Dedication Plans Progressing.

Arrangements are practically complete for the dedication of the new hospital on Sunday. when the $5OO,00O plant will be officially viewed by local people. The work on the grounds and building has been favored by good weather so i that excellent progress has been made, A few details remain but occupancy of the new building will be matter of the near future.
 Block Dance Arranged.
 Plans have been completed by the merchants of the city to hold a block dance on Wednesday night in the parking space at the west end of the Memorial Boulevard near Main street as closing event of the style day program, which has been arranged for October 1. Lighting equipment will be installed and facilities will be added to make the 1 affair a gala occasion.
 Bristol Briefs. Mrs. Wales Henry of Goodwin street is visiting friends in Wash ington, D. C.
 Miss Katherine Farrell has re- sumed her duties in the office of Judge William J. Malone after a two weeks vacation in Canada. Miss Anna Kloss, operator at the , local exchange of theS Southern New England Telephone Co.,, is en- toying two weeks vacation. Two Platoon System Favored.
 Adoption of the two platoon sys- tenn for the fire department is be- ing favorably regarded by the city officials, according to expressions of sentiment today. The fire depart ment's request for the installation of the plan was approved by the fire board last week and submitted to the city council, which has vet to act upon the matter but according to present indications, little doubt seems to be in the way of the pass ing of the proposal.
 The plan will mean the addition of six men to the fire department, allowing a relief for the paid men now on duty. The record of the department to date in the small fire losses which the city has suffered has been subject of commendation from insurance underwriters and this fact alone has caused several members of the council board 10 talk favoraby on the question. This city is now the only one in the state where a fire department of this size is employed, and where the two platoon system is not used.
 Bruce YoEng Resigns.
 Bruce Young, janitor of the Fifth avenue school since its erection sev. cral years ago, has resigned his post, to devote all of his time to his duties as manager of the Walter Slocum store on Broad street.

MAY HAVE TO USE | BALL0T|NG SYSTEM
Eight Candidates for President and Seven Places on Machines
EDWARD |. KELLY SPEAKS
Takes Over Management of Drug Store-Daughter Arrives--Condl- ton Slowly Improyes-Peeper Active Again-Plainville Briefs.

The board of selectmen of Plain vile are in dilemma regarding the method of voting 10 be used at the national election this year. AS the | situation now stands. the voting machines are not large enough to accommodate the number of names of candidates of various parties for the presidency. There are eight candidates for president and only seven available places for their names on the voting machines,
 This may cause the selectmen 10 revert back to the old system Of bal loting and this will delay the re- turns from the election by great margin because of the added work and labor entailed in counting the ballots. First Selectman William Johnson. in speaking of the peculiar situation which has arisen, stated that he was not acquainted with the full particulars of the laws regard ing the placing of the names on the ballot lists and he will have 10 take some time with the other members of the board of selectmen to inves- tigate and find way cut. The last recourse. according to him. is the return to the old system of ballot ing but this will be avoided If there is any possible way of doing so.
 |. The candidates for presidency representing eight different parties, some of which are not known in this section are as follows: Calvin Coolidge, John W. Davis, H. P. Paris. W. z. Foster, Frank T. Johns, Robert M. LaFollette, Gilbert o. Nations and William J. Wallace. The selectmen will decide the issue after a complete study of the situa- tion.

KENS|NGTON FORMS COMMUNITY CLUB Residents Approve Project and
 Appoint Working Committee
 ENTHUSIASM IS GENERAL
kenstngton Gun Club Is Thriving PropOsition--Perknson Garrity Wedding Held This Morning Tree Across Track Delays Trains.

The district of Kensington will have community club. It was SC decided at meeting of interested residents in the Peck Memorial li- brary last night and steps were talk en to organize the club at the earli- est opportunity.
 Those present elected a nominat- ing committee which will bring in the names of officers at the next meeting, October 13. The members of this committee are F. F. Han- ford, Bernard P. Moore, and Thomas Emerson.
 The attendance last night was not large, but what was lacking in size was made up in enthusiasm. Consid- erable discussion about the proposed club took place and the general seil- timent seemed to favor such an or ganization. It has been pointed out that Kensington is the last to fall in line behind Berlin. which organiz- ed Its Worthington Community Cen ter association several years ago, fol- lowed last year by thes organization of the East Berlin Community club, both thriving associations with large memberships.
 The advantages of having a com munity club were pointed out by various residents present. Get-to- gethers so that residents may come to know each other better and plans Tor civic improvement will probably be on the list of activities.
 It Is not expected that anything will be done this year about build ing club house, although 1t Is be- lieved that prospecting for a suitable location for building will be done. The meetings will be held in some convenient hall until 6 meeting house Is constructed.

Mellon Plan Strongly Endorsed.

