The will of the late William Scott ot Maple street, who died on July 21, has been filed for probate and will be probated jointly with the will of his first wife, who died in 1907, because of Joint ownership of the estate. My ron D. StockWell and H. N. Lockwood are appraisers of both estates.

 The remaining third of the estate is left to be equally divided between MT. Scotts four children, Charles F. Scott, Mrs. Clara Scott Brownell, Mrs. Annie Scott Agard and Mrs. Lucy Scott Barnes

along fine most of them better than those of any other part of the coun- try. Considerable wheat has been raised in this town this year. more than any other year due to the re- quests that have been sent out by the government.
 An increase has also been noted in the amount of other foodstuffs that have been raised This has been due partly to the cooperation of the Hartford County league with the farmers. The County league agreed at the beginning of planting time to furnish all the local farmers with help whenever it was needed. Several were benefited by this service at time when it was needed.
 Returns to Town Clerk.
 Returns on two papers have been made to the Town Clerk, one on the birth of a daughter, Agnes Elsie Bodach, to NIr. and Mrs Augustus Bodach of this town, and one op the marriage of Elmer Elton and Anna Newfield. MT. and Mrs. Elton were married last Sunday at the Kensington Methodist church. Rev. F. F. Lounsberry performed the mar riage ceremony. Both the contract ing parties are s years of age.
 kensington Doing Its Bit.
 Once again Kensington has taken advantage of an opportunity to be of service to the country, this time through the housewives of this sec tion. The cards for pledging the number of quarts of vegetables that ar n hn 40 the food shortage which is expected unless something is done to prevent it, have been collected and it is found that 13,000 quarts have been pledged by kensington alone The quota for the entire town is 900 quarts, and it can be readily seen that the quota will be dOubly canned when the cards of all the sections of the town are collected. Much credit for the excel lent results obtained must be given to the solicitors for Kensington. Miss Marjorie Moore and Mrs. Burr have been handling the campaign in this section. It is expected that the cards for the Berlin street section will be collected at the end of this week. as the pledgtng has not as yet been com pleted. The solicitors for that sec tion expect good results as they have met with success in their work
 Registrars Session Tomorrow.
 The registrars will be in session at the town hall tomorrow during the regular hours to revise and complete the voting lists. The registrars are John A. Moore and Garner C. Good win. MT. Goodwin was appointed to take the place left vacant by the death of Robert Morse.

2O8 MORE ON SCALES
Mothers Mako Last Minute Rush to Have Children Weighed and Meas ured--Captains Meet Tomorrow.

At the Grammar school yesterday EOS more babies tipped the scales and were measured and examined in compliance with the rule under which the Child's Welfare campaign was conducted in this city in conjunction with the nationwide movement re- quested by the government recently. This brings the grand total of babies weighed and measured in New Brit ain up to 5,S50, nearly 1000 more than the estimated baby population. The heaviest part of the work came during the afternoon when 192 babies appeared at the school, only 16 being attended in the forenoon. The cam paign was practically closed Tuesday evening but owing to the inclement weather that afternoon, the commit tee voted to devote another day to the work and yesterday afternoon proved the advisability of the move.
 Most of the babies weighed and measured yesterday belong in either the Bartlett or the Burritt school dis tricts. However, all schools in the city were represented. The work is now completed, as far as the actual work of weighing and measuring the babies is concerned. The committee haS conSlderaple WOfK to do to dScSF- tain the total number of pounds of babies weighed during the entire campaign, and it is expected these fig ures will be given out in 8 day or two.
 Tomorrow afternoon 3:30 o'clock the captains will meet in the Cham Der of Commerce rooms when they will be instructed concerning the dis position of their enrolment cards. At 4:30 o'clock, in the same place, there will be 8, meeting of the executive m em bers of the Child's Welfare com mittee with the chairman, Mrs. Geo. w. Traut All members are urged to make a special effort to be present.

Dr. Burlington Resigned Post in
 Hospital at St. KittS
NOW VISITING IN TOWN
Col. Jarvis Has Excellent Field of Wheat, Comparing Favorably with Others in State-Kensington Pledges 13,OO0 Quarts of Canned Food.

pr. H. H. Burlington, formerly su- ment hospital on the island of St. Kitts, in the West Indies, is visiting t the home of Dr. R. M. GrisWold of kensington. Dr. Burlington resigned his position as superintendent of the hospital to come to the United States to enlist in the army as a surgeon. He was not accepted for the army due to a slight physical disa bility, and was disappointed, this having been his second attempt to get into the serv- ice. In 1915 he made an attempt to get into the British army as a sur geon but found that at that time the army had enough doctors and he could not be taken. Hearing that the Unit ed States army was in need of men of this profession, he resigned his posi- tton in the West Indies and came to this country confident that he would be accepted for army service.
 The hospital in which he has served In the West Indies is a very large one, owned by the British government. St Kits was one of the first islands dis covered by Columbus and since its discovery has been owned by the French, English, French and English combined, and finally by the British pr. Burlington has been connected with the hospital for about ten years in in the capacity of head surgeon. Be fore going to the islands he was su- perintendent of the Mercer hospital in North Carolina and had served on the # staffs of other hospitals previously While returning to the States to en- list in the army Dr. Burlington was offered the superintendency of one of & the hospitals controlled by the United States government on one of the West 4 Indian islands but turned down the of 8 fer, so confident was he that he would # be accepted for service.
 He IS at present touring the eastern 8 states by automobile, having started at Nashville, N. C., and will end his
 trip in the northern part of NIassa-
 chusetts. He will spend a few days
 in this town at the home of Dr. Gris-
 void.
 Col. Jarvis Excellent Wheat.
 Many reports are being published
 as to the excellent quality of the
 wheat being raised around the state
 each town claiming to have superior
 crops. Reports have been printed M through the press of the large amount
 of fine fields of wheat but it is safe
 to say that the ten-acre field which
 Col. Jarvis has just housed on the
 Berlin Farms is the best that can be
 seen. It should yield, he estimates,
 from 35 to 40 bushels per acre This
 week Col. Jarvis also expects to cut
 three acres of fine spring wheat and
 som ething over 20 acres of barley
