CHANGE In MAIL HOURS

Prescnt-Many Swimmers in Town
Berlin Items of Interest.

The Independent Political associa-
ton is the name of the new organi-
cation in Kensington which has. been
more or less of a mystery to many
local people. The organizatio has
been in existence for the East five
months and for one reason or another
members have avoided publicity, Of
any kind. This party was formed sew
eral months ago by : group of more
or less prominent Kensington resi-
dents who were a bit dissatisfied with
the general town government. At the
time of organizing there were not
many people in the club but at the
present time the membership hits the
$50 mark.
A meeting of the Independent po-
litical party will be held at Foresters'
hall in Kensington at o'clock to-
night At this meeting about so new
members will be initiated into the
order. Plans fer an outing will also
ne discussed as well as a brief out
line of the campaign to be followed
at the coming fall elections.
Daniel Mallaraey is president of
this association and Richard Brown is
vice-president. T. Basaelli is secre-
tary and Peter Georgini is treasurer.
A member of the club when inter
viewed this morning stated that the
purpose of the club was not to place
their own candidate in the field as
much as to support one from any
other party who is working for the
benefit and interest of the town.
Members of the club stoutly deny
the fact that they have in mind any
idea to boost a former selectman for
the same office at the election in the
fail. They feel that il any other can
didate is placed on the ticket by
either the democratic or republican
party and is worthy of their support
this candidate will receive the sup
port of the party. With the mem
bership Of the party being increased
to about 200 this evening the organ
ization feels that it will be able tt
play prominent part in Berlin pol
itics hereafter.
Mail Hour Changes.

Keasington post Office from the office

stating that hereafter the last mai

change is due, it is stated, because
of the fact that the mail car has beer

ing address to TIE board of supervis-
ors the other day. Among the many
good things he said, he outlined plan
by which the farmers can beat the

there was only one way to do 1t and
that was to make the cotton before
the weevil came in such quantities to
eat 1t up. He cited as an example o
farmer residing in Jones county. Miss.
where weevil was at its worst. This
farmer has raised from half to bale
of cotton right along. He uses about
200 pounds of acid phosphate and 100
pounds of nitrate soda to each acre.
This fertilizer causes the cotton to
come up and make before the weevil
gets at it. Mr.. Willis stated that the
government department of agriculture
for Mississippi had contracted for a
large quantity of this fertilizer to be
used in north Mississippi this next year
in growing cotton.
