Tiniest Tad of All
 Is Greatest Worker

The Tiny Tads are fairies.
 Some are mischievous, some are dig nified and some are sornbre, but all are great workers for good. ~
 But there is one little worker who is the best of all, and he is called the Wan Tad, because he is thin from serving great and small.
 The Wan Tad makes 1t his business to see that everybody gets just what he wants, and that good cheer and satisfaction are spread broadcast wherever his beneficent presence Is felt
 He likes to show the way back home to lost doggfes. He is fond of hunting homes for tired house hunters who are obliged to move. But there! You have guessed who the Wan Tad really is. Wan Tad, after all, is only a nick name.
 His real name is known to every body who appreciates service. ' It isn't Wan Tad at all.
 The willing little server of all good people who give him a welcome is our Friend

the bank and on the finance commit tee has gained an enviable reputation about the state as well as in Berlin as being a 1evel-headed business man. E. w. Mildrum of East Berlin, aI-

 "P. S." In LimeIight Again.
 Patrick s. McMahon, the we'll known theater magnate of New Brit ain, came into the limelight again yes- terday when he attempted to oppose the officials of the Berlin fair, and Prosecutor William H. Gibney, who has charge of the policing of the grounds. Mr. McMahon, 1t appears, was given permission to have drove Of cattle auctioned at the grounds yesterday. It is claimed that he over stepped his rights when he had the bovines driven into a large ring in back of the grandstand, where cattle are tested for their strength. The test was to be held at II o'clock yes terday morning, but when the cattle dealers attempted to exhibit their beasts it was found that the ring was already occupied by MT. McMahon S animals. The secretary of the fair, Leland w. Gwatkins, was summoned and he expostulated with Mr. McMa- hon, but to no avail, the latter refus- ing f1atly to remove his cattle until after the auction. Prosecutor Gibney was called by MT. GWatkins and when MT. Gibney asked Robert M. Reid of Manchester, who is MT. McMahon's S auctioneer for his license to auction the cattle he could not produce it. Prosecutor Gibney ordered Constable Bradbury to place MT. Reid under ar rest, and despite the protestatiOns of Mr McMahon, the aucuoneer was confined in the police tent on the grounds. At this, MT. McMahon sud- denly changed his demeanor and de- cided to obey the commands of MT. Gwatkins, and removed his cattle from the ring and also secured the necessary license.
 Mr. McMahon also came in for fur ther criticism from the officials when 1 1t is claimed he fed his cattle witH the | hay provided for the exhibitors. It is 1 the custom of the Officials to give free l feed to the exhibitors for their cattI

 Auctioneer is Arrested for Not Hav- ': ing License-H Nuptials 
 -Announced-Farmh Injured.

With Friday, October 13, having
 been set by the republican state cen
 tra1 committee in session in Hartford
 yesterday, as the day for caucuses for
 representatives and justices of the
 peace, the political pot in this town
 has again begun to simmer. The rep
 resentative from this town this fall
 will be chosen from the Berlin dis
 trict Dr. R. M. Griswold of Kensing ton represented Der s,l at the last legislature and it is an unwritten law h this town that the representative shall be chosen from alternate dis tricts every two years.
 Four prominent citizens are being ! mentioned for the position. They are N Belectman William H. Gibney, Col Charles M. Jarvis, Francis Deming, all of Warrington Ridge, and E. w. Mildrum of East Berlin. MT. Gibney, IAls the belief of many, would make an Ideal man for representative. AL N though he has not as yet announced N guAlically whether he will accept the N ufice if 1t is offered to him, it is re- 8 ported that his followers will make a N strong drive to have him consent to Arun For the past fourteen years, MT. VI AGibney has triumphed at the polls as Ez hrst selectman only to be defeated at E the republican caucus recently by &&judge Willard I. filling. The reason 33 for his downfall is attributed by MT. 8Gibney's friends because of his lack <Kof campaigning. It was not known i & efinitely whether MT. Gibney would 8Pgain enter the political ring to suc- *3ceed himself until the day of the cau- G8rus. The political workers of Judge &4Allng in the meantime did not allow .3hny grass to grow under their feet and Z3When the caucus was held the results 7of their efforts were plainly visible &$It is~doubtful whether a better in X8formed politician can be found in the
 8town than MT. Gibney, and should he
 aeo ome out definitely with the announce R3ment that he is a candidate for repre-
 ksentative, the others will have to hus
 tie to defeat him.
 A Col. Charles M Jarvis, president o-
 4tlle Berlin Agricultural society, is al
 8ready said to have thrown his hat int
 1.-the ring and will actively oppose MT
 8Gibney or any other candidate for th'
 8office. Col. Jarvis is past master il
 the political game and with MT. Gib
 SEey as his opponent some fiery cam
 8paigning may be looked for within
 8fhe next few weeks.

 At the hearing, which was held be- fore Judge Byington, Dr. Tanner was represented by Attorney Pierce of Bristol Judge J. H. Kirkham of New Britain, appearing for the executsor.

 Health Officers Report.
 Dr. J. N. Bull has filed his annual report as health officer with the board of selectmen and it will be incorpo- rated with the statements of other officials in the town report, soon to be issued.
 The report follows:
 Selectmen-The year ending Sep tember 1, 1916, developed the fol- lowing cases of contagious diseases diphtheria seven, measles sixteen whooping cough seven, tuberculosis one, infantile paralysis one.
 Malaria ceased to figure as a com- mon cause of sickness. No case of sickness was traceable to milk, wa ter or ice supply as an infective cause.
 Many recognized and reported nui- sances were abated. Some were not abatable. Recent inspection of school property found satisfactory sanitary state.
 Our system of sewage and garbage retention caused no disastrous re- suits.
 J. N. BULL,
 Health Officer.
 Contract Awarded.
 The Eastern Publishing company of New Britain has again secured the contract for printing the annual town reports. The company issued the book last year and the selectmen, sat isf1ed with the work and the charges, decided to award the contract to them again. The company Is exceed ingly busy, having contracts for the printing of town reports from many places in the state, but it's officers have agreed to start work on the local statements at once.
 Copy of all the reports has been forwarded to the plant in New Brit ain, Auditors F. l.. Benzon and F. G. Osborne having passed on the figures which they contain.
 Town Schools Cost $15,121.53.
 Figuring the actual cost of the schools to the town at $15, ,121.53, A. L. Rogers secretary and financial agent of the school committee, has filed his report with the selectmen. The statement shows that the school plant has been operated on an econ o1nical plan and while a high stand ard of education is maintained the ex- pense of instructing the pupils is low when compared with that incurred by other towns. The average cost to the town for each child registered in the schools here is S2O.SS It costs the town on /con+inued on Tenth Pge.)
