ing ourselves by helping each other.
The best that Gun be said OF any man
Is this; lie served others that they

THIRD SON FOLLOWS
 FATHER AND BRoTHERs
Theodore Marriott Joins The Cana dian kiIties, After Rejection i,
 America.


 Theodore Marriott, oldest son of MT. and Mrs. Edward Marriott enlist ed recently in the Scottish Kilties and is now in Canada in training. He is in the same company as Walter Platt. another local lad, who enlisted in that branch sf the service. MT. Marriott's father is a staff sergeant in the Am bulance corps of the Canadian army and recently returned to camp after spending a months furlough at his interesting lectures about the war as he has seen it.
 Theodore Marriott's two brothers, Albert and Frederick, are in Uncle Sam's service, Albert being in the na- " on board the U. s. $. Chester. and Frederick in the army stationed at Syracuse, N. Y.
 Theodore endeavored to enlist in Uncle Sam's service but was rejected because of defective vision.
 Action counts more than words" " MT. Marriott was heard to exclaim. while here on furlough, in speaking of patriotism and loyalty to ones coun- try. The father enlisting in the Cana dian army to fight for his native coun- try, brought his spirit of patriotism in to evidence, when he decided to fight. When he enlisted he was AS years of age and could have been exempted if he so wished; but the fighting spirit, which ran in the bloow of his ances- tors. swayed him forward and made him one of England's fighting men. That same spirit of patriotism stirs the blood of his three sons as they have willingly left to go and fight and stand in the front line with the coun- try's defenders.
 This war has broken up their hap py family, as many others have been broken up, and now their remains, at home only Mrs. Edward Marriott and her two youngest children, MargAret IA, and George. 12.

BANQUET IN HONOR
Committee Meets Friday Evening te
 Make Pians.

The first meeting of the committee by Mayor Dunn to provide for a send for the men who are to leave September 20 for Aver vas held at the Bank Street Engine house, Friday evening. Nearly all of the committee were present and plans were drawn up. Wade U. webster was elected clerk A banquet will be served to the mon ening as all of the mon from this sec- tion of the district will have to re- port at the town hal1 at o'clock on that evening for a roE call.
 During the evening it is planned to have several prominent citizens give a few words and there will be music by an orchestra Ono thing that Is hindering the send-on Is the time of schedule says that the men will leave Plainf1eld but the headquarters is at Willfmantic and Clerk Fenton is trying to have the entraining point changed be held and a band will be hired to lead it.
 The following committee were voted and later the men named on the com
 mittees were voted chairmen with power: Food, P. Laramee. Armory arrangements, J. B. Paulhus who is the
 armorer. Finance. B. P. Chesbro. En- tertainment, Wade U. Webster. Recep- tion, F. P. Fenton. Invitations, Mayor Dunn.
 These chairmen will select their as-
 sistants. ( The food vproposition was presenting quite a lit uifiiiculty un- til one of the members of the can teen committee of the Red Cross was
 called on the phone and she said that
 the Red Cross would be very willing to get the food ready. The food will
 probably be bought at wholesale prices, the money to be furnished by
 the finance committee.
 The finance committee claims the
 distinction to have started their work
 the soonest. as MT. Chesbro nailed"
 all of thosI present and secured $41
 of the $100 which it was estimated
 would be needed. It is probable that
 more than this amount will be col
 lected and if there is a surplus. the
 money will go toward the send-off for the next quota. Those who have the
 honor of heading the subscription list are as follows:
