" Berlin News WELL HNOWN MAN DIES N HOSPITAL Adrian Francis Mass Had Been = Il But 6 Days NATIVE OF HOLLAND Special Town Meeting in the Town Hall This Evening—Harry McKeon and Willilam Ryan Leave For New Haven—Lawn Fete August 31. Adrian Francis Maas died last night at the New Britain Géneral hospital after an illness of six days. His death was due to liver trouble and a comglication of diseases. Besides his wife, who at present is a resident of Hartford, he is survived by a daugh- ter. He was of Dutch extraction but well and favorably known in this vicinity. Maas came to this town about twenty-five years ago from Paterson, New Jersey and took up quarters at the home of William W. Fagan, pres- ent postmaster. His advent was due to the removal of the Howard Manu- facturing company, as it was then “called to Kensington. Later the con- cern hecame known as the American Paper Good's company, He had been in their employ when they were sit- uated in New Jersey and was such a valuable man that his services were an adset to the firm. For about 23 years he remained in their employ although several years ago he purchased a farm in the Blue Hills district. Until two years ago he stayed on duty at the Paper Good’s company when he retired from an ac- tive life followed the pursuits of a poultry fancier and raiser at his farm. A few days ago he complained to friends of being ill and shortly after was removed to the New Britain Gen- eral hospital. Efforts for his re- covery were to no avail and he pas- | ged away last evening at 6 o'clock, The funeral will take place at o'clogk Friday afternoon at the | undertaking rooms of B. C. Porter’s Sons. Rev. Carleton B. Hazen, pastor .of the Kensington Congregational | church will officiate and interment will be held in Kensington. Special Town Meeting Tonight.

ELKS ABANDON FEED TO HELP SAVE FOOD Meriden “Bills” Decide to sist Hoover by Cancelling Clambake Scheduled for Sunday. Meriden, Aug. 23.—Opportunity 1s offered on every hand to display pa- triotism and when an organization tightens its belt and decides to forego enjoyment of a real big feast because it wants to help Herbert Hoover con- serve the foad supply, it lays itself around. The affair will be held August 31 on the lawn of Frank Wilcox. The chief event on the program will be the enactment in pantomime of “Hia- wiatha.” As at any other fete, booths will be conspicuous and refreshments will be served and on sale. Demonstration Mefls ‘With Favor. A large and appreciative audience attended the demonstration on .the canservation of food which was given vesterday afternoon by Mrs. Julian M. Deane in Athletic hall, FEast Berlin. Mrs. Dean’s topic was drying and in connection with the lecture she gave practical demonstrations. The com- munity canning machine was present and garden products were canned. Berlin Briefs. Joseph Kingo, who was recently operated upon at the New Britain General hospital and his arm ampu- tated, has returned to his home. It was erraneously stated in yester- day’'s Herald that Miltin Gaines was with the Phoenix Insurance company, Instead he is'in the employ of the Aetna insurance firm. It is rumored that at the last meet- ing of the Home Guards, the corporals were instructed to learn their squads how to keep step. C. G. Hart and family of East Berlin are on a two weeks' fishing trip to Daolittle Pond in Norwalk. Miss Edith Woodward of the Mid- dlesex hospital is visiting at her home in East Berlin. Mrs. William Palmer and son Leroy of East Berlin are visiting relatives in | Waterbury. The Village Improvement society of East Berlin will hold a social at the home of E. P. Cody Friday evening. Maple Hill Albert Nordstrom has accepted a position as automobile instructor at the Hartford Y. M. C. A. open to the highest praise. The Meri- den lodge of Elks pleads guilty to the above action by calling off its famous annual clambake. Instead a banquet will be given to members who leave next month to join the national army at Ayer, Mass. The clambake was planned for next Sunday at Minery's grove. About 250 members had signified their intention of going and more were about to make application. Wednesday night the clambake committee met at the Elks’, Home and decided to call the event off. There was no doubt about it be- ing a success. The need of food economy the talk of meatless days and the imperativé necessity of co-opera- ting with National Food Administrator’ Hoover in safeguarding the food supply, led the committee to act ad- versely. Never known as an organization that was overburdened with dyspep- tics, the Elks have always had a grand feast at their annual clambakes in the past. Last year they fed 425 and the year previous over 500. The variety and amount of food has always been comensurate with the hearty appe- tites of the members. HEAVY TOBACCO LOSS. Storm Causes Damage Which May Exceed $500,000. Hartford, Aug. 23.—Tobacco grow- ers east of the Connecticut river estimate their losses due ta the storm of Tuesday at more than $500,- 000. Some of them. believe that the damage may exceed that done by the storm of a month ago, when the loss was placed between $600,000 and $700,000.

