 Sells Watch for Five Cents.
 The high cost of living was knocked to pieces here on Saturday night by SantO Tuli, d little Italian fellow aged perhaps six years, when he sold a $15 watch for five cents and a $40 watch for a ride on a bicycle. The matter was reported to Constable Marine, who by quick work recovered both ar ticles for the father of the generous youth. The boy saw his father S watches in his room and thought they would be valuable to him. He placed them in his pocket and went into the street. There he met William Tolli and offered him the silver watch for five cents. TOlli imm ediatelN accept ed the bargain and the watch changed hands. Proud of his sale the little fel- low continued on his way until he met Israel Snciderman, to whom he show ed the gold watch. He wanted ride on Sneiderman's bicycle and offered him the $40 gold watch for the same. Sneiderman quickly assented and the second watch was gone.
 The father of the little Italian boy did not miss the articles until ycster- day when he was going to use the gold watch. His son told him what he had

 Town Has String of Accidents.
 The town of Berlin had the largest number of accidents in short stretch the past two days that it ever had in it's history. Automobile traffic has been extremely heavy.
 Early Saturday evening Alfred Johnson and family met with an auto accident near Treasure fields on their way home. MT. Johnson was driving a Ford and in some unaccOunta ble manner the machine sWerved to the side of the road and plunged head-on into a tree MT. Johnson was cut about the face and body by the flying glass from the windshield but did not receive any niu"ie> Mrs. Johnson was cut about the face and body by the flying glass and also received severe bruises and cOntusions which rendered her unconscious for a time. She was taken to a nearby house where she was revived and then taken where she was attended by a phy- sician. The children escaped praC- tically unharmed. The automobile was badly dam aged, both the front and rear wheels being smashed and the front axle broken. The windshield was also broken.
 A large Cadillac touring car filled with children very nearly came to grief yesterday on Berlin street In

were immediately enlisted. He went to the homes of both boys and got the articles mentioned. The two youths who accepted the watches from the NOungster received a severe reprimand and were reminded of the punishment which is meted out to persons who ac- Cept stolen goods.
 Baseball Team Defeated
 The All-Plainville baseball team suffered it's first defeat of the season on the Rockwell Drake diamond yes terday in a very funny game played with the Acorns of Berlin. The game was decidedly a crabby affair and there not one interesting bit of baseball in the whole session. The Plainville boys started we'll and came through with five runs in one inning, when the boys from Berlin took it upon themselves to crab. The final score was Berlin 20, PlainVille 16. Oakes did the pitching for the local nine, but was away off form aud failed to show any of the rare pitch ing qualities which he is supposed to have.
 The time-it wouldn't be right to call it a game-Was interesting in one respect namely, the welcome to the eX-service men who were once more in the old Plainville uniform. The people witnessing the supposed game were enthusiastic in acclaimng the fellows who fought in France, served in tn S country or sailed the high seas. WadsWorth, home from the Navy on a furlOugh, was behind the bat and received much encouragement from the rooters. Manager Calazia was disappointed at the outcome, but said this morning to the reporter
 "I feel sure we would have won if the Acorns hadn't started grabbing. Oakes was off form and the fellows didn't put the usual life into tho game. Next Sunday I will have either a Southington or d Bristol team here and will promise the people that it will be a game of real baseball with out the grabbing which spoiled yes- terday's affair. The large number of people in attendance showed that there is an interest in the Plainville team and now I want to show them that the team is real one and can play real ball"
 Look Out for Marino:
 You're out of luck these days if you don't go to the right of the traffic officer in the center of the town and in the near future there will be a number of people appearing in police court to answer to a charge of dis obeying town traffic rules. Officer Marine has been instructed to wage war on autoists who think they own the road and care not for the safe travelling of other tourists or users Of

Mr.. Rushcroft was furious when he

"How should know anything about

uneasily. "She was afoot, having
