The organization of the First church in 1758 marked another milestone on the road to the City of New Britain. At that time we had 40 heads of families, bearing 21 surnames. The Judds were represented by 6 families, Harts 5, Smiths 5, Stanleys 4, Woodruffs 4, Lees 3 with 2 families each by the name of Andrews, Booth, Griswold, Kilbourn, Mather and Patterson. ‘While the names Clark, Dewey, Gilbert, Hotch- the gold has kiss, were each borne by one family R aiteies | MUY A reproduction of a map, giv- Bore valve. | ink the location of our several fami- pers print a lies in the year 1738 appears opposite brers of Hun- | Pake 126 in the “‘One Hundred and ted States to | Fiftieth Anniversary of the Furst ed intention | Church of Christ, New Britain, Con- , land at this | necticut, 1708." that the eco- By the year 1772 our heads of fami- | can never be | lles and number of surnames of 1758 @ urged their | had more than doubled, acgording to or embarrass | the tax list of the New Britain soclety, GRISWOLD.

FLOOD OPPOSED T0 DEMOCRATY’ PLANS Does Not Favor Meeting Called for March 1 Washington, Feb. T1.—Opposi)on to the requests of the 49 members of the democratic national commit- tee for a meeting of the full com mittee at St. Louis, March 1, was ex- pressed today by Representative Flood of Virginia chairman of the democratic congressional committee. “The issues in the campaign of 1922,” said Dr. Flood, “will be made by the, democrats in the senate and house. If the republicans proposc legislation in the interest of the country we will support it earnest- 1y. Only when such proposed legis- lation is not in the interest of the country will be oppose it, and the differences between the two parties will constitute the issues in 1922 and 1924, *I have noted the reference of Mr. T.ove (committeeman from Texas who made public the request of the 49 last night) to Chairman White and the latter's desire to be relieved of the burdens and responsibilities of the chairmanship. I have known for =ome time of this feeling on/ the part of Mr. White but I also knew that he is not the man to rur away frem or shirk responatbii'c'er go long as ke can render service to the entire democratic party which serv- ice he csn render now by remaining chairman.” BIG ARMY HOSPITAL House Passed Bill Authorizing Five Institutions at Cost of $12,500,000 for Ex-Service Men. Washington, Feb. 7.—The house today unanimous!y passed a bill auth- orizing the construction of five hos- pitals for disabled war veterans at an estimated cost of $12,500,000. An additional $500,000 would be avail- able for conversion into hospitals of buildings at Forts Walla Walla, Wash.,, and McKenzie, Wyoming. HIGHER LUXURY TAXES Paris Pianos Authorizes Higher Rates On and Domestic Servants Under New Financial Scheme. Paris, Feb. 7.—This city has just been authorized to collect higher taxes on pianos and domestic serv- ants. For the privilege of being managed by an autocratic cook or a diplomatic maid, Parisian families will now have to pay 40 francs a year. If the servants are men the amount is doubled.

ONE FATALITY IN GHINATOWN DUEL Two Dangerously Wounded When Fight Starts in New York, Feb. 7.—Chinatown's New Year's celebration was given a melodramatic thrill last night by a re- volver duel in Park Row during which one man was killed and two dangerous- ly wounded. The street which was crowded with Orientals hastening to join in the festivities, was transformed suddenly into turmoil in the rush for safety. Fifteen shots were fired rapid succession. A policeman in the vicinity drew his Park Row — { revolver and dashed toward the duel- | ists, but his progress was delayed by a surface car as he crossed the street. When he reached the opposite side, walk, the men who had used weapons apparently had vanished. Spectators saw one man fall then crawl on his hands around the corner into Pearl street, where the policeman found him. He was Michael Demosci, a seaman, and he died within a few minutes. The two wounded men later tracked to a hospital where they applied for medical aid. The shooting occurred in front of the Duane Field club where a dance was to have been held last night. The crowds gathering for the affair were in merry mood when suddenly the shots rang out. A mad rush for stores and door- ways followed. The police took 60 men from the club to be questioned about the affair as the shooting was be- lieved to have been an outgrowth of rivalries between its members. REPLY IS POSTPONED Labor - Representativets in Railroad Agreement Controversy Will Be Given Hearing on February 10. Chicago, Feb. 7.—Amother post- ponement of the reply of employes’ representatives to the railroads’ re- quest for immediate abrogation of the national agreements was grant- ed today by the U. S. Railroad Labor board over the protest of railway exe- cutives. This is the second delay granted at the ‘employes, request. The board set Thursday, February 10 to hear labor representatives in rebuttal. When W. W. Atterbury of the Am- erican association ,of railway exe- cutives appeared before the board last Monday he declared that unless the board granted relief by abroga- tion of the national agreements with- in a few days it would be flooded with petitions for wage reductions. ‘With the second postponement granted today no comment was forth- coming from the railroad committee | which was expected to proceed with the regular program of evidence. E. T. Whiter chairman of the car- ricrs' committee fias been reading steadily for four weeks and was ex- pected to conclude his presentation today. The general reply of the em- ployes will follow. .JOSEPHUS WAXES HUMOROUS. Officers to Fight Duel With Ship and Plane With General Mitchell ‘Washington, Feb. 7.—A conditional challenge for an airplane—battleship duel with Brig. Gen, Mitchell, chief of army air operations piloting the bomber and Secretary Daniels navi- gating the battleship was issued by Mr. Daniels today commenting on the controversy raised by General Mitchell’s assertion that aircraft have made dreadnaughts worthless. “If Admiral Mitchell can’t drop bombs from Ahe air more effectively than he can explode them in commit- tee meetings,” Secretary Daniels said, “I would take a chance on maneuver- ing a battleship myself while he tried out his pet plan.” MINE INVESTIGATION Thorough Probe of Troubles in West Virginia Coal Regions Proposed Washington, Feb. 7.