Due to the success which evening schools for adults were conducted last year, plans are being made by the superintendent of schools to con- duct similar classes this year. The town rchool committee is heartily in favor of the work and believes it is for the best interest of the town in as much as the foreigners are given an opportunity to grasp our methods of living and to learn our language Evening schools for the 1921-22 sea- son will start on October 1 and will run until April of the following year. The number of nights the classes will be conlucted as well as the subjects to be offered will be announced at a later date by the school authorities. The evening school during the past vear, achieved its greatest success since its inauguration, three years ago, according to the annual report, submitied by B. R. Showalter, to the local school committee. There' were 29 degistered in the class for the non- English speaking adults and 30 in the continuation class. There was an averag~ attendance of 13 in the adult class and 17 in the continuation class. This made a total average of 30 at cach session. The classes continued in session for 75 nigits and Berlin will draw a state grant of $120. A striking feature of the attendance of the adult class was the hish per cent. of those actively registered who attended. The era of un~mployment was considered re- sponsible for a large amount of the shifting. but, while they were in the class the members attended with fine ‘rezularity. Another significant sign was the constant growth of the class. Admissicns were made each week un- til the last, showing that the class was function'ng in reaching the peo- ple for whom it was established. Credit for this fine work is due Miss Blanche Lyone who started the class and Miss Hortense Loiselle, who car- . ried it through the second half of the year. Continuation Class. The legislature at its last session repealed the compulsory continuation school law. Berlin i1 no longer re- quired to maintain this school. It has done zood work, however, and those connectad with school affairs claim it should ha continued as 2 school ac- tivity. In this class, special work is given in arithmetic, English, Ameri- can history and government pen- manship and spelling. The boys and girls wno leave bafore completing the element*ary school course should be given the opportanity to have this work and it is probable that such a elass will be conducted in Berlin this vear. No definite acticn, however, has been taken on the matter by the hoof committee. The proposition will \fadoubtedly be breught before this V{od\' at its next regular meeting. | —DANCE — { GRANGE HALL \ Berlin | Friday Evening cKeon’s Orchestra. SERGE wide, navy Special $1.50 yard.

The ticket will be known as the ride family ticket and will be good for the purchaser, members of his family and servants, but not for visit- ors. It will be good between any two points not over 40 miles apart, where zone fares are now in effect. The cost per mile to users of these tick- ets will be 2.64 cents, or nearly one cent less per mile than the regular fare. It is expected that many wili be purchased between Berlin and Middletown as well as Berlin and New Britain. Also beginning the first of the month, the five trip tickets will be abolished between this town and New Britain. The zone fare from Berlin to Middletown will be increased from 24 cents to 30 cents. Notices to this effect have been posted about the lo- cal depnt. Leaves or Western Coast. Word has been received from Miss Phebe K. Beard, formerly a -teache: in the Junior High school, but who has been living in Oberlin, Ohio, for the past few weeks, to the effect that che wth her father will leave Oberlin August 19 for the western coast. It is arobable that they will travel to San ¥rancisco direct, as both intend to sail from that port to Shanghai, China, August 31. The voyage will be made on the ship “Golden State.” It will be remembered by many that Miss Beard gave a very interesting talk in the Berlin Congregational church in regards to conditions in China. This lecture was illustrated with many beautiful stereoptican slides. Miss Beard has made arrange- nients with the Herald to write and tell of conditions over there at present, and her first story will appear in this column the first part of October. Miss Beard was born in China, as both her mother and father were in that country doing missionary work Mi.ss Beard has always been active in this line of work. She came to this ceuntry and received her first Ameri- can education in Oberlin, Ohio. Miss Beard had taught in Berlin schools for he past several years, and although he liked it here it was her desire to texch in a school in China. While in town Miss Beard made her home with Miss Jeanette Honiss on Hudson street. Many Book Agents. Residents on Berlin street as well as in other parts of the town are com- riaining of the number of book agents ahout town as well as beggars. It is probable that due to the unemploy- ment situation that the men are about. There are also many young fcllows on the road who are asking iheir way about, taking automobile and truck rides whenever the driver of a machine feels willing to take them on. Lawn Festival. Plans are being made by St. Paul's Y. M. T. A. & B. society drum corps to hold a lawn festival on the so- cieties grounds Thursday evening of next week. A entertainment will be presented to be followed by dancing. The public of the town is cordially invited to attend. Berlin Briefs. The Misses Helen and Ina Carter of Berlin spent the day in Burnside. Mrs. Harry St. John of East Berlin is expected home soon from the Mid- dlesex hospital in Middletown, where she has been confined with a broken hip as the result of a fall some weeks ago.

East Berlin Items. A number from this place will at- tend an old-fashioned barn dance at West Cromwell this evening. Final arrangements are being made for one of these dances to be given in Ath- letic hall in the near future. Final preparations have been mad: for the Community picnic to be held at Pipes Dale next Svnday. Everyone is cordially invited to attend. Miss Grace Lewis of West Haven has been visiting relatives in town.

H., and Miss Mary Shorten of Middletown called on Miss Dorothy 3ugenhime Thursday evening. ‘What will be of interest to a num- ber of East Berlin residents, especial- ly those that have to be away sev- eral days each week or members of the family who have to be away is the issuing of 25 trip family tickets by New Haven road commencing Sep- tember first. These trip tickets will be sold to all stations within forty miles and good for any member of the family or servant. The limit will be three months.

