NEW LOT FOR I. o. O. IF.

A new site for a building may be bought by the Odd Fellows, accord ing to a report now in circulation. They already possess a piece of prop crty on Arch street on which they in- tended to build, after they had moved away two houses on it, but the value of the buildings has decreased so much that it would not be worth while to move them. Or it is probable that even if they buy a new lot they will not build on it until the present finan- cial depression is over.

TOWN CLERK FINDS OLD GRAVES

Complies With Request of Man in
 Battle Creek, Mich.-Rev. E. M.
 Pickop to Be in His Pulpit Next
 S,nday-Girls to Have House Party.
 It is probable that because of the war situation in Europe at the pres ent time the Berlin Grange corpora tion will be obliged to abandon it's plans for erecting a new home on it's beautiful site on Deacon Norths hill. President Charles M. Weldon has called a meeting of the governing board for tonight when this matter will, undoubtedly, be threshed out.
 Some of the directors feel that there is no reason why they should not go ahead with the plans, but others are inclined to believe that currency may become scarce in a short time and seriously cramp the work, as it will be necessary for the Grange to borrow practically all the money needed to pay for the buhld- fng.
 It looks now as if the Grange will be obliged to tarry just little long, CT in the old Mechanics hall on Worthington ridge.
 Finds old Graves.
 In response to letter which he re- ceiYed from F. E, Belden of Battle Creek, Mich., Town Clerk Francis H. Shaw has located two graves in the \ Christian Lane cemetery, which were /, made almost half century ago. Owing to the fact that some of the old graves were not marked when the bvrying ground was cleaned up a short tirhe ago, the town clerk experienced some difficulty in finding the exact To- cation of the graves, but he succeeded in doing so with William Rulkelev,s lic and has informed his corresnon- lent to that effect.
 According to MT. Belden's com nunication, he is desirous of placing headstones on the graves of two rela. tises. It follows:
 Dear Sir: When the cemetery in Christian Lane was cleaned up, were the. old graves left marked in any way where no stones had been placed?
 My mother and sister are buried there, side by side (so I recall it) to he left of the entrance way near the main road, but no stone marks them. Could I find them were I to come there, or have you burial record to show where Sarah Belden and Iater) < .sMa Belden were buried? I wish to place stones at the head of their graves. Sarah Belden was buried here forty-six years ago. My sister Ella was taken there from a cemetery this city about forty-tWo years ago.

 The Judges were Mrs. Charles Rob- erts of Plainville, Mrs. Henry c. Spring of Bristol and Mrs. Moves Fish of Southington.
 Must Settle By Tomorrow.
 Personal tax delinquents have until tomorrow night to settle their ac- counts with Collector Hemingway, that official having decided to turn next week to the courts to get pay ment on unpaid bills.
 A few weeks ago MT. Hemingway notified residents who had not settled their bills that he would extend the time until August IS, and after that date would arrange to prosecute those who failed to liquidate.
 Since that time a number have de- posted $2 with him, and if the others make any pretense, of keeping ti-eir promises the collector will be busy tomorrow receipting personal tax bills.
 Local Boys Follow Circus.
 Three local boys, whose absence from town was noticed this morning, B are said to have succumbed to the lure of the sawdust ring and are now members of the tent crews employed by the Haag shows, which played here yesterday Messrs. May, Livingstone and Cambridge, three Plainvi11e young men, who spent great deal of time at the grounds during the day failed to show up at home last night and their relative believe they joined the circus.
 The show is scheduled to play in lot nf fhn missing young men sent word to that city to have them shipped back home. Managers of the circus were we'll satisfied with the patronage given here There was a big attendance at the performance last evening and while the receipts were probably in- sufficient to permit the owners to re- tire from business, the treasurer stated that they had taken in more than they expected of a town of this size.

Kindly ask the sexton if he has records of these interments and where in the yard they are located, so can find them"
 There were no records of the inter- ments on the books in the town clerks cff1ce so MT. Shaw was obliged to make a personal investigation at the graveyard. With the assistance of William Bulkeleys wonderful memory lie found the graves in question They were mad eso long ago that there was not even a mound over them, which accounts for. their being overlooked when the cemetery was placed in re- pair.
 S-Hour Shifts at Power House.
 The New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad company has changed the working hours for men employed in the power house in Ken- sington.
 Now all the workmen put in eight hours a day, there being three of these shifts. Formerly, the coal passers. engineers and oilers worked ten hours and the firemen nine hours.
 The local power house sends a cur rent of 11,oo0 volts9to sub-stations in Middletown, Meriden, North Haven and Unionville.
 Get Postal From Daughter.
 On postal card which she sent on July 28 to her parents, MT. and Mrs. J. c. Lincoln of Pennington road, Miss Lista Lincoln wrote that she in- tended to leave for Venice, Italy on the following day. It is thought that she is still in Italy. This is the last that the Lincolns have heard from their daughter.
 Miss Lincoln is a teacher in a New Britain school and it is probable that she will not be able to reach home in time for the beginning of the school term.
 Girls to Have House Party.
 Eight local girls, the Misses Grace, May and Ruth Skinner, Elsie Can- field, Alberta Elton, Marie Grasse. Elsie. Pickett and Marjorie Canfield and one New Haven girl, will leave tomorrow to enjoy a house party at Indian Neck, Branford, Conn.,, for one week.

HEAD OF WESTERN LEAGUE

CHICAGO, oct. I'D. p. O.Nein.
president of the Western league. in
Chicago Monday said drastic action
must be taken at once 10 save the
minor leagues from bankruptcy. He
blamed frenzied finance of the bosses
as well as raids by the outlaws" for
present conditions in the sport
That the Western LEAGUE suffered
outright losses OF S12.5OO last season
through the depredations OF the Fed
erals is the bald assertion of Pres't
O'Neill. Eight players, all of them
drawing cards in the circuit, We're lost
TO Gilmore's organization and all but
three clubs in the Western parted with
one favorite. The heaviest blow was
struck when Dutch" Zwilling. sold
by St. Joe TO the Boston Braves for
$1,000, turned down both clubs and
cast his lot with Joe Tinker's Chicago
Federals. The other losses ranged
from $1,000 TO $1,000 per man
F'renzied finance by the magnates-
that's the topic upon which Tip"
dwelt longest. Another evil said Tip"
is the outlandish salaries. Instead
Of paying a limit OF $500 per month
the mOguls should shave this figure
TO $4,000.
