aIIed t the Nathaniel Lyon Memorial

called it the Nathaniel Lyon Memorial Park.
 About all that remained of the old New England farmhouse on the high hills of Eastford was the old chimney and the brush covered foundations. Now on the 10th anniversary year of the birth of the general, the old chim- ney has been restored as monument Truly it is monumental structure oc- cupying a third of the ground space of the old building. Built of rough hewn slab of native rock, it contains almost enough material for a house in itself. In restoring the old chimney the park men found it Co contain six separate nues, four of them from fire places and two from old fashioned ovens built into the chimney itself. There were evidently iireplaces on three lower levels. With the splendid work of the original masons and the careful work of the restorers, the chimney monument ought to last an- other century.
 General Lyon was born in ISIS in the old house now long since disappear ed which surrounded this chimney, for the chimney supported the house and not the house the chimney as in mod ern buildings The future general | graduated at West Point in lS4l. Af- ter serving in the Seminole and Mex ! ican wars he won his greatest renown in Missouri during the Civil War where at the Battle of Wilson's Greek he saved Missouri to the Union, but al the cost of his own life.
 Has Custody of Monument In addition to the house site and home grounds the Park Commission has acquired some Z16 acres surround ing it TOT park purposes and has the custody Of the monument to General Lyon in the Phoenixville cemetery, the nearest village to the old Lyon home stead.
 When General Lyon was a boy most of the land in his neighborhood was under cultivation, but poor soil, bad roads and the drift of population to the cities has caused much of 1t Co be | abandoned. and today it is largely brush land. The State Forestry De | partment is buying land in the vicin- | ity for ref0restration and now has over 4.300 ceres in the Natchaug State Forest, mostly surrounding the park This total of over 4,5O0 acres makes an ideal public playground, and is much used by the people of the state most of whom go first to the chimney monument to General Lyon. It can be reached by auto from Phoenixyilie which is on State Route I0i between | Willimantic and Putnam.
 Since the commission has establish ed picnic facilities at the Gen. Lyon birthplace. organizations are using It more and more for this purpose. lt | has recently been announced that the ! Connecticut Division of the Sons of | Union Veterans of the Civil War will meet there Sunday, October IA, and the Connecticut Forest and Park As | s0ciation will visit tt during their field trip to the Natchaug State Forest, Oc- tober goth.

There, after nigh march, his little army comes in contact-August 10, iS6l--at Wilson, Creek. near Spring field, with the Confederate Army From an early morning hour the bat. tie fluctuates on that bitterly contest ed field. the union commander is three times wounded and in leading des- perate charge receives a fatal bullet wound and instantly dies on the field of battle General Lyon was thus one of the significant early leaders in the war whose devotion was sealed by his sacrifice in the dark days before the outcome of the great struggle could be clearly foreseen--one of the rare ex. amples of the loss of the army com. mander in action.
 Deep Sense of Loss
 The sense of loss was deep and keen in the state of Missouri; also in the administration circles at Washington and in the quiet home village in Wind. ham county in his native Connecticut
 Later the body was brought almost half way across the continent that it might finally rest--as he wished in the cemetery of his fathers at East ford. And sixty-seven years ago-al- most to a month--the funeral service was held at the village church a Eastford. and addresses were made by Governor Buckingham; by Hon. Ga lusha A. Grow. then speaker of the national house of representatives and himself a native of Eastford, and by Hon.

no important change in the general
market situation. Receipts of new
rye are increasing but local demand
from mills and industries has been
s efficient to take care of current of
ferings. Some rye was reported sold
for export W tn No. quoted at Sill

selling at the close of the week at
Minneapolis at 92c to 94c and at Chi
cago at 96% to 97A cents.
BARLEY
Barley prices also declined materi-
ally during the week under heavy re-
ceipts and only moderate demand.
Larger crops in Europe have caused
a much less active export demand for
barley this season and while North
America is furnishing the bulk of the
world shipments at present other
countries are competing actively with
United States shippers in European
markets. Export sales OF around 200
thousand bushels of barley were re-
ported in trade channels during the
week and at the close export barley
was quoted at Minneapolis at 621aC
to 64c and at Chicago at 69c to 75c
Feeding grades were quoted at Min
neapolis at 58c to Coo and at Chicago
at 55c to GO cents. Special No. 2 was
quoted at Milwaukee at 65c to 73C

of his action, which was an error.
But even granting that this error
had been made, the accident would
not have occurred if, in addition to
watching for q hand signal, the
driver of the second car had been
keenly watching the back of that
first car. In the event that some
thing unforeseen causes the car in
front to slow up or stop entirely,
there Is no opportunity for the
driver 10 give q signal. He Is as
much in the dark as to his cars
intentions as the man behind.
AT night IN addition to the ac-
tual safety involved for all con-
cerned, watching the tail light of
the car IN front has a distinct adj
vantage. In cross country runs as
well as city traffic it is a veritable
little telegram of conditions. At
a rough spot in the road it trem-

THE CAR AHEAD OF YOU

If there is car ahead of YOU.
never take your eye entirely away
from the back of that car In
DAYTIME. the back wheels and at
night the tail light of the car in
front of you are an absolutely
dependable source of information
concerning the intentions of the
driver of that car. Hand signals
have almost disappeared. The best
guide is the car itself.
On the Boston Post road lust
outside of Bridgeport, Conn there
was an accident recently which
illustrates the necessity for OBJ
serving this unwritten law. One
car seemingly walked right up and
bumped the car ahead without anv
reason whatsoever. The driver of
the first car declared that he had
put his hand out, signifying a stop.
The driver of the second car
claimed that the hand was put out
simultaneously with the stopping
of. the car. Obviously, the tech
nical error lay m the fact that the
driver of the first car did not give
his signal far enough IN advances
