Those that talked to him claim that he looked like an Italian but his voice had a slight Irish accent. The man disappeared early in the evening and has not been seen since. Home Guard Adds Three. Only three members were added to the local unit-of the:Home Guard last right and two of these were from Ber- lin street and the other from Kensing- ton. ' A. A.

Mr. Weldon enlisted in Co. D Willimantic on June 10, 1862 and served throughout the war. He was shot in the leg while delivering a meéssage at the battle of Peters- lhurg. Mr. Weldo#t was a close per- sonal fricnd of General Lyons of Con- ll\l‘C"CIIt and was one of the pallbear- ere’ at hig funeral, Grovini Georgini as the only Kensington man to en- i list. but his enlistment was well worth I receiving, as he has served twenty- | scven months in the Ttalian artillery. | Gecorge Carlson was the other man that enlisted last night.

At the Berlin post office a decision has been reached whereby the office will be closed be- tween the hours of 10 and 6 and at Kensington the office :will be open from 7.15 until 9:30 o'clock in morning and- in the afternoon from 4 until. 5. Berlin Under Guard. A number of National Guardsmen have been doing duty at the principal points about Berlin and Kensington since yesterday. There are many, points in the town that need to bé under strict guard and it is expected that thig is the reason for the men being in town. Samuel Norton.

Plaiunville 0 TEACHING STAFF 10 REMAIN |NTAET| Principal Judd’s Assstants fo Re- | tarn After Easter Recess T0 FORM MEDICAL CORPS First Aid Division o Be Part of Local Home Guard’ Company—School Board Dclays Report on Addition Until Town Mecting Monday. Holding until the special town meeting next Monday night a report concerning the proposed addition to the Broad strcet schoolhouse, the school committee at its April meet- ing last evening devoted its attention to matters of a routine character and made preparations for the re-of of class sestions for the the winter term formally closing to- day. Reports presented at the meeting irdicated that for the first time in a number of years the teaching staff will not be disturbed in personncl when the spring term begins, all of Principal O. L. Judd’'s assistants hav- ing arranged to return here after the Easter recess to resume their duties. ‘While the teachers are engaged under contracts which calls for their serv- ices for a period of one year, it in- variably happens that at Easter time some of them want their agreemeN(s abrogated and vacancies usually are created at the close of the winter term as a result. This year, however, all the instructors propose to live up to their contracts and no new teachers will have to be engaged. ; Except for cramped quarters con- ditions at the school are found to be entirely satisfactory as the term closes. Although the teachers have t> handle more pupils than educators belleve can be taught efficiently, no fault has been found with the results obtained. Principal Judd has an ex- cellent corps of workers and they are rendering splendid service consid- ering the conditions under which they have to work. That the’ town meeting Monday night will agree to increase the ap- propriation for the proposed addition from $17,000 to $19,000 or perhaps $20,000 is generally expected. The voters have practically no chofce in the matter. Additional school room is reauired and the addition is es- sential to the welfare and proper de- velopment of the children. There is no indication, according to contgac- tors, of any reduction in the price of materials in the near future and a delay in making the improvement would probably mean additional ex- pense rather than a saving. The school committee favors build- ing addition at as cheap a figure as can be secured. They are disappoint- ed over their inability to have the extra rooms added at an expense that would be within the $17.000 appro- priation made last January but they seem to oppose the elimination of de- sirable features in the plans to keep down the cost. Some of the specifica- ticns may be changed without doing any material harm and the bids pre- sented a weck ago may possibly be reduced to some extent. There 1is little hope. however, that the addi- tion will be built at an expense much less than $19,000. Complete information regarding the attitude of contractors the school board expects, will be in its posses- sion before Monday night's meeting. The decision of the volers will then be sought and the belief is held that the extra money required will be ap- ropriated. P Local Boys Enlist. Plainville has already made a start towards contributing its share to the country’s defense and there are a number of her sons who are now in Uncle Sam’s service. Six local boys, members of the National Guard, left with the New Britain companies this morning to do police duty: in other places, the names of which were not made public for military reasons. There are sevgral young men from the town who are in the army and navy and others are making plans to enlist. Yesterday at the Hartford recruit- ing office two applications for enlist- ment were received from Plainville. ‘Walter Hirsch wants to join the navy as an apprentice seaman and Albert J. Conlin expressed a wish to become a member of the signal corps. Alex- ander hol also has presented an application for enlistment in the navy. The military spirit has been ab- sorbed by many of the voung men and there is reason to believe that Plainville will bear its full share of the burden in the event of a conflict of much duration. Randolph Stewart, son of Alfred Stewart, has joined Co. D of Bristol and leaves tonight for duty. It is not yvet known where they will be sta- tioned. Lieutenant Duffy Drillmaster. Peter F. Duffy, first lieutenant of the Plainville unit in the Home Guard, was in’charge of the squad which re- ported_at the Town hall last evening for-drill. Captain Trumbull was also present. There is considerable local enthusiasm over the showing that is being made by the various divisions as they meet for instruction and the officers expect that the town will have a first class company. Saturday night it is planned to use both the Town hall and the Grange building for drilling quarters that the teaching of the recruits may be ex- pedited. Among those ordered to re- port for drill on that evening is Town Clerk R. C. Usher, a Civil war veteran, and one of the oldest mem- bers of the guard. Mr. Usher was an officer In the war of the rebellion and took part in some of the most impore HE SUFFERED “Fruit-a-tives” Made Him Feel As If Walking On Air OgriLL1A, Nov. 28th. 1914, “For over two years, I was troubled with Constipation, Dyowsiness, Lack of Appetite and Headackes.