It was found floating in the water near the spot where he ‘wem down. Miss Coule of Boston is a guest of John L. Stoddard. “ Mr. and Mrs. Theodore Johnson are at the Arrow Hegd, Short Beach, Plainville News WEDDED YESTERDAY, MAY HAVE T0 FIGHT Arthur F. Groth of New Britain Numbered in Draft MASONIC FUNERAL FRIDAY Services For Isaac Newell to Be Held From Sons Home at 2:30 o’Clock With Frederick Lodge in Charge— To Rush Paving Job. Rev. Robert H. Burton, pastor of the Church of Our Savior, was called upon yesterday to officiate at the wed- dings of two of hig parishioners, the contracting couples having been Miss Mary Ella Chuba of Maple street and Arthur Frank Groth of New Britain, and Miss Ora Judd Granger of Bristol and James E. Warfield of this place. In each instance the wedding was a quiet one and took place at the church rectory. It is quite possible that the mar- riage of Mr. Groth and Miss Chuba may yet develop into one of the nu- merous cases in which the happiness of the honeymon is suddenly plunged into the sorrows of war, as the youth- ful bridegroom is one of the men called in the first draft in New Brit- ain. Mr. Groth, the son of Mr., and Mrs. Carl Groth of 93 Rockwell ave- nue, New Britain, is employed in that city as a draughtsman. When the firgt exemption district sent out its first ca“% for 800 registrants to fill\the district’s quota of 294 men, Mr. Groth’s name was among the others. Hé appeared for examination on August 8 and af- ter being examined by the several sur- geons was given a certificate of tem- porary physical réjection, but was or- dered to return for a re-examination in six weeks. Thus, should the young bridegroom pass on his second exam- ination it is quite probable that he will be compelled to'leave his young bride and march away to defend the Stars and Stripes. The wedding oc- curred at 3 o'clock yesterday after- noon and the couple were attended by Mr. and Mrs. William -G. Groth, broth- er and sister-in-law of the groom re- spectively. The bride, who is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. C. ghuba of Maple street, was given away in marriage by her father. For the pres- ent the young couple will make their home in Plainville. The wedding of Mr. Warfield and Miss Granger took place at the Epis- copal rectory an hour earlier. Mr. Warfield is the son of Mr. and Mrs. E. D. Warfield of Park street and his bride is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. G. Granger of Forestville. They were unattended and the marriage ceremony was witnessed only by the parents of both parties. The bride was given away by her father. Fol- lowing a wedding trip Mr. and Mrs. Warfield will make - their home in Plainville. Masonic Rites For Newell. The funeral of Isaac Newell, the veteran republican registrar of voters and almost lifelong resident, who died at the New Britain General hospital on Tuesday night, will be held from the home of his son, Levi Newell of Maple street, Plainville, tomorrow af- ternoon at 2:30 o'clock. Mr. Newell was a member of the Frederick lodge of Masons, and that organization will have charge of the funeral services, all rites’' of the Masonic order to be ob- served. The officiating clergyman will be the Rev. Robert H. Burton, pastor of the Church of Our Saviour, which Mr. Newell attended, and also chaplain of the Masonic lodge here. Interment will take place in the family plot in the Plainville cemetery. To Rush Paving Work. John Fitzgerald of this place, act- ing as inspector for the state highway department on the concrete road con- struction job between this place and Forestville, stated this morning that the Connecticut and Rhode Island company, which has the contract for doing this stretch of paving, con- templates speeding up the work ma- terially so that within a few weeks the entire job will be completed. The arrival of new machinery, together with assurances of no further hold up on the supply of crushed stone, as well as an ample supply of labor, will, Mr. Fitzgerald predicts, enable the company to go ahead much fas- ter than in the past and he ventured the opinion that the entire job will be completed by the first of October provided no unforeseen delays occur. This morning the workmen began lay- ing the concrete foundation of the roadbed near the bank building and, it was stated, it is expected that the heavy foundation will be completely installed as far as the railroad tracks by Saturday night. Beginning Moen- day the company plans to start lay- ing the concrete top dressing from ‘Washington street down and will pro- ceed as rapidly as the drying cement base will permit. Next week the construction gang will return to the Forestville end of the road and, assisted by a steam shovel, begin to rip up the north side of the highway preparatory to install- ing the new pavement. A new con- crete mixer which is scheduled to ar- rive on Friday of /this week is also expected to greatly facilitate the work inasmuch as the old mixer be- ing used thus far has, by its frequent breakdowns and its limited supply. greatly hampered the workmen. Attending Regimental Reunion. Town Clerk Usher is today attend- ing the fifty-third annual reunion of the Twentieth Connecticut Volunteer Regiment at Cheshire. First Select- man W. E. Latham of New Britain is also attending this reunion. Today Mr. Usher is the only representative of Plainville to gather with these gray haired old warriors of a half century ago; but at the time these same old men