B. Gcodrich of the Bérlin post office has tendered his resignatior to Washington to take ef- fect as soon as another man can be appoivted to the position. This news comes to the community as a sur- prise. Mr. Goodrich tas held the po- sition for the past three years, hav- ing received a presidential appoint- ment ‘rom President Wilson. Never before in the history of the office has thers been so much business done as in the past two years. Mr. Goodrich recently sold his place, one of the prettiest on the ridge, to Samuel Coale of the Americar Hosiery Co. Ife feels that he has been in husiness long enough and as soon : suc- cessor is chcsen he will 1etire. Some 16 ago Mr. Goodrich canmie to Berlin and bovght the store now owned by James Wocdruff, con- ducting the busivess for 10 years and selling out to William H. Webster. Mr. Goodrich also had the postoffice at the store while owning it, turning the office over to Mr. Websier when he sold the store. The post office at that time was under Cleveland's ad- mimstration. Mr. Gocdrich then went to New Britain and bought the gro- cery business of Sidney Oldershaw of Park street, where he conducted one of the biggest businesses in the cit He stated this morning that in those days he sold tons of hams at 6c a pound, which is some difference in price from that of now. Later on he sold, this business and went to South- ington where he resided a number of years. He could not keep away from New Britain, however, so returned and went into the wholesale fiour bus iness in which he did an enormot business. He later sold out and went to Ohio to take a three months' vacation. While in Ohio Mr. Good- rich happened to drop into a country grocery store and while there the | owner offered the business to him for $1,550 spot cash. Mr. Goodrich bought the outfit and went behind the counter a few minutes later About an fiour after the owner of the build- ing came in and wanted to buy the store back again. The store was re- #o0ld to him for $1,650, Mr. Goodrich | making an even hundred by the tran- action. On his return from Ohio, Mr. Good- rich came to Rerlin and bought the | plage Which he has recently sold. He | has been here eight years and has| seen many changes in the town espe- cially since his first residence. y Bee Keeperss to Register, fown Clerk Woodruff has received the Blanks for, the registration of all vea | | { run the beekeepers in town and stated thisy morning that every bee owner must register not later than October 1. The registration fee is 25 cents and anyone failing to register by the time speci- fied is subject to a fine of $5. The legislature took this step to stamp out diseases among the bees of which some owners fail to realizé the seri- ousness. There are a number of bee raisers in town wha keep their bees in any .old place and thereby make it casy for discases to break out among them. This registr: measure is taken so that the inspectors may know just | who owns becs in the town and take steps to weed out any diseased colo- nies. tion Finance Board Mcets. The town finance board met last evening at the town clerk’s office to g0 over the budget for the coming year and to make the necessary recommen- dations. The budget of the school board was not presented so that the work of the committee will have to hold over until they present their budget for the next y There was a delegation from the Blue Hills di trict requesting that something be done on the roads in that place. Noth- ing could be done for them, however, as such matters have to be decided at a regular tewn meeting. Who Has the Tire? Someone took one of the rear tires aff from Joe Scoilloick’s machine last evening when it was standing in front of the Nutmeg house in Kensington. Jog didn't so much mind the loss of the tire as he did the fact that he had a little trip to make to Hartford, and of course he couldn’t run on the rim. | He is beginning to think that some- one wanted to spoil his nice little trip and that he will get the tire by parcel post in a day or two.

The of the committee with National Ixecutive American head- quarte: in circulars to the various organization in all the towns throughout the drive for 1,000,000 members is being | carried on during this week, from September 15 to 20. The slogan dur- ing the campaign Let's Stick To- gether.”” The following is a copy of the letter sent to every post in the United States: i Every Legionnajre in every state | branch and in every local pos the country,—some 350,000—is member of the general committee that is responsible for putting this big drive through. It is up to vou and vou alone to tackle this big job with all the American pep and vigor and enthusiasm which characterized the drive that ran Germans out of France and Belgium a year ago. The American Legion starts this push with a third of the million mem- bers already enrolled. More than four million men women scattered throughout the United States are eligible for mem- bership. They are eager to hear the story of The American Legion and to stick together now as they have stood together in arms. Tell them what The American Le- gion will mean to them, to their com- munity and to the country. If you put the message to them right there will be only one reason why they do not sizn on the dotted line on the membership card — perhaps their fountain pens have gone dry! Have vencil handy to lend them. The committee intends its appeal to be one delivered with a punch, one that will jar the entire country into focussing its attention on the Ameri- can Legion for six days and one that will reach every individual man and woman who is eligible for member- ship and grip them so forcibly that they will feel uncomfortable until they enroll in the Legion. It also intends to awake a national enthusiasm for the Legion, this enthusiasm to be cre- ated by the concentrated effort of the 350,000 members who are at present enrolled. The enrollment will be a big job, but the Legion, standing for America's war effort, welcomes the job, the big- ger the greater tne effort and the greater the credit for attaining the ohjective. Tt will be easily possible to get a million members if every mem- bher can induce three of his buddies to join.

The campaign will close Saturday night the comit- tee hopes to enroll more than half of the non members before that time. Party Caucuses. Popular opinion in Plainville tends toward the belief that at the repub- lican caucus this evening the republi- can voters will nominate practically the same ticket as that of last year, with William J. Johnson heading the | ticket again as the nomince for se- | lectman. Mr. Johnson's administra- tion has been a prosperous one and the feeling in the ranks of the re- publican party seems to favor a re- turn of all present incumbents to office next year.
