Millerick, a member of the town committee and finance board, was clerk.
 MT. OBrien is a strong and active worker in the democratic party and is we'll known in Plainville. He is a member of the school board and of Brock Barnes post, American Le- zion. MT. O'Brien aided consider ably in the campaign to secure funds for the proposed library building by acting as interlocutor in the two minstrel shows given last spring. He is an executive at the Stanley Works in New Britain.
 He is considered one of the strongest candidates that the demo- crats could put in the representa- tive fight and the party is confident that he will be elected at the polls in November. He plans to conduct an active campaign to secure the office.
 "Old Warhorse" Nominated
 MT. Norton, better known to his many friends as "Dick" Norton, has been a member of the local demo- cratic party since he first became of voting age He holds the distinction of being the oldest native resident of Plainville, being the first child to be born in 1869 after Plainville be- came a town separate from Farm ington.
 He was elected auditor when only 21 years of age and served in that capacity for several years. He was elected as the democratic auditor of the town at the polls last Monday. Mir. Norton has also served on the board of relief and has been on the democratic town and state tickets on numerous occasions. He was chief of the Plainville fire depart

ment for 15 years and is a member of the fire commission at the present time. He is associated with the Eaton feed mills of this town and resides on West Main street. MT. Norton is described as an "old war horse' of the party and expects to put up a great fight in the coming state election.
 The last democratic representative from Plainville was John Wade, who was elected in 1920. After a lapse of ten years the democrats feel that they will again succeed in placing a man in the general assembly. An interesting fact brought out last eve ming was that Connecticut was the first state in the union to go demo- cratic after the Civil war. and it is felt that the state will go demo- cratic this November.
 Names Justices of the Peace the board of selectmen; William J. Cunningham and Axel Johnson, building inspector, were named as the candidates for justices of the peace. They were unopposed. The name of William J. Foran. who has served in the capacity, was also placed before the caucus, but he withdrew, stating that he already held several offices and was not in favor of one man holding too many positions
 Ryder Is Endorsed
 Departing from their custom of naming straight tickets this year without endorsing any republican candidates, the democrats endorsed Judge Ryder, G. o. P. candidate for judge of probate.
 His name was placed before the caucus by Ernest J. Millerick. a member of the town committee. MT. Millerick stated that though the To- cal democrats wished to conform with the policy recently set out by the new chairman of the democratic state central committee, he believed that Judge Ryder should be endorsed this year because 1t is the last year that he will be eligible for nomna- ton. His suggestion received the unanimous support of those present
 Expect Close Fight
 William J. Foran, Ernest J. Mill erick and Edward P. Prior, mem- bers of the town committee, address ed the gathering and stated that they were confident that the party would make a wonderful showing in the state election, even better than that displayed in the annual town election Mir. Millerick stated that there were several hundred inde- pendent voters in town and he be- lieved that they would support the Splendid democratic ticket" All expressed great pleasure over the showing last Monday and urged those present to get out and work hard until the state election. The voters present were urged to give the town committee the names of stay ins' and others who wished transportation on election day. as a large fleet of cars will be pressed into duty to bring out a large vote to the polls.
 Various voters also spoke and offered to do everything in their power to bring about a democratic victory in the state election.

Democrats at Large Caucus Reach Choice Unanimously
W0MEN'S CLUB PLANNED
Party Plans to Organize Feminine VOtes-Kensington Church Holds Annual Reception - Church No- tices-Wells Running Dry.

