The cellar is four feet underground and the walls are lined with boards. The room is watertight and is covered with earth and the cellar has been wired for elec- tricity, although the boys have not had their meter installed vet. The mushrooms the boys are raising are much in appearance like the poisonous toadstool, but those familiar with the plant can readily distinguish the two. For the benefit of those who do not understand thoroughly the difference between mushrooms and toadstools, the boys have compiled the following information: It is the general belief that all toad- mush- stools are poisonous and all rooms edible, which is not mon mistake. In certain the world, especially in Continental Burope and Eastern Asia, there are species of edible toadstools and poison- ous mushrooms. There thousands of persons live almost entirely on the mushroom. It is gathered daily by the people for their own use and quantities are also exported. The value of the mushroom as an article of food is not generally under- stbod in the United States. The edible mushroom, that is, the cultivated kind, is a cellular plant, having generally a more or less rounded pileus or umbrel- la-like top, supported upon a stalk, which is cylindrical and solid and has rather more than half way up a mem- branous collar called the ring. But there is no membrane or scales found at the base of the stalk, which appears to come directly from the ground. A collar of that description at the base of the stem is one of the distinguishing marks of many poison- ous toadstools. Of the edible mush- room the stalk is almost straight up and down. Mushrooms are never found grow- ing at the base of trees or near fallen logs or any wood. Such are toadgtools and have a hollow stem, The color of the stalk and pileus top of the edible mushroom varies from whitish to a shade of drab, but the color of the gills when first revealed are pinkish, becoming brown, purplish, and finally black, which increases with the age. Such is the only edible cultivated mushroom. The entire number of species of mushrooms and toadstools is over 39.000. An article written by the United States Agricultural department in one of the popular farm journals stated that the best way to decide the dif- ference between a mushroom and a toadstool was to eat it. There is mo positive test for either, as it will be found that mushroom tests will act the same on toadstools under certain conditions. Occasionally there will be exceptions to this rule, according to the amount of moisture. The raising of mushrooms is sim- ple when one starts a bed in_the cor- ner of a coal bin or cellar and lets the mushrooms take their own course, but to raise them to a certain quality, and to reproduce that quality in quantity and then dispose of a fresh crop is not so simple. Took Quartette from Freight. Four men arriving here on a New Haven freight train on Tuesday eve- ning about 6 o'clock were taken in by the police. Officers Smith, Casey and Carroll were waiting for them near the gas works on North Main street as the train drew in and they were placed under arrest and locked up. The men gave these names: John ‘Wadworth, 26, Willimantic; Clifford Charon, 38, Baltic; Everett Pitcher, 50, Chelsea, Mass.; Leonard Wheeler, %5, Sprague. Had Chowder at Niantic.

The superfor court, with Judge Gar- diner Greene' presiding, was engaged here all day Tuesday with a natural- ization session. There were 81 cases on the list and out of these 54 passed their examinations satisfactorily and were duly sworn into citizenship, re- nouncing allegiance to whatever sov- ereigns they had formerly been sub- Ject. Attorney Allen L. Church of Bos- ton, United States naturalization ex- aminer, conducted the examination, asking the applicants questions- cal- culated to show their fitness for cil izenship. They included questions about the color of the flag, who make the laws for state and nation, who the president and who the governor are, and some of the best known facts in United States history. A number of the applicants were told they had better come again after more study. Several of the applicants were ab- sent, two having gone to Greece and one been sent to Russia on a business mission for his employers. The day was a busy one for Clerk George E. Parsons, and Assistant Clerk Hibberd R. Norman, but the business was des- patched expeditiously. They were as- sisted in keeping the records by Miss Ritchie, stenographer in Judge Par- sons’ office.

Final One Held by Circle at the First Baptist Church. Mrs. George W. R‘ul.bnn of Dunham street entertained the Home and For- eign Misslonary circle of the First Baptist church Tuesday afternoon at their June meeting. i Mrs. Willlam Gilchrist, the president, opened the meeting at 3 _o'clock by reading the 103d Psalm.

