Berlin News BAGGAGE MASTER
 CULVER MISSING Official at Station MySteriously Disappears Leaving No Word GONE SINCE SUNDAY
Canning Demonstrations Will Be Held TomorrOw-Surprise Party Given to Eugene Sharp-Footbridg Over Hart's Pond Completed.

Considerable anxiety and interest has been manifested by the employees at the Berlin Depot in the mysterious disappearance of Richard Culver baggagemaster at the local freight station. Whether he is sick at his home in Merden has not been ascer- tained as there is no possible way of getting the desired information, none of the fellow employees knowing his street address.
 He worked Sunday but did not put in an appearance Monday morning to resume his labors nor had he appeared at the time of going to press.
 Many theories as to his sudden de- parture have been advanced but the majority of them do not sound even plausible. Some say that he went to Hartford to join the army, others think that he has had the misfortune to meet with some physical mishap while others express the opinion that he is merely sojourning at his home or taking a premature vacation.
 As Culver has a wife and child lV- ing in Meriden and is known as q very level headed man, a reasonab ble explanation for his being absent seems to be possible. Every solution sug- gested has d visible flaw. Officials thought at first that he was ill but because no notification has been re- ceived explaining his absence, this theory has been laid on the shelf Gull yer is about 45 years of age and has been employed at the local station for seven years.
 Canning Demonstrations.
 Mrs. Julian M. Dean, teacher of science in the Hartford High school who is demonstrating in canning for the Hartford County League and the Conservation of Food commission will give two demonstrations in canning at the Berlin Congregational church kitchen tomorrow. The first demon- stration will be held ip the morning between the hours of 9:30 and 11:30 and the second at from to in the afternoon.
 sy"tAt each session she will can both fruit and vegetables and in connection how it should be done to get the de- sired result at the least possi ble eN- penditure of money and time and in a sen4Rnner to obtain the greatest ma terial saving.

 &Frnoon will hold a session in East N n from to 4 in Athletic hall.
