Promised Jail Sentences. Plans for a Tag Day for the bene- 1 fit of the Plainville Young Mems club
 to be held in conjunction With the
 celebration of Labor Day have been
 started by the board of directors and the interest shown by those who are to assist indicates that substantial 1 sum will be raised. Organization of the club is now practically complete and after the Tag Day it Is expected
 it's real activities will be begun. The constitution and bylaws which will govern the organization have been prepared and copies have been submitted to the board of selectmen in accordance with instructions to the com mittee The town officials are understood to be satisfied With the rules and there now seemingly is nothing to prevent the use of the Town hall as headquarters for the club.
 As it's object, the club is organized, according to the conditions, to develop and promote the moral phy- sical and intellectual well-being Of the young men of Plainville.' The mem bership Is to be composed of | sustaining and contributing members. Active members are to consist Of such men of legal age who may be- come engaged in the work to be un-
 dertaken and actively participating in the various classes organized from time to time, and of such young men and boys between the ages of twelve
 and twenty who actively take part in said classes.
 Sustaining members are those not
 within the scope of the first men, toned division but who pay dues, while the contributing members are those who pay one dollar or more towards the support of the organiza- ton.
 Officers of the club are to be presi dent secretary and treasurer. A board of seven directors is to be at the head of the society.
 The club is to meet on the first Wednesday evening of each month, a session of the directors following.
 Two instructors are to have charge of all classes in physical training and their appointment will rest with the directors. Monday, Wednesday, Fri day and Saturday evenings club meet ings for class work will be held in the Town hall from 7:3O to 10 o'clock, except during the summer
 To make it possible for all the young men of the town to become affiliated with the organization, the di- rectors have decided to make the monthly dues for boys between the ages of twelve to seventeen but 25 cents. Sustaining members will be charged $4 year, while young men over eighteen years of age who are classed as active members, will pay 50 cents a month.
 The affairs of the club will remain in the hands of the directors tenn porariV appointed at a meeting held some time ago until the members as- l semble on the first Wednesday in September for the election of officers. 1
 The outlook for the society is now | very bright, according to the men who | have been active in the development ] of plans concerning it's organization Nearly one hYndred youg men have 1 signifed their intention of joining and l it is believed there will be a large | membership by the time the classes are ready to begin their sessions.
 The club has the endorsement of 1 the Business and Improvement asso- citation, and the members of that body 1 stand ready to assist it With financial as well as moral support. The boys however, are anxious to make it self supporting for the first year at least and they hope to get a substantial | nucleus for the treasury from the Tag day receipts
 John Ahlquist, who has been a hard worker for the club since the idea of organizing such a society was sug- gested, will probably be one of the class instructors. MT. Ahlquist has ex- pressed a willingness to give his ser wees to the boys and he will probably be named by the directors.
 Jail Sentences Hereafter.
 Tramps and ''f1oaters'' who are at tracted to the town by the transfer station in future may expect no len iency in Justice CondelIs court when they are convicted on intoxication charges that official having decided to impose jail sentences, suspending judgment on1y when extenuating cir cumstances are shown. No longer will the Weary Willies'' be let off with light fines or probation, the court figuring that the only way to abate the nuisance which such visitors cause the town is to give their representa- tives who appear in court an oppor- turhty to reflect on their actions be- hind the bars.
 Much of the trouble appears to be caused by transients who after work ing two or three weeks at the transfer station quit their jobs on Thursdays in order that they may draw allt he wages due them. They then go on a spree and when their funds are exhausted apply for reinstatement Officials of the railroad admit that while the force at no time numbers over seventy, over eight hundred men have been given
