undoubtedly have been in- jured as the shower of rocks came into the room as if thrown from a machine gun. One of themi struck Mr. Anderson a glancing blow but in- jured him only slightly. Howard is now in the awaiting a hearing before Justice Condell for his vicious actions, Con- stable Marino having taken him into custody a short time after he made his attempt to wreck the building.. Anderson is employed as foreman at the plant of the Connecticut Quar- ries company and lives near the crusher. Howard called during the morning and when he was refused his breakfast he threatened to do dire things to the family. He left the house but returned a short time later and proceeded to hurl stones through the windows. Responding to an emergency call Officer Marino hastened to the quarry and placed Howard under arrest, men at the plant having held him until the officer arrived. Tramps are frequent callers at the shacks near the quarry and they have become a source of considerable an- noyance to people living in the vicin- ity of White Oak. This morning’s in- cident was but one of a series of depredations lald at the door of float- ers who stop off in that locality for- aging for food. Relief Board Sessions. Anticipating a busler time than usual, members of the board of relief are making preparations to issue notice of their meetings to be held next month at which time complaints concerning the doings of the assessors will be formally considered. The board will hold its ‘initial session on February 1st and will meet at such other times as are necessary between that date and February 21, the last day aNowed by law for the filing of pleas for abatement. Complaints in abundance are ex- pected, property owners participating against increases by the assessors, particularly because of the fact, it is believed, that the special tax of four mills levied to partly cover the ex- pense of building ‘an addition to the schoolhouse, is to make their contri- bution to the town coffers heavier than ever. That there, is not much justification for complaints, except perhaps in a few cases, unless the kicks are regis- tered on the grounds that the valua- tion of properties was not figured on a equitable basis, is the general opin- ion and the board of relief is not ex- pected to take any material slice from the grand list total. The assessors did their work this vear in very thorough fashion and raises were ordered only after a care- ful investigation had been made. That property owners have increased the valuation of their holdings when ap- proached regarding sales during the year is generally admitted and should the assessors have seen fit to make a general raise their could not have been occasion;for a protest. The state board of equalization dur- ing the past few years has almost an- nually added to the total of the as- sessors, despite the fact that property here has presumably been assessed on a ome hundred per cent, basis. Pro- tests have brought but small reduc- tions from the original increases and with the state officials the belief is seemingly held that property here has not been-listed too high. The taxpayers also seem to hold to that opinion except in their own casees and the complaint appears to be that the assessors have under- valued some properties instead of making any too high. Members of THE TRUTH ABOUT ECZENA AND PILES Thousands and thousands of peo- ple, says Peterson, are learning every week that one 25 cent box of Deter- | son’s Ointment will abolish Eczemas and banish piles, and the grateful let- | ters I Teceive every day are worth more to ma than money. I had Eczema for many years on my head and could not get anything to do it any good. I saw vour ad and got one box and T owe vou many thanks for the good it has done me. here isn't a blotch on my head now and I couldn’t help but thank Peter- son for the cure is great.

This kind of rough talk will be keard less here in town if | people troubled with corns will follow the simple advice of this Cincinnati ' authority, who claims that a few drops of a drug called freezone when applied to a tender, aching corn stops soreness at once, and soon the/corn dries up | and Ufts right out without pain. He says freezone is a sticky sub- | stance which dries immediately and never .inflames or even irritates the surrounding tissue or skin. A quarter of an ounce, which will cost very little | at any drug store, is sald to be suffi- | clent to remove every hard or soft corn or callous from one’s feet., Mil- lions of American women will welcome this announcement since the inaugur- ation of «the high heels. e ——————————— the relief board expect to hear this argument advanced at their hearings and they look for protests from many of the taxpayers who received notices of increase from the assessors. Berlin Here Tonight, Berlin’s aggregation of hoop shooters will make their Plainville debut tonight when they line up ' against the Young Men's club basket- | ball team in the Town hall. The| visiting_team 1is said to be a speedy . five and the local boys expect to be kept busy every moment if they are to accomplish their defeat. The Plain- ville team has been making rapid pro- | gress during the past few weeks and ! has taken several clever combinations into camp. The hoys are hopeful ofl adding Berlin’s scalp to the trophies ! now dangling at their belts, * The, teams will line up as follows: I Berlin Plainville | Bunce Neilson | Left Guard | Willard Cowles will referee the | contest. The preliminary game will be be- | tween a Southington five and a team | from the juniom department of the local club. Dancing will fallow. Next Thursday night the team will meet the Forestville quintet. The! boys in the neighboring village have had no difficulty on former occasions | in humbling the Plainville aggregation but the local team has now reached a stage of development which makes, the members confident that the result of the next contest will be a reversal | of the score usually noted. i Classes Well Attended. Directors of the Young Men's club are greatly encouraged over the con- tinued interest in the organization dis- played by the yvounger eclement and they feel confident that the voters of the town will declare the experiment of permitting the youngsters ta use the Town hall to be a succ The one vear and the men interested in it feel that there will be no objection to continuing the privilege indefinitely. Under the lcadership of Alfred Schade of New Britain, the new phy- sical instructor, the classes have been making gaod progress. The boys con- tinue to manifest a lively interest in club and their attendance at the meet- ings augurs well for the success of nmi organization, While the hall must necessarily be damaged to some extent by its regular | use as a boys’ gymnasium the claim is | advanced that if the club serves to de- velop youngsiers, physically and men- | tally, the expense of lkeeping building in repair will ba a blessing rather than a burden on the taxpayers.
