FOOD SUPPLY COMMITTEE
 MET AT HARTFORD
Robert w. Perkins of This City Ap-
 pointed on Subcommittee.

At a meeting of the committee of food supply Of the State Council of Defence at the Hartford Club Satur- farmers were considered and a com mittee appointed to make further de- finite recommendations. The need for such loans is evident in the present situation because of thedemand be- ing made upon the farmers to expand their operations. The situation is diffi cult because the present lOaning agencies are frequently unfamiliar with the business conditions of the would-be borrowers. It is the desire of the committee to find some means of placing this matter upon more satisfa ctory basis. John P. Elton of Waterbury, Robert W. Perkins of Norwich, Wilson H. Lee of New Ha- ven and Charles T. Davis of Middle town were appointed a sub committee to take up with Guy c Smith of the Connect[ut Horticultural College fur ther plans fr farm loans
 The committee of food supply also considered the marketing and storage proble-hs of the state and plans for solving these questions were discussed
 The need for an agricultural census was pointed out, as 1t was agreed that this is necessary, because of the fact that the last census of this kind was taken in 1S45.
 A large amount of routine business was transacted; the members present were William C. Cheney of South Canchester, Charles T. Davis of Mid 6letown. John P. Elton of Waterbury. Robert w. Perkins of Norwich. Rob- ert Scoville of Salisbury. Clifford l. Stoddard of Woodbridge and Waiter l.. Goodwin of Hartford.

there ie a change in the attitude tow a I'd Jesus Christ.
 A few years ago the body of a young man was found and the news pa per stated that it could not be identified. The next day over five hundred moth CTS filed by that body; every one of them had 8 prodigal son, and they thought this might be the long lost boy. l wonder how many mothers are wondering in their minds where is my wandering boy tonight"
 Nothing will calm the industrial dis turbances in the various countries in Cluding our own. but compliance with the will of God, and regarding the awful war of which we are no wa part. somewhere, somebody failed to line up with Gods will and hence this most awful murderous discord among the nations.
 When the human will is parallel with the perfect will of the Almighty what glorious results will come. God grant that the time may speedily come when the harmony of heaven may be estab- iished in this sin-stricken earth of ours.

OPEN AIR MEETING.
Secretary Hill of the Y. M. C. A. Was
 the Speaker.

The second of the series of open air meetings under Y. M C. A. auspices was held Sunday afternoon at 5 o'cloc kin front of Buckingham Me morial building. Severa. of the popular hymns were sung by the audience and these were accompanied by the organ and cornet.
 Rev L. M Keneston was engaged to speak, but he was unayoidably de- tained with other duties. and in his absence Secretary Hill made a brief address on the test and ye would not" and he spoke in part as follows:
 It was pathetic picture that day long ago when Jesus wept over the city which he loved and uttered the words of the test, and you would not" He had endeavored to win them to himself and therefore to the will of God but they had steadfastiy refused to believe on him, and he literally cried over their sad condition of heart and life.
 Refusal to line up with Gods will always causes discord, and on the other hand, compliance with that will brings about beautiful harmony.
 It takes power to make things go: in a mil the steam engine is needed, and the mill is useless without it: in home the great need is the power of love and in an individual fife the great on and up is adherence to the will of God. and without this the life is not what 1t should be.
 The other day I rode on the trolley car for four hours. and on that trip noticed several old mills. with broken windows and many signs of decay. and the former power house was devoid of the engine that formerly made the machinery hum, and all about was the sign of death. It was rather a sad sight.
 Some time since I visited a fashion q ble summer resort where many mill lionaires lived, and several of the bea utiful homes were unoccupied, and had been so for several years. I asked the reason and was told that in prac- ticaEy every case things had happened in those homes which painly indicated that the power Of love had gone and with it harmony had disappeared. and as a result the family was all broken up.
 I have seen other homes where there | was little or no luxury, but happiness | was found in abundance because love | was supreme.
 We have seen individual lives out of | which has gone the desire for the | things of God. and the e-human will has | overridden the Divine will and instead | of harmony there is increasing discord | and this discord will continue until |

STOLEN AUTOMOBILE RECOVERED
L. E. Harris Jr.s Car Stolen Water Street Saturday
 Evening Near Westerly Early Sunday Morning

About g o'clock Saturday evening the large Studebaker touring car own ed by l.. E. Harris, Jr., of West Main street was stolen by unknown persons and was not recovered until early Sunday morning.
 The car had been left standing on Water street near the Auditorium the atre by C. D. Joslyn while he and Mrs. Joslyn were in the theatre. When they came out the car was gone. MT. Jos lyn immediately notified the local po lice of his loss. and they communicated with the police of the surrounding towns. The local police were on the lookout all the evening for the missing car, but could get no clue of 1t.
 Shortly after o'clock Sunday morn ing Sergeant West of the Westerly police received notice from a resident living about two mics from Westerly on the Potter Hill road that an auto
Norwich bulletin., 1917-07-09

mobile had been abandoned near there. The abandoned car was identified as the Harris machine.
 Sergeant West called the local police and Sunday morning Chief Linton sent Policeman Charles Smith, accompanied by C. D. Joslyn, Charles s. Peckham and Joseph Harris, to Westerly for the machine. The car was found to be in good order and none the worse for the trip. MT. Jos.yn says that there was about 20 gallons of gasoline in the car when he left it on Water street. When the car was found the tank contained a little less than 10 gallons showing that in all probability it had been driven steadily from the time it was stolen until it was abandoned
 It is thought by the police that the auto was stolen by the same thieves that stole the cars in the vicinity of Westerly last week
