White, is Traveling Swiftly Over Maine Ice Course. * Judging from his three heats in -283-4, 30 and 30, at Harrison, Me. Feb. 17, Don Cecilian, 2:111-4, is back in his old form. He i= matched with cheerful Charlie 2:11 3-4, the race to be held over the same course. Don - Cecilian iz now owned by C. P. March of Bridgton, Maine. For a number of vears Don Ce- cilian was owned by James F.

The men who have offered their services have been doing somc hustling during' the past week and as a result more than 1,000 blanks have beep turned over to the selectmen, a large part which have aiready been filed with the state committee at work in Hart- ford. Additional batches of blanks con- taining the information desired re- garding local residents were received | at the selectmen’s office today, Con- stable Marino having given up con- siderable time to the work of taking the census Sunday. The officer alone has secured over four hundred blanks in his canvass. Yesterday he visited the quatries at White Oak, making the enumeration || of the Italians and Portuguese work- ers. Although some of them didn’t understand the idea of the census, the belief prevailing that the blanks will be used In case drafting is necessary, should the country become involved in the war, they gave the information requested without any hesitancy. The local Chinese laundryman was also interviewed. He showed his patriot- ism by expressing a willingness to fight for.the land of his adoption -should his services be required and he gave Constable Marino the infor- mation sought in connection with ‘the filling of the blank sent to him. There remain several names on the personal tax énrollment report of last vear which have not as vet been checked off but by Wednesday or Thursday it is believed a report from the owners will be received. The indications are that Plainville will rank well when the final tabula- tions are announced from the state office. B Fagan in Fast Woodstock. Joseph A.

He. was too drnk to work and the officer advised him to remain at the depot unti]l the next east bound train when he would be given transportation back ‘to the Capitol city, Instead Swasey went out on a wight- seeing expedition.’ He fell in the gut- ter on West Main street and was picked up by' Constable Marinos, to whom a complaint had been made by one of the residents. Swasey appeared before Justice A. H. Condell yesterday on a charge of intoxication and was sentenced to jail for thirty days.
