 Heartbroken because her son Earl w., had violated his promise not to wed until he was thirty years old, Mrs. Edgbert M. Healey of Red Stone Hill drank a quantity of laudanum yesterday at her home, apparently with suicidal intent, and few minutes later seemingly regretting her rash act, telephoned to neighbors to tell that she was about to die from poisoning. Physicians hastily called. administered antidotes and got the poison out of her system before it had made much progress in It's deadly work.
 Announcement was made 8 few days ago of the marriage of Mrs. Healey's son to Miss Dorothy Marion Hayes of Winsted which took place at the South church parsonage in New Britain on April 14.i When Mrs. Healey learned of the wedding, it is said, she became considerable wrought up and she has since appeared greatly depressed. She Is said to have ob- tected to her sons marrying at least until he became thirty years of age and she claimed to have secured his promise to remain . bachelor while in his twentiea His succumbing to the darts of Cupid during the for bidden time is said to have affected his mother to such an extent that she contemplated suicide.

 Prior Bound Over.
 Convinced that his only hope of cure from the liquor habit lies In . vacation at the state farm for in- ebriates, Justice A. H. Condell yester- day afternoon bound over to the su- perior court Charles Prior. brought before him as common drunkard. Justice Condell believes that Prior should be committed to the state in- stitution and as the local court can not take jurisdiction to that extent he turned the case over to g. higher trt- lbunal. Prior was taken to jail after the hearing to await trial before the June term of the supreme court.
 The young man Is physical wreck as the result of excessive use of liquor. His relatives think that leniency fre- quently shown him by the court has not had the desired effect and they recommended that he be sent to the state farm. Prior Is well educated and capable young man and when not saturated with alcohol is g. good ctti' zen. Drink Is his only enemy and the authorities are hopeful that . term at the state farm will be of benefit to him.

SWEET POTATO
AND PEANUT
PLANTING TIME

It is not too late to plant potato
draws, according to Farm Demon
stration Agent c. A. Fulford, who
stated yesterday that some farmers
throughout the county were under
the impression that no further
planting could be done this season.
As a matter Of fact, said Mr.. Fulfrod,
there is ample time to do this plant
ing, and they are urged to begin work
Immediately. The rains yesterday
and the night before gill assist ma
terially in making a good potato crop,
and the crops generally benefited.
"Nor is it too late to plant pea
nuts" continued Mr. FuIford, land,
while good prices are being offered,
and profit assured, more should be
planted. If anyone has difficulty in
obtaining seed, l will assist them in
buying, for the work should be started
at once.
As for the corn crop, Mr.. Fulford
states that it is excellent, and unless
some storm or other fatality occurs
the crop is already made.

Of this great Republic and requisite

institutions based upon freedom, jus

graces so much coveted and deserved
today.
The democracy of this noble order
whose membership recognizes no CON
ditions Of caste, wealth, religion or
politics, for here we find the Jew,
Gentle, Catholic and Protestant on
common level with equal privileges
and affiliating with the greatest
freedom of political and religious
views, extending one to another mu-
tual tolerance and wholesome re
spect. 1t is otherwise similar and
typical of the great democracy repre-
sented i'm the government of the
United States and that kind of a de
mocracy for which it has entered up
on this universal war to establish in
the wide world and such a democracy
we would see, and confidently hope
will be ultimately erected upon the
cTumbling dynasties of Europe. The
Elks affirm their faith in our nation

and equal and endowed with the in

Ike a great democracy this noble or

opportunity to achieve honorable sue

man people but a war against the
autocratic methods and theories, that
converted human beings into Great
ures of a human machine which sub
jects their bodies, minds and souls
to the dictates of an autocracv which
claims to direct by divine right. To
squelch this Infamous propaganda,
our country has spoken, we have
answered the call, we are conscious
that our cause is righteous and brave
men will carry that flag to victory on
foreign soil. Worthy sons of a noble
ancestry surely no honor could be
greater Our soldiers will go down
to battle with the example of their
fathers patriotism and the memory
of their fathers courage on many
battlefelds With an honored an
cestry whose glorious record of heroic
sacrifice followed by such a magnifi-
cent achievement as the American

Americans. Certainly no tribute to
patriotism could furnish a higher in

fight the greatest war ever waged
for human liberty, and a lasting
peace for the world must and will re-
suit. All the best influences past and
present that could animate the human
heart inspires the armies that will
bear our Sar Spangled Banner across
the seas.
1t goes to France to repay the just
debt we owe for the signal and pa
triotic services of Lafayette and his
noble band of comrades, who at the
risk of their lives and fortunes,
fought and delivered the American
colonies when independence was wav-
ering in the balance.
Our soldier bows will go forth to
avenge the mothers Of Belgium and
to restore their captive sons; to pun
ish the murder of innocent children
of London. Moreover, it will be their
opportunity to wave that banner from
the pyramids of Egypt and before
they return to teach RELIGIOUS toler-
ance to the Sultan or Turkey. and
more than all they will have the con-
vlction of fighting the greatest war
IN all history and upon whose destiny
hangs the fate OF America and the
continuance of Anglo-Saxon civiliza-
ton. If our soldier boys look ask
ance today on the thinning ranks of
the veterans of 81 they can but ap-
preciate the honor and esteem in
which these veterans and their COM
rades both North and South, have
been held in the past half century.
Some volunteered for their country's
defense some were drafted similar to
the selective draft of last week, but
all as brave soldiers of the Republic
did their part and have enjoyed tha
plaudits, the honors and rewards of a
grateful people. The eligibles for
duty must respond as never before
to their country's call. Such Re.

queathed by our fa3ers- Then it is
most fitting and appropriate that this
great order of Elks should thus lead
in the celebration of flag day which
has been set apart to arouse the peo-
pie of this country to greater en-
thusiasm and to stir the youth of this
land with the fire of patriotism. All
over this land Elks are doing their
part nobly in the effort to kindle the
fires of '76; everywhere they would
remind the youth that Providence has
cast their lot under the greatest gov
eminent ever instituted for man. A
Republic which has achieved in two
centuries more for the human race
than any other nation on earth. No
other government has done so much
to secure the blessings of equality
privilege and opportunity to every
man, woman and child within its do
mains. Every tongue, race color or
nationality born or naturalized is
vouchsafed the protecting aegis of
the American flag. But my friends
we must be told that all these things
are Swallowed by the menace Of a re-
morseless Prussianism that knows no
bounds to its mad and Infatuated zeal
for power and conquest and determi-
nation to subjugate other haJ9y
