WOULD STRIP RIGHT OF
 MARRIAGE FROM CHURCH
Divorce Rights Also assaiIed in Bull garia Under New Reform
 
Movement.

! Sofia, May 79.-Strong agitation is on foot in Bulgaria for legislation that shall take away from the church the important functions of marriage and divorce. which have been eIclusil ely in its hands since the beginning os the orthodox church. Proponents of the scheme argue that so important a question as the family life Of the peo- ple ought 10 be put under the control of the state, as il has been in Ru- mania.
 There is no civil marriage in Bull Earia. the ceremony can be performed only by the church. Only the church, too can divorce. After a divorce is granted. the civil courts step in and regulate the property questions, but the granting or the refusal of the de- cree is the exclusive function of the ecclesiastical court.
 It is maintained by the advocates Of the change in marriage laws that this arrangement offers grave injustice 10 many persons, as the laws of the church have not developed to meet changing social conditions.
 The church naturally opposes the new movement. taking the ground that the institution Of marriage is. a religious institution, to he governed by the religious authorities.
 Arguments fayoring the change have been appearing in the newspa- pers from time 10 time, hut no politi- cal party have taken up the agitation as yet.

PAYMENT TO L. S.
Poland Announces Intention Of Re-
 ducing Her Debt to America

By The Associated Press.
 Warsaw. May i9.--Premier Ora bski declared today that Poland intended to profit by the present financial inn proyement by attempting to make 8 payment on the debt to the United States, mostly incurred for food re- lief during the first year of Poland's independent existence and now amounting to s15I.o00,ooo plus &C., crued interest. The Polish minister to the United States, NJ. Droblewski. has arrived from Washington for a special conference on the subject of funding the debt.
 The premier expressed conviction that tho Zioty rate would be maintain cd, as the Bank Of Poland can cover st least SO per cent of the money in circulation with gold reserve and sta hle foreign currency. although it is only obliged by law to cover so per cent.
 Local credit difficulties, the premier believed, were not due 10 an made quate amount of money m circulation but rather to temporary disorganiza- ton of the credit machinery and the general postwar desire in all business circles to profit by disproportionate credit facilities.

SHORT WAVE TEST
 CAUGHT IN ENGLAND
Experiment on tO7 Meter Length
 Successful in Schenectady

Schenectady, N. Y, May 12.-Ex- periments conducted from station WGY here, point to the adoption of short wave transmission for extremy 1 long distance communication. ! From A small isolated cabin, es- pecially built. for the purpose, engi- neers of the General Electric Company have been sending out broadcast pro- grams on 107 meters wave length, which have been picked up and re- broadcast on higher wave lengths by eight British stations.
 As high as 10 kiloWatts were used in sending, which meant taking spe- cia precautions against danger to those handling the apparatus. The transmitting station had to be built far from other structures. Persons
 in the hut could not carry meal pencils or watches. and shoes with out nails had to be worn.
 The short wave signals were trans mittcd so clearly that rebroadcasting 5000 miles away was found easy.
 Steps have already been taken to establish the rcbroadcasting system on permanent basis.
 Once every two weeks it is planned to give British listeners the treat of hearing WGY or kDkA at East Pitts burg, Pa. The broadcasting will take place between and : o'clock eastern standard time, which is between II and 12 at night in England.
 The American short wave signals are received at an isolated station about 15 miles from London. They are intensified and sent over line wire to the broadcasting station in London from which they are rebroad- cast on a higher wavelength.

TOMORROW WILL BE
 CIRCUS DAY HERE
Clowns and Elephants, Wild Ami. mals, Parade, Pink Lemonade