Secretary of the Treasury Mellon's
definite proposal to reduce Federal
taxes has been approved by represent
ative citizens of Colorado and through
out the country. Some time ago, the
Denver Civic and Commercial Associa-
ton passed resolutions on the sub
ject, since which time other leading
communities in the State have follow
ed suit. Some of these organizations
are as follows: Colorado Springs
Chamber of Commerce, Trinidad Las
Animas County Chamber of Com
nserce, Canon City Chamber of Com
merce, and Pueblo Real Estate Ex-
change. Individuals who have written
to Washington include storekeepers,
mining men, farmers, stockmen, and
those engaged in business generally.
One of those interesting letters re-
ceived by Senator Phipps reads:
Takes assessed against any citizen
are borne in the end, directly and in
indirectly, by all. You can also APP
preciate that there is little encourage
ment for man of means to enter into
large enterprise where if it is sue
cessful, he has to pay out from twenty
five to six per cent in taxes and
where if it is unsuccessful, he must
stand the entire loss and still have
the State, County and Municipal taxes
to contend with.
Another phase of this tax situation
is this: it puts a premium on NUM-
cipal extravaganza by diverting money
which would otherwise be used in
business enterprises, which in turn,
would cause more employment in
this country, into tax exempt securi-
ties.
"Relief is vitality necessary. Taxes
cannot be solely assessed against the
welathy. They must reflect back on
the persons who must rent their
homes, buy their clothing and COM
modities from some wealthy person,

HOW WASTE PAPER INDUSTRY
AIDS FOREST PRESERVATION

Forestry students from the Colo
RADIO Agricultural College recently
visited the Mayer Pulp Mill between
Denver and Brighton. The mill, it
was learned, produces fifty tons of
paper and card board daily, largely
from waste paper obtained by the bale
from junk dealers. In part, however
pulp purchased from pulp mills is
used.
How the junk dealers truck is a
means of forest conservation is told
by a writer in the November number
of American Forestry. 1t is pointed
out that the waste collection industry
claims a rank in the billion dollar
class. "One thing is certain" says
this article, 'ithe paper manufacturers
of the United States pay the waste
paper men the surprising figure OF
$50, 100000 a year, representing about
two millions tons Of waste paper.
Were it not for the utilization OF
waste paper. there would be a deple-
ton of the forests amounting to some
300, 900 acres Of virgin cumberland
every year. This Is whom account Is
taken of the fact that every six tons
of waste paper produces the equiv
alent in pulp OF an acre of virgin tim
berland
The chief branches OF the paper
industry use waste paper-the paper
board and the book paper mills. The
book paper mills are dependent in
large measure for waste paper OF
good grade for their mills. Old mag
azines, books, clippings, etc, are In
demand for the manufacture of paper
for magazines and book publishers
A large amount OF new wood pulp Is
used in the manufacture OF this pa
per but such book paper centers al
the Kalamazoo valley in Michigan are
consumers OF large quantities OF huge
quantities of waste paper.
The paper board industry repre-
SCENTS the largest total tonnage OF an,
branch In the paper industry, with 9
total OF over 100000 tons Of board
manufactured In 1922"

charges that the civil service law was
being violated. When the request was
made, President Wilson refused to
grant the request. He knew what the
racords would show, and he was ento~.
ing into a presidential campaign and
he could not afford as a candidate to
have an exposure of the disgraceful
manipulation of the civil service Of
the United States.
90 The pamphlet of the Demo
cratic national committee, written by
Marion Banister, makes no mention of
the fact that in 1916 the Democrats, In
control of both branches of the Con
gress, passed a resolution suspending
civil service regulations for a period
ing that time appointments could be
made to any government position
without any restriction or limitation.
And during that time the Demo
cratic President, Mr.. Wilson, his
Democratic secretary, Mr.. Tumulty;
his Democratic son-in-law, McAdoo;
Democratic cabinet officers, Demo
cratic bureau heads, Democratic sena-
tors, Democratic representatives.
Democratic national committeeman
and state chairmen, Democratic
county chairmen, and just plain com
mon garden variety Of odds and ends
OF Democratic politicians added not
thousands. but tens of thousands of
Democrats to the public payrolls of
the government These were put in
office without any examination. with
out any inquiry as to their character
or ability. The only thing asked and
required was that the appointee be
Democrat.
After this Wholesale padding of
government payrolls by an army of
Democrats, President Wilson proceed
ed to put them all under civil service
30 that the succeeding Republican ad-
ministration would not be able to So
cure their removal. AS a result, the
epartmeents in Washington today are
literally jammed with Democrats who
are working against the success of the
Republican administration, who are re.
fusing to carry out the policies of
Il
their Republican superior officers,
who are ham-stringing the efforts of
the present administration for econ
omy, who are engaged daily in the job
OF sabitage In connection with the
machinery OF public administration.
No better proof of this can be offer
ed than the last report of the United
| Ctataa Civil SpryIpp cnmr la ainn
which gives the number OF employees
at work in the departments at Wash
ington ID. c., by states. Despite the
fact that since March A. 1921, over
100000 employees have been dropped,
the departments at Washington are
still loaded to the guards" with
Democrats who were put into their
Jobs without civil service examinotian
by the Wilson administration and then
given civil service status and protec.
ton by Wilson's executive order.

the quotas from the Solid South" arc
solidly Democratic the quotas from tho
northern Republican states are by no
means solidly Republican Quite the
contrary! Northern state quotas were
filled by Democrats under the Wilson
administration, and those still in the
majority Of cases Democrats.
This situation in department Jobs at
Washington. under civil service, after
two years OF Republican administer.

charge that the Republicans have tx.

THAT TANGENT PRAYER"

There is, and for years, has been, a
system of "chain letters" evidently
emanating from some sort of dis
orted brain, by which letters generally
termed can Ancient Prayer" are writ
ten and mailed to ten persons, the
missives unsigned, and with a threat
that anyone who fails to comply with
the request will meet with misfort-
une. Many persons, through fear of
such calamity, have been led to copy
the mysterious prayer" and the
mails are consequently flooded with
them. A copy is now in our hands.
1t would seem as if Uncle Sam
should be able to put stop to such
ridiculous and unnecessary proceed
