About twenty men of the Ambulance com pany are expected to be reected' be- cause of physical defects. The com pany clerks are fast preparing the muster rolls for the initial muster in which will be held on August 3.
 Outside Of a number of very minor complaints, very little sickness has been reported at the camp infirmary The infirnary is under the charge of Captain w. Stevens of Bridgeport. as sisted by Lieut.. James F. Cobey of the Field Hospital and and the men of the Field Hospital.
 No complaint has been made by the men because of camp conditions. The constant breeze from the river de- creases the heat and to date the food has been up to high standard How ever, the boys of the Ambulance com pany of Bridgeport have just cause to kick when meal time comes around The Ambulance company found itself with about 45 men reporting from the reserve and not enough meat came to go around. Hence while ono half of the men at mess, the rest must wait until the dishes are washed before they can have their mess.

EXEMPTION BOARD MEETS. Coed Spirit Shown By Drafted Men, But Few Pass Examinations.

| At g o'clock Thursday the exemp- l tion board of the 18th district con-
 vened in the Superior court room.
 Putnam. for the purpose of meeting i thoce who were to be examined and selected to make up the great con- script army of this country. On the board for this district are Dr. J. Bry- l den Kent, Putnam; Edward A. Sull- l ivan, Danielson; and Attorney Charles L. Iorrey, Putnam. Dr. Kent, aided by Dr. Edward Perry. Putnam, had charge of the physical examinations During the morning session there
 were 19 examined physically, and out CT this number exactly 16 filed, or sisnffied their intentions of filing claims for exemption. Of the three
 who do not claim exemption, only two
 are physically fit. It is thought that
 a large number will have to be called
 and examined before the districts quota of 119 can be met.
 Those in charge of the work say
 that all those who have come before
 the board have done so without sulk-
 ins or intention of making any trou-
 pie. Ihe spirit shown by the young men being examined has been one of Q desire to do everything possible to make the work of the local board IS easy as it can be made. The board hopes to get it's work done by Satur- day night. and in order to do this it will be necessary to examine about 80 men day for the rest of this week Aliens are not required to take the physical examination, since the fact that they are not citizens of this country automatically debers them from being drafted. All of those who claim exemption must file their claims before the board adiourns Saturday. since this is the last day that tte law allows for the filing Of exemption claims Everyone of the men who go beore the board will receive 1sotifica- ton as to whether he has 7tseen ac- cepted or. not. and this notice5 will bo sent out in plenty of time in ;fcase the person receiving it wishes tD appeal from the decision of the local district board to the next higher board

MANY REFLECTIONS AT

 Tuesday night many men crawled out side their tents entirely to get the benefit of whatever breath of air there
 might be. Wednesday the heat seemed even more severe. Tuesday Battery of Stamford, which has been in Bridgeport for months, completed fourday trip here overland and upon arrival was in a state of collapse Five horses dropped on the way and many men. More men collapsed after reaching camp and the hospital was choaked to overfowing Tuesday night with heat cases. The four day hike was a severe one and the companies in camp pitched in and helped tl-e exhausted battery men pitch their tents and settS down.
 Tuesday drills in the middle of the day were suspended.
 Every precaution Is being taken aainst sickness and in the fight against food abuses a rule has been passed that no ice cream or iced camp until after o'clock in the after noon. Another rule forbids the dis tribution of papers and packages un- til after e;30 to prevent foods getting to IIiC IisH III pdChdgeS or papers during the heat of the day
 The great advantage at Mantle is the nearness of Mantle river and swimming is the great outdoor sport here. Already a swimming drill of 45 minutes every other day has been made a part Of the medical company's routine and will probably be made a | part of all company work so that the men may become proficient in swim ming.

 Valuable Market Report.
 A local market report is compiled and mailed every Thursday from the office of the Windham County Farm Agent at Putnam. This report which is of great assistance to the farm CTS, gives the latest retail prices of farm produce for the towns of Put nam, P1ainfieid, Webster and Willi- mantle, as well as the wholesale price at Boston. Thus if a buyer comes to a farm and wishes to purchase veg eta bles or stock, the farmer has only to refer to the local report to see what, he should receive for the goods sold, by him. The fact that 54 farm srs. have asked that the market report be mailed to them weekly shows that 1t is both useful and appreciated ! There is no charge for the service and any farmer in the country may have it for the asking.
