Report of Schools—Dele- The fair which the' members of Berlin Grange are planning is re- ceiving considerable attention among townpspeople. Posters advertising the event have heen placed in conspicuous places about the village and the com- mittees are working hard to make this the best affair ever held in the Town of Berlin. It is to be held on October 28, 29 and 30. There are to be numerous exhibits i= charge of prominent people. They are: fancy work exhibit in charge of Mrs. Laura Austin; flower exhibit, Mr George Green; Mrs. E. B, Adams will conduct the home-cooking and canned goods exhibit . and E. B. Adams, fruit and vegetables. Dona- tions and exhibits are requested as soon as possible, The fair will run for three after- noons and three nights and it i{s ex- pected that the Grange hall will be filled every day with people anxious to view the products exhibited by the industrious Berlinites. There is to be a prize of $50 dollars given away and dancing will be enjoyed every evening, music being furnished by O’Brien’s. orchestra of New Britain. The Berlin Grange fair, if plans are carried ouf, will be one which will go down in the history of the town as the best ever held. Jan Kulpa Jan Kulpa, a well-known resident of Kensington, died at his home on Percival street yesterday. Mr. Kulpa had been in poor health for some time, but it was not until a few days ago that his condition became serious. Medical attention was at once summoned, Burial will be in Sacred Heart cemetery, New Britain. Mr. Kulpa was born in Poland in 1875 and has lived in Kensington for a number of years. He was a farmer. Burviving him are a wife and six children. School Buildings Another instaliment of the report given by Superintendent of Schools W. R. Showalter, dealing with buildings, playgrounds and water supply, fol- lows: Condition of Buildings. The completion of the program of summer repairs will see a great im- provement in the condition of Ber- lin's school buijdings. During the past two years every room and school bullding has been repainted, inside and out. At Percival and at South school lighting conditions have been improved by the installation of banks of windows along one side of the building, to afford the best possible lighting for the children. In general, we can say that the physical condition of our bulldings is - _________] - DANCE Foresters’ Hall Kensington SATURDAY EVG. McKeon’s Orchestra Others with plaid backs.

This is true at South school, where the playground is both too small, and very muddy in rainy weather. At the Worthington school what would be a fine playground is so cut up by walks and driveways, as well as blocked by trees, that much of it is wasted so far as organized play is concerned. At Percival school there {s no playground at all. When the build- ing functioned as a Towf hall there was no need for a large lot. That does not hold true now that it is a two-room school. The only play- ground the boys and girls of this school have is that of the public highway. The playground at Rlue Hill school is one of the poorest we have. To the north lies a swanrpy lot which gives off noxious odors and serves as a center of dampness for the school. The playground is low, below the level of the road, and in rainy weath- er is always wet and muddy. If the school is to be maintained the lot should be filled in with cinders or screenings to secure a good dry surface, how- Water Supply With a supply of runnipg water avallable at the Pewecival, Kensington and Worthington schools, definite plans should be made at once to modernize these buildings through the installation of modern sanitary toilets, and drinking facilities. At the Percival school we are compelled to depend upon the good will of the neighbors for water for the children. This school should therefore receive the first attention. At Worthington it will be possible to install sanitary toilets for the boys and girls without any extra building, since there are two small rooms available for the purpose. At Ken- sington it would seem wise to build a small brick addition at the east end of the building, over the pres- ent basement area-way, to house the toilets. By placing them at this Ipoim they would be made available from the first floor landing. At Per- cival it may be possible to partitios off a portion of the large roo®, which far exceeds the requiremen' for a normal class. At this school it will be necessary to install the anti- freezing type of toilets, since there is no furnace. A Good Candidate. Several people of the town have sald that while candidates for the po- sition of representative are being thought of, why does not someone suggest the name of some member of the new voting power in the country, the ladies. It is thought by many that Miss Marjorie Moore would make a good representative in the legislature. While not a politician, Miss Moore is thoroughly familiar with the affairs of the town. Several townspeople have suggested her name. However, it is not known whether Miss Moore would enter a contest or not Reunion _of Veterans, Walter Penfield of East Berlin pre- sided at a reunion of veterans of the 22nd regiment, Connecticut volun- teers, who met in the Hartford Grand Army rooms Wednesday to talk over experiences in the Civil war. Twen- ty-five were present. During the course of the meeting a new presi- dent was elected and the report of the secrtary was read. Barn Dance Tonight Suggestive of old-time country af- fairs are the dances which are held weekly in the barn of Emil Woike of Cromwell. One is to be given this evening and a large crowd from Ken- sington and Berlin is expected. Fea- tures of the evening's program are the old-fashioned square dances, once 8¢ popular and now nearly discarded, Beside the old-time dances Thomson's orchestra of New Britain will furnish mugle for the modern fox trot. The attendance is not confined to the younger class. Mothers and fathers Colorings are Navy, midnight and the mellow Sorrento blues.