marched out to defend the Union there were a dozen or more enrolled in this command from Plain- ville. ‘were a dozen or more enrolled in this command from Plainville. Until a few years ago there were five or six other old soldiers who religiously at- tended the reunions, bit now all of these old veterans have answered their last Roll Call and only Mr. Ush- er remains to attend the reunions and to live aghin, once a year, the trying days of 1861-1865. The Twentieth Connecticut regiment was recruited from this district, most of the sol- diers having enlisted from Southing- ton, Plainville and nearby towns. The regiment was recruited in the August of 1862 and was sent to New Haven where the command embarked for the mobilization camps at Arlington Heights, Washington, on September 11, 1862. Mr. Usher was one of the original volunteer members of this command and was with the com- pany during all its trials and tribu- lations throughout the southern cam- paigns and during its triumphant march throughout the south at the close of the war. Rev. Mr. Burton, pastor of the Church of Our Saviour, while in con- versatign with Mr. Usher this morn- ing, discovered that the company in - which the' present tqwn clerk was enrolled as a soldier over a half cen- tury ago performed many war time activities in the vicinity of his own boyhood home in North Carolina. Rev. Mr. Burton is himself the son of a Confederate soldier, his father having been captain of the Cleveland Guards at Shelby, N. C., and later having been commissioned as major of the Second North Carolina Reg- iment. One particular war time In- cident of his boyhood days that Mr: Burton recalled vividly this morning was when his father returned home from the front to visit his family.' They were living on a plantation and while his father and another com- rade were there a squad of northern soldiers visited the house. His fa- ther, a giant of a man, over six feet four and weighing over 250 pounds, fled through a rear door and across the fields while the northerners tried unsuccessfully to capture him. Rev. Mr. Burton also recalls another time ‘when a squad of northerners visited his home on a foraging expedition. Both Mr. Usher and Mr. Burton were of the opinion that the Twentieth Connecticut Regiment was in that vicinity at the time but they were, of course, unable to tell whether or not any of Mr. Usher's camp-fire com- rades took any part in the visits to the home of the present Plainville clergyman. Another incident re- called by these two gentlemen in which the Twentleth Connecticut played an important part in the life of Rev. Mr. Burton occurred later in the war. Major Burton, father of the present clergyman, had invested his entire fortune in cotton and tobacco which was stored at Columbia. The stock was valued at between $200,000 and $300,000 and when the Northern forces, including the Southington command, occupied the district and razed the city the fortune of the Bur- ton family was lost. Rev. Mr. Bur- ton remarked that when General Lee surrendered the family fortune had dwindled to a five dollar gold piece and a barrel of worthless confederate currency. On Long Auto Trip. Mr. and Mrs. Charles Diggle and Elmer Lawrence Burr left today on an extended automobile tour during which time they will tour northern New York state and the White Moun- tains. They will be gone three weeks or a month and their route will take them to Saratoga, N. Y., through va- rious points of interest in the Cat- skills and the Lake Champlain re- gions and thence into Vermont and New Hampshire and through the fa- mous White Mountains. Many Have Hay Fever. The blossoming of the fall golden ‘rod and the ripening of other herbs and plants giving forth a pollen which irritates the nostrils of those afflicted with ‘hay fever is causing no little an- noyance to a large number of people in. this place. Red, swollen eyes, shiny noses, a thick tongue when talking and an almost continuous de- sire to scneeze are the symptoms. Druggists report increased sales of witch hazel and other medicines used in alleviating the annoyance. Pleased With Remembrances. E. D. Spelman, who observed his eightieth birthday on Tuesday, August 21, was given a surprise shower of several scores of congratulatory cards and messages by his many friends. | Mr. Spelman was much pleased with these kindly remembrances and de- sires to thank his many friends through the columns of the Herald. Town Peaceful Again, A wave of genuine peacefulness seems to have struck this place as several days have now passed and no transgressor who has violated the law has been apprehended and cast into durance vile, or, in other words, locked up in the iron barred ‘“cooler’ and advised to wait until he sobers up when he can “tell it to the judge.” However, a new gang of freight han- dlers from New York have recently arrived at the exchange station and with the arrival of the first pay day the authorities can look for some ac- tivity. Other Town Topics. The Rockwell-Drake Manufactur- ing company has established an em- plo#ment office building adjacent to the highway and at the trolley sta- tion. Mrs. M. J. Fitzgerald of West Main street has returned from a vacation spent at Sound View. Miss Mary Fitzgerald is continuing her vacation at the same resort and Miss Katherine Fitzgerald is spending the month at James A. Graham, assistant post- master, is spending his vacation in Norwalk and Poughkeepsie. Mrs. George Downes of Southold, L.

