As the fair is a state event, ! several acres of model gardens would i be one of the main attractions in the fall, and it is felt that the officers would not be taking the wrong step in following out the suggestion. There ,is plenty of land within the ' fair {igrounds which could very well be 'used for this purpose and, with an instructor in’'charge at the fair itself, any that so wished could gather in » ;fund of information for their next | vear's planting. It would hardly be | amiss if the state college at Storrs | should take a hand in the planting ;and thus show just what is being ac- ; complished at that institution in re- gard to the garden proposition. 1 Land Transfer.

Bulkeley, late of Cromwell, has trans- ferred land and buildings in Berlin to Robert Cole, bounded as follows: On the north by land of Luke Turn- er; east, land of R. O.

ILY HERALD, THURSDAY, -MAY 17, 1017 [Piainville News CORPORAL MADELEY NABS A DESERTER \Local -Soldier Gets Recapaition From Superiors For His Capture LAND DEVELOPERS ACTIVE Property Salcsmen Expect Big Raise ’ln' Plainville Land Values—Idghts for Plerce Strect Drill Grounds— Raise for R. R. Clerks—Briefs, Having captured a deserter from the ranks of enlisted men, Corporal Earl Madeley of Company E of the First Connecticut infantry, which is doing guard duty in Norwich and vi- cinity, has been presented with $50 &8 a reward for his services, accord- ing to information received here to- day. In a letter to his father, Ed- ward Madeley, the young corporal stated that the reward had been given to him after he had turned over his prisoner to the guard. But little information regarding the capture: was received here. - The only news concerning the incident simply “covered” the fact that while doing duty at the Norwich passenger station Corporal Madeley had been ordered to be on the look-out for a guards- man who had deserted his company. He found the man a short time later and turned him over to the command- ing officers. s The young man's friends ‘were pleased with hig succeas and the fact that his capture was given suitable recognition by his superiors. Young Madeley was among the Plainville boys to do duty at the Mexican bor- der last summer. He again donned the khaki when the National Guard was ordered mustered into federal service following the severance of dip- lomatic relations with Germany. Developers Here. That nville will probably ex- perience ‘a bullding boom of consid- erable size during the next few years, with the result that property values will take a substantial rise, is indi- cated by the activities of real estate men who have come here to develop various tracts of land. At the present time three outside ooncerns are operating here. They are disposing of land at auction as well ‘as private sale, and they report that there is a big demand for build- ing lots in all sections of the town. Deeds showing the actual sale of the lots have not been filed with the town clerk, with the exception of a few. Nevertheless the ‘land agents report that they have a number of sales in the works and expect to consummate them in a short time. In addition to the activities of the out-of-town men, the Plainville Real- ty company is working on land de- velopment. This concern proposes to erect a number of dwellings on its property in the eastern section of the town this summer. Lights for Drill Grounds. ‘Powertul electric lights are being placed In position' to illuminate the property on Plerce street, which is being used by the Home Guard- for drill grounds, and when their installa- tion is completed squads from Captain Trumbull’'s command will have their meetings in the open air. At the present time the men are drilling in the Town and Grange halls but it is believed that better resuits can be accomplished through fleld maneuvers. \ Cbnsideration is being given by the officers to plans for signals to call out the guard sBould the ‘services of the company be required. It is prob- able that a scheme will be devised whereby the men will report at the Town hall following a signal to be given by the . blowing of the fire whistle for a certain number of blasts. Lieutenant Frost of the medical di- vision has perfected a plan for get- ting his men to assemble which will result in every member being on his way to the Town hall within fifteen minutes after the officet in charge is advised that their services are needed. Ralse For Olerks. Clerks employed at the freight of- fice and the transfer station here have been advised that the railroad has granted them an increase of elght per cent. in their salaries, the raige to be effective from May 4. In addition the men are to get two Sat- urday half holidays each month and a summer vacation with pay of from one to two weeks, depending on the length of time they have been in the service. The increase was granted after the men employed by the road had threatened to strike. No Sheiter for “Huskies.” Under & new plan approved by the selectmen, able bodied men will' no longer be accommodated with lodging in the basement of the towan building and all who apply for shelter, with the exception of unfortunates whose age possibly makes it difficult for them to get work, will be ordered to leave town with arrest on vagrancy charges as an alternative. For a number of years the town has made a practice of harboring | tramps of all description. Since the transfer station was ‘located he: there have been a large number of applications for shelter from men who come here ostensibly to get employ- ment as truckers: The Bristol Brass company also attracts many in this direction and it is not infrequent for prospective employes of the plant to stop off here for the night. Among those who have applied of late, there have been so many of the type who live by their wits rether than their muscles, that Constable Marin has been forced to discontinue the practice of sheltering all who apply. Abled-bodied fellows, who claim they come here seeking employment who ask for a night’s lodging are in- structed to make their request at the transfer station where acoommoda- tions will be given them providing they will agree to work. Those who are unwilling to take advantage of this offer are told to leave town. . Old men of the derelict class find more sympathy with the officer are al- lowed to sleep in the town bullding although they are kept in their cells until nearly noon when the officer re- leases them. This feature of the rules of the town lodging house does not appeal very strong to' them, as it de- prives them of their best time to go on food foraging expeditions. Their protests are unavailing, however, and they must either accept the ediot or eek shelter elsewhere. Brief Items. Mrs. Ralph E. Balley of East Green- wich, R.
