 A large tract near the center suit able for farming Is urgently needed as through the hearty cooperation of the superintendent of schools and the board of education it is believed that as much as 100 small plots could be handled by the boys and girls in the hg1her grades and the high school.

MUST ACCEPT CALVARY
 OF WAR TO END," SAYS
 RUSS SOCIALIST PAPER

Petrograd, April 20-The Zemlia Volta, the organ of the revolutionary socialists, declares that the prosecu- tion of the war is necessary since Ger many persists in her plans of con- quest. The paper says:
 "A peace formula without annex ation implies of necessity the restora- tion of the devastated countries of Belgium, Serbia, Montenegro and Ru- mania and the application of the prin- ciple of a plebiscite to decide the fate of the people in cases where there is dispute. Germany still continues to seek conquest and to penetrate fur. ther into Russian territory. It is therefore, necessary to accept the cal vary of war to the end"

When You Feel Tired,
 No Appetite, Headache

(BY w. M. GRANTIER, M. D.)
 If your wife tells you that you are 'grouchb' and out-of- sorts, be thank full for the suggestion, and set to work to get your liver busy for it is more than likely that it's inactivity is at the bottom of your trouble. Don't blame your liver for not doing it's work! You have undoubtedly been giving it too much to do. You may have occasional headaches, feel tired, no appetite, and coated tongue, and this condition may lead up to other things. At such times you are the easiest prey for colds, grip, or the disease germs of malaria. typhoid, the deadly phthisis, or the many ills which carry off so many of our citizens.
 My advice IS, give up alcohol. tea and coffee. If you must drink some thing with your meals let it be cup of hot water. Begin in the morning with pint of hot water with half lemon squeezed in it. if possible. and drink it a half hour or less before breakfast.
 Take a few minutes of bending exer- else and breathing in the morning. Walk in the outdoor air. Occasionally. say, once a week, take a good laxative, one that is entirely vegetable, A good one is that made up of the extract of May-apple, vegetable calomel, and jalap, and can be had at every drug store, for it has been sold for nearly 50 years as Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pel- lets.
 If you are occasionally troubled with rheumatic pains or lumbago, pain in the back, toes or muscles of the body, this is due to uric acid stored in the system. The liver and kidneys do not act properly. For such a person, I advise taking Anuric (double strength) three times daily for week or two. This Anuric throws out the uric acid which accumulates, and if taken occasionally will prevent or cure rheumatism and gout. There is no difficulty in obtaining Anuric at any drug store.-Adv.

Seed Preparedness
 Advised By Farm
 County Bureau Head

Anticipate your seed wants now. It is already late Every preson should have his garden planned and a list of needed seed made out and ordered ies<organizing, to carry on systematic backyard and va cant lot planting should immediately proceed to secure the names of boys and girls. men and women who will carry on this work.
 Proper committees should be or ganized to inventory. available land, seed and fertilizer, and to provide for an adequate local supply to meet the needs as shown by the inventory of men and children. The Farm Buread will advise communities in regard to the best method of procedure, and will help them secure a trained su- pervisor.
 Trained supervision Is absolutely essential. In Connecticut last year 5S per cent of the supervised plots were completely successful and only IA per cent. of the unsupervised plots. The Farm Bureau will furnish expert instruction to these supervisors. Men and women who understand children and gardens can show their patriot ism by volunteering their Services to supervise 10, 20 or 30 gardens. In towns where trained supervisors are already a twork, these supervisors through their governing committees can head up the whole work of the town.
 The Farm bureau will send out in structions to every man and woman, boy and girl in the county who is carrying on this work and will through the press keep them in touch with the best and most timely infor- nation.
 The work is developing rapidly. is moving immediately to take it up. The Agricultural Com mittee of the Danbury Chamber of Commerce will meet with the Farm bureau leader to consider this. matter Wednesday. Fairfield, Ridgerield, Wilton and Bedding have meetings planned in the next few days to con sider ways and means.
 The Fairfield County Farm bureau is the accerdited county representa- tive of the United States Department of Agriculture and the State Agricu1- tural college, and is prepared to send properly trained men to meet with any group in the county wishing to take up this work.

Food Committee Will Distribute
 Seeds for Cost

The Connecticut Committee of Food Supply has taken up the matter of buying a large quantity of seed pota- toes for distribution to Connecticut farmers at cost, plus freight and cart ing. The committee members believe that this plan will prevent any pos sible unwarranted price advances by seed and farm supply dealers in the state which might otherwise result from a shortage in the supply of seed potatoes.
 Final decision as to quantity to be bought and the methods by which they will be disposed of to the far mers will be reached in a few days.

IS THE LAST WILL
OF A spy LEGAL?
Execution Of a German Agent
Caught In France Raises In
teresting Question.

The execution in France last month
Of being a German spy has brought
up an interesting legal question. Aft
err being condemned to death Won Mey-
erem carefully drew up his will. which
he handed over to Lieutenant Wat
time, representing the French govern
ment at his execution. Wattinne turn
ed over the will to the president Of the
Seine tribunal.
1t Is a question whether the latter
will take the next steps necessary to
having the wishes Of Won Meyerem car
ried out, since, according to French
law passed In 1854. any will made by
a person condemned to death. either
before or after his sentence, Is null
and void, as he Is considered incapa-
BILE of making any disposition Of his
property.
II the French authorities should de-
eide that, despite the existence Of the
aforesaid law. the will Of Won Mey-
erem is not invalid the question OF Its
status in Germany under the German
law will still have to be thrashed out.
In his will the condemned man took
special pains with the disposition Of
his property. apparently assuming that
the document would be adjudged legal.
He enumerated various pieces OF prop
erty belonging to him In Germany,
which he left to his wife. children.
cousins. etc.
Won Meyerem was accused OF hav-
ing secured admission In March. 1916,
to the fortified city Of Nice and later
TO the intrenched camp of Paris by
hiding his German nationality. From
these places he kept up a correspond
ence with an espionage agent, using
sympathetic Ink to get his communi-
cations past the French authorities.
He was shot on Jan. Is at Vincennes.
Just outside OF Paris.
Referring to the natter OF Won
Meyerem's will, the Paris Figaro re-
marks: "No matter what happeas, II
the document containing the last
wishes of FrIao Won Meyerem should
be deposited In the hands of Paris
notary IT world seem to imply that In
France the testament of spy is not
scrap of paper void OF all legal
