One New Smallpox Case. One new case of smallpox appeared over night in the home of Thomas Fagan. Miss Catherine Fagan, who is er-ployed in the offices of the Ber- lin Construction company, is the new patient,"but has contracted the dis- ease in such a mild form that she is able to be up and about the house. In order that there will be no fur- ther spread of the disease, Dr. Gris- wold has ordered that the employes of the American Paper Goods com- pany must be vaccinated. This order has already taken effect and last even- ing a large number appeared at the doctor’s office. Any that fail to take the’ called ‘for precautions will not be admitted to the factory when they appear on Monday morning and the same 'holds for those employed in the office - of - the- construction company. In this way it is hoped that the epi- demic will be stopped and the health of the town returned to normal. Dence Called Off. The weekly meeting of the Berlin Sons of Veterans’ Association was held at the home of Harry Gould last even- ing. The principal business was the arrangement for the annual dance which was postponed from May 17 to June 14." Dr. Griswold told the mem- bers that he considered it the best poliey for the association to postpone the dance for five or six weeks but rather than do that the members have decided: to abandon = the event. -As many of the tickets have already been sold for the affair the committee on arrangements wishes it -understood that they may have their money back by applying to the one from whom they purchased the tickets. Refresh- ments and a social hour followed the business session. The next regular meeting will be held on July 12. Old Turtle Found. A box turtle, probably at least a century old, has been found by Roy Gibney, son of Prosecutor W. H. Gib- ney of Berlin near his home and by & strange coincldence the turtle was found on the 30th anniversary of the day on which one J. North carved his initials pn the under shell. Worn dim in spots, indicating the many -years during which the hard shell had been dragged over the earth by the turtle, the carving: “J. North, June 2, 1887,” is still plain to be geen on\ the turtle. Before liberating the turtle again Mr. Gibney is going to carve his own name and date on the shell. ‘The identity of the J. North, who over eighty years ago carved his name and the date on the shell has not been determined, but there are several No families in this place and also in Berlin to whom the original North might have been related.

The scheme for the attack had been long maturing, and when the prepa- rations were perfected the Premier ‘was acquainted with the exact hour it was intended to open it . Accordingly, on retiring Mr. Lloyd George gave or- ders to be called at 8 o'clock in the chance of being able to hear the ex- plosions. The Premier and others of the household clearly heard the tre- mendous detonations, as also did per- sons at the Premier’s official residence in London, who supposed they were the sounds of heavy guns, until later they learned froin the despatches that they came from the explosion of mines. From London to the region where the British mines were exploded along the German front the distance ranges from 130 to 140 miles. N R e PRISONERS AT THE PLOW. London, June 8.—Two hundred German prisoners of war now in Eng- land are to be used this summer to plough a thousand acres of Hainault Forest, an ancient woodland, forming the eastern portion of the famous .Ep- ping Forest. — OLD CALENDAR ABANDONED. ‘Viadivostok, Siberia, June 8.—Lo- cal papers announce that the old style or Russian calendar has been abolished and hereafter all dates will be reckoned by thé new style or west- ern calendar. made as to the means to be taken by Plainville wives and mothers to sea that the kitchen of every home is managed to play a part in the na- tion’s success in the war. Mrs. Castle, who attended the re- cent meeting of the county league, was appointed head of the committee and Mrs. Harry B. Stillman and Mrs. C. H. Curtls were named to serve with her. It is the intention to eventually or- ganize the women of the town into a canning club and an effort will be made to have the domestic sclence expert engaged by the county league to come. here to lecture on the pres- ervation of fruits and vegetables. The women do not intend to stop at sim- ply canning but propose to conduct a campaign to show the necessity of economy in the kitchen,that any dan- ger of a shortage of foodstuffs in the army or at home will be removed. The women of the nation will have to play a part in the fight for hu- manity as well as the men who will shoulder muskets and in Plainville it is evidenced from the activities of the “weaker sex” that there is no in- tention to shirk the duties. ‘The proposed canning club will in & sense work in conjunction with the surgical dressings committee. The members will not only can supplies for their own household but will probably “put up” jars of fruits and vegetables which will be sold, the proceeds turned over to the surgical dressings committee. The movement is one in which every woman should be interested and after the prelimi- nary details are attended to it is ex- pected that a large membership will be recruited. With the Business Men. Several matters of ‘minor import- ance were considered at, the June meeting of the boatd of diréctors of the Business and Improvement asso- ciation held last evening- Reports of gratifying progress were received from several of the commit- fees which are at work on civic im- provements. The Bristol and Plainville Tram- way company advised the board that connections have been made with the gas mains on the lower end of Whit- ing street to make it possible to give service to residents of that locality when they seek it without disturbing the pavement recently laid. As soon as possible the company proposes to have the work of making connections with the houses begun. A letter of thanks was received for the successful effort made by the as- sociation’s utilities commission to have electric light service provided on West Main and Bohemia streets. The letter was Slgned by George A. Beck- with, Harold L. Newell, Tony Gnazzo, W. A. Simons and Willlam J. Lackey, and was addressed to C. H. Newton, head of the committee. Favorable reports were presented concerning the activities of the Boy Scouts in the recent clean-up cam- paign. The boys after a tour of the town reported that the evidence in- dicated that the people in general had worked during the campaign and yards are now in fairly good condi- tion. A notation was made of yards where tin cans and other refuse were not removed during the crusade. The attention of the property owners may be called to tI fact, that they, too, may help to make the town a clean and more healthful place to live In. The directors are greatly pleased with the part taken by the scouts in the campaign and they expect that iIn future crusades the youngsters will prove of incalculable assistance. Seymour-Riecker Wedding. Announcement has been made of the approaching marriage of Miss Ridabelle White Riecker, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. C.
