Seek Seat in Hartiord COAL SHORTAGE IN TOWN Orders Are Not Being Filled By Lo- cal Dealer—Postmaster Fagan Re- ceives Congratulatory Letter From Officials—Notes About Town. With the announcement made by R. 0. Clark of East Berlin yesterday afternoon to a Herald reporter that he would not be a candidate for rep- resentative from Berlin to the legis- lature, the talk of the politicians is agajn centering about who will oc- cupy the legislative seat this coming term. Mr. Clark when asked if he would be a candidate, said that his business occupies too much of his time for him to interest himself in politics. Mr. Clark was mentioned several days ago as a possible candidate from East Berlin along with Arthur Benson, who {8 commander of the American Legion post in Berlin. Politicians be- ljeve that Berlin and Kensington has had its say for a number of years and that East Berlin should have a chance this year. With Mr. Clark presumably out of the race, Mr. Benson is the only other possible candidate from East Berlin who has been mentioned. There is some talk, however, of Ken- sington people placing a candidate in the field. Earlier in the summer it was re- ported that C. F. Lewis and C. W. Btevens would be candidates for the office. Mr. Lewis, when asked, said that he had not considered running for the office and did not believe that he would be an aspirant to the posi- tion. Mr. Stevens has remained si- lent on the question. Deming Would Accept. Francis Deming of Berlin, who represents the town in the legislature at present, stated yesterday afternoon that if he is nominated at the caucus he will accept the nomination, but he does not plan to make an active campaign for the office. Mr. Deming was a prime mover in having the legislature grant the city of New Britain the right to change its charter so that Berlin could se- cure water from that city, He was also responsible for downing the movement fostered by the New Brit- ain Chamber of Commerce for a guage under the railroad bridge in Kensington. Coal Shortage in Town. It was stated at the home of George Baldwin, Kensington coal dealer, this morning that there has been no coal received in Berlin since April of this year and that the situation as far as this town is concerned is becoming serious. The local concern has filed orders with various coal companies but they are not being filled and what coal is in the bins of the local dealer has been sold for several weeks. Unless the strike is brought to an end before fall the coal situation will —DRINK— Ayers’ Soda Water Call for it by name and gct the best. For Sale at Your Grocer's Three Size Botties—5-10-15¢ prove to be a serious one for the schools, not only in Berlin, but in other towns and cities. Local school officials stated today that the Berlin schools have not a full supply of coal The fuel has been put in the bins at the Kensington Grammar school and at the Worthington school but the bins of other schools are prac- tically empty. It is not thought that an ample supply of coal will be available if the strike does not end previous to the opening of schools and in that case the local officlals believe that they can burn wood in the stoves and furnaces until the real cold weather sets in and in this way keep the schools open. New Markers Placed. Selectman George B. Carter has re- ceived word from Charles Hale of Hartford that several additional mar- ble slabs have been placed over the graves of war veterans In this town. In the Maple cemetery a slab has been placed over the grave of Cor- poral Elisha Loveland; West ceme- tery, Captain John Allyn; Blue Hills cemetery, Corporal James Francis, Captain Frank Cole, Samuel Lee adn Allyn Smith. The markers are mgde by the Mc- Govern Granite company and are be- ing furnished to Mr. Hale to be placed over the graves by the state. Congratulatory Letter Postmaster W. W. Fagan has te- ceived the following letter from the director of the savings division of the L. 8. Postal department, congratulat- ing him on the sales record he has made with treasury saving certificates. The letter follow Dear Mr. Fagan: Your report of sales of treasury savings certificates for July has just reached me and it is putting it mildly to say that T am delighted with the showing you have made.

ICE CREAM DISAPPEARS Preble Gives Party—Uninvited Guests Steal Refreshments—Now He Wants to Buy a Dog.

The occasion was ar- ranged for the Prebles by a number of Mr. Preble's friends in celebration of Mr. and Mrs. Preble's recent wed- ding. Those who attended included Dr. and Mrs. J. E.

There was no clue to the unknown guests, It was necessary to procure a fresh supply of the delicacy to com- plete the evening's program. Mr, Pre- ble has not notified the police but says he Is going to purchase a dog.

Bull Gives Some Advice on Care of Teeth For Keeping Health—Items, The Chamber of Commarce held An interesting meeting last night when plans were discussed for pro. viding vacations for several New York children who are sent up here by a New York paper's fund raised for that purpose. Rev. A, B, Dew- berry and John E. Lamb were ap- pointed by the Chamber of Com- merce to act as officials in the mat- ter and the Commerce Chamber wil| seek to accommodate as many chil- dren as possible . Rev. Mr, Dewber- ry, newly appointed pastor of the Methodist church, will seek the co- operation of the other Plainville min- isters and an announcement will be made from the pulpits this Sunday in order to get the names of n.ni- families in town who will care for any of these children for two weeks It is probable that the youngsters will arrive in town about the 15th of this month, if arrangements can be made for that date, Last year there were seven cared for and Rev. George E. Tyler and Mr. Lamb did all in their power to help them. This year, however, with the awistance of the Chamber of Commerce, it s believed that more can be made happy for the two weeks period. Several“of the business men an- nounced at the meeting last night that they were willing to furnish their automobiles to convey the children to thelr vacation home on their arrival in Plainville, and would also return them to the station whan it came time to leave. The latest they can arrive is the latter part of this month as they must prepare to return to school i{n September. Last year the seven who were en- tertained at the various homes here were treated royally. Outing Plans Made. A committee also was appointed to prepare for the annual Chamber of Commerce outing. Burton Phelps was elected head of this committee and he will be assisted by William 1. Caf- ferty, Willlam Downham, Edwin H Hills and John E. Lamb. This com- mittee will meet at a later date. It is not believed that Momauguin will be selected and the general opin- ton is that Double Beach will be chos- en. The committes will try to ar- range for Saturday, August 26, as the day for the outing. The sidewalk committee reported on the number of sidewalks being laid in town and the resultant im- provement. A letter of thanks was read from the Bristol Chamber of Commerce for efforts to have the upper part of West Main street, starting at Bo- hemia street, put in good condition. Bristol repaired Pine street to the Plainville town line and Plainville fin- fshed the rest of the road from the town line to Bohemia street. Drummers To Compete. The members of the Plainville Fife and Dmum corps will journey to Wa- terbury tomorrow where they will take part in the parade and field day of the Connecticut Drummer’'s and Fifers' assoclation. The event prom- ises to be one of the largest ever held in some time and there are ap- proximatly 52 drum corps on the en- try list already. This will be the thir- ty-seventh annual meeting of the as- soclation and the contests will take place at Roseland in the afternoon. There will be 32 exhibitions for which there are offered 55 handsome silver cups as prizes, with gold med- als for the individual contestants. Shop Seeks Help. It is a long time since any “Help Wanted” signs have been hung out in front of Plainville factories and the residents were agreeably sur- prised this morning when the Bristol Manufacturing company did this. One of the employes of the plant tripped merrily out with the card and after tacking it up, stood off and read '‘Boys wanted; steady work."” Th sign apparently had good effect and although there have been no re- ports of any injuries sustaned during the rush, it is certain that the steps to the plant will need repairing when the crowd is through. The younger generation of the town is anticipating a glorfous future and many called at the office seeking jobs. Mrs. George Prior.
