Anniversary.-Dep From Town
 Leaving Many Creditors.
 MT. and Mrs. William Cunningham of Maple street, well known resi- dents, were married twenty-five years ago yesterday and last evening large number of friends paid them a surprise visit to assist in the ob- servance of the silver wedding anni- versary. The couple had planned for a most informal celebration of the event and they were genuinely sur prised when good sized delegation called at their home to extend their felicitations and make the occasion one to be happily remembered.
 The house was prettily decorated, yellow chrysanthemums standing out prominently in the color scheme.
 Vocal and instrumental selections rendered by Mrs. Martin Casey and Miss Annie Cassidy were greatly en- joyed. Both prizes went to New Britain, Mrs. Margaret Mulaney cap turing first honors and William kra- mer getting the consolation award
 The couple received many gifts Of silver from their friends.
 MT. and Mrs. Cunningham are we'll and favorably known here. They have been residents of Plainville for many years and have host of friends who join in wishing them well on the occasion of their anniversary They have seven children, five sons and two daughters. MT. Trumbull is em- ployed at the Trumbull Electric com pany's plant and is we'll liked by his employees and factory associates. ..
 Departed Leaving Bills Unpaid.
 Mystery surrounds the continued absence from town of Anna Calow, a young colored woman, who left town suddenly three months ago, and has not been heard from since, and today the authorities were asked to take some action to straighten out her affairs.
 The woman had q flat in Nlcolo Pestillos house near Hart's corner and the owners have not heard from her since early in August. The fur niture has not been disturbed and Anna seemingly has made no effort to have it removed or otherwise dis posed of.
 Pestillo has not received any rent for the place for months. He now has an opportunity to get new ten- ant for the flat and his wife called on Grand Juror Norton and Deputy Sheriff Hart this morning to find out what course she should pursue to get rid of the Cal1ow womans furniture and at the same time recover, if pos sible, at least part of the money due for rent.
 Pestillo's wife told Prosecutor Nor
New Britain herald., 1914-11-21

ton that when the woman rented the flat she was accompanied by George Freeman, who sine said was going to marry her.
 Freeman denies all knowledge of the woman's whereabouts and dis claims responsibility for any bills she may have contracted. He declares he has nothing to do with the fur niture and as far as he is concerned the Pestillos may do what they please with it.
 Mrs. Pestillo told the police that the furniture was held by the woman simply on lease and that it belongs to the dealer. She was advised to notify the owners to remove it from the house. It was also suggested that she store the balance of the woman's possessions. s..
 Pass on Police Rules.
 The board of selectmen at it's reg ular meeting last evening accepted, with some slight changes, the rules governing the police officers of the town, as prepared by the chairman, William J. Johnson.
 Some of MT. Johnsons colleagues did not believe it wise to lay out a long beat for the patrolman, as they believed his services are re- quired at the center a great part of his time. Selectman Johnson was willing to have the clause referring to the "beat'' changed to allow the officer more latitude and making it unnecessary for him to cover it, at least when he believes he can give better service by remaining at the center.
 The other rules were adopted and will be put into effect at once. They are similar to those in use in many cities in Connecticut.
 Offering for Red Cross.
 Arrangements have been made for the annual union Thanksgiving ser vice to be held next Wednesday even ing in the Congregational church, Members of all Protestant churches will unite at this service Rev. F. l.. Grant, pastor of the Congrega- tional church, has been selected for the preacher.

'keasngton Voters Agitatt Need
 : for This Improvement.
TOWNS GROWTH IN THE BALANCE
W. Gordon Brown to Be Given Hear jug by Secretary of State Tuesday, "Iatsey" Kingo Sues-Harvard Car Stops at Berlin.

