HEAVY. TOBACCO LOSS.
Storm Causes Damage Which May
 Exceed $5OO,OOO.

Hartford, Aug. 23.-Tobacco grow CTS east of the Connecticut river estimate their losses due to the storm of Tuesday at more than s50O,- 900. Some of them believe that the damage may exceed that done by the storm of month ago, when the loss was placed between $60O,00O and $7OO,000. In some sections swept by the rain and hail of Tuesday, en- tire crops except such as fwere pro- tected by cloth, were entirely wiped out.
 The region around Windsor was the heaviest sufferer. At Broad Brook and Windsorville alone the damage is thought to be between $2O0,OO0 and s300,0O0. The dam age came in streaks, some stands of tobacco being destroyed while nearby crops were practically unscathed.
 Some growers say that they will immediately blow up their tobacco lands and seed them down to other crops.

MISSIONARIES ARRIVE.
Three Here From Jernsalc1n Alter
 Many Hardships.

An Atlantic Port, Aug. 23.-Trave1- ling since May 15, Miss Mabel Best. of Homeport, Ohio; Miss Anna Gun more, of Pennsylvania, and Miss Aline Butterfeld, of New York arrived from Jerusalem, Palestine, here yesterday on board a steamship from France. Although provided with a safe conduct from the Turkish government they suffered great hardships and priva- tiOnS.
 "The sufferings were not due to any lack of attention on the part of the or ficials or others with whom we came in contact along the route," said Miss Best, "but rather to conditions brought about by the war;
 The three women went to the Holy Land eleven years ago under the aus pices of the Christian and Missionary Alliance and were engaged in teach ing and other missionary work in that country They said that food in Jerus- alem is very scarce. Bread was an almost unknown quantity when they left.
 Suffering is intense among all classes and irrespective of creed, " said Miss Best, and there is little sign of relief from any source"

FOOD MEN READY
 FOR CONSERVATION
Commissioners From 28 States
 Confer With Hoover

Washington, Aug. 23.-Food Com missioners representing 2s states con- ferred yesterday with United States Food Administrator Hoover regarding the work to be performed by them in helping to conserve the nation.
 pr. Ray Lyman Wilbur, in charge of the food conservation work for the government, explained briefly the plan to enroll the support of all the women of the country in the policies of the food administration. He detailed many of the steps being taken for spreading information. The state rep resentatives promised their hearty support.
 Most of the record breaking corn crop will be past the point where frost can damage it at the average date of the first killing frost, in spite of the fact that the crop is from ten to fif- teen and in places even twenty days later than the average at this season in central and northern district.
 Reports to the Weather Bureau brought this informatiin as we'll as good news from Kansas, where the last forecast of the department of agr- culture indicated that the production would be only half that indicated a NSAOA reports said, was recovering from the effect of the previous drouth.
 The bean growers and dealers of the country have notified the Food Administration that they are ready to do everything within their power to help to benefit the American con- sumner through reasonable price for their products Both the producers and dealers said thev wOu1d co-orar- ate in producing and distributing as large a supply of beans as possible. expecting only a fair profit.
 They offered the Food Administra- tion the privilege of examining their books in order that just profit may be determined. They also recom- mend that dealing in future beans or selling the crop before maturity be 
 Aug. 2S. 29 and 30 have been desig- mated educational days" by the food administrator in responses to re- quests from those throughout the country who are eager to receive the fullest information on food conserva- tion.
 Government officials have consent 1 ed to speak at meetings on those 1 dates in the Smithsonian auditorium 1 in this city, Among those are Her bert Hoover, Assistant Secretary of 1 Vrooman, Dr. Alonzo Taylor and Graham Lusk. The ad- , dresses cover all phases of the ln- food situation, food sur vey, wheat and meat needs, milk and dairy conditions, transportation and other topics.

ELKS ABANDON FEED
 TO HELP SAVE FOOD
Meriden ''Bills' Decide to Assist Hoover by Cancelling Clambake
 Scheduled for Sunday.

Scheduled for Sunday.
 Meriden, Aug. 23.-Opportunity is offered on every hand to display pa- triotism and when an organization tightens it's belt and decides to forego enjoyment of a real big feast because it wants to help Herbert Hoover con- serve the food supply it lays itself open to the highest praise. The Meri- den lodge of Elks pleads guilty to the above action by calling off its famous annual clambake. Instead a banquet will be given to members who leave next month to join the national army at Aver, Mass.
 The clambake was planned for next Sunday at Minery's grove. About 250 members had signified their intention of going and more were about to make application. Wednesday night the clambake committee met at the Elks' Home and decided to call the event off. There was no doubt about it be- ing success. The need of food economy the talk of meatless days and the imperative necessity of co-opera- ting with National Food Administrator Hoover in safeguarding the food supply, led the committee to act ad- versely.
 Never known as an organization that was overburdened with dySpep- tics. the Elks have always had a grand feast at their annual clambakes in the past Last year they fed 425 and the year previous over 800. The variety and amount of food has always been commensurate with the hearty appe- tites of the members.

Adrian Francis Mass Had Been
 Ill But 6 Days
NATIVE OF HOLLAND
Special Town Meeting in the Town Hall This Evening-Harry MckeOn and William Ryan Leave For New Haven-Lawn F'ete August 31.

Adrian Francis Maas died last night at the New Britain General hospital after an illness of six days. His death was due to liver trouble and complication of diseases. Besides his wife, who at present is a resident of Hartford, he is survived by a daugh- ter. He was of Dutch extraction but | we'll and favorably known in this vicinity.
 Maas came to this town about twenty-five years ago from Paterson, New Jersey and took up quarters at the home of William w. Pagan, pres ent postmaster. His advent was due to the removal of the Howard Manu- featuring company, as it was then called to Kensington. Later the con- cern became known as the American Paper Goods company. He had been In their employ when they were sit uated in New Jersey and was such a valuable man that his services were an aaset to the firm.
 For about 23 years he remained in their employ although several years ago he purchased farm in the Blue Hills district. Until two years ago he stayed on duty at the Paper Goods company when he retired from an ac-
  poultry fancier and raiser at his farm.
 A few days ago he complained to sxfriends of being i'll and shortly after was removed to the New Britain Gen. eral hospital. Efforts for his re- covery were to no avail and he pas- l sed away last evening at o'clock. The funeral will take place at 2 i o'clock Friday afternoon at the undertaking rooms of B. c. Porter's Sons. Rev. Carleton B. Hazen, pastor of the Kensington Congregational ! church will of1iciate and interment will be held in Kensington.
 Special Town Meeting Tonight. There will be special town meet l ing this evening in the town hall The session will start at o'clock. A large number of citizens will probably be In attendance as the meeting is of the utmost importance. Resolutions which were drawn up at the last special meeting in regard to building the new bridge over Hart's pond near the American Paper Goods will be changed and probably made to com ply with the demands of Highway Commissioner Bennett A new ap- propriation will have to be made and special tax laid to cover the same.

In sizing up the relative strength OF
two ball clubs there are two main
fundamentals to be considered, the o.
