Foresters to Have Carnival. At the special meeting of Court Mattabesset lodge of Koresters held last evening at' their hall, plans were laid for a carnival to be held -the first week of October. A committee was chosen last evening to perfect an organization necessary to carry through all the details of the carnival to a successful conclusion. Daniel Melarney was elected chairman of the committee and James Corr secre- tary. The actual dates of the carnival will be October 3, 4, 6 and 7. The local lodge has been hit par- ticularly hard by Phe war and sick- ness amongst its members, a number succumbing to influenza. The money derived from the carnival is intended for the major part to be used for a building fund but a portion will be | to reimburse the treasury for ex-} penses incurred during the war. The lodge has always wanted a building | of its own, and the success of the carnival will determine largely what action will be taken along these lines. Grangers Enjoy Ficld Day. Despite the unfavorablg weather vesterday, 11 members of the local grange attended the field day at the Diamond Hill farm of Minor Ives in | South Meriden. It was expected that the entertainment wguld be at Han-: over park if it rawsed, , Wut the Grangers preferred the fari: life. A basket luncheon was served - v The master of the Maine state grange, W. J. Thompson, was present as was F. E. Blakeman, master of the Connecticut state grange. Grand Lecturer C. W. Wheeler of Storrs college was also present. They made short addresses.

The Globe cafe opened yesterda for the first time since the prohibitiox enactment closed the f§oors. Exten- sive alterations have been made and the exterior has been newly painted. | All kinds of soft drinks and near-beer are being sold over the bar.

The Kilby House has gone! bankrupt, so that it is improbahle | anything wiil be done there for a time. o Trolley Service Off. One of the morning specials that ! leave from the Kilby House at 6:46 o'clock for New Britain developed | trouble with the air brakes this morning, with the result that one trip was lost. Shortly after the car began on its trip to the city the dir began to leak from the tanks and when the | car had reached Ash streets in New Britain it went dead. As soon as the air drops below 40 pounds’ pressure the car automatical- ly stops, and this car was no excep- tion to the rule. After 20 minutes’ delay the car was finaily started, but not soon enough to save the workmen from losing their bonuses for a per- fect time-card at the factories. Gun Club to Mect Again. Due to the inclement weather last evening only a few members of the Mattabessett Gun club were in attend- ance. It was considered advisable to table several important = mutteps and Roberts scheduled to come before the meeting, until more favorable weather. An- other meeting will be held in the neat future.

The Red Cross branch has tried to locate her, but has been un- able ta find any trace of her. William James Robinson is the name of the party who assigned the checks here. At the present time there is another allotment check at the postoffice and if it is possible to locate Miss or Mrs. Robinson the check will be given to her. Anyone in town who knows any- thing about this woman should com- ‘municate immediately with Postmis- ‘tress L. J. Root. Berlin Briefs. Miss Hattie Hollister has gone Northampton, Ma spend a few days.

London, ‘Aug. 15.—Government pro- Jjects for Luilding houses for working- men and for providing land for sol- diers are moving slowly., The housing .plan is a complicated systsm under which the local aythor- ities are to do the building and the national treasury to share the ex- pense. The value of land and the cost of building and of building materials are more than doutle those which "pre- vailed before the war. came the decision to sell it to the people. Several cities and towns have already secured large wholesale allot- ments of food to be sold at cost prices. Plainville was not fortunate to figur in on that score but now the po: office department is coming to the rescue. Postmaster Prior received an official announcement this morning in regard to the share of foodstuffs which this town will be allotted. Instructions as to purchases were also received. Mr. Prior is quite proud of the fact that Plainville is to receive such a large share of the government foodstuff. The reason for this is because the Plainville post office is rated as a sec- ond class office with perhaps the smallest population of any town hav- ing the privilege of city, de- livery. The extent of this can be seen when if is realized that this town will receive as much food as he neighboring town of Southington, which is three times as large Plainville. Bacon, corned bheef, roast beef, baked beans, sweet corn, cherries, flour, pepper, rice, green peas, souls of various kinds, and canned tor toes are includedsin the articles which may be purchased. The people of this town will be able to receive this allotment by calling at the local/ post office on Aug. 18, 19 and 20 and leaving their orde The orders must be accompanied with the purc price or otherwise the food will not be ordered from distributing point. The regular cost of the food will be added to by the price of postage. This is at parcel post rates of five cents for the first pound and one cent for each additional pound. Packages for this occasion can weigh as much as 125 pounds (the parcel post charge on such a shipment wouid be $1.29). A 12 pound can of bacon is smallest amount that can be pur- chased. It will cost $4.15, and with parcel post price of 21 cents, the total cost is $4.36. Flour can be pur- chased in 100 pound bags at a co: of $5.24 and with parcel post of $1.05 makes a total of $6.29. Rice in 100 pound bags can be purchased for $6.74, with parcel post of $1.05 mak- ing atotal of $7.79. All purchases are figured in the same way. The clerical force at the post office is now becoming acquainted with the facts concerning the sale of the food and will be willing to show every courtesy to the public. Purchases of food can- be made at any time during the three «days during the regular hours of the post office. Navy Recruiting Mission. Two chief petty officers of the navy were in town last eyening coming here from New Britain wher they are holding a recruiting mission on the green at Central park. The naval men left posters concerning enlist- ment,. pay, etc., in all the local stores and continued to the neighboring town of Southingten. This town has sent several men to the navy of late and it would not be surprising ff oth- ers joined at the New Britain sta- tion. The number of local men who served in the navy during the war was exceptionally large for a town of this size. Donald Messenger and | James Davis, who recently enlisted, are now members of the Pacific fleet and will see the world before return- ing to this country. Charles Phelps reported at the New Haven station vesterday expecting to be sent to Vir- ginia. Building Lines Approved. The town plan commission was in ssion last evening and gave a hear- ing on accepting building lines on Park street extension and ‘Tomlinson avenue. As a result of the hearing a 25 foot line was accepted on the t and west sides of Park street ex- tension and a 25 foot line on the south side of Tomlinson avenue. A number of Pepple wéte in attendance at the hearing. The 25 foot line means- from be street line to the outside wall the building to { erected. , .