—Investigation of West Virginia coal mining troubles was proposed today in a resolution offered by Senator Johnson, repub- lican, California, but the advisibility of the step was questioned by Chair- man Kenyon of the senate labor com- mittee which would make the inquiry. Senator Kenyon said he was not opposed to the resolution but that nothing could be accomplished by the investigation during the present ses- sion of the senate. Senator John- son agreed to change the reference of the resolution to the audit commit- tee to consider its costs. TO ADMIT GERMAN Dr. Laskar, Chess Star, Will Be Permitted to Pass Through U. S. New York, Feb. 7.—Dr. Emmanual Laskar of Berlin, world’s champion chess player, will be permitted to visit the United States on his way to Havana to meet Jose Capablanca, Cuban champion, in a match next month. The Manhattan Chess club, which interceded with the state depart- ment today received a message from Secretary Colby stating that the case had been reconsidered and that the American commissioner in Berlin had been instructed to grant Lasker a vise. in | the | and ! were * BIG CELEBRATIO ~ FORLOWLY POTATD | - ‘ Tuber Which Once Caused Politi- cal -Trouble Here, Honored Chicago, Ill., Jan. 29.—The tercen- tenary of the planting of the first po- tato in the United States will be next December, according to Dr. Berthold Laufer, curator of anthropology, of the Field Museum here. “The potato entered this country,” Dr. Laufer said, in an address before the American Association for the Ad- vancement of Science, ‘not as sur- mised by de Candolle, through an al- leged band of Spanish adventurers, but in a perfectly respectable manner from Bermuda, ‘where it had been in- troduced previously from England. “It is a prank of fortune, that'the potato, originally a denizen of Chile and Peru, appears as a naturalized Englishman in the United States. The potato had arrived in England about 1586 or a little later. “For a long time the belief was entertained by botanists that the openauk, described among the wild roots of Virginia by Thomas Hariot in 1588, was to represent our potato. This speculation is erroneous. Data from the History of the Bermudas now make it perfectly clear that the potato was one of the plants which ‘at that time and until then (that is, 1621), Virginia had not.” “The History of the Bermudas re- ports that in 1613 the good ship Eliz- abeth brought potatoes from England to Bermuda. The history further states that on the 2nd of December, 1621, Captain Nathaniel Butler, gov- ernor of the Bermudas, sent from ‘St. Georges, in the Sommer Islands’ to the governor of Virginia (Francis Wyatt), two large cedar chests ‘wher2in were fitted all such Kkinds and sortes of the country plants and fruits, as Virginia at that time and until then had not, as figgs, pome- granates, oranges, lemons, plantanes, sugar canes, potatoe and cassada rootes, papes (papaya), red pepper the pritle peare (prickly pear), and the like." “In the following year a Virginia bark took” from the Bermudas ‘twen- ty thousand waight of potatoes at the least.’ The fact that potatoes were actually planted in Virginia at the very moment of the first introduction is confirmed by letters from Virginia in 1621 and published by Purchas. “The gifts of the New World along the line of cultivated plants were all of a democratic character and made a world-wide appeal; tobacco con- quered all peoples of the globe with- out distinction, and I know of only a single tribe which does not prac- tice smoking—the poor islanders of Botel Tobago. Tobacco is more uni- versally consumed than any other narcotic, has profoundly influenced the economy of most nations and sig- nally affected special customs and promoted sociability. In a spirit of gratitude, Chinese and Japanese have bestowed on tobacco the name ‘herb of amiability’ (aiking tsao), as they explain, ‘on account of the affection- ate feelings entertained toward one another by all classes of mankind since its use has become general.’” WOMEN T0 AID TILLOT Food Sale Will Be Held at Methodist Church Friday to Aid Residents of French Province. Z Heads of the various committees which are co-operating in the relief work for the province of Tilloi, France, met this afternoon at the home of Miss Agnes Johnston of 376 West Main street to plan for a food sale to be held Friday afternoon at the Methodist church. Assisting in the work or the woman's club, the D. A, R, and committees from several of the local churches. It is the inten- ton of the women insofar as is possi- ble, to have this city keep the wolf from the door of theé needy residents of that province. Miss Johnston spent considerable time in Tilloi during her recent tour of France. The province, she found, had been hard hit through the war and while the ground has not been cleared so that it could profitably be tilled, the people were making every effort to be self-supporting. For a time at least, however, this will be the week-end bringing the total of | the local welfare workers to assist until that time. i NEW FERTILIZER Chemist Discovers Variety That Will Grow Grass and Kill All Weeds Kingston, R. I., Feb. 7.—Discovery of the long sought fertilizer that will grow grass and kill weeds is an- nounced by the experiment station of Rhode Island State college as the result of 20 years of research. A weedless lawn is possible without trouble or expense according to the official college statement merely by the use of ammonium sulphate in- stead of nitrate of soda in the an- nual application of fertilizer. “Slowly ‘but surely the weeds will disappear and the lawn will become the even velvety green that is the envy of every neighbor,” says statement. “Nitrate of soda gradually tends to create an alkaline condition of the soil which is especially favorable to the growth of weeds.” CHURCH ANNIVERSARY. the |. i SEEKS BUSINES Campaigning for Its Los War Trade Hamb}rg, Germany, Feb. 7.
