and the work It Is carrying on.
 No Game Tonight
 As no arrangements have been made between the Plainville Y. M. c. A. team and the Hi-Y team of Manchester no game will be played tonight. It Is likely. however, that an agreement will be reached next week whereby the game will prob- ably be played on the Y. NJ. c. A.. court in Hartford next Saturday night.
 Much interest has been shown in the series which is being played be- tween the two teams. The Plain- Vile team has the championship of the Pennington Valley league and the Manchester team Is the cham pion Of the Connecticut Valley league. The first game on the local court resulted in a victory for the Plalnvile team and the second was victory for the Manchester team so 1t will bc necessary to play a third hHHiV NO utIlut lIlt WlnntT.
 Probing Break
 There have as yet been no de- vclopments in the attempted rob- bery of the White Oak Crushed Stone Co. Thursday night. Deputy Sheriff Furrey received a report Thursday morning about G:45 o'clock that an attempt had. been made 10 break into the safe in the quarry office. He detailed Officer Andrew Hogan on the case and he in turn notified the state police who sent State Policeman John Palmer to investigate. It Is thought that the attempted break was the work of boys who were presumably intent on securing some spending money. A hammer and a cbisel were used in an attempt to burrow through the combination. Up to the present time there have been no arrests and as far as known there are no persons under suspicion.
 Schools Close
 The Plainville schools have closed for the annual Easter vacation. The minds of the students have turned away from the worries of studies to the joys of weeks layoff. Many Of the teachers, residing in other towns and cities, have returned home 10 spend the vacation with relatives and friends. Miss Ruth Jacobs has returned to her home in Newcastle. Maine: Mrs. Caroline Trask has re- turned to her home in Glastonbury; Mrs. Madeline Feury, Miss Margaret Feury and Miss Helen Somers have returned to Portland. Maine. Many others have also left the town be- hind them to spend their vacations elsewhere and the problem os school has vanished from their minds and those of the school children not to return until the resuming of the sessions on Tuesday morning, April 14.

LIBRARY FUND BENEFITS,
Attempted Robbery At White Oak Quarry-Schools Close For Easter Vacation - Legion Membership Drive Opens Monday.

The Easter bazaar of the Plainvile Woman's club, for the benefit of the building fund of the public library, came to a close last evening with an attendance which surpassed that of the night befofe. Although the ex- act amount of the proceeds of the affair is not available at the present time 1t has been conservatively es- timated that about $500 will be turned into the library building fund.
 Practically everything was dis posed of last evening. Members of the committee expressed themselves as determined that everything would be sold before the end of the bazaar and there is no doubt that they were right. Last evening the main fea- ture was dancing, A considerable amount of home made candy and ice cream was sold and the fancy table, the white elephant table and the grab garden were quite empty at the close.
 The 17-piece flet luncheon set was awarded to Mrs. Ralph Hinchman of New York city, the knitted bead bag was awarded to Mrs. James Murphy of Plainyille, the embroid- cred bedspread was awarded to Mrs. II. Blodgett of Hartford, and the dressed doll went to Miss Louise Brastow, daughter of Mir. and Mrs. Louis Brastow.
 The committee in charge worked very diligently making preparations for the affair and much credit is due them for it. Mrs. F. T. Wheeler was general chairman, and the other members were Mrs. J. II. TrumbulI, Mrs. Charles R. Clark, Mrs. Edward Brastow and Mrs. Edwin Hills.
 The committee together with the other members of the Plainville Woman's club, are very much pleased with the results Of their work and wish to express their ap- preciation and thanks to the towns people for their support. From the results it is evident that there Is great deal of interest in the library

PICTURE DISPLAY
 PAINTED ON WALLS Colonial Decorations Found at Home Of E. H. Clark on Pike RELIC OF THE EARLY DAYS
Interest shown in Formation of League of Women Voters Branch
 Tabs Planning 25th Anniversary

Hidden for years under many layers of wall paper in the old Clark house on the turnpike, and finally brought to light this week by F.. H. Clark, the present owner of the house, a remnant of the art of some early Colonial decorator has been discovered. It is a sample of the hand painted walls, once fashionable, but now rarely seen and then only in old houses like the Clark homestead.
 Of course. modern buildings con- tain highly decorated walls and in some of them there are samples of elaborate stencil work, but very seldom is this seen in private dwellings.
 The paintings, many of them were hidden under nine layers of wall paper. MT. Clark decided last week to repaper the parlor of his home and started to take the paper from the wall. He made the dis covery and was amazed to find such excellent workmanship displayed, both in the subjects of the pictures and in the coorings, which, hidden from the light for so many years, have not faded. Some other house. holder who Is now ashes, no doubt, decided that the paintings had gone out of style and had the wall paper cd, probably back when wall papers were beginning to make their ap- pearance.
 This display consists of a large picture on the north wall and sev- eral designs on the other walls, among the subjects dealt with being several species of birds and severai kinds of flowers. The big picture, which attracts the interest of one immediately upon his entrance to the room, shows 8 woodland scens. In the foreground are seteral COWS and sheep resting in the shade of Il large tree. In the middle distance an be seen two hunters, one on the
 ight side of the picture and the "ther on the left. They are dressed n the old Colonial costumes, with
 nee brooches and cooked hats. hey carry muskets. To the right
 nd tethered to a sapling are two .turdy appearing horses, while to the left. in hot pursuit of fox which can be seen making it's way ,u mouths open and tongues hanging. Tn the background over the brow of a hill and through a rift in the trees can be seen the sun and also on the brow of the hill can be seen an old fashioned house. with smoke curling lazily from the chimney.
 The picture is highly colored, but some owner of the house was not 100 careful when papering the wall md there are several places where he clustering has been torn loose, though these spots are not large. Around the picture is painted an oval fraRe and the painting is sus- nonded from two painted nails, by a painted chain. [
 The other walls of the room are no less interesting. Robins, hum ming birds, parrots, swallows and cardinal birds are seen wfnging their way to fragments of branches, also painted in by the long gone {, artist. Morning glories, peoples and -Nses are seen, all of them in full

 May Play Here
 The rubber game in series be- tween Elmwood and Southington quintets of the Pennington Valley league may be played in this city, according to adTices re- ceived by local followers of the sport.

South- ington tied Elmwood by it's win over the Company l. five of this city on Thursday night when the local guardsmen lost out by score of 36 to 26. The locals seemed to have lost much of the speed dis played earlier in the season, allow ing, the Southington players to romp home easily with a victory. The locals secured fourth place ill he league race, after threatening or time to secure first derision lonors.
