School Attendance This Year Larger Than Ever Before
 KENSINGT0N IS LARGEST
Mrs. Mary Baratterio's Funeral This Morning-Joseph Moore Estate Hearing Next MOnday-Other News Items From Around Town

The Berlin schools opened yester- lday with the largest registration in the history of the town, 832 children being registered at the morning session. This is a considerable increase over any previous year, there being 5 more enrolled at the opening of the school this year than at the end of the first month last year, the figure at that time being 757. Since the regis tration of the first day is never equal to that of the month, the actual in crease will be greater than 75. The Blue Hills school is the only one which does not show an increase. This is due principally to the fact that that district is a farming community and the growth is not very marked.
 Provision has been made to care for this increase in the various schools las well as to relieve the serious over croWding which has prevailed during the last several years in certain schools in town. New rooms have been opened in the Hubbard school in East Berlin and in the Warrington school in Berlin. Already the enroll ment in these two schools has brought the number of children in each room close to the maximum which should
 
 rooms take care of the increase very we'll this year, but if the mum Der en- tering next year is still greater, more rooms and new construction will be necessary to solve the problem.
 At the Kensington Grammar school a new basement room has been finish ed off to be used by the first graders This makes ten rooms at this building which are being devoted to class r5oms. The enrolment in this school is 413 which is 23 more than last year The enrolment, however, will be some larger due to the fact that more chil- dren are expected to register within next few days. The rooms were bull, to accommodate classes of 37 each which shows that there is overcrowd- ing in every room despite the fact that another room has been added during the past year, only one room had as few as 37 children in it. The opening of the Ledge school, together with the new room at this building, will make it possible to arrange the classes fol this year so that none will go beyond the limits established by the size o1 the rooms.
 There was large registration at the different high schools from this town but as yet the actual figures and in- crease over last years have not beer compiled As soon as Superintendent . Showalter- makes a compilation the figures will be published.

Para, Brazil, Aug. 16, (Correspou ence of the Associated Press. )-T1 effort of the bureau of foreign and d mestic commerce at Washington induce exporters to pack their md chandise securely for shipment having good results. Merchandise now arriving in South America in b1 ter condition than formerly, it is sal when poor packing resulted not or in loss of goods but in injury to t market for American products.
 Importers are making complair against the manner of loading cargo on steafers A striking instance W the case of a recent shipment of flc to Para. It. was slowed away amo barrels of kerosene and turpentil being used to pack the barrels snu ly. The four was useless when 1t W received here and had to be thro, away.
 A shipment of 1000 barrels of ( ment from a New York state man facturer arrived here on an eas coast steamer, addressed to a me chant in Lima, Peru, via Callao. Ce lao is on the other side of the co tinent-farther away from Para sea than Para is from New York.

these pioneer people, carving civili- zation out of the wilderness, paused in their work to establish a church in which they might worship, and which was to perpetuate their ideals. The little church at the corner of Fourth and Main was the result. Then there extended period of fifty years. At the end of that time, the tide of the business dis trict of the growing little town be- gan to creep around the church, and members of the church decided to build another church, not only to get out of the business district and gain more calm for worship, but to take care of a growing congregation
 The brick structure at Sixth and Main was then built. At the time of it's erection, that locality was con- sidered near the edge of town, and was in fact, remote from any of the business portion. Thirty-one years have passed since the erection of the present First Methodist church, and now, once again, the First Meth odist people have viewed the rising tide of business creep about their place of worship; they have gain seen growing congregation demand a larger, and more imposing church.
 Still Downtown.
 Thus, one hundred years after the assemblage of that first handful of Methodist people in the little town nestled among the big pine trees on the high bluff of bend in broad river, the congregation of the First Methodist church again undertakes the erection of a new house of wor- ship.
 Its location will not be far from the business district which is per- ceptibly creeping southward, but is withdraws to a side street, to remain there in the quieter waters during the coming years of Pine Bluffs growth.
 Four pastors have been identified with the critical periods in the his tory of this church. First comes Rev. John A. Henley, who preached to the first assemblage of Pine Bluff Methodist. Next is Rev. William P Ratcliff, pastor at the first church erected that at the corner of Fourth and Main. Then comes Rev. J. F. Carr, who was the first pastor in the new church at Sixth and Main. Rev. E. K. Steel, present pastor, is the fourth of these men.

Building of New Methodist Church Marks Hundredth Anniversary of the Foundation
 Of Congregation in City of Pine Bluff

The announcement that plans have been completed for a new $100,000 church and a .$15,OO0 parsonage to be erected in Pine Bluff by the con- gregation of the First Methodist church, brings forth a striking coin cidence in the history of the Metho- dist denomination here.
 For the erection of these two handsome edifices comes just one hundred years after the Rev. John A. Henley, a circuit rider, preached toa small assemblage of Methodists, and with that session, organized the first Methodist congregation in this city. At regular intervals from that time, circuit riders included Pine Bluff in their regular itinerary, but it was not until IS years after wards that the. congregation was able to erect a church.
 This church was built in 1887 at what is now Fourth and Main, the present site of the new store to be occupied soon by the s. H. Kress company. It was small frame building, according to present day standards, was extremely unpreten- tious. However, it was justly the pride of those who were responsible for it's erection, and for fifty years was the place of worship for the Methodist people here.
 31 Years Old.
 In 1887, the need for larger church was felt, and building com mittee, composed of R. s. Thompson, E. T. Wilkins, Dr. A. B. Loving, and J. H. Talbot, conferred with Jacob Talheimer, an architect, for plans for new church. The result was the erection of the present First Methodist church at the corner of Sixth and Main. This building was constructed at the cost of $16,0OO and was considered a highly expen- sve church at that time. The cor nerstone was laid November 9, 1887, and on July 1, 1888, the church was completed, and the first service in the new church was held by the pastor, the late Rev. J. F. Carr.
 The growth of the First Methodist church is typical of the growth of Pine Bluff. Come first, mere hand full, assembling one hundred years ago in little frontier river town to listen to the word of God as in- terpreted by a rowing circuit rider. Later come a period during which

VILLA PLANNING CAMP PA|CN, SAYS
 REPORT TO U. s.
COntmeplates Drive South From Durango Headquarters, is
 Belief.

Washington, Sept. 2o.-American officials are greatly interested in news indicating that Villa is planning new campaign against Carranza, which accounts for the activity he has displayed during the past few months, accumulating munitions and men in Northern Durango. It is said that he contemplates to drive south from his present headquarters and will keep away from the border so that by no act of his can the Ameri- can army be sent across the Rio trande as was the case recently at Juarez.
 Villa released a short time ago g. 100 Carranza prisoners which his troops had captured. cautioning them to keep out of the federal army and urging them to turn over to him all the rifles and equipment they could get. Many of them enlisted at once m the Villa army, while others re- turned to their homes on parole. Six hundred men from the Santa Rosalia garrison and 300, from the Chihuahua garrison have recently deserted and 1olned the Villistas, according to these reports.
 It is said here that General Fran cisco Gonzales transfer from Juarez to !amplco was caused by threats against his life by his own troops be- cause his acauiescence in the recent crossing of the border by American troops.