It is with the hope that something
 will be done for the introduction of
 water power into Berlin that the peo-
 pie of the town, particularly those < of kensington, look forward anxiously tos the next session of the state leg islature.
 Before that time the agitation on Fthe question, which is now at high pitch, is expected to take definite form,
 and the towns representative, Dr.
 Roger M. Griswold, be instructed to
 introduce bill asking for one of the
 four possible methods of improvement . CD the amendment of the charter of New Britain so as to allow that
 city to extend it's water system to
 Ilensington; CD the establishment of fire district; (3) the granting of a
 borough charter to Kensington or (4
 the demand of the American Paper
 Goods company to supply the town
 with water under the charter which 1t was granted by the general assem-
 ply four years ago.
 Extend New Britain Mains.
 The present consensus of opinion
 is that the first of these plans would be the most feasible, for as has been pointed out, it would be compar- ative1y small matter for the city of New Britain to extend it's water sys-
 tenn from the town line at Towers
 borner, where 1t now terminates, to EKensington. In the event of this kbeing done the expense of laying the additional pipe would, of course, de- Evolve upon the Hardware City which, however, would, in turn, be reim- Ybursed by the revenue collected from kthose who used the water and who Fwould be only too glad to pay a little axtra for this necessary improve ment. By the esta blishment of a fire dis :rict in Kensington, the taxpayers of he district would be authorized by he state to provide a water system for themselves. This would involve 1 fa large expense, but it is safe to say that by the issue of bonds it would ] not be impractical. This expense would be the same Through borough charter, for this {; {1c.ument would among other things, | lncluGe the provision for the fire dis 1 kuict and for the establishment by the taxpayers of a water system of their i own.

Ultimate Need of Sewer.

But, regardless of the manner in which the hopes of the Kensington people are realized, the introduction of running water will ultimately mean the establishment of sewer system here, and this question would prob ably be more difficult to solve than that now under consideration. The town could not utilize the Mattabessett river for sewage disposal. Neither could It we'll afford to construct filter beds, and the people of New Britain would undoubtedly set up howl if Berlinites should suggest a proposition for turn ing their sewage into the filter beds at Beckley Quarter. What could be done under the circumstances? Of course. it would be possible to do without the sewer for time, but 1t would not be long before the need for it would be felt.
 Prominent among those in the agi- tation for the introduction of running water is Rev. J. c. Brennan pastor of St. PauPs church in Kensington. which, because of the lack of a water system, was obliged to sacrifice it's valuable church on Main street in a disastrous fire few years ago. The clergyman and his parishioners have had the need of running water in kensington impressed upon them quite forcibly and feel justified in ask ing for improvement along this line.
 Water Would Stimulate Growth
 It has been estimated that the in troduction of water power into Ken sington would stimulate the districts growth to such an extent that with in a period of less than ten years it's population would increase by about five thousand. All other modern inn provements are enjoyed in that sec- tiOn of the town and, with the addi- tion of running water such land as that bordering on the New Britain branch of the railroad would quickly be developed into valuable factory sites.
 Griswold Makes Statement.
 Dr. Roger M. Griswold, representa- tive-elect, in an interview with Herald reporter, said: "In my opin- ion, there are but two satisfactory so- lutions of the water problem for Ken sington; either by the extension of the New Britain water mains, or a borough charter which shall include a part of the present so- called Kensington parish.
 While the latter might for the present be the most expensive, it would in the end be most satisfa ctory as under a borough charter we could provide for fire protection, for patrol of the streets, for laying sidewalks and so forth
 II fully realize the need of water in Kensington, but as representative for the whole town of Berlin, I am not at liberty to institute any action which might be construed as bene- i fcal to one part of the town and detrimental to the rest of the town. action may be taken in the I am anxious to do all in my power to bring about satisfactory 1

STATE SEED GROWERS
TO HOLD CONVENTION

Plans are already under way for the
holding of a convention of the State
Seedgrowers' association next winter.
The date has been set for Dec. l, and
g. and the outlines are being drawn for
the feature of the convention, which
will be a big seed fair, at which pre-
mums win be offered to exhibitors as
high as SIS in cash, with many spe-
Gals in implements and livestock.
The university extension department
is encouraging the movement as great
help toward seed selection and the i'm
provement of breeds in all crops. Farm
ers are urged to keep the convention
in mind and to begin even now to pull
weeds and prepare for good seed ex-
hibits. One flat rule has been laid
down, that no premiums will be award :
ed to foul seed or to seed that will
not pass a rigid inspection. 1t is in
tended to make this seed fair the sift-
ing place for all the superior seed raised
and exhibited at the county fairs, to
the end that the best of Idaho's sam
pies may be sent to the national seed
fair to be held in San Francisco dur
ing the exposition next year.
Premium lists for the state conven-
ton and seed fair may be obtained
on request from r. B. Coglon. secre-
tary of the State Seedgrowers' asso-
citation.