Don’t wait Our Mid-Summer Furniture Sale Saturday It AARTFORD FOOD MEN READY - FOR CONSERVATION Commissioners From 98 States Confer With Hoover ‘Washington, Aug. 23.—Food Com- missioners representing 28 states con- ferred yesterday with United States Food Administrator Hoover regarding the work to be performed 'by them in helping to conserve the natigon. Dr. Ray Lyman Wilbur, in charge of the food conservation*work for the government, explained briefly the plan to enroll the support of all the women of the country in the policies of the food administration. He detailed many of the steps being taken for spreading information. The state rep- resentatives promised their hearty support. Most of the record-breaking corn crop will be past the point where frost can damage it at the average date of the first killing frost, in spite of the fact that the crop is from ten to fif- teen and in places even twenty days later than the average at this season in central and northern district. Reports to the Weather Bureau brought this informatiin as well as sood news from Kansas, where the last foregast of the department of agr- culture indicated that the production would be only half that indicated a month before. The Kansas crop, the reports said, was recovering from the effect of the previous drouth. The bean growers and dealers of the country have notified ‘the Food Administration that they age ready to do everything within their power to help to benefit the American con- sumer through a reasonable price for their products. Both the producers and dealers said they would co-oper- ate in producing and distributing as large a supply of beans as possible, expecting only a fair profit. They offered the Food Administra- tion the privilege of examining their books in order that a just profit may be determined. They also recom- mend that dealing in future beans or selling the crop before maturity be discontinued. Aug. 28, 29 and 30 have been desig- nated ‘“educational days” by the food administrator in responses to re- quests from those throughout fHe country who are eager to receive the fullest information on food conserva- tion. Government officials have consent- | ed to speak at meetings on tho:‘,e;‘ dates in the Smitbsonian auditorium in fhis city. Among those are Her- bert Hoover, Assistant Secretary of | Agriculture Vrooman, Dr. Alonzo | Taylor and Graham Lusk. The ad- dresses cover all phases of the in- ternational food situation, food sur- vey, wheat and meat needs, milk and dairy conditions, transportation and other topics. ADVERTISING NEW LOAN. “Are You Saving Your Money?” Weather Bureau Asks, | New Haven, Aug. 23.—The federal government has already begun to ad- vertise its forthcoming issue of Liberty Loan bonds.

AID 10 COUNTRY Navy Yard. Employes Tende Memorial to Secretary Daniels ‘Washington, Aug. 23.—Earnest ¢o operation with' the Government i all of its plans gor the war pledged to Segretary Daniels yes! day by the 7,000 mechanics and oth civillan employees of the League and Navy Yard at Philadeiphia. & delegation called and presentgd a mé morial signed by the entire force pressing a desire by example to “‘sting ulate all others to the fullest perfe mance of their duty to the country this time.” 7 This reassuring message came rumors weye being discussed of threatened strike in the New Yi Navy Yard. It strengthened the com fidence of officials that there will B no labor troubles to disturb the na great building operations. There ha been no official information of im: pending difficulties, and it is believe: the revised pay schedules to be put in to effect probably next month will move any dissatisfaction that may p: vail. The joint army and navy Wagi Board, now receiving reports from afl yards and arsenals, expects to make ff recommendations shortly. The Philadelphia dclegation composed of represcntativ 34 trades employed at the p: 5. memorial, in part, said: “We promise to stand by yo shoulder to shoulder in carrying out| measures for the development of our navy, and particularly for the bet-! terment of this navy yard. Weo prom= ise to notify our superiors of any in- dication of disloyalty on the part of any employe working for the govern- ment. “With the fullest confldence our country is in ‘the right in this war, and relylng on the wisdom of] President Wilson, we carnestly pray for a speedy success for our cause | and we pledge you by our work to do our full share toward the victory which ultimately will be ours.” Secretary Daniels was visibly af- fected by the memorial. “It is & very heartening thing in this crisis.” he said in reply, “to know you feelf the responsibility which rests upon all good citizens. 3 “We have no place but for accord and national unity. We must not think of any business except the bus- iness of winning the war. That Is the business of America. You gen- tlemen are in the heart of that bus- iness. If our ships are not well made, if our ships are not fitted propertly to sail the seas and to protect our transports. if the guns are not prop- erly placed, victory cannot come.” wal the Th that MISSIONARIES ARRIVE.
