CITY APPROPRlATES
 MORE F0R GARDENS
Makes Possible Instructions in
 Canning Vegetables

Following free discussion at tho special council meeting last evening the members voted to appropriate an additional $1.O00 for the homo gar gen project, the money to be used for proper garden supervision and in- structions in canning. This home garden project must not be confused with the Municipal farm. The home garden plan was incorporated e num- ber of weeks ago whom large tracts Of land were loaned for private use under the supervision of a commit tee and the Chamber of Commerce. The city loaned $1,600 to prepare the land for cultivation The Municipal farm plan Is a city enterprise and $1S,000 has been appropriated for the cultivation of g nfty-acre farm in Stanlsy Quarter, the produce to be sold to the citizens at cost.
 Tn order that al bills incurred by tho Municipal farm committee may bo paid at once out of the $16,0OO appro- priation the council passed a motion giving such authority and authorizing the city comptroller to honor such drafts. The lease on the Tracey farm

of fifty acres at $10 m acre was ap- proved as was action recommending the sale of property on Chapman and Rutherford streets to Peter D. Mo- Kenna for $101 and $625 respective ly.
 F. c. Vibberts representing the home garden committee reported that already about $1.4 400 of the $1,5o0 ap- propriation loan has been spent in preparing the home gardens for planting. He said the early under standing was that the county would furnish a supervisor but developments showed that the committee had to engage the farming expert Ut cost of about $500. It Is estimated that the returns to the city from tho home gardens will be only $1,o0o, showing a
New Britain herald., 1917-06-02

deficit for the city. MT. vibberts also reported that plans are under way for public instructions in canning foodstuffs during the summer.
 Mayor Quigley voiced his approval of the home garden work. He ex- plained that with 800 private garden plots in the city. costing about $2.00o, the cost per capita is but about three cents. He favored spending the orig inal $1.600 appropriation and $500 more if necessary. MT. Vibbert's plan was to: have the committee given au- thority to spend over again the money as 1t is paid back by the home gar deners and later, If necessary. ask for an additional appropriation. In case a canning instructor and supervisor is necessary it will cost about $500.

The banks have sub- scribed literally, but the funds of the banks, are, for the most part, needed to support. industry and agri- culture. Our factories, our merchants, our farmers borrow largely from the banks and these loans must go on if business is to go on, if food is to be pro- duced.
 Success Is generally built on accurate informa- ton, and we feel that if you are informed of the need you will meet the need, surely, quickly and eagerly.
 What YOU Must Do
 The need is for you, yes you, to buy these bonds. The Nation needs the money to equip its men; for food; for ships. You must not fail to protect your country from disas- ter at arms through faulty or slow equipment of its men who go to light your battles. You must protect yourelf, your family, your friends, your neighbors, your community from the disaster of business de- pression and hard times.
 If the average subscrip- tion should be $4OO, then five million people MUST subscribe. You MUST be one of the subscribers. Every family in this com munity MUST subscribe to protect their own inter- ests, their own income, their own livelihood, their jobs, their future.
 Subscribe all you can. Make a real sacrifice. And remember, that if you want our prosperity right here to be all that it can be, you MUST make a real sacrifice.
 You will find that the sacrifice you made to buy Liberty Bonds is not a sac rifice but the best stroks of business you ever did for yourself, your family, your friends, your community, since you earned your first dollar.
 Now do you see why you MUST subscribe all you can NOW? Disaster if you don't-prosperity if you do.
 And let's see what you get for your money when you subcribe. A United

BEARS STOP TRAIN.
Engineer Waits Half Hour for Them
to Get Off Track.

JOTNSONBURG, Pa, Aug. 2o.-A
log train on the Dahoga and Highland
Railroad was held up recently for half
an hour by two large black bears three
miles south of Highland
The train was moving slowly up the
hill when Engineer Johnson saw two
bears weighing about 800 pounds each
on the track a few hundred feet ahead.
Johnson rang the bell and blew the
whistle, but the bears stood still and
gazed at the approaching train.
Knowing that it would be impossible
to kill the bears at the speed his heavy
train was moving up the hill and fear
ing an attack if he injured them, John
son stopped the train and watched them
for about half an hour, when they slow
