The new road between this town and New Britain was also discussed by the members last night. The New | Britain Chamber of Commerce has already had the matter before it. 1 Contrary to the ideas that some of 1 the people here in town have regard ing this new road, the plan is not to build new highway between here and the Hardware City, but to build concrete road on the bed that is already laid. This matter will prob ably come up for action in the near future when the New Britain commit tee gets in touch with the local body.

 Dear Friend:
 You will recall that year ago the Berlin church adopted a new plan for it's financial operations. In place of the old system of rented pews with additional pledges, the plan of a house-to- house canvass of the com munity for a single pledge in support of the entire work of the church was undertaken with very happy results. More people than ever before in our history were interested in. church af- fairs, the news of the church became free to all, the budget for home ex- penses was met and an appreciable gain was made in the support of our benevolent organizations.
 These notable gains were, realized because of the loyal and generous CO., operation of the entire congregation and have been source of great sat isfaction not only to the committees in charge, but to all interested in the progress of the church in Berlin. We believe the successful venture of last year makes clear the real value of the present system and guarantees for the future an adequate support of the activities of the church by all the people.
 The near, approach of the end of the calendar year brings to us the duty and privilege of asking you for the renewal of your pledge for this, great work. The budget for the yeAr 1923 calls for the following expendi- ! lures: Salary of minister. and sup plies, s2,b60; music, $500; sexton, s230; lights, s60: repairs, $4o0; fuel, $500: insurance. $2S0; annuity fund, | s57; incidental expenses, SIP; sacra- nnent. s24. A total for home ex- l penses of $4,453. In addition to this i we hope to receive s1,50o for mis- sionary work at home and abroad, , making the sum or our expectations , for the year. $5.953.
 In recommending the above budget we are aware that it calls for an ad- l vance over last year due to the in- creased askings for missions and the items ..repairsD and Insurance" but r we believe it is within our possibil- | ities and simply ask that each one do his part joyously as he is able. The canvass will begin on Sunday, December 10, and we hope that all will join in this common effort to do our masters service. Our ideal is "Ail the people for all the work Of the church." Let us realize 1t m 1923.

Carelessness

Fires Last Year
Every time the minute han,

Every time the minute hand

least one more fire has broken out
somewhere in the United States.
There are LAO minutes in each
day, and an average of 1900 fires &C.

one every minute
The loss from these fires averages
$2.10 for every American man, woman

caused by carelessness, burn up wealth
amounting to more than the combined
value of all the gold, silver and copper

WASHINGTON

Now comes Rodolph Valentino Par
amount star, to take exceptions to the
criticism Of American men by Count
ess Nadia Ostrovska, who recently
was quoted in a Los Angeles news
paper.
II am foreigner myself" declares
Valentino. May / not then take the
position Of questioning another foreign
er's unjust criticism Of American
men?
First Of all, the code of ethics
which learned as part of my educa-
ton, forbids me to accept hospitality
and then criticize the host It seems
unfortunate, to me, that Countess Os-
troYska should have chosen that very
channel as a means of expression on
the occasion of her first appearance
in the pages Of large daily news
paper.
1.-The countess seems to have gained
an erroneous impression of American
men. Perhaps, according to the theory
that the book of impressions will not
be proper, she looked only for the
| improper, and so came in contact with
the wrong people. 1t is a known fact
that one can always find what one
| looks for.
Fortunately, possess some loyal
| friends among both the gentlemen and

be properly fed; must be made up o.
good cows, and must have careful
management.

COW, said the speaker. A common
mistake is to quit feeding cows whei
they are dry, but they should be fec
then just as carefully as any other
time. Besides alfalfa and other rough
age grain diet should be fed to every
producing COW. The ration recon-
mended was of four pounds of corn
! two pounds of barley OF oats, and on
pound of oil meal. The proportion Of
one pound of grain ration to fOul
pounds of milk should be used for Hol
stems and other heavy mixers, bu
may be reduced to one to three fol

SO nonchantly attributes to them
Simply because a young musician,

1T is such statements as those of
