TURTLE I8 AT LEAST FIFTY-THREE YEARS OLD That a mere turtle has a long life was evidenced by the discovery of a large tur- tle by Chester A. Wright of Fairmount street on Sunday while visiting at the Daniel Wright rm in North Stoning- ton. Mr. Wright in his travels abomt the farm came upon a large turtle which he capturad. Upon examining his catch he found carved on the shell the following: “A. T. C. 1867, D. B. F. 4.” From this it follows that the turtle had been captur- ed 53 years ago and who ever A. T. C. was, had carved the year on the shell These turtles are known to have lived fo rover 160 years so this one is still in its childhood.

Brown: band selection, National Emblem March; solo, America, Brother A. Craig Taylor, assisted by Tubbs band. Mr. Brown said in his address: The flag is no mere piece of bunting; it is a svmbol of liberty and justice and a guar- antee of protection to those who live in the land over which it waves. tI stands for that principle that men fought for in the Revolution, in 1812, in 1861, in 1898, and again in the war just ended. That principle is liberty. This prineiple makes it more than a mere piece of bunting. Mr. Brown also referred to the way the citizens supported the principles of the flag during the recent wars, but {said that now the reactionary period, a period of unrest, had set in, the people were losing sight of these principles. We as Americans should apply the same principles reganding the flag as did our forefathers. The flag calls for co-op- eration of all its citizens, regardless of their station in life. The flag belongs to al of us and what it does for one, it does for all It is your flag and it Is mine. The exercises closed With the singing of America, led by A. Craig Taylor.

Belle- rose, set out to wipe out the whole debt euqalled zeal an® have worked untiringly until they raised their quota -and now, like ‘all true soldiers of Christ, have un- dertaken to do more. The meeting on Sunday night was one of great enthu- siasm _and spirit there being Iinspiring and elogquent addresses by Rev. William A. Keefe aof Greeneville, Rev. J. N. Bis- sonette of Springfied and Rev. F. R. C. DesSurreault OQbcum. All the operated with the pastor in the task and congratulated them on their achiev- ment. Rev. U. O.

The largest centribution of the even- Ing was one of $500 from Byron Han- lon, for many years a member of the church. A meeting was held on Saturday ev- ening at which time F. B. Rickettson, agent of the Ponemah Company made a stirring and eloquent address to the members of the teams and the parishion- ers. The drive will be continued today (Monday) in an effort to reach the new goal of $58.000 by night and if the co- operation of the members is as great as it has been in the past few days the result will be gratifying to the pastor. The charch bell will toll tonight indi- cating the number of thousands collected. The following are the members of the Sacred Heart church who have aided the church in the drive: Teams: Team 1—J. C.

No other class of men is coming into the coal fields to take their places. Shortage of empty coal cars is another difficulty at the present time, cutting down the ship- ping facilities from the mines, even if they have men enough to keep up their production. Mr. Slosberg visited particularly the territory of the “Old Company’s” - coal mines, as he is a dealer in their coal. One of the more than usually interesting processes that he saw there was the briquetting plant, which has the reputa- tion of being the best equipped plant of its kind in the world, costing well over half a million dollars. The briquetting presses turn out 30 tons an hour each, requiring 150 horsepower to prive, and exerting between the two rolls a pressure of almost 1,000,000 pounds. The asphalt which is used for binder for the coal is especially ciean and pure and is imported direct from Mexico. It is handled in very large quantities in tank car lots. As a whole ti; plant impresses a visitor by its greatness and by its en- gineering skill and boldness, and is some- thing to attract the attention of all pro- gressive coal dealers and the public.

STOMACH WORM CAUSES TROUBLE IN SHEEP FLOCKS The stomach worm is the most serious parasite which infests shee in Comhac- ticut. County Agent H. F. Johnson is urging farmers to start at once to drench their flocks to remove as far as possible the cause before the effect be- comes apaprent. A solution of 2 ounces copper sulphate’ or bluestone dissolved in four quarter of water is used for the drench. Most shee require 3 1-2 fluid ounces, lamps 1 1-2 fluid ounces. It is very necessary- to starv the shee 24 hours befere drench- ing and not to give an yfood or water for four or five hours before drenching The worm usually appears in July and August. R: E. Bigg, sheep specialist at Storrs states that he will be very glad to demonstrate to any sheep breeder in this county the method of drenching.

ELWELL New Yeork, June 33.—The theory of suicide was virtually abandomed by the police tonight in the mysterious death of Joseph B. Biwell, wealthy turfman and noted whist authority, who was found in his home last Friday with a bullet wound in his head. Insistence of many of the sportsman’s friends that jealousy may have played an important part in the sup- posed murder stirred the 25 detectives on the case to renewed activity in tracing his women acquaintances and men with whom he played bridge for high stakes. A thorough search of the house failed to produce the slightest clue, not even a fingerprint, Police Captain Walsh said. Assistant District _Attorney John E. Joyce today belittled the refort ~that women friends of the dead man had keys to his home. He said the statement, orig- inally attributed to Elwell's chauffeur, was absurd, as there wer eonly two keys, one held by the housekeeper and the other by Mr. Elwell. Several additional persons who knew the whist expert were questioned at the Elwell home today, among them Countess S. De Szinawska and her sister, Mrs. L. Hardy. Neither would discuss the case. According to Assistant District Attor- ney Joyce, the sisters, who were born in Poland, met the turfman in Carlsbad, Bohemia, early in the war, while at the watering place with members of their family. The two women left Carlsbad in September, 1914, and came to New York, where they have lived since. A short time later, Mr. Joyce said, Elwell re- turned to America. The countess and her sister admitted, the assistant district attorney stated, that their friendship with Elwell was broken after they heard he had made a remark associating them with German interests. This resulted, Mr. Joyce said, in the de- tention of the countess as an enemy alien two years ago. . Their friendship was never renewed, they said, although Elwell had gone to Washington and had straightened out the affair as far as he was concerned. Both told Mr. Joyce they had not seen Elwell for a year prior ‘to his death.. The countess denied she had ever entered the Elwell home, but the sister admitted she had visited the house on one occasion. Some of the turfman’s friends advanced decorating the graves of 65 knights. Rel- | lérge audience Friday evening] The | the theory that he had been murdered by “a father or a husband.’ to G. C.
