Insects That Eat Crops, Says

THE singing 1aborer is worthy of his
hire" announces the biological survey
or the Department of Agriculture, in an
attractive illustrated poster advising
that local householders feed the birds
this winter
Every local bird you keep from

ice shut off its natural food supply"
says the poster, will repay you by de-
stroying hundreds of caterpillars,
grubs. borers, beetles and insects that
would prey on your flowers, vegetables,
fruit, foliage or field crops. Birds more
than pay for their keep. 1t is better
to feed birds little now than to grow
crops for insects later"
Among ways to help the birds this
Supply food frequently, especially dur
ing and after storms; provide feeding
shelters where birds can find food and
eat comfortably during sleet and snow
storms protect feeding stations against
cats which will kill or frighten the
birds.
The best winter foods for birds are
suet or other fat, pork rinds, bones
with shreds of meat, cooked meats,
meal worms, cut up apples, birdseed,
buckwheat, crackers, crumbs, cocoanut
meat, cracked corn, broken dog biscuits
OF other bread, hemp seed, millet, nut
meats Of all kinds, especially peanuts;

FAVORS HIGHER Salaries
FOR SCHOOL EMPLOYEES
Petworth Association Also Urges
Appointment of District Resident
to Police Bench.

Salary increases for public school en-
ployes, general betterment of conditions
for District government employees, pen
sions and higher wages for teachers in
the public schools and the appointment
of District resident for the vacancy
on the Police Court bench were urged
by the Petworth Citizens Association
at its meeting in the Petworth School
last night. Steps also were taken to
begin a campaign for procuring from
Congress the necessary funds to build
an addition to the Petworth School as
planned by the municipal architect.
Jesse C. Suter. chairman of the COM
mittee on schools. stated last night be-
fore the meeting that Commissioner
Kutz has told him the Commissioners
intend to take steps to procure the
$4,000 needed in addition to the $4,000
appropriated by Congress for the new
school building in Petworth. He said
municipal officials are unwilling to
erect a building for $4,000 because it
could not be f1reproofed for that price,
and would be generally unsatisfactory.
Reasons for Asking More Money.
The additional $4,000 is needed be-
cause of the advance in building me-
terials that has been made since Con-
gress appropriated the $4,000. The
present building Is overcrowded. and
much of the overflow is housed in an
old church building unsuited for school
purposes.
The school committee and the COM
mittee on law and legislation were au-
thorized by the association to cooper
ate with the Commissioners in the work
of getting the additional amount in
cluded in the deficiency bill soon to be
introduced in Congress.
The action of indorsing teachers pen
sions. higher pay for teachers. the Sc
lection of a District man for the Police
Court judgeship and the demands for
better conditions for District govern
ment employees was taken upon recon-
mendation of the executive committee
and was referred to the Federation of
Citizens Associations for approval.
The committee on parks of the asso-
citation was authorized to take steps to
secure the improvement of Grant Circle,
following a recommendation to that ef-
feet by r. E. Adams.

Liquor Dealers Arguments.

"Plainvile and Prosperity is the slogan adopted today by the liquor dealers, who have launched a cam- paign in favor of heavy license vote on October 1.
 The liquor dealers point to the fact that Plainville has never been more prosperous, that merchants have nev- CT had heavier trade and that Plain- vile industry is now at it's greatest point The dealers emphasize the great growth in homes within the past few years. the many real estate transa ctions, and ask whether people from other places would want to live in Plainville if it had been as hard hit by licensed saloons as those who are opposed to license claim it has.
 Among claims made by the dealers Is one that Plainville voters should give serious thought. Plainville has a very small police department. paid by the fee system. If the town had a larger force, one which would awe evil-doers before they had an oppor- tunity to infringe on the law, disturb ances might not be so frequent and law breaking that is laid at the doors of the sale of liquor would never oc- cur.-advt.

urday to take the oath. As Mrs. Ventres qualified, Town Clerk Shaw administered the oath. Mrs. Ventres then affiliated with the democratic party. She may now vote on all school questions and can attend the democratic caucuses. Thirty candi- dates of the 73 that registered were made Saturday. This is practically the same as last year.
 With the election but few days away little interest is being manifest ed. The only contests that are looked for are between Judge filling and James Brown for the first se1ectman- ship and between c. F. Lewis and Henry Pagan for tax collector. Both Egan and Brown. democrats, are working hard for their elections and it is believed that they will give the republican nominees a hot contest.
 LeClair Critically Ill.
 Leon LeClair, Sr., is critically ill at his home on Hudson street. MT. LeClair was taken sick about a week ago and has been confined to his bed ever since. MT. LeClair has been a life long resident of the town and has conducted blacksmith shop in Berlin for over quarter of a century.
 Tried to Sell Plot.
 Much mirth is being expressed about a certain well known local real es- tate dealer who is said to have an eye for business. Hearing tht one of Kensington's patriotic youths had en- listed in the navy, this w. k. real es- tate dealer approached the sailors father and tried to sell him plot
 
 expla ming why the parent should pur- chase the plot. the said real estate man argued that when the boys body when was shipped home from France he would be sure to have a grave to rest in. When the parent asked the en- terprising dealer what he should do if the battleship on which his boy was assigned should be sunk in mid-ocean, the dealer made no reply and the deal was not consummated

Reasons For Voting.

Four of the five saloons in Plain vile are located right in the center of the town, holding three of our most prominent business sites.
 Drunkenness, semi drunkenness, and the regular hang around nuisance that always follows the saloon is thrust directly in the path of our women and children doing their marketing, going to the post office, on the way to school or taking the street car. The language heard is an insult to decency.
 People passing through on trolleNs see many d sight rarely witnessed in the center of small town.
 Three saloons are within 200 feet of a post office or a church which never could happen again.
 Help the town go dry and make e our center clean-to say nothing of the moral effect on the community.
 It's aim is to make Plainville a
