1t is stated that during the Presidential
procession in Boston, somebody was so in
discreet as to call for three cheers for AL
ger, and that the great crowd jeered and
Knocked and cried Beef Perhaps it is
as well that the President should know
what the popular feeling is, since he has
either discredited the newspaper express
sions or assumed that the public was in
different to the war scandals.

FARMERS AND INVESTORS
 TAKE NOTICE!

The best farm in Litchfield County-all things considered-is now offered for sale. The farm is situated at South Canaan, Conn.,, and is known as the Whiting c. Kellogg farm. A few years ago MT. Kellogg (now deceassd) valued the farm at twenty thousand dollars 1920 ,000l and refused cash offer of sixteen thousand dollars (S16 000l for 1t. former tenant sold over two thousand dollars "A ,000) worth of produce a year, besides keeping enough to supply his family. The farm is just as fertile today as it ever was and 1t would not now be offered for sale except to settle an, estate. There is $2, 500 worth of wood on the farm. From 75 to 100 COWS can be kept on the farm. Somebody will be wise enough to grab this farm at the bargain offer of $6, bOO. The following Is description of the farm:
 Adjoining the Congregational church at South Canaan, Conn.,, and within a few rods of school, post office and store, containing 225 acres and divided as follows: 145 acres of rich meadow land, 40 acres of fertile pas ture and 40 acres of good wood land. No rocks, stones or stumps on any of the clear ed land in fact all the cleared land, includ- ing the pasture, except several acres. can be moved with a machine. The wood land is also on a level tract. Two large dwelling houses, large barns, grain building. l horse barn, ice house and other out build ings on the premises. All the buildings are in good repair and the land is in high state of cultivation. Plenty of fruit and shade around the houses. Will sell, if desh ed, the COWS and hay enough to keep them until spring. The Hollenbeck river runs through the farm and there are four wells on the premises, also running water from never failing spring Is brought to one house and one barn. This farm extends within one mile of Falls Village. It can be divided into two or more farms If desired. It would make an ideal stock farm or horse farm by merely laying out race track on any part of the cleared land,

OBITUARY.
A Tribute to the Memory Of Miss Julia
 Ann Daboll.

A Tribute to the Memory Of Miss Julia Ann Daboll. It is fitting that word of affectionate remembrance be added to the notice ol Miss Daboll's death, which the NEWS received last week iu.t as it was about to go to press.
 Born at East Canaan on the 18th of November. 1914, Miss Daboll spent the many years of her life here. and was we'll beloved in the community. She outlived not only her parents, but also a brother and sister and large mum, Der of friends with whom she was asso. ciated.
 Her death occurred on Wednesday forenoon, the 18th inst. at the home oi Dea. George W. Bottum, where for the winter she had taken up her abode and where she was devotedly cared for One of her last wishes was that she might net have long illness and 50 be trouble to any body. On Sunday the 18th she attended church. On Monday morning the wheels of life suddenly slackened until, on the third day, they came to a stand still.
 The burial service took place at the church on the 20th, and was attended by congregation of people who sin. cerely loved aud honored her. Among the floral tributes. which were beauti. ful, was one from the Ladies' Aid So' ciety, of which she was very active member to the last. Her presence and help there will be sadly missed.
 She was, her life-long,a a faithful mem- Der of the church. She was, too, the oldest member of the Sunday school, which she dearly loved. Her place in the pew was seldom vacant. Her part in the worship was never perfun ctory. At the close of the service there were few who did not feel the grasp of her hand. Her quiet way and peaceful spirit pleased everybody. And still, her character was of a sturdy order. Intelligent and iudicious. of modest and refined feeling. patient and meek in her intercourse with others. she was, more over, thoroughly genuine, fairly out spoken and quite self-determined.
 As Christian, she was an humble follower of Jesus, devoted to his church and efficient in his service. Her in- huence will ever abide to bless our community. As we sadly miss her presence, we shall do we'll to emulate her Christian spirit and her godly vlr- tues.
 .Cheer up. my soul Faiths moonbeams
 softly 9listen
 Upon the breast ot Life's most troubled sea :; And 1t will cheer thy dropping heart to listen
 To those brave songs which angles mean
 for thee."

Patriotism Measured .

