MIR. TIMBERLAKE REMEMBERED
In Will of Late W. Murray Crane
 of Dalton

The will of ex-United States Sena- tor W. Murray Crane, late of Dal- ton, was filed in the probate court last week by Attorney James F. Bacon of Boston, a member of the firm of Butler, Cox & Bacon. The will, which was drawn December 10, 1917, and modified by codicils dated March Is, 1918, and June 8, 1920, contained numerous bequests to public institutions in Dalton, Pitts field and other places in addition to various bequests to individuals.
 The will with the two codicils re- quired 28 typewriter pages. No bond was filed showing the amount of Senator Cranes estate.
 There are specific public bequests of $665,000. Among the personal bequests is that of $2,50O to Rev. Ralph M. Timberlake, formerly of this place.
 Coincident with the death of MT. Crane there was much published speculation regarding the value of his estate. Some of the estimates went as high as $6O,000,00O. The New York World placed total ''be- tween $50,000,000 and $60,000,- 000." A conservative man of affairs, in discussing MT. Cranes wealth re- gently, said that he should think $12,000,000, or possibly $15,000, ,000 would be closer to a correct estimate His Dalton business was immensely profitable as were his gilt-edged in- vestments in various enterprises of standing in the country.

TIERNEYS' BRING SUIT AGAINST CHURCH SOCIETY
The Town of North Canaan
 Also Figures in ..-.- Action

Another chapter has now been opened in the case of James F. Tierney and the Second Ecclesiastical Society of East Canaan. Tuesday morning papers were served on the selectmen of this town and the Ec- clesiastical Society by Deputy Sheriff w. E. Turkington of Lltch- field, for the purpose of determining who really has title to the proper on which the church sheds stood and the triangular park. Service was made on the selectmen elected last year and whose term of office ex- pired Oct. 1. The case is returnable to the superior court the first Tues day in November. Benedict M. Hol- den is attorney for MT. Tierney.
 The reason for the town becom- ing involved in the case, is due to the fact that the selectmen granted the East Canaan Improvement Asso- citation the privilege of improving the triangular piece of ground. The idea of the association was to make of it a memorial park to the soldiers of this town who fought in the World War. Mir. Tierney and his family not only contributed to the funds raised for this purpose but also did their share of the work. ....
 Action of this kind has been ex- pected and it is generally agreed by those familiar with the case, that had such proceedings been instituted in the first place it would have been better for all parties concerned. The court will determine who is the rightful owner and the decision will doubtless influence to some extent the outcome of the two previous the outcome of the criminal cases, now pending in the superior court.

GOVERNOR APPEALS FOR " NEAR EAST RELIEF
State Conference to be Held in Hartford on Novem- .4 Der 9th

eve bespeak the counsel, advice and support of all friends of or phans in Bible Lands" Said Cover nor Marcus H. Holcomb in issuing a call for a conference on conditions in the Near East, to be held in the Hartford Club on Monday, Novem- Der 8. c. V. Mickey, general secre- tary of the Near East Relief Com- mission, who has recently returned from an extended visit to those de- vastated regions, and other speakers of national reputation will present the conditions with which the people of this country are confronted. #
 Governor Hoicomb's appeal follows
 'tThe war is not over in the Near East. Throughout that desolate land, countless thousands wander homeless. By means of the contri- buttons of the American people, the Near East Relief has been keeping a table twenty-four miles long supplied with food for orphans in Armenia, Persia, Palestine, and Mesopotamin, Political conditions are such that we must not only continue to feed and ciothe these children, but must also provide for others. The table must be heightened. Thousands are still starving.
 "In order that the American reo- pie who have contributed so gener- ously may realize what has already been accomplished in the Near East, and how much depends upon relief work being continued, and, also for the inspiration, information, and training of chairmen and Near East Relief workers, I am calling a state conference to be held at the Hart ford Club, Monday, November 8, at 1O:30 o'clock. Luncheon will be served in the conference room at 12:30 noon.
 "The general secretary of the Near East Relief, c. V. Vickrey, re- gently returned from making an ex- tensive survey of conditions in the Near East, will address the gather ing and other speakers of national reputation will also present the sit uation with which we are confront ed. We bespeak the counsel, ad- vice, and support of all friends of orphans in Bible Lands and I desire to personally invite you to attend this conference.
 Cordially yours,
 Marcus H. Holcomb,
 Governor"

To Be Voted on in Coming Election
 Seventh Sought Place

There are six tickets in the field for the national and state election on November 2. The parties repre- scented are republican, democratic, socialist, prohibitionist, sociRlist-la- bor and farmer-labor. The single tax advocates were anxious to put a ticket in the field but their petitions lacked the necessary numbers of signatures. Although there are six tickets, there are only three candi- dates for congressman from this district-James P. Glynn, republi- can, who is endorsed by the prohibi- tionists; Martin L. Caine, democra- tic, and Hugh B. Sanderson, socialist.

The After Years

The early months of marriage bring with them new experience of life, in which there are excitement and change of outlook, wonderful ambi- tions, and new codes and habits for the man and woman.

Honesty.

Honesty Is not the best policy. It isn't any kind of policy. It's a virtue practiced for Its own sake without re- gard for profits. Those who refrain from stealing because thieves end in jail are not honest. They are merely discreet.-Rolrert Quillen in Saturday Evening Post.
