 Notice was served on all roomers a lew days ago that rents would be raised and the rent for the store on the ground floor was also increased It was then that Zahary Brothers made an offer to Missett for the purchase of the building. and it was accepted the deal being completed Saturday.

They will make no changes in the building at present and the hotel will be conducted under the new mana cement.
 ClgE1bake a Success.
 The clambake held yesterday by the local post of the American Le- Gion was huge success from every point of view. Although it was orig finally reported that the affair was to be held at Sunset Rock, the place was changed and the bake was held near the old Burt farm near the Southington town line. The men met at Central Square at 2 o'clock yes- terday afternoon and were taken to the scene of festivities in automo- Tiles donated for the occasion by generous citizens who have not for gotten what the soldiers and sailors did for those who stayed at home
 Arriving at the place a "feed' was furnished for the men, consisting of baked clans, roast corn, sandwiches cake, and last but not feast, a barrel of cider. There was enough of every lhinS to go around more than once and the apple juice proved a pleasant surprise for the men.
 Following the feed there were a number of races of all kinds and a couple of baseball games in which the scoring was more prolific than bril- liant fielding.
 Following out the promises made to the men, the committee secured good speakers. Major Augustine Greene introduced them the first one being Captain James B. Moody of Hartford Captain Moody was one of the pioneers in the American Legion movement in Connecticut, and was the first chairman of the state executive committee. He later resigned that office and is now a member of the com mittee. He told the men what the Legion means to each and every eX-service man and appealed to every one of them to place his name on the roll of the organization. He gave the service mon what they did not have before, a clear understanding of the purpose and makeup of the American l'cglcn and impressed them in favor of the movement. A lieutenant who was wounded in France, but whose ramc could not be learned this morn ing, also addressed the men along the same lines as did Captain Moody.