The programme was unusual in its arrangement and was most interesting. After voting to discontinue the meet- ngs until September, the meeting Closed with prayer by Mrs. Gilchrist. NEW AUTO LAW IS IN EFFECT NOW Machines Must Coms to Full Stop Be- hind Trolley Discharging or Taking Passengers. Some Norwich autoists, who keep the cl st track of the laws regulat- ing their use of machines were calling attention on Tuesday to the fact that the new automobile law which was adopted at the recent session of the legislature went into effect on the first of June. The change in the law, which is probably of the most gen- eral interest, is that regarding the passing of standing trolley cars by automobiles. Before passing a stand- ing trolley car on the side on which passengers are ordinarily received or discharged, an automobile must now be brought to a full stop not less than ten feet in the rear of the car before continuing on past the trolley. This provision is contained in an addition to Section 12 of the old law which reads as follows: “Upon approaching any street rail- way car that has stopped to receive or discharge passengers, the person oper- ating a motor vehicle shall, before passing such car on the side on which passengers are ordinarily received and discharged, bring such motor vehicle to a full stop not less than ten feet from the rear of such car, and may then proceed at a reasonable rate of speed, provided when any street rail- way car is standing at the end of any trolley line, on a switch, or for any purpose other than to receive and let off passengers, a motor vehicle may pass the same without stopping at a rate of speed not to endanger the life or limb of any persons.” It is likely that some little leeway will be allowed before the law is vigorously enforced so that drivers may become acquainted with the law. In view of the incfeased popularity of the jitneys in the larger cities and the extreme danger from them in passing trolley cars, this rule seems a very good one at-this time in par- ticular, Some of the other changes which went into effect Tueesday are provi- sions that no muffler shall be cut out from 9 p. m. to 7 a. m,_and speed of more than 20 miles an hour for one- eighth of a mile shall be considered prima facie evidence of reckless driv- ing instead of more than 20 miles an hour for a quarter of a mile as at present. TOTAL OF 69 DEATHS DUE TO VIOLENCE In State of Connecticut in May—More Than in April.

Strouse Points Out Present Day Lessons of Memorial Day. The First Baptist church had as guests at the Sunday morning eervice the Grand Army men and the Wom- an’s Relief corps. The American flag made effective decoratioms. A special programme of music was rendered by a double quartette the regular choir, Mrs. Louis A. Wheeler, Mrs. Herbert Willey and Messrs. Stephen Peckham and William Case, being assisted by Mrs. Charles Plerce, Mrs. Charles Burke, and Messrs. Har- ry Howard and John Peckham of Pres- ton. The programme opened with organ voluntary, William Douglas; hymn, | Forward to the Battle, double quar- tette; offertory, The Boys Who Wore the Blue, male quartette; Under the Flag, male quartette. The pastor, Rev. George H. Strouse, gave an able sermon, taking for this text: 'This day shall be unto you for a memorial. Ex. 12: 14. He said in part: Men in Blue, we are glad to look .into your faces today. I 2m not a hero worshipper, but a great admirer of heroes. Your presence with us today make us more conscious of the wonlirous significance of Me- morial day. You have seen the far- flung battle line and the bloody battl field. You have fought and suffere many of your comrades spilled their blood. We, not you, need a Memorial day. The battlefleld is indelibly fixed in your memories. But we need the constant reminder of this day with all its sacred assoclations, lest, we forget. As Memorial day rolls around year by vear we love to think of you and do you honor. Memorial day commemorates a great fact in American history. We mnever want to forget it. When we see the soldiers dressed in blue, follow them to the cemeteries and watch them dec- orate the graves of their departed com- rades, and fellowship with them around their campiires, then there comes to us the awful reality of a civil war. The lesson of Memoria] day for us is stop and think. And when we stop and think, we see, first, the triumph of right. God is everlastingly against the man who is on the side of evil. Again, ‘we are reminded that true men form a nation’s greatest asset. This country has been rich in men. When the great crisis came we had men. We had a man in the presiden- tial chair. He was forged in e Ken- tucky log cabin. Any nation on earth ‘would be proud to call him one of their sons. And when he called for men, there were men to respond. You were among the men who stood by him and the cause of right. And you won be- cause you were in the right. Memorial day reminds us of the lofty ideals which characterized the men who fought and died that this land might be saved and slavery might be ‘banished. As we stop and think we naturally compare the past and the present. The climb upward has been a painful one. The pages of history are stained with blood. Are we making any advance? An affirmative answer at the present time may meet with ridicule. One thing is certain. Lofty ideals are cherished by a larger percentage now than ever in the world’s history. We have advanced. But still there is a great sea of greed and injustice and misery which rolls its waves at our very doors. Men with brave hearts are needed to grapple with the mon- sters of sin all about us. Great moral principles must still be worked out through sacrifice and blood. Have faith in God. Be sure you are in the right—then go ahead! QUARREL OVER POTATOES RESULTS IN MURDER. Frank Dunham Shet on Ratlam Moun- tain, Near Barkhamsted. ‘Barkhamsted, Conn., June 1.—Chas. Dunham was shot and killed tonight at the home of Wilbur Perry, on Ratlam mountain, following a quarrel over.the disposition of a quantity of potatoes. Perry, who is alleged to have done the shooting, has disappeared, and the au- thorities are searching for him. Jerry Doolan of New Hartfcrd, a third mem- her of the party In the quarrel, was taken into custody upon orders of Cor- oner Herman and is now locked up in the Winsted jail, being held as a wit- ness. The scene of the tragedy is an iso- lated farmhouse in a wild section of the town, about three miles from the center. According to the story told the authorities by Doolan, the three had ‘been drinking heavily. When Dunham started to take a basket of potatoes from the house, Perry, according to Doolan’s story, threatened to shoot him. Dunham persisted, and the shoot- head, causing instant death.

To Be Lived Through, Life has been good to me, and aa I look back upon it no ome thing Seems more precious than the thought that I have been much trusted with deep things in the lves of other men and women.
