Windham sent more men to the Revolutionary war than any other town in Connecticut. The pages of History are replete with their loy- aIty, and how they fought bravely for erty, but there is very little writ ten about the brave women of that period who fought equally as great a battle the battle for bread and home.
 When every able bodied man from fourteen years to decrepit age march ed to the front what did this mean to the wives and mothers left at nome during those dreadful seven years of struggle? Today we pity the woman with a little family who is left to f1n- ish the struggle alone but in those days nearly every home for time at least was left fatherless
 Windham town then consisted of all the Territory from South Windham to Scotland, Hampton, Chaplin, North Windham, Windham Centre and Will Ifmantfc, and all this territory sent her brave men to the war, the Wo- men like the Spartan women or old, bade them, in sentiment at least, to Bring back their shields or be brought back on them" The men gone they turned their attention to the fields and to the looms first to grow the flax then to card and spin and weave, and make not only clothing for thems selves and families, but bandages with which to bind the wounds or the Soidlefs. Picture to yourselves to-day, ye Daughters of the Revolution. the real Mothers of the Revolution following the ponderous flat shoveled wooden pIoughs, plodding behind the patient OK, upturning the soil in order to grow the flax and corn and rye which must clothe and feed, not only the ones at home but the fathers and sons in the army as well. See them as they paced back and forth spinning the snowy rolls of wool to be made into clothing, much of it to be sent away, turning the great wooden wheels, spinning the slender threads before the great roar ing fires in the kitchen fireplace; the only light the fickering flames which lit up the whole room. Before the fire on cold evenings, a long cusioned bench with a high back was drawn up. on which the children sat, shelter ed from the cold drafts of the room bv the back. The seat did duty for a chest as well in which were kept the rolls for spinning, which the mother and big girls spun into yarn which the little girls knit into socks and mittens for the men of the family and themselves The little boys and the grandsires were busy also for in many homes pewter was brought from the closets and melted in an iron pan over

Radical Changes Inaugurated
in New Central Union
Phone Directories.

Those calling telephone numbers
will soon be required to say Rock Is
land" Moline"' or Davenport in,
stead of west" least" or north,
as heretofore. A new directory now
in course of preparation makes this
radical change in prefixes in the three
cities, the object being to avoid con
fusion that has frequently resulted
under the present system.
Another change consists Of putting
all the names of subscribers in the
three cities together in alphabetical
order. instead of having a separate
section for each city. All directories
printed Will be gotten up in the same
form, where until now it has been ne
cessary to get out three forms, putting
names in the city in which each form
was to be circulated first for convent

officers Of the Central Union com
pany in making the change are influ
