Coy. Holcomb Believes He Lacks
 Power to Order Conscription
MEN IN FEDERAL SERVICE
Execut1ve Asaues Men That No Ono Ensisttng Now Wun Be Sent To Guard FActoraes But Will Be Given Training at Once.

Hartford. June 20.-There will be no state draft to fill the Connecticut Natonal Guard to war strength. If men are to be drafted for National Guard units, 1t will be done by the federal government under the existing military laws which give the president power to draft men for troops in the federal service.
 Governor Holcomb, through the Connecticut state council of defense. gave out tho Information today that there would be no draft by the gov, ernor to fill the ranks of the Con- necticut National Guard.
 "The president of the United States clearly has the power to draft men for the Connecticut National Guard as we'll as for the national guards of other states.'' said Governor Holcomb. Tt appears to me, from the new militia law of the state, that have not the power to make such a draft with the nation at war and our troops now in federal service.
 "But we do not want such draft to become necessary. It would re- fleet upon our state's history and up- on the splendid spirit which our citi- zens have shown in this crisis if it be- C<AulS uSCSSSdIy 1OE tu0 lSOSTdl 8VNe ernment to step in and draft men to i'll our national guard quota.
 1T understand that Adjutant Gen. George M. Cole has given assurance today that no men who enlist in our state militia from now on will be re- quired to do guard duty at factories or bridges around the state. With this assurance that they will go into training at once. for actual service. believe our red-blooded. two-fisted Connecticut boys will respond to this call for National Guard recruits now being made by the Connecticut state council of defense, and that we will nll our units to their full war strength without the necessity of a federal draft It should be remembered that these who are now resistered1 for se- lective conscription and, in addition men under and ahove the conscriptton ages, arc all eligible for enlistment in the National Guard"

 Rev. Lucyan Bojnowski introduced by Chairman Bennett as the man who has done SO much to make his people good and loyal citizens, gave . very interesting talk on the part the Poles have played in previous wars. and said that in the present conflict they will be found true and loyal. He urged that all put their shoulders to the wheel and do their part, stating that this is time for action rather than talk. Speaking of Germany. Father Bojnowski said that In his early life he attended school there, and the spirit of the nation was towards militarism with Japan as the cue for their activity. If this country Is to succeed in this war. the men must stand together and when the war Is over, they can re- sume talking.
 Germany Plague Among Nat3ons.
 Marcus White. principal of the State Normal school was the second speaker of the day. He said that the remarks of the previous speaker regarding action rather than talk had struck him forcibly. but on an occa- sion such as the present he was glad to speak briefly. MT. White spoke uf the brilliant addresses that have been given during the week on the war situation at the luncheons and he said that this country has at last awakened from slumber to the realization of the imperilc of our homes, and the principles of freedom under which we live. Germany has become an unspeakable nation. q country which is . plague among other nations" the speaker said, and this fact must be brought to the minds of the men of this country. The Allies which have carried on the war for three years have been fighting the battles of the U. s. In conclusion the speaker said, We are not going to be licked as long as we have man or dollar left"

Office Man Is Safest Risk.

Do you know how much risk Of In
inrv or death there ia in your daily
occupation? The actuary of the state
workmen's compensation department
has it all figured out in dollars and
cents.
The man who takes the least risk
Is the man employed in Office work,
such as a bank clerk.
Office employees are rated at a
premium of II cents on each 500 for
the aggregate pay roll of the institu-
ton by which they are employed.
Newspaper men are rated at IS cents
on the S100. This includes all branches

