 GO. BUYS SITE FOR

Purchases Sexton Tract op- posite St. Michaeps Gene
 tery, Along Railroad

The Smith ComStock Co, Inc, the Water street merchants, have just purchased the remaining 100 feet of land opposite St. Michaels cemetery from James Sexton & Sons, monu- ment dealers, making a parcel 800 feet in all. The price paid is about S14, GOO. It is their intention to begin opera ton shortly for the erection of a large storehouse to cover the entire length of the property. A railroad siding will be constructed so that dozen or more cars can be placed at a time for loading and unloading. The property is located just inside the yard limit which makes it very convenient Af- ter the new building Is completed the eastern part of it, 100 feet front, will be set aside for the monument bus mess now carried on by MT Sexton and it is his intention to have an ex- hibit room where fine Italian marble statuary and other artistic work in granite and marble can be shown to the public. A nice waiting room in connection with his office will be maintained for the benefit of all vis- ftors to the cemetery, something long desired by the public. The very latest and up-to-date machinery is to be in- stalled for the execution of fine carv-
 
 granite and marble are to be employed by the firm to do the work where the public will be welcome to inspect it. The firm of James Sexton & Sons is the oldest established monumental firm in Connecticut and the 3sth an- niversary will be celebrated at New Years. N
 This parcel of land is part of the 75o feet decided to MT. James Sexton about 10 years ago by the N. r., N. H. & IF. R. R. Go. as a token of their appre- citation flor the many real estate trans actions which he had closed for them when they bought the additional land needed for the extra tracks near the freight yard and through, the town of Stratford. When it was learned that the railroad company desired much of the land owned by MT. Sexton the settling of price was always left with the railroad purchasing agent and it always proved far better than asking fancy prices as others did only to be disappointed The railroad company in every instance paid nearly double the price expected and much of the land located where the railroad freight yard now stands formerly belonged to the Sextons.

BREAD PRICE 10

Master Bakers Think HOoyeFS Rulings Will Not Be
 Drastic In Effect.

chicago, Sept 1S-Members of the National Association of Master Bakers, which is in twentieth annual session here today. asserted that fed eral food Administration Hoover prob ably will make only slight change in the price of bread This expectation ia founded on the belief that the price fixed will represent cost of manufac- tbrep Jus approximately 10 per cent which, they say, is the present mar gin of profit
 " An investigation of bakeries, large and small, is declared to be in pro- gress now with the idea of obtaining exact information regarding costs of manufacture and of handling bread Bakers, it is expected, will be hcens- ed and those who refuse to comply with government regulations will be denied permit to do business.
 Business sessions of the association began today. i,
 s. F. McDona,o, of Memphis, Tenn, president of the National Association of Master Bakers in addressing the convention of the organization here today, did not view with unalloyed optimism the government minimum of s2 for the 1918 wheat crop. On this point he said:
 "As an artificial stimulant to wheat production Congress proposes to guarantee a minimum price of $2 for the 1918 wheat crop. Al the same time Congress delegates to the farmer the right to hoard farm produce. These are conditiops tending to build up excessive bread costs The farmer. guaranteed $2 minimum, may quickly realize that small crop is easier to handle than a large one. A high minimum without maximum price tends to defeat the thing which the majority of the people are anxious to see, namely, a reduction in the high price of wheat With a reasonable maximur1 sPTics sths sf@fHar would know that he could not raise a short crop and hoard for za1 abnormal price, but would know that if he wanted a lot of money he would have to raise a lot of wheat to get it."

Here is another example of two brothers who volunteered their serv- ices in the fight for democracy. When their patriotic feeling was running at high tide they obeyed the impulse of the inner man and enlisted. Their names are Albert Buell. and Roy Buell. and they are the sons of Roy Buell. of Chestnut street.
 Albert, aged 22, is a member of the naval reserve having enlisted May 10, 1917 and was called out for service recently. He is now stationed at New Haven. He attended New Britain Grammar school, New Britain High school and in 1916 graduated from the Connecticut agricultural college. For a while he was employed by the Nor walk Chamber of Commerce as an agricultural expert, later accepting a position as head of the Mcclure farm at Brookfield. Incidentally, he has taken the examinations for the second officers training camp.

It is to be the duty of these indus trial correspondents to keep in touch with the aliens and know where they are and what they are doing; to di- rect their activity and to discover. report and prevent destructive meas ures on the part of enemy aliens; to make suggestions for the sta bilizing of the labor supply; to render whatever service is possible in finding employ lient for aliens in the locality and in adjusting difficulties between the aliens and their employers; to re- port from time to time to the Divi- sion of Aliens and to bring to it's at

 and finally. to distribute information among the aliens as to naturalization and their relation to the United States. In addition to this organiza- tiOn the Division of Aliens cOntem- plates instituting information offices in each county, conducting a cam

The 50th box was shipped on July 27, and in addition to this a. large number of childrens' garments has been completed and shipped.
 The planning and purchasing for all this work is no small task but it is carried on by an untiring commit tee and the foregoing list of complet- ed work proves that the women of New Britain are enlisted in large numbers in support of the work.
 The Red Cross has to be kept up by continued effort and many hours of hard work and it is upon the shoulders of the women of the nation that the larger share of the burden falls for it is the women who are ing hospital supplies.
