French Mercantile Fleet Controlled By
 Maritime Minister

Paris, July 18-Anatoe De Monzie, the newly appointed under secretary of maritime transports, has obtained thee abinet's approva for the insti- tuition of a general control over the mercantile fleet. The decree insti- tuting the measure refers to the in- creasing dimunition of tonnage due to the submarine war as necessitating intense national use of the whole mercantile fleet.
 The decree authorizes the under secretary to undertake al cans of con- tro of freight rates and to utilize ships. Every ship of more than 100 tons must have a license from the under secretary, which must be pre- sented at every port entered in order that the voyage and cargo may be controlled. De Monzie has the power to requisition every ship he regards as insuf1cienty utilized.

Fruit Conserving Methods of Irevant
 Will Be Adopted
(lhcofpOFAte0J FAIRFIELD AVE. AND MIDDLE ST.

Under the supervision of federal az ricultural experts Fairfield county Is adopting the food conservation meth ods long practiced by the Italian. Turk and Hungarian.
 As a result of experiments conduct ed by members of the Storr's college working in cooperation with the Fair field County association, formed for the mobilization and conservation of the county's resources, it is estimated bhat over a million bushels of apples, grapes and other vegetables heretofore allow ed to rot upon te ground will be saw ed for consumption during the coming winter.
 Agents of the Fairfield County as- sociation are now engaged in visiting all the foreign settlements in the county, ascertadning the methods used in the drying of fruits and vegetables. It has been found that these methods are comparatively simple and may be copied by the inexperienced house- keeper as well as the more experi- enced crop-d drier. who makes this GUS tom a. business.
 It has been found that each race of people from the warmer countries of the world adopt slightly varying means to gain the same end. When the experts have collected or the associa- ton alM the methods used in evapoe rating or drying apples, beans, onions, grapes and like products the data will
 be submitted to the United States de- partment of agriculture for Approval and will at once be issued in pamphlet form for the guidance of persons in this city and the county in general Estimates indicate that, the saving to farmers in wdudfall apples heretofore almost exclusively used in the making of cider will amount to hundreds of thousands of dollars. Similar conser- Wation will be sought in the immediate drying of beanap peas and white onions

For the past several years The
senior class of the high school
has issued at the close Of the
school year, an annual contain
ing information Of the years do
ings and achievement and 9TH
er material Of interest to the
students, their parents and their
friends. The book has been well
received by the public each year
and has been the source Of con-
siderable satisfaction to all con-
cerned in it's appearance.
The Class of 1918 however,
has decided to change the GUS
tomary plan and instead Of pub
fishing one large book to pub
fish six smaller books the edi-
lions to appear at intervals Of
six weeks during the school
year. The last edition will be
larger and more elaborate than
its five predecessors. This will
give the students a much great
er opportunity to gain expert
ence in the matter Of preparing
and editing copy and will also
permit of the publishing of
school news while it is still time
~ rather than at the close of
the year. It will ALSO give bet
ter service to the advertisers
who will patronize the publica-
tion by giving them a circula-
ton Of six issues.
The paper will be edited and
managed by the senior class
with the editorial staff selected
from the entire student body.

Some unpleasantness occurred
in the lack Of real craftsmanship
on the sidelines. Always when
the mercenary attitude develops
good craftsmanship vanishes.
The crowd didn't seem to realize
that the marked field was for
the players only, and at each adj

swarmed on the grounds like a

he stood squarely on this two be-
spurred feet. He was owned by Mary
Gardner. who lived just a few doors
away from Bessie, and he was roost-
er renowned for his loud and long
growing in the early hours OF dawn.
Mrs, Fosque gave the rooster
glance and started to pass him by.
The rooster. feeling pretty cocky on
the whole. and looking for trouble In
general, gave his neighbor a belliger-
ent glance, and with. head lowered.
wings outstretched. and those two be-
spurred feet ready for action, started
toward her.
A futter OF feathers, a terrified
scream, and the rooster was squirting
with all his might.
Neighbors rushed to the scene and
the owner grabbed the rooster, while
Bessie. aided by her neighbors, contin-

cured the services OF a doctor. who
bandaged her wounds. A report was
made of the affair to Police Headquar-
