He suffered a broken left leg and nu- merons abrasions of the bedy. The father, whose charge of buck- ahot almed at wild ducks on a pond in the vienity of his home late Fri- day night resulted in the fatal in- Juriés to his child, left the house sud- denly S8unday morning while prepara- @one were being made for the funeral of the lfttle victim. His family knew nothing of the sulcide attempt until they heard his groans. Stands Up in Coaster, Is Killed During Fall Revere, Mass, Aug. 18.—An uni- dentified man who stood up In a car om a roller coaster at the beach here last night was flung 80 feet to his death when the car shot around a curve, WOME FROM OONVENTION ‘ Mr. and Mrs. Fred Yarrol, Mr. and | Mrs. Frank Goddard, Mrs. Frances Willlams apd Mrs. Ernest Pierce have returped from the national convention | of tbe Eons of Vetcrans auxiliary, held fa Beston last week. At the conven- tion Mrs, Pierce was elected national patriotic instructress. Pure Food Laws brought about a rev- olution in most foods, But they did not apply to Baker's Extracts, They were pure long before these laws were en- acted. At all good stores.—advt. of touring, They were & happy-go- lucky, good.natured crowd, smiling and waving at the people who stopped along their route to watch the pro- cession go by and entering willingly | into conversation with curiously-mind- ed New Britainites, The majority of them were farmers, but nearly every occupation was represented. The orange license plates of the state of Michigan were displayed on the great. est number of cars, but there were also Grangers from Ohlo, Pennsyl. New Jer- sey, and other one car coming all the way from Fresno, California. All told there were about 200 auto- mobiles of every description in the caravan, some pulling trailers, all piled with tenting and baggage arranged in way showing all grades of ingenuity. The visitors arrived about 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon and were met at the New Britain-Plainville town line by Mayor Paonessa, delegations from the local civic clubs, and other citl- zens in automobies, and were con- ducted to Walnut Hill park, where a veritable eity of tents was erected, the scene having a carnival aspect and re. minding local people of those more famous tourists, the Gypsies. The tents wdle even more varied than the automobiles, being of all shapes and sizes and having greatly differing con- tents. Mugh interest was displayed in the headquarters car of J. H. Brown, the manager of the tour. This was a specially built “Pullman” with sides which let down and containitg all the comforts of home from beds to kitchen sink. A flagpoe was fastened to the front bumper and screwed into the ground. Everything which could be done to make the visitors feel at home was done. Water piping was laid through the camping space, with faucets at every few yards. Gasoline was avail- able from two trucks. Free lemonade, furnished by the Eddy-Glover post, American Jegfon, conld be had for the asking at a specially erected stand, ~ A sheep-roast made the biggest hit with the Grangers. Soon atfer the line of cars arrived at the park, the visitors were served with roast lamb, sweet corn, potatoes, pickles, apples and blueberry pie, and milk, That this had been prepared for them seemed satisfactory to the Grangers, but when they tried to pay for the meal, as most of them did, they were amazed that the big feed was free. Plerce and Norton, of kake Com. pounce, did the roasting, the milk was furnished by the Connecticut Milk Producers’ assoclation, and after-din- ner cigars were provided by J. W. Al- sop of the Connecticut Tobacco Grow- ers' association.” Although the guests dug into the meal voraciously, there was still much left after they, had finished, and this surplus was given to the New Britain boys and girls who had hung around watching pro- ceedings with envy. The program of specakers began shortly after 4 o'clock in the after- noon. Allen B, Cook, state master of the Connecticut Grange, opened the exercises by extending the westerners a hearty welcome to Connectictit, aft- er which he introduced Joseph R. Andrews, secretary of the local Cham- ber of Commerce, who welcomed the visitors to New Britain and extend- ed to them an invitation to return. Mayor Angelo M. Paonessa officlal- ly welcomed the city's guests and sald that New Britaln was at their serv- ice while they remained here, He traced the history of the city, recall- Ing the fact that the first articles manufactured here were sleigh bells and telling of the part played by this city in the various wars from the year of 1812 throughout the last one. He made reference to the Court of Honor |in park entrance and to the proposed | permanent one at the top of the hill. The mayor spoke as follows: | "It {s seldom indeecd, that the op- | portunity is given to a municipality | to extend its hospitality to so dis- | tinguished and representative a body of American citizens, as the members of the National Grangs Tour of 1924, and on hehalf of the people of New Britain, it is my privilege as the chief executive of the commumity, te bid you welcome, . “You peopls whe make this long pilgrimage to the spot where the fore- fathers of our nation first set foot on American ail, have conferred upon the t‘hey'l'e especiauv | City of New Britain, an unprecedented . l | honor. 