BOYS' DEPT.—STREET FLOOR B —— Berlin News FEAR PEAGH CROP RUINED BY FROST Cold Weather Works Havoc With Orchards in Berlin Section | LAY MEMORIAL DAY PLANS Adolph Schultz Named Parade Mar- shal—Horse Killed in Rccldcm-— Veteran Leaves for U. S. Hospital ~—Railroad to Shift Schedule. The consistent cold of the past few days was wrought havoc among | the peach orchards in the vicinity of Berlin and Kensington. Most of the orchards have suffered and .the outlook as regards native peaches this summer is decidedly unfavor- able, Jason M. Taylér of Blue Hills stated this morning that every bud in that section had been ruined by the gold weather, It was his conten- tion that nothing could be expected from local peach orchards for thls season. This condition will work a hard- ship on the growers, as the work of fertilizing and cultivating will have to be attended to regardless of the present condition. It was Mr. Taylor's opinion that apples were not gencrally affected, a3 the budding of this fruit had not yrogressed far enough to allow the frost to get in its deadly work. Memorial Day Plans Final plans for the annual Me- morial Day excreises were complet- ed and committees for the exccution | of these plans , were named at a meeting held Tuesday evening at the | home of Robert O.

Carrier Pigeon Lost A carrier pigeon bearing with the enumeration AU-29-NV( 1157 came down in the yard of Mrs. Richard Kreinberg of Worthingion ridge about a week ago. At the time of its discovery the bird appeared al- most exhausted. Mrs. Kreinberg fed it and then placed it in the chicken coop, where it seems to he ®etting along very well.