While the sun shone bright for all
 New Britain this morning, its rays
 were even brighter than ever for the small boy. His rapture knows no
 bounds. The chill of a late spring
 bothers him not at all, summer is on t5e way, yea, so far as he is con- /cerned, il is here. The world has gone round once more and again that
 brilliant half way point between one Christmas and the next has arrived.
 Yes, tomorrow is the one big day of the summer that stands out even
 brighter than t3e Fourth of July il is circus day.
 Carrying water for the elephants will be the acme of ambition for many future presidents tomorrow morning and pigrimages to the Nibberts lot will be the order of the day.
 It will be the annual visit to New Britain Of the Sells Floto circus and all the gorgeous and elaborate at fractions that go with it will be there. The peanuts, pop corn and pink lemonade will be there also, So will the side shows and tine big con cert immediately after the main performance.
 But to the small boy these mean simply incidentals. Of course no cir GUS would be a real circus without the pink lemonade, but then who ever heard of circus without lions and tigers and monkeys, n eiefunts, n everything"
 They'll all be there. There will be the famous Zobo band. the wild ami maj trainers. the free exhibitions, the Egyptian bands, the spectacular cos tunes, the daring bareback riders, the tlood curding, death defying thrill CTS" the wild west performers, the trapeze performers in pink tights swinging at dizzy heights in the big tent. The trained sea's will be there and the seal band will play.
 The Japanese jugglers and tumblers and dozens of milk white horses will visit "our fair city" There will be dogs and ponies and scores of cages of wild and ferocious man-eating beasts, which can be seen in the big parade, just before noon.
 There will be an Egyptian eNtraNa- ganza with over 1900 people and ani- mals the most dazzling and scintillat- ing spectacle in the world, and there will be that modern goth century won- der, "The Bride and the Beasts" in parade during the grand procession at the opening Of the afternoon and eve ming performance, heralded in ad- vance by the crash of cymbals and the blare of bugles.
 But last and 10 Young America openly, and his more austcre and dig rified parents, secretly, the most im- portant, there will be dozens and doz- ems of funny, side-splitting painted face and comieally eostunied clowns.
 There will be the fat policeman and the skinny clown, the hayseed from the farm and the roughneck from the city. There will be the usual taIky mule. the funny baseball game, the Dutchman and the irishman, the an with the bir feet. and--but l what's the nse, everybody Is going to | see the show sdd have a good time. | It's circus day tomorrow. who cares whether school keeps or not?
 The parade will leave the show grounds at ii o'clock and will go down Elm street 10 Main to East Main to Hartford avenue and back so the grounds.

SANDSTONE HAS
ANOTHER FIRE LOSS
Hanson Sash & Door Fac
tory is Burned to
the Ground.

Sandstone suffered another
fire last week when the Hanson
Sash & Door Factory was burned
to the ground Friday forenoon,
The origin of the fire is thought
to have been from furnace in
the basement where saw dust
was being burned or from cleo
trio wires.
The total loss is in the neigh
borhood of $4,000. it being COW
cred with insurance to the extent
of $500. The factory was well
equipped with machinery.
E. 0. Hanson has had his sash
and door factory there for about
six years and a year ago stocked
up with lumber. doing also re,
tail lumber business. The place
was located right back Of Anns
Falk's millinery store. The Han
son family had their residence in
connection with it which also
went up in smoke.

Gopher Brand is the name

and copyright the design, so that
it will be impossible for any one

much of the crop will be sold by
wire.
Every possible precaution will
be taken to establish Gopher
Brand potatoes as a quality pro.

try. Only the best potatoes de-
livered by members will be al
lowed in these sacks and they
must come up to specifications
which make the grade better
than U. S. No. /.
Two separate designs have
been adopted, one for the pota-

River Valley.

Washington. Sept. l0.-Lately,
it has been noted that political
leaders are more disposed to take

paigns for the Presidency and

is given to the fact that votes de-
pend largely upon the temper of
the public and the welfare of the
country as a whole becomes more
important to the campaigners.
Reports received here. while OBJ
viously at variance, depending on
their source. indicate that plaus-
IDLE promises of legislative re-
lief must be supported by iron
clad guarantees of the respective
parties. The days when voters
had implicit faith in the ability
of their party to perform proper

goods or fall in the elections. 1t
has been observed here that the
era of hand shaking. "baby-kiss-

close contact with their represen-

TWILIGHT, GOLD AND
FOXES IN ALASKA

Following Is an interesting let

he went from Askov last spring.
The letter gives a brief descrip-
ton Of conditions there and what
occupies the time OF the natives.
II reads as follows:
Please put me on your subscrip-

here last spring in the employ of

one hundred and thirty miles
from Cordova, and sixty miles
from Kennecott where the rich

are. Am taking in a large terri
tory but it is a fact. We ship out
about five cars daily of the raw
ore which is sent to Tacoma to 90
through the smelling process.
This part of Alaska never gets
dark during the summer. We
had twilight all summer but it
is starting to get dark now and
from now on we will have plenty
of darkness. The climate here is
not bad although I understand it
gets pretty crimpy in the winter
time. The mountains have been
covered with snow all summer.

rather inferior to the Indians you
see in the states. Most of them
are small. They fish in the sum-

and fox food to be used in the
winter time for the dogs and
foxes. However. when the In
dams get hungry in the winter
time they eat the fish as well as
the dogs and foxes when real
hunger sets in.
There are a number of fox
ranches around here. They raise
