THIS Isn't meant to be a.. object lesson.
l. It's just G. little observation on human
nature, a hopeful observation. Human
nature isn't English or American, it's
just human. and it gives you a thrill to
know that when you bump into big
actuality like an air raid you shed your
cowardice and become something big and
fine you never thought you'd be.
Why, 1t makes you look at yourself in
a new light. And doesn't it make you
feel sort of above worrying about little

Perhaps there is no country in all the

New Britain is to have an all-New Britain basketball team if the plans that Warren S. Slater, physical direct or of the Y M. c. A. is contemplating, come to a successful conclusion. Though the ranks of basketball play CTS have been sadly depleted by the entrance of many into the service there still remains good material from which to choose a team. Bill Kopf, Cincinnati shortstop; Stepanian and Siegrist, former stars of the local high school; Merl<ie Jacobson, who played on the Toronto baseball team of the International league, and Di- rector Slater merged into one team, would present a formida ble lineup that would cause the best in the state to sit up and take notice.

 POTATO COMMITTEE

 fly incurred ill the performance of it's duties shall be paid in the manner hereinbefore provided for the pay ment of other expenditures of such committee.
 " Section 5. This act shall take effect from it's passage, but shall not continue in force after the rising of the general assembly at it's January session, A. D. 1919.'
 By a perusal of the act you can readily see that the matter of har- vesting, sale and distribution of po- tatoes is absolutely in the hands of the food and fuel committee and not under the jurisdiction of the Common Council.
 The municipal farm and food and fuel committees have extended every courtesy to the members of the com- mon council and, no doubt, will con- tinue to do so and, as soon as the crop has been harvested the municipal farm committee will make a report of it's dolngs and also of the result of the municipal farm enterprise to the com mon council
 Slacl<ers Howl Loudest
 ''The critics who have been Ioudest in predicting the failure of the muni- cipal farm enterprise and who have criticised the acts and doings of both committees have been of little help to the committees in their work during the past seven months.
 'They are loud in their protestations of patriotism, yet, I believe that today it is the man who works and acts rather than talks who is going to win this war.
 'If it is a pleasant day Sunday, the municipal farm committee will be very pleased to welcome the critics at the municipal farm to help in the picking up of the potatoes. The committee needs fifty men to volunteer to assist in the harvesting of the crops.
 '"The municipal farm has not been a failure, all that the committee asks is that the press and the public with hold criticism until the seasons work has been completed.
 "The men on the committee are rep resentative citizens who have given freely of their time and will continue to do so, and who do not want praise for their work as they are but doing their patriotic duty and will at all times welcome constructive criticism vet feel that unjust and destructive criticism should be withheld until as I said before, the committee makes it's report
