? ELKS. Conn th&m Herald says: :oetod grand tyler of the grand e party of Connecticut Elks who the coast to attend the grand inner guard a year ago it was said that the honor conferred on him was merely a manifestation of the habit of the grand lodge to recog- nize occasionally a Connecticut mem- ber of the fraternity, and that it would be a long time before another national office came to this state. ! It was noted in these columns on Feb. 21, 1915, following the amnnual banquet of New York lodge, No. 1, to the lodge offiers, that at this affair “It was the consensus of Eiks who ought to know . that James R. Nicholson of Boston, would be elected graml exalted ruler st Los Angeles in uly.” To those who appreciate what a rare event it is for an eastern man to heaq an order controlied for many vears by the west it seemed in- credible that the grand lodge would select two of its officers from New Bngiland. The election of Mr. Domo- hue, therefore, -is the more note- worthy, and he has a double distinc- tlon. He is the first Connecticat Elk to hold two mnational offices in the order. Mr. Donohue is one of the republi- can leaders of New London. He was s candidate for the office of factory Inspector a few months ago. This office and that of commissioner of the bureau of labor statistics were con- solidated, however, by the late general nrssembly into the office of the com- missioner of labor and factory inspec- tion. ~"".

His deputy is Willlam E. Duncan of Southington. Mr. Donohue is sealer of weights and measures in New London. —— WOMAN’S RELIEF CORPS. Sedgwick corps, No. 16, with the president, Mrs. Grace H. Manning in the chair, held its regular. meeting Friday afternoon at the Buckingham Memorial. In the business of the meeting was the installation of Jane B. Beed, as assistant guide ad Eva Jewett had recently resigned from this position. Arrangements were concluded for the celebration in the form of a bas- ket picnic next Wednesday at the home of Mre. Newton in Uncasville. The members are to leave here on the 10:15 trolley car. Thefe is to be a Jitney at the other end to take them to Mrs. Newton's if they wish to use it.. Mrs. Manning, who with Mrs. E. U. G. Baker, attended grand army day at Plainville gave an interesting re- port of that day. There were 81 who sat down to the dinmer and the day wag full of entertaining features. & G. A. R. Submarines and swift running tor- pedo boat déestroyers will be brought to Washington by the Navy Depart- ment to add a special feature to the series of events which are to take place at the national capital in con- nection with the forthcoming en. campment of the Grand Army of the Republic. Secretary Daniels is de- sirous that the old veterans shall be afforded an opportunity to see some of the implements of modern warfare in order to show by contrast which has been made since the days when the Grand Army men and- their brothers in_the navy bore arms. The fact is appreciated that because of its successful operation in FEuro- pean waters at the present time, the gubmarine is the most talked of wea- pPin of present day warfare, yet few of the veterans of the Civil war have ever n one. The suggestion was at first made that the department should bring to Washington the old Holland which was the first underwater craft of our navy and from which the suc- cessful boats of today have been de- sveloped, and place beside it one of ‘he recently constructed submarines. The fact that this vessel has been sold loja private concern will preclude that E:nxblmy, and accordingly. it has én planned to bring here one of the sarlier types and aiso one of the mod- ern submarines to illustrate the pro- ess made in construction.

Past Grand Master Frank R. Upson of Southington is secretary of the asso- ciation and he will be on hand all day to receive applications for mem- bership.

At the last meeting of the Past Masters Association held at the Grand lodge office in New Haven, August 14 was selected as the date for the annual banquet of the association.

Big Yield of Strawberries. J. A. Isham of West street reports very successful season with straw- berries. From a piece of ground 25x 255 feet, more than 700 quarts of ber- ries’ were picked, and with the exce tion of those used by the family, were marketed; for which Mr. Isham real- ized the handsome sum of $71.36. The last picking was made July 19 when about quarts of berries were se- cured. The plants from which this season’s crop was secured were set in 1914. The varieties were: “Crescent” and “Glen Mary”, 750 plans were set. ‘As it was very dry at time of setting many of the plants died; and this sea- son's large ‘yield of berries was the product of the plants that survived. Mr, Isham states that the fertilizer used was a “home mixture” of bone meal, high grade sulphate of potash, nitrate of soda and slag, 450 pounds of this mixture was used, one-half being sown broadcast and harrowed in when the plants were set, and the oth- er half applied as a top dressing last spring. No other fertilizer was used. Mrs. Alice Palmer, who has been at St. Joseph's hospital, in Willimantic, for treatment for several weeks, is so far improved that she has returned. Mrs. Mary B.