Following the republican caucus of Thursday night the democrats held theirs last night to furnish com- petition on November 4. at which time the state election will be held. Daniel Malarney, chairman of the democratic town committee. called the meeting to order at s o'clock at the Berlin town hall and George W. Sullivan of Kensington was elected temporary chairman of the meeting, with w. J. Pagan as clerk.
 w. w. Pagan of kensington was elected as the nominee to carry the democratic colors into the election in November. There was very little opposition to this selection. and the democrats seemed well pleased with their choice. George w. Sullivan, Raymond Dyer, John A. Moore, and Robert Pagan were elected as nom- 1nees for justices of the peace.
 There was an unusually large at tendance present at the caucus last night and both rooms of the town hall were filled to capacity. This proved interesting after the large ICPOOllSdll tul IOul VI tilC lllSllI oS fore, and it seemed to indicate that interest in politics was rising in Der lin. While the democratic party, is admittedly weaker here than the re- publican is, it was looked on as a good omen by the democrats that their own caucus went almost unani- mously in favor of their candidate, whereas the vote was rather close between the two republican candi- dates.
 Plan Women's Club
 At the closing of the caucus at f:45 o'clock it was announced that the democratic ladies would give a whist party in the near future to help defray expenses of the caucus. The democratic women's club men, tioned few days ago is still in the air, but it is hoped a meeting will be forthcoming soon with a suitable speaker for the occasion.
 Woman's Aid Supper

ducers' Association to be held
here tomorrow night.
Simon L. Downey, a member
Of the legislature and president
OF the HagerStown local of the
milk producers, informed the COM
missioners that milk farmers Of
the country are facing a crisis
and that immediate action is nee.
essary to save them the loss Of
about $4,000 monthly.
Downey stated that about 80
per cent Of the dairy farmers
want their herds tested in order
to meet the demands of the Phila-
delphia market, which takes the
bulk Of the milk from the county
and demands milk from tested
cows as a result Of a recent rl1l-
ing Of the board Of health Of
that city. After May /, he said all
milk from untested herds will be
banned in Philadelphia.
The delegation was informed
that the board could fino no
authority for making an appro-
priation for this purpose, but the
question would be investigated.

veterinarians to make tubercular
tests. The veterinarians are ap-
pointed by the State board of
health and part OF their salary IS
paid by the counties.

DRUGGIST PICKS REM
FOR HIS OWN COUGH
Explains why he
chooses Il

Mr.. A. Matera, Jr., is a druggist
at 1886 Baxter Ave-, Elmhurst,
N. Y, and has a whole storeful of
various remedies at his disposal.
Therefore it is interesting and
significant that he chooses REM
when he himself has a cough. Mr..
Matera says: "REM is a very
good expectorant, lOosens the
phlegm in the throat, soothes the
tissues, and promptly checks the
coughing" This prompt action
Of REM is partly due to a special
Ingredient not found in ordinary
cough remedies. Though harmless
itself, it helps produce the quick
soothing effect SO noticeable
when REM is swallowed. Then
he adds: ''It's an easy remedy to
give children because they like
to take it, and I've noticed that
It always does all that is claimed

WORK WILL Be
STARTED IN
Z. WEEKS

SILVER SPRING, Md, Feb, 10.
Work of placing street signs at
every intersection in the Silver
pring.Woodside area viii be
started within two weeks. accord
ing to County Commissioner Lacy
Shaw. It is expected the work
will be completed by spring. d,
Due to the large number Of
street improvements in this sec.
ton recently, many Of the old
signs have been removed to make
way for the wider thoroughfares.
Opening Of new streets also has
created many additional intersec-
tionS. @
Many Complaints
This has resulted in a great
deal of complaint, Shaw said, not
only from residents. but frok1
visitors who have been hampered
in finding their way about, par
ticularly at night.
The work will be under the
supervision Of Ward w. Cadding-
ton. clerk to the commissioner,
and the actual placing of the
signs will be done by the county
road maintenance crew, under
Thomas E. Shaw, superintendent.
According to Caddington, the
work will be done Systematically
until all intersections have been
covered. Plans are now being
worked up by Shaw End Cadding-
ton. The work will be arranged
so as not to interfere with the
regular work Of the road main
tenance crew.
Plain Markers
A great deal Of thought has
been given to the type of markers
to be used, Caddington said, and
it has been decided the familiar
square wooden posts, painted
white with black lettering will
be the most satisfactory.
1t is possible ornamental signs
will be adopted later, Caddington
said. However, he pointed out
that while ornamental metal
markers present a neat appear
ance, they likewise loom up as
temptations too strong for youth
full slingshot and rifle marksmen
to resist. This tendency by the
boys to use them as targets can.
not be disregarded in considering
the type Of markers to be used,
Caddington declared.