Robert Voight, a former local boy now residing in New Haven, who is here renewing old acquaintances, has accepted the position of assistant pur- ser on the U. S. mail steamer George Washington, and will leave September 1, to take up his new duties. The boat is the same upon which President Wil- son made his European trips during the League of Nations conferences Mr. Voight is a son of Henry G. Voight, who was assistant superintend- ent at the Russell-Erwin plant for some time. He was employed here in the New Britain Machine company's plant and made a commendable record for himself as pitcher on the New Britain Machine baseball team. Lately he has been twirling for the Oneiga baseball team, at Plattsburg, N. Y., which team disbanded last week. He has a record of 17 put outs in 20 games he pitched with the latter team. Mr. Voight will spend a week here as the guest of the Barnard family at 447 Arch street. Moorland Farm Producer of the Highest Quality Milk and Cream Invites the TPublic to inspect Stables and Cooling tling Plant on SATURDAY AFTERNOON August 20th. One mile from end of Arch St. its and Bot- ing company and the farm of Thomas Cafferty, also- of Washington street, Mr. Kosenko is working on the large project now with a force of men and the trees and stumps are being re- moved by tractors. AN brush and small trees are being cleared away and when the work is completed, a level space of 22 acres will be seen instead of the old lots filled with bushes. A roadway will also be made on this piece of land which will lead from Washington street, through the farm and extending to the railroad tracks. This will enable the owner to go over his territory in a car. The farm of Mr. Kosenko is prob- ably the largest in these parts and always has many visitors on it. He has more than 3,500 chickens having had a stock of some 60,000 which he sold at various times. Some of his prize hens have cost him as much as $10 a piece. The hens average more than 40 dozen eggs a day. It takes about one-quarter ton of grain a day to feed this large stock of chickens ind the need of having a large trace to raise grain was seen by the farmer. Thus the development of the rest of ‘he farm will be a good investment. “he farm is a modern one, being quipped with electric lights and the 1en-houses are also modern in every -espect. He has special houses for 1is breeding and laying hens and the rize cnes are also kept separate. An rea of some three acres is now be- ng used for the hen-houses alone. His system of keeping the hens separated and ziving each stock a nlace to feed in was devised by him- self and he plans further improve- ments should his project of devel- oping the large tract of land be suc- essful. Mr. Kosenko has been a res lent of Plainville for the past six cars and is an expert in poultry ‘aising. He does not deal in prize 1ens exclusively. He employes five men on his farm who are also interested in chicken raising. The farm is open to visi- ‘ors and after the roadway is built ‘cading through the additional 22 icres, Mr. Kosenko will allow visi- ‘ors to drive through. The land will be divided into lots sometime in he near future and be sold for small ‘arms, savs the owner. Bascball Games. The Plainville Athletic club will play the Wethersfield team at Allen's ield tomorrow afternoon at 3 o’clock. A\ Hartford County league pitcher will 1o the’ twirling for the locals while Kilduff will be at the receiving end. The Wethersfield aggregation plans to have Hyland of New Britain, their ravorite, pitch for them. Hyland promises to have several strikeouts to his credit when the game is over ind the local men are anxious to meet him and prove that his ambi- ions in this line are exaggerated. The Aces will not play tomorrow >r Sunday. Several of the players ire enjoying their vacation and the management does not fell qualified to meet any opposing team without the regular lineup. Therefore the long looked forward game with the Plainville A. C., will not be held Sunday afternoon as planned. Grange Notes. Several members of the local Grange will journey to Bristol tonight and attend the Neighbor's Night. A number will be furnished by the Plainville Grange for the entertain- ment. The Grange hall is in a decidedly better appearance now with its new coat of gray paint. New runway pipes have also been installed and further improvements made. Trial to be Held. Luigi D’Antonio, proprietor of the Italian-American grocery store on Whiting street, will be tried in the local court this afternoon at 5 o'clock. Justice Edward P. Prior and Grand Juror William J. Foran will hear the case. D’Antonio will be charged with alleged fault in an auto accident of Whiting street and a probable case of not having his registration and li- cense card with him at the time. Af- ter the accident, when the Bright- wood Dressed Beef truck of Spring- field crashed into him, witness claim that someone ran to the store which is nearby, and taking the cards from the desis, placed them under the seat of the auto. An investigation will be made and prosecution follow. Misdirected Mail. With the recent drive on in an at- tempt to prevent the increasng amount of misdirected mail in the post offices, the local post office is not without complaint. There are up- wards of some 100 letters a week which have been misdirected and are therefore placed in the dead letter office. The letters have no return ad- dress on them and there is no way of finding out who the sender is. The postmaster suggests a return address on the tack of the envelope te aid in this matter and should the desired party not be found, the owner of the letter can have it forwarded back to them. Many mistakes are seen when letters come, addressed to Plainville and Plantsville. These, however, are rectified as best as possible and a “Mrs. J. Brown of Plainville,” is re- turned to “Mrs. J. Brown of Plants- ville.” Letters from foreign countries | are somewhat difficult to translate but they generally have a return address them.
