 Mrs. Waldo is expected by her sis ter, Mrs Carpenter, to come for her usual summer visit before the church roll-call.

 "A cold, wet May makes a good crop of hay, but it depends upon June to verify the old saying '' said prac- tical farmer the other day.
 The rain prevented the mid-week prayer meeting and the grange meet ing of Friday evening. No one com plained, as the rain was much needed.
 The hours of the Sunday school convention at Somers prevented the attendance of those from a distance, and at the last the rain did not help the matter. -... ....#
 Seventeen from this grange attend ed the open. meeting at Storrs. All but two went by automobile. Master Smith was very much pleased with his delegation. .-.-.- .- e.
 To-day Wednesday, members of the local w. o. T. U., through the kindness of Mrs w. H. Hall, are in attendance upon the county conven- tion at Stafford Springs, impressions of which will be given next week.
 The bright Sunday brought good attendance at church, the text being Luke 6: IS, the distinction between disciples and apostles being lucidly explained. Several of the children walked long distance to Sunday school There were 45 present.
 Mrs. Electa Whittemore, widow of James Still, who died in Hartford Thursday after an illness of several weeks, was buried in the Stills fam fly lot on Saturday afternoon. The funeral party came by special trolley to Stafford Springs and by teams from there. Rev. E. W. Darrow conducted the committal service.
 In the items about Wilmington Hill, published in The Courant, the fact was omitted that the first house west of Maple Corners was built by Daniel Glazier, Esq, who. occupied it till he died and was afterward sold to George Robbins, and is now owned by his son, Benjamin. Also the house now known as Rest Cottage was built and owned by Noble Merrick, died there.

 We enjoyed a motor ride with Mrs. Amidon, Myrtle and Miss Copeland one afternoon recently. Some of us can remember, when the family bread supply run short of going to the neighbors for yeast to set more, but the story of that afternoon was an i'm proyement on the old method. Mrs Amidons having telephoned her ;in- vitation. and picking us up on the way. motored to West. Ellington for bread, and not finding even a loaf, went on to South Wilmington and bought them out, only two loaves of entire wheat, as it transpired, and pushed on to Merrows, where Roland Squire had full supply. Its more fun than staying at home and bak- ing, said the busy house mother, and the highly diverted guest agreed.

On Friday afternoon, commencing at o'clock, at the Center school
 house, will be held the usual Decora
 tion day exercises by the pupils of th' different schools in town, under tht auspices of the W. O. T. U., aftel
 which the children will march to tho cemeteries with the flowers they have
 brought to decorate the graves of sol
 diers The Ladies Aid society vii
 have ice cream on sale at conference room in the afternoon, and will serve supper of strawberry shortcake at ( o'clock. The ice cream and the strawberries have been ordered from Campo at the borough. Miss Jennie Church is the committee of the La dies Aid in charge at the conference room, and will choose her own assist ants. At her request cake is solicited by this notice. A large attendance is expected. In the evening there will be music and the singing of war songs and patriotic songs, under the leadership of Miss Dunning. Garry your books of war songs and join in the observance of the day.
 Sunday evening there was a memo rial Sunday service under the. aus- pices of the W. O. T. U. in the Clara Hall Elliott Memorial church, South Wilmington. MT. Hall sent up his large Pierce-Arrow car for Rev. and Mrs. Darrow, and included in the in vitation the Misses Palmer and Dun ming, Mrs. Brown and Mrs. Preston. The occasion was one long to be re- membered. The patriotic music was very fine, and the address by Hon. George B. Chandler of Rocky Hill had the true ring of patriotism. It is long since we have heard so good a speaker. Oratory does not receive the attention that it did in the days of Wendall Phillips, Edward Everett, Horace Greeley, Henry Ward Beech CT, Bayard Taylor, John B. Cough and others, who drew large audiences and instructed the people on living issues. Personally, we owe a great deal to the popular lecture courses of our youth. The president of the To- cal w. O. T. U. is to be congratu- lated upon the success of the meeting. Charles Amidon of East Wilmington carried load in his automobile, in- cluding Mrs. G. V. Smith from the Hill, and Oscar Himmeler party from West Willington-Miss Bugbee, MT. and Mrs. F. W. Pratt and others. This leads us to say that the local w. o. T. U. should have a larger and more extended membership in town. If we cannot always, attend the meet ing we can give it our encouragement and support, and our small member ship fee is help for which we get a return in a meeting like that of. Sum day evening. The organization is doing great many things that are done by the few, and we are glad to express our appreciation. The W. O. T. U. buys the flags for Decoration day, and it is no small thing to have the day properly observed in a way that shall be an object lesson to the May there be a revival of interest in this organization.

COMMON COUNCIL IN ACTION
Officials of Bridgeport Decide to Seek Permit from Legislature for Notes Issued by city-Improsement Ad-
 mitted by All as Necessary.

Bridgeport-An issue of serial notes amounting in all to s500,000 was approved by the common council, the proceeds of which are to be used to improve the streets, build new school houses and also new sewers. The measure now goes to the legislature for it's approval which is necessary before the notes can be issued.
 This matter came up in the council in the form of a communication and accompanying resolution from the board of apportionment and was adopted without debate on an aye and nay vote, Aldermen R. c. DeForest and Stephen Meaney admitting they were the only ones opposed to it.
 This matter was the result of spe- cial meeting of the board of appor- tionment held in the mayors office, at which all the members except G. w. Jackmsn and Siigmund Loewith were present Following a hearing given the subcommittee on school houses of the board of education the board went into executive session out Of which was evolved this plan for ts- suing serial notes to give the city the use of money for improvements that are admitted by all to be yitally neces- sary, which plan avoids the imposition of burdensome tax. The notes are to be divided as follows: $200,00O for schools to extend over Is years; $20O,- 900 for streets to extend over 10 years; and s100,0o0 for new sewers to extend over 10 years. Thus the whole amount will be retired in 15 years and the payment for the improvements will be scattered over that period of time, enabling the city to have the full enjoyment of them in the mean time.