possible to have fresh eggs any and at
all times. Fresh eggs are in reality
very hard to get, and unless you have
small flock of hens you perhaps not
very often get the real fresh eggs.
The greatest difficulties in connec-
ton with back-lot poultry keeping are
the prevention OF contamination vi the
land and the keeping up of the vigor
Of the stock. The former can only be
prevented by proper rotation and
planting to crops The latter may be
done by introducing new blood occa-
sionallye or by having the breeding
stock each year reared under farm
conditions. Most all city or town peo-
pie have few farmer friends that
would be glad to raise some Of their
pure-bred poultry on halves.
For a good arrangement Of a town
poultry plant see the accompanying
figure. A shows the movable colony
brooder houses for small chicks. The
place used for garden one year may
the next year be used to grow the
chicks and the garden put where
chicks were the year before. b shows
laying house, IA by 40, divided in two
pens each large enough to accommO-
date about rs laying hens. It win be
noticed that to each Of these pens is
attached two yards, G. This makes 1t
possible to use one yard for a garden
one year and the next year the other.
This system Of yarding keeps the
ground sweet at all times, and makes
it possible to grow wonderful garden
crops without buying any commercial
fertilizer. D shows the movable colo
ny houses for the growing stock. One
of these houses may be used as a cock
erel house. These yards should be cul-
tivated when not In use or planted to
some crops once year to prevent
their becoming contaminated.
A plant Of this size properly taken
care of can be made to bring in a
profit over all expenses, except labor,
Of from $500 to $500. After several
years improved breeding, gradually
working into the breeding Of high-bred
stock, either for egg production or for
the show, there is no telling to what
extent such a plant may be worked.
Remember, to make a success on such
a plant it is highly important to keep
the stock healthy, strong and vigor-
Gus, and to prevent the contamination
Of the ground.

REGULARITY or WATER LEY
Plant Produces an Oil Which Prevents
Moisture Remaining on lie
Leaves and Blossoms.

Slow-moving rivers, ponds and lakes
are the habitat Of a flower which, as
most everybody knows, is the water
lily.
Did you ever know what gave the
leaves and blossoms of the water
nymph" their shining appearanceF It
Is due to an oil which prevents water
remaining on them and clogging the
little mouths, or stomachs through
which the plant breathes.
The leaves are large, fiat and nearly
round. The blossoms are very SNOWY,
measuring, in our common American
species, nearly six inches across. In
color they are white, pink and yellow.
Water lilies are particular about the
weather In which they bloom. On fine,
warm days the flowers open in the
morning and close at night, but on
duh, chilly days the flower does not
venture forth.
One member of the family, Victoria
regia, which grows in South America,
has a leaf six to twelve feet broad,
with curious rim that gives it a tray
like appearance. The leaves are strong
enough to hold two men.

ART Not aea0iHE0 BIZ AIS
Rsaily prsaeisrs Nsoaar Is aogn q.
hul Accomplishment ls one That
Can Be Acquired.

NaFglng your husband Is q special
art By itself, and while some women
have a natural gift IN that direction,
others can only acquire It by constant
application. A husband In house is
something like q hlppopOtamus He is
often a dun. placid creature, hard to
move or tlslodge, especially If he gets
accustomed to a favOrite chair. BE
often becomes toughened by exposure
to constant nagging. and it takes a
powerful weapon with fairly high
trajectory to do him any damage. Dc
caslOnaIly, however, he develops sem
sltive areas, and can become con-
slant source of pleasure to any lady
who likes to nag.
Every woman knows, of course, that
her husband is more susceptible about
half an hour before dinner, when he
has come home from the Office tired
out. BY studying him carefully she
will discover certain days in the
month when she can nag him with the
highest percentage Of bulls-eyes.
The art Of nagging, however, Is not
all objective. Much can be done from
the subjective standpoint. BY intimat-
Ing to her husband in many ways,
which she can easily learn by prac-
tlce, that she is the most abused lady
on earth, she can derive whole pro
gram Of amusement. The historical
methOd-that Of dragging up some
dead, forgotten thing and talking
about it all over again, and still over
agaln--is also a splendid form Of nag
ging.
Some wives. however, so blind are
they, never see this at all. They just
go Oh, hopefully trying to make their
husbands happy. The high art Of nag

The Cotswolds are another example
of the variety Of natural scenery that
England succeeds in packing away
within her narrow seabarred bOun-
daries. Here, within three hours Of
the largest city in the world, you can
walk in complete loneliness, over
grassy road that follows the route laid
out by Roman engineers, with a tum-
bled skyline Of real mountains on YOU
right, and a sweep Of empty fields
falling away to the left. You can take
tea in an old Roman via, where the
tiled courtyard is still smooth and
tight; you can sleep in an inn that has
apparently not changed its habits or
its bill of fare since the days Of Rich