One of the important features of the
Idaho Pharmaceutical association last
week was the address by James II.
Wallis, state pure food commissioner.
on the sale of narcotics. The address
was enthusiastically received by the
druggists.
Mr.. Wallis spoke in part as follows:
I'm the first place, l want to con-
graduate the druggists of the state on
the better feeling that exists between
them and our department ! have al
ways felt assured that as soon as the
pharmacists, understood our real posi-
ton with reference to their business
and our desires to clean up some fea-
lures existing in some parts of the
state which would bring credit to the
legitimate practitioners, that We would
have the cooperation of all those who
are DESTROYS of complying with the
law in every respect.
The Sale of Narcotics.
CAS- you know. the last legislature
passed a law providing for the COM
hitting Of alcoholic and narcotic UNI
fortunates to the state insane asylum
for treatment and cure. In CONVERSE
ton with those having charge of these
unfortunate individuals am astounded
to hear the confessions they make with
reference to the indiscriminate sale of
cocaine and morphine by some of our
druggists. The class of individuals
who take chances against burglary and
horse stealing, are those who have no
thought of the future and do not care
what the people think or say; and to
think Of a pharmacist or druggist, a
man with a degree of pharmacy, COL
/ 1ege graduate, who meets the best
class of people, who respect him as a
professional man, to take chances
1 against selling cocaine and morphine
illegally, for the sake of a dollar, not
saying anything about the individual
to whom he sells it, is one of the curses
of this country. This, and the elicit
sales of intoxicating liquors has caused
people to look down upon many of our
pharmacists, and to not regard them
with as much esteem and respect as
they otherwise would.
! "Of course, l want to say in justice
/ to yourselves. that these cases are few
and far between, but it is the duty OF

macist or not, who knows of such

pharmaceutical crooks, to waste no
time in turning them over to the au-
thorities; for the sooner this class of
would be pharmacists Is eliminated
from your ranks, the better off you will
be. l apply the same language to that
class Of physicians who also are not
particular in their scruples about COM
plying with the law in prescribing for
these drugs The indiscriminate sale
of cocaine and morphine by druggists
has long been thorn in the flesh Of
legitimate trade; that portion should,
and doubtless will, welcome any means
which will stop the disreputable busi-
ness.
Increase in Use Of Cocaine.
1.-THE increase In the use of cocaine
in this country is public scandal and
if this increase keeps up for a great
many years at the ratio which 1t has
established in the past decade or two,
the whole fabric of society will be shat
tered. State law after state law to
control the tariff on this drug has been
enacted and those laws have been
amended and made more stringent until
it seems that In some state. at least,
and 1 cite Idaho for instance, the in
discriminate selling Of the narcotic
would be compelled to come to an end.
However, when a coke fiend' has be-
come firmly established in this habit
he will get hold of his supply Of the
| dope in one way or another, or do
anything but die in the attempt. The
demand for drastic measures that will
put stop to the cocaine danger is
long and loud Congress has given heed
to this demand, and it's lower house
has passed the so-called Harrison anti
narcotic bill, which Is now awaiting
action by the senate. Perhaps that
body would have disposed Of the bill
before now, if such weighty matters as
the tariff, currency and the Mexican
situation had not been demanding it's
attention almost to the exclusion Of all
others. The Harrison bill, as you
doubtless all know, provides for the
registration of dealers In narcotic
drugs, as a reasonable and effective
measure to provide means Of tracing
the particular habit forming narcotic
drugs from the time of their introduce
ton in the United States until they
reach the hands of the physician and
