 they will "open the eyes of their par
 hnfn
 and initiate them into the mystery of
 Boy Scoutdom A stage has been
 erected in the church and the boys

 ing walls and in the other work of the movement.
 A Dittle Praise.
 The inhabitants of East Berlin are ! wearing broad grins on their faces,
 for their roads are now in fine condi- ton. They were never better than they are now, having the appearance
 of billiard table, and those who motor over them say their appearance : is not belied by their smoothness. Town Needs Humane Agent. There is a feeling about town tha , there ought to be an agent of the
 Humane society here. William H [, | . thirteen years but on account of tn. , pressure of other duties he resigned 2 the position two years ago. MT. Glib
 i ney succeeded Nelson Taylor, who wa ', the first agent in the town. Ther . 1 have been several rumOrs about tow . the past few months regarding tn = mistreatment of animals, but a = ! there is no humane agent nothing wa 2 1 done.
 A certain disciple of Blackstone il o New Britain. who also conducts bus
 mess in which horses are necessary
 is comint in for great deal of crit
 icism. During early fall he made ar :, 1 rangements with a farmer for tn ,- rental of a pasture and he put fou ' l equines in the lot They were all i h an emaciated condition and he hope % to make them fit for work. When tn ,s cold nights came along the poor beast :, were left in the lot and the owne q made no effort to have them put in D stable. One of the animals died frol ,r exposure and finally the man frol ,- whom the lot was rented took tn d other three into his stable. Man ,e comments have been heard and the ,- are not laudatory to the man fro' ,u {! New Britain.
