The first of the family to set- tle here was Nathaniel Boardman, who came from Topsfield, Mass., in 1704, and from that day to this the ancient name has been honorably maintained by all who bore it.

For thirty-one vears he held the af- fice of registrar of voters and from time to time other places of promin- ence. In 1878 he represented Griswold in the state legislafure. In that year the present capitol at Hartford was com- pleted and the legislative body to which he belonged was the first to meet within its walls. Before reaching middle life Mr. Boardman was attack- ed by a form of rheumatism of a most painful and stubborn character whch so preved upon him that he was oblig- ed to give up the most of his activi- ties and submit to close confinernent at home. For twenty-three vears he was unable to walk without the aid of crutches and for long periods obliged to keep to his bed. Through all that time he ke in close touch with the affairs of his town and country, he read widely, he cuitivated his friend- i 0 made his own life endur- mself, and charming té his acquaintances. Mr. Boardman was possessed of a most remarkable memory which tena- ciously held that which he had read or heard and he was acknowledged by all who knew him as an authority on all matters of local history. On Sep- tember 1st, 1868, Mr. Boardman was most happily married to Miss Phebe E. Lillibridge, the daughter of Nathan nd Ru (Douglass) Lillibridge, of wn town and neighborhood, who vives him.

Last year a ten per cent .raise In salary - was granted, and the new schedule rpcommended now is approx- imately a’15 per cent. raise, the board imembers said, an increase of 25 per cent in two vears, and they were a unit in deeclaring that they believed they have treated the teachers as lib- erally as the town can afford. Thev Lave been assured that the schedul? they have now recommended compares favorably with the salaries paid in other towns of corresponding size as it gives a salary range from the mini- mum of $600 to the maximum of $950, The board members mentioned also that in three gdistricts of the town— Greeneville, West Chelsea and Occum —the teachers are now getting 100 STATE HOSPITAL SCHOOL GRADUATES SIX MEMBERS.

The forest regions hereabouts de- vastated by the gypsy and brown- tail moths will be inspected Friday by the state board of finance and mem- bers of the state appropriations com- mittee, The party will go to Putnam where it will be met by W. E. Britton of the Connecticut Agricuitural Ex- periment Station and will proceed in motor cars through eastern Connecti- cut, western Rhode Island and south- eastern Massachusetts, where the moths have committed their most se- rious depredations. An appropriation of $50,000 was made by the last general assembly for the suppression of the moths, and this sum is to be used with a grant of a larger sum from the federal government for the same purpose. Among those who will make the trip Friday are: Comptroller Morris C. sWebster Robert V. McGee, John M. Wadhams and E. Kent Hubbard of the board of finance and Edward §. Boyd, Frank E. Morgan and Ed- ward F. Hall of the appropriations committee. Alaska on Mission Programme.

With the salary schedule that has now been recommended, the board figures there will be an increase of $15,000 in this item of the school bud- get, while $12,000 more will be added if another $100 increase is granted for the 135 teachers, which it is under- stood, will be the proposition to be }waught before the special town meet- ng. In fact, the members said, that in- creases in the price of materials and supplies and the salaries make it look as if a total school budget of $170,000 for next year would be called for, where last year the budget was $135,- 000. One of the big items of increase is coal of which 1,000 tons will be needed and this will cost $2 per ton more than last year. The board members commented un- favorably upon the fact that the teachers had not responded to their invitation to send a committee to meet the board but had made appearance through an attorney and they reiter- ated their conviction that they had recommended as much of a salary in- crease as they felt the town could af- ford. S ST s E s R e et L P SR IR CONGREGATIONAL PICNIC FILLED THREE B8ARS. Day at Ocean Beach—Ball Game and Athletics. Great The United Congregational church held its first Sunday school outing on Wednesday when 300 of the members of the church and school filled three cars on their trip to Ocean Beach, starting from_Frankiin square at 9.15 in the morning. J. E. Sherman had charge of the liquid refreshment, assisted by Miss Abby Gallup, and soon after the arrival at the beach had the ice celd orange- ade ready to hand out to use with the basket lunches each had provided for their noonday repast. The energy thereby stored was spent to a considerable extent during the first athletic event of the afternoon, when two teams captained by Edward Bognanski and Roland Harris made the surroundings dangerous for a few innings which resulted in the score of 11 to 4 in favor of the latter team. The lineup. comprised: Bogdanski's team: Joseph King William Buckley p, Edward Bogdans! ib, C. L Smith 2b, Levi Talbot 3 Charles King rf. Theodore Montgom-, ery cf, Demald Rathbone If.

Raymond Heebner 2b, Roland Harris 2b, Herman Whitehead rf, George Mount cf, John Doe 1ft A record was tabulated of the star plays until they were so numerous that the description was somewhat tangled by their overlapping and it appears necessary to tell of but two. These were the ic catch in mid-air of a fly by ililam Buekley when he jumped from the hoard walk 0 the beach below, making the third out in the second inning. and the throw by Raymond Heebner from deep cen- ter to Catcher Cary at the plate. thereby cutting off Pitcher Buckley from a home run in the third.

Aphis by Millions Attack Norwich Home Gardens—How to Meet the Great Offensive. The aphis has arrived by the mil- lions. If the home gardeners of Norwich and clsewhere in Connecti- cut haven't been. paving strict at- tention to their potato plants they had better look after them at once. Chances are that they will find them covered with green and pink Ifee, hundreds to a plant. And their numbers will increase with every day's delay. Agricultural experts say these lice (aphis) suck the jvice of the plant much as certain ani- mals abstract the hlood of their prey. If this is allowed to 2o on the plants, of course. lose their vitality and die. The great offensive on the part of this Imsect army sinow in full force. Farmers and eardeners should be opposing it to the limit. The most effective weapon, ac- cording to the universal opinion of mixed with water and soap enough experts, is a nicotine preparation to make a suds, the mixture to be applied by spraving. The basis of this iz known in the market as Black Leaf Forty nd full instructions are given with every package. Because of the fact that death to the lice is caused Ly contact only, the spray- ing operation must be verv thorough: particular attention should be paid to the underside of the leaves of the plant. The mirture must hit the lice in order to kill them. In home gardens in this city the past tew davs men and women have heen fightineg thA pest in addition to the war against the potato bug. Quick and thorough action is necessary. The aphis also attacks tomato plants. STRAGGLING SOLDIER Henry Reek Was Found in City— Overstaying Leave From Fort Terry.
