 Edward A Dudley died Sunday morning al out 10 o'clock, at the home of his daughter, Mrs. F. G. Sanford, with whom he has made his home for the past five years. He had a shock about two years ago and since has gradually failed. The following is from the Norwich Bulletin: MT. Dud- ley was Torn in Sutton, Mass, June 27, 1927, the son of Jonathan and Sally Dudley. After his marriage at Sutton in 1849 to Elizabeth Howard of that place, they resided there for time and then moved to Minnesota where they lived for nine years.

 On Thursday afternoon Mrs. Smith, past regent of Ann Wood Elderkin chapter, Willimantic, and Mrs. Ida M.

 Because the services are held in the Sunday school room, very prettily arranged by the ladies as a chapel, Is no reason why there should not be the usual attendance. The renovated church will be all the more appreciat- ed for the change. The sermon on Sunday was excellent, as always. In the. morning the pastor preached at Memorial church as usual, and in the evening to 8 large congregation at the Baptist church, Willimantic, their pastor being at his camp in Canada, Tit is said, giving Pastor Allen busy day. but he enjoys busy days.

LANDED GLASSES IN
ENGLAND ON TRIAL
Expert Says They Must Prove
Justification or Yield
Power.

LONDON. Sept. 3O-Nationaliza-
tion of the land is inevitable in
Great Britain unless the landowners
justify their position.
Lord Bledisloe, a leading authority
on agriculture and during the war
parliamentary secretary of the min
istry Of food, is the person who
makes this prediction.
The history Of agriculture in the
United Kingdom for the last IT years
does not rebound TO the credit of
either the landowners or the states
men, Lord Bledisloe declares.
Landowners who should have
given the lead have failed 10 do
So the lord says. The British
agricultural landowner today is on
his trial.
Unless ne justifes himself as
such. the naturalization of the
land is inevitable. Public opinion
will demand his extinction and par
lament will endorse the demand.
Many landowners have been for
the last two generations mere rent
receivers, and have possessed
neither the knowledge nor the in
| cllnation personally to administer