1t is a privilege for which we delightfu are always “good taste” but e in Hot Weather are deely grateful and it is a pleas- ure to invite you within the portals of our city | “You have arrived here on the Sabbath—the day of rest and we trust you will find comfort and quiet here | within the confines of this beautiful park which has been thrown wide open to you. Had your caravan | reached New Britain on a day other than Sunday, you would have seen far off in the distance, the smoke rising ! from the huge chimneys of the city's | vast industrial plants,—concerns that | enjoy enviable reputations throughout the universe for distinctive products. | There is of course, no need ic inform | ¥ou that you are encamped within the theve™s nothing more Refreshing and small factories; and although the raliroad had been bullt two miles to the east, pride in the village was sufticlent to aintain its location, Since then, the progre as been with leaps and bounds until today, New Britain enjoys the distinction of being one of the most thriving Industrial municipalities in the world. “I have recited for you, a brief his- tory of our city. This short story does not in any sense of the word, outline its tremendous influence in the manufacture of hardware pro- ducts of the world, nor does it de- scribe its amazing record of achieve- ments during the great World war. It does mot tell of the heroic sac- rifices that were made by our New Britain boys on the fleld of battle while their mothers, their sisters and their gweethearts left their homes and entered the factories to produce varlous utensils of war—thousands of which were manufactured in this city. “Below here, flanking the sides of the main entrance to this park, you who are visitors here, will gaze on a silent but a beautiful tribute which New Britain has temporarily erected in honer of its war dead. It does not need my humble testimony to say that they have not died in vain, and that thelr memory will live forever. This Court of Honor, as we know it, contains 120 individual posts and upon each one in inscribed the namgs of our honored dead. We want you to see this temporary memorial be- eause it 1s an evidence of our faith in these fallen heroes and in the cause they defended, because it is our purpose to erect high on the summit of this park—yonder-——a more beauti- ful memorial—one that will stand out eternally, “We in New Britain are proud of our city. We respect its fair name and we glory in its progressive activity. The fact that the New Britain Clramber of Commerce has been instrumental in bringing your entourage here is an indication of our city’s effort to distinguish it from others. “TI belleve I have spoken too long. But it has been a pleasure to wel- come you and our only regret is that your stay must of necessity he a short ene. New Britain will always be glad to see all of you: Wae sin- cerely hope your stay hers will be pleasant and wien you leave— God speed you on your journey.” Harry Clayton, state master of the Ohio Grange, spoke of the banefits brought to the farmers hy the Grange, which had provided a soclal life for men and women who would otherwise have been cut off from in- tercourse with each other. He said that the Grange tours were a means of bringing people in distant parts ot the country into closer touch with each other and complimented New Britain upon providing the best re- ception in the history of Grange tours, George B. Chandler pald return |compliments to the tourists and to Michigan in particular, winning his | way into the good will of the visitors by mentloning many places in that state and paying tribute to the fine roads in that section. He said that the tours were a fine means of eliml- nating seltional jealousy. Rev. J. Edward Hoyt of New Canaan, state chaplain of the Grange, taking as his text: “Where there is no vision the people perish.” (Prov. 29, 18), sald that 1f vision were taken away only selfishness and money- grabbing would be left, claiming that the key to happiness and true success lay in three words, “faith, hope, and love.” The rain, which had begun to fall during Mr, Chandler's address, had by now increased to such an extent that the remaining speakers were eliminated from the program and the meeting closed with the singing of “Onward, Christian Soldiers,” by the | crowd, led by B. F. Armstrong, with | Mrs. Herbert Blake at the plano. A microphone and amplifiers al- |lowed the assembled Grangers and local peopla to hear plainly all the addresses, this being the first use of | thess instruments in this ecity. A { band concert was given by the Ameri- | can Legion band at 8 o'clock. | A comprehensive tour of New | Britain this morning was conducted | by Joseph R. Andrews, with Motor- eycle Officers Strolls and Hayes and state policemen from Cennecticut and | Michigan as an escort, The route was so mapped out that |1t would ecover all the points of in- terest with the minimum of danger and delay. Every quarter of the city was visited, but the route took [ the earavan through the center of the city only once and there was only one raiiroad crossing to he negotiated, | At the conclusion of this inspection {of our famed factories, the Grangers left for Hartford on their way to Springficld, where they will spend to- | night and then go on to Plymouth Rock, their goal. :The return trip itn Battle Creek, Mich, will be made | through Canada. As the procession passed through the Court of Honor |on its way out of the park, motion pietures were taken of it. The only trouble, and that did not ccur here, came in Waterbury when arvey @0Wbaugh, a tourist from Mra, €, A, Bence and Miss Mildred Holcomb will spend the next two weeks at Seaside Heights, New Jer. 8oy, Mr, and Mra, Glerymski of 8 Gris- wold street, have returned from their vacation at Sound View, John T, Crosby of 584 Stanley street has returned from New York, where he has been spending a few days, Beatrice Poterson of FEast stroet has returned from her vacation, which ehe spent at Indian Neek, Mr. and Mrs. A, Sonners of 244 Whiting street and Willlam Schusler of 27 Kelsey street left Saturday on a motor trip to Montreal, Canada, by way of the Mohawk Trall. be gone for one week.