The following brief editorial in the last issue of the Lakeville Journal is good reading today, and would also be good reading on every Memorial Day:
 If mans love of country can be measured by his position in the army, then the private must be far ahead of the officers. It is not difficult to under stand why 8 man can be patriotic on S15O to $2O0 per month, but when 8 man fights and gives up his home and family for paltry $13.50 per month, then he must be genuine patriot, and yet the private fights harder for his country than does the captain and gets less glory and thanks, and the officers names go down in history ss heroes.

JOE MOREHOUsE WANTS $5O,OOO
Sues Herbert N Curtiss for Alternating g
 His Wife's Affections.


 Joseph J. Morehouse, an iron manu- facturer and mine owner of Ohapinville, has brought shit in the Poughkeepsie. N. Y. court asking $50, 900 damages from Herbert N. Curtiss of New York, agent for the General Electric Co.,, for the alienation of his wife's affections. Counsel for the plaintiff are Lawyers D.. T. Warner, l.. J. Nickerson and A. M. Card The defendant is represented by Lawyers Dempsey and Wilkinson.
 Mrs Morehouse obtained divorce last January in Connecticut. on the ground of cruelty. A counter claim of improper conduct was interposed by Mir Warehouse in that case, and the defend ant in this action was named as cores pondent.
 He married in 1888 Miss Minnie Bur chard O: Danbury. On the witness stand MT Morehouse testified that his married life was happy until 1890, when he went to the office of MT Curtiss, in New York, to order supplies for an electrical plant in Chatham, N. Y. His wife was with him, and he introduced her to Mir Curtiss and the three had lunch together. This was the begin ming of an intimacy which, MT More house says, broke up his household.
 MT Warehouse said that in 1895, while he was on the way home from trip to Hamilton, Canada, accompanied by his wife, she sent telegram to Mir Curtiss to meet them. Upon their ar rival, he alleged, Curtiss said to his wife, "Are you ready?' and the two went out together. leaving him staring at them.
 Miss Bessie Payne, . servant, testified that MT Curtiss kissed Mrs Warehouse in the absence of her husband, and that their conduct toward each other was like that of man and wife. One day they were together in her room, and another time Mrs Morehouse sat partly on Mir SuAeAco inp. mI mOIoIiUuoo Whc nO- sent.
 Katherine Garland of Chapinville tes- tifed that she saw MT Curtiss and Mrs Warehouse kiss each other Mrs Christine Coyle testified that she saw MT Curtiss and Mrs Morehouse together three times in her room.
 Mrs Warehouse testified that all the trouble with her husband was caused by his being addicted to the use of liquor as he became intoxicated nearly every day; that he would abuse her under those conditions and that he wrote her insulting letters.
 On Friday considerable evidence was introduced by the defendant, MT Curtiss denying most of the charges. The case was given to the jury Monday afternoon and at 8 a. m. Tuesday they reported g disagreement and were discharged by Judge Smith. The case will be tried again. The jury stood 8 to 4, the ma iority favoring verdict of no cause for action.

Clark W. Bryan.


 Clark w. Bryan, the we'll knowr author, poet, editor and publisher, com mitted suicide at his home in Spring field, Mass. on Monday forenoon by shooting himself through the head For about year he had been despond ent owing to the death of his wife and to his own ill health. He had recently met with financial reverses. His deatf will be mourned by thousands of per sons, for he was widely known through his writings and publications. The last work of his brain and pen was the composing and writing of the following pathetic verse Hound on 8 table in bis room) which tells us exactly his feel. ings and why he committed suicide:
 Weak and weary. heavy laden,
 Sad and lonely, sick and sore,
 Health and strength both surely failing,
 Life with me had best be OCT.
 Clark w. Bryan was noble and true man, and the world is better by his hay ing lived in it. His presence brought sunshine and inspiration, although his ow. experience was life of toll, self sacrifice, bereavement and reverses. His poems and his books and other writings will continue to be power for good. They will never die although the hand that wrote them is at rest.
 Clark W. Bryan was born in Harpers- field, N. Y. August 12. 1924. Ia 184l he entered the office of the "Catskill Messenger" then published by his brother, William Bryan. He remained there four years. Sometime between 1846 and 1852 he became connected with the publication of the Berkshire Courier. In 1852 he became connected with the Springfield Republican.
