storm and flood and sun and rain
the milkman goes upon the Jump,

Because one milkman milks the

Members of the committee Of arrange
mcnts called at the Office of Col. w. W.
Harris. engineer officer in charge of
public buildings and grounds. and dis
ciissed with him the use of the e1lipse
or space on the Monument grounds
for the production. Since the net pro-
cceds of the weeks performance of

BERLIN GIRL IN WAR CENTER
Miss Lista Lincoln Had Planned to Sail up the Rhine Today-Kensing- ton, England Last Saturday.

Woman suffrage arguments were ably presented by speakers of repute, at a. meeting held in the local town hall last evening, the result being the addition of the signatures of a, large number of local people to the petition asking for recognition, which is to be presented to the governor of the state, and the enrolment of quite few Berlinites in the Connecticut Woman Suffrage association, under the auspices of which the meeting was held.
 The principal speakers of the ,ve- ming were Professor Edward Parrott of Hartford, a former member of the English parliament, and Mrs. Par rott They expounded the princi- ples of equal suffrage in a convincing manner, after which they answered questions put to them by members of the audience.
 According to MT. Parrott, young men should not receive any larger wages for working in the factory than do the young ladies also employed in the centers of industry. It has been proven, he said, that wo- men are capable of performing many of the same duties which men are engaged in at the present time. He explained, also, that in many towns, women are large property owners. lie asked Ii 1t is fair that the men should be allowed to make all the laws governing town in which wo- men owned the greater part of the land.
 The audience was thrown into laughter when, as one of the speak CTS announced his willingness to answer any questions, some one inn naedlately stood up and asked in loud voice. What will husband do when mother goes to war? The lecturer said she considered that query unfair. More hunlor was in jected into the meeting when T c. Canfelds collie dog meandered down the aisle and up onto the platform. where he selected position almost in front of the speakers to lie down apd take in' the proceedings.
 It was stated when membership blanks for the Connecticut Woman suffrage association were passed out that when the organization was first started, about four years ago, there were but 300 members. Now the memberships numbers somewhere in the vicinity of 21,00O. During the first year that the association was al work, it raised and spent only $450. Last year, the suffragists raised and srent $1S,000 and expect to handle about $25,OO0 during the current year. This, it was pointed out, is certainly concrete indication of the success with which the movement for votes for women" is meeting. "It is but