' DENY DE VALERA STORY | | Report That He Is In Iicland to Con- fer With Provisional Government, Is Branded as False. Dublin, Sept. 22.—The publicity de- partment of the republican party in Dublin declared today that the state- ment recently circulated to the effect that Eamon De Valera was in Dublin to negotiate with the Irish provisional government was a fabrication. This denial is borne out by infor- mation fgem free state quarters. Saxony Technical Corps Sent to Work on Farms Halberstadt, Prussian Saxony, Sept. 22.—The technical auxiliary corps, formerly only called into action teo keep the power plants in operation during strikes has been requisitioned to supplant striking farm woérkers in the Oschersleben and Halberstadt dis. tricts.

The meeting wvas called fol- lowing a petition signed by residents of that ‘town asking the selectmen to get the voice of the people in regards to appropriating the sum of $80,000 to glve with $00,000 the state has offered to complets the road, The meeting was well attended and several excellent arguments were heard both for and against the high- way. After the ballots were cast and the votes counted, during which time great suspense was apparent on the part of those residents who have fought for years for the road, it wi found that the total number of votes cast was 143, and out of those 63 were for the road and 00 against it. Though defeated in their efforts to get the highway put through, the signers of the petition were not down- cast, however, and it s understood that Joseph A. Fagan, one of the principal advocates for the road, will yetition for another meeting in the near future, This was the third meeting on the question. Judge Edward H. Deming presided at the one last night. George Hanrahan acted as clerk. H. Whaples spoke in favor of the high- way but advised against building it at the present time, H. C. Ney ad- dressed the gathering as being against the proposition but urged the macad- amizing of a road which leads from Unionville to Plainville. Thomas D. Clancy also opposed the road. New Certificate Prices. Postmaster Usher wishes to an- nounce that effective October 1st, the prices at which Treasury Savings Cer- tificates have heretofore been sold will be advanced. On account of the continued In- crease in vaue in Liberty Bonds as vell as the general advance in all investments, and the graduzl deciine in interest rates, the government has decided to reduce the rate of interest pald on Treasury Savings Certificates to a basis of ¢ per cent compounded semi-annually. On and after October 1st these se- curities will be sold as follows: $25 maturity value for $20.50, tormerly sold for $20; $100 stamps for 852, formerly sold for $80; and $1,000 stamps for $820, formerly selling for $800. These securities mature five years from the date of issue and heing reg- istered are absolutely safe-guarded against the dangers of logs by fire or burglary. They also have the ad- vantage of being bought it a mini- mum price which increases automati- cally each month the certificates are held. Provision is made for their re- demption before maturity if desired, in which case the interest yield is about 3 per cent on the investment Postmaster Usher states that until October 1st he can sell Treasury Sav- ings Certificates at present prices which will yield the purchaser an in- come of 25 per cent on every dollar invested during the five year period to maturity.
