attempt to get on the ballot.

not. When IL Is announced. and
regardless of what IL -, the run
ming abilities Of several OF those
who have been milling around at
the tape should soon be displayed.
Gov. Moody's own decision as to
a new race this year is known not
to be contingent upon whether Sen.
Love shall be in the campaign as
a candidate. or outside the primary
as an independent runner. Nor
whether Love will get out entirely.
Possibility that Love might ret out
entirely If Gov. Moody Il running
appears stronger than that Moody
would decide way or the other
on the basis Of Loves presence or
absence in the primary race.
The first OF Moody's three pub
lie statements dealing with the
past and the future has been issued.
The second was expected early III
the week. This gave rise TO belief
that his final utterance OF this
series might be made by the first
Sunday OF May. That final state
ment is expected to be his yes-or
no-of the race this year.

WHY DOES HEN CROW
 INSTEAD OF CHUCK?
County Coroner Bills Egg Layer Initiates Rooster But Remains
 Domestic

The Danielson correspondent of the Norwich Bulletin" has unearth- ed a new story from the poultry yard. The latest freak yarn Is a hen that crows like a rooster. This is without question news. The hen being one of the flock of Arthur C.. Bill. widely known as county coroner and as pros ecutor of the town court of Killing ly. gives the unique hen all the more importance.
 While the hen is inclined to be masculine, nevertheless she performs her domestic duties and lays eggs for the attorneys breakfast. Whether these eggs are of such quality that the hen crows over them, or whether it is one of those instances when a female is dissatisfied with her sex and wishes to be a male, is unexplained. In fact there is no reason advanced as to why a dutiful egg-laying hen wishes to cock-a-doodle-do instead of caekle like any self respecting hen should do.

Ernes. j. Bernier Testihes to Un- faithfulness of Wife.-Lived With
 Bride Less Than a Year

Ernest J. Bernier of Danielson named Arsene Lavallee. a taxicab driver in that burrough. in hts action for divorce from his wife, Ellen c. Bernier, before Judge Arthur r. Els in the superior court in this city last Friday morning. The decree was granted on statutory grounds.
 The petitioner told the court he was married in November. 1928, at St. James church. Danielson. Last July he went to the U. s. government hos pital in Newport. While there Laval lee and his wife came Co see him. The wife showed most of her attention Co the taxi driver during the 2O-min- ute visit Co the sick room, the witness said.
 Bernier returned to Danielson and there heard stories about his wife and Layallee. They were soon thereafter arrested and plead guilty to a charge Of immortality.
 Sergeant George l.. Gardner of the state police testified Co the arrest of Lavallee and the Bernier woman and their pleas of guilty.
 The decree was granted and GUS tody of a minor child was awarded plaintiff with an order for him to pay five dollars q week for the child's sup port. This was brought about be- cause the child is being boarded and Bernier has been paying five dollars a week for it's board.

He will enter a hospital in Hartford for an operation as soon as the veterans bureau can make the ar engagements.

PUTNAM PEOPLE TO GET
 GAS AT REDUCED PRICES

Gas rates in this territory are due to take nose dive to unexpectedly lower levels if the public responds to what looks like a real proposition. and there is little disputing that 1t is.
 In fact. if the public responds in sufficient degree-gets gas-minded, 1t may be said this community and others hereabouts are going to buy that now essential commodity at an amazingly new figure, for this terri tory, be 1t understood.
 Great communities, where gas IS used in such abundance as to make it's production possible at low cost, have had the benefit of low rates for years. But this territory, where gas has sold for years as high as S2.5O per thousand cubic feet, when it was cost ing the company even more than that to produce, is going to gasp, 1t may be expected, at hearing of flat rate charge of Sl.65. and charge for all gas used at 95 cents per 1000 cubic feet.
 Upon Request
 These rates are to be available upon request from the Connecticut Light and Power Company. Putnam district, for all domestic purposes when self action storage water heaters are used.
 The plan means more economy for the homes where gas is used for cook ing and water heating. Ii means that during the season when many heaters are not in use in many homes hot water. in abundant quantities, will be available for every household neces- sity.
 Manager Ralph Thurston of the Putnam district of the light and power company said this afternoon that in all the years Putnam and all the other territory served by the cor poration's gas mains never have hae a chance to buy gas at such a low rate.
 The success of the plan depends on how Putnam people respond A year. trial with no other obligation than a rental of S1,50 per month for self acting gas heater is all the company is asking for it. Looking as much lik, free advertising as this does. 1t still is grand news for the average house holder who likes to live in these mod ern days In a modern manner.
