AT AGRICULTURAL FAIRS. Council of Defense to Put Its Mes sage Before Many Connecticut Peo- pIe

Action taken by the Connecticut State Council of Defense may lead to the use of agricultural fairs throughout the state this fall by the council to bring to Connecticut citf- zens better understanding of why the United States is at war, the is sues behind the conflict and the great problems that must be solved if voc tory is to be won.
 The county fair in this state is a great '.get-together' occasion for the citizens. The city and rural district come together at every one of these fairs. The matter of participation in the fairs by the Council in various ways intended to bring home the war message to the people of Connecticut was referred to the committee on pub hcity and committee on conservation. These committees will take up without delay the matter of plans for making the greatest possible use of the op portanities afforded by the gather ing of large numbers of people at the fairs.

COMMUNITY CANNING CLUB.
Nearly Five Hundred Jars of Peas and String Beans Have Been Put Up.

In the eight working days in which the rooms of the Community Canning Club have been open to the pubic, there have been put up about 45O jars of peas and string beans. Women from all parts of the city have brought work to he done or have come in to help. Other women, who have not yet come, have many of them been inspired to do the work in their own houses. There are in this way furth- ering the aims of the club in spread ing the conservation spirit and can rot be called shirkers.
 As soon as they can find the time they will undoubtedly come in to compare notes with the community workers.
 The second crop of peas is just coming in from the farms and so the club has extended the time for can ming peas to this week also. String beans are now in their prime and beets may also be put up for those who desire it. It is a great advan- tage to bring the vegetables prepared for blanching. They get into the rocker so much earlier in the day. But if anyone cannot do this. she can invite some of her friends to come and

Y. M. C. A.MEETING.
Brief But Interesting Address Made by Pastor of the Methodist Church.

A good sized audience attended the
 Y. M. C. A. open air meeting Sunday at o'clock on Buckingham Memorial l grounds. Secretary Hill had charge of the service and B. M. Bruce and R. T. Crosby acted as ushers. After the singing of several hymns and a prayer. Rev. J. H. Neyland of Trinity NJ. E. church delivered a brief and interesting address, selecting as his text Man shall not live by bread alone but by every word that pro ceedeth out of the mouth of God Mir. Newland said in part:
 T read this passage the other day and wondered what is this word of
 God mentioned in the text and I thought of four great words that we find in the Bible which are indeed again and again we find the words "be
 of good courage" and surely our brave soldier boys have gone out with courage and the courage they have will win the great battle now raging. When the shadows come into our homes, courage is the word for us;
 when the business man faces his problems he needs courage.
 Another word I find is self control, greater is he that controlled his own spirit than he that taketh a city, that man is greatest who has learned to keep self where he belongs; the boys who have gone into camp need this grace which only God can give. The next word is responsibility, and every man should recognize that he should bear his share of the burdens and carry his portion of responsibility, for there are many burdens and respon- abilities for us all.
 The last word I will mention is faith; this is a great word, in fact the greatest of the four I have men toned. Faith is needed in every re- lation of life; we need it to live by and we need if to die hv and all the way through life faith is a great as- set to every man. If we have these four words constantly in mind. cour- age, self-control, responsibility and faith, our lives will be successful and victory Will be ours.

CORRECTING AUTO LICENSES. Motor Vehicle Commissioner Returns Certificate to Many Town Clerks.

Some of the town clerks in the state have corrected the automo- bile certificates which have been furnished them by the commissioner of auto vehicles under the law of 19l1 which requires the commits sloner to furnish duplicate copies Of certificates to the clerks The corrections made by the latter re- late to the place of residence of the persons named in the certificates. The commissioner has been obliged to return the corrected" certificates to the clerks informing the mthat he has been unable to see his way 10 accept their corrections and that the statement in the original cer- tIfcates of the residences will stand
 It seems the clerks have been la oorlng under misapprehension in regard to what constitutes a resi- dence within the meaning of the au- tomobile law. The clerks, it is be- lieved, have assumed that the term, legal residence. as it is meant by the statutes governing voting, ap- piled to the automobile law and con cluded that a person could not be considered a legal resident of a town unless he had had his home in it for six months. Under the automo- bile law a person is a resident of the town when he resides in it for thirty days. It is the intention of the commissioner to send a circular to all the town clerks in the state call- ing their attention to the automo- an automobilist as a resident and how it differentiates from the law governing the qualifications of voters.

I Saturday morning dawned brigh I and fair as good omen and a fit set t; ting for the cfty's farewell to its be loved boys who left on the $50 trair 1 for New London, thence on the gov ernment transports to the island forts where they go into active training preparatory for duty in France. At 5.30 the city was awakened by the ringing of bells and the blowing of whistles, and the late sleepers were again reminded at s. The bells and whistles were busy at intervals until the troop train pulled out at o'clock
 In spite of the early hour, an inn mense crowd lined the streets anxious ly listening for the first strains which should announce that the boys had left the armory on Franklin street After a short wait at 6.3O, the Fifth and Third companies of the Coast artillery, headed by Tubbs' Military band, es- corted by the two local companies of the Home guard, proceeded down Mo Kinley avenue and Franklin street, through Bath street, down Broadway, thence to Washington square, where they countermarched over Main street to the New Haven station, where. without breaking ranks, they boarded the waiting train.
 A Last Glimpse.
 A deeply sympathetic company had gathered at the station until there was hardly standing room for the late corners. Piteous indeed was the part ing. Tears lined the faces of mothers fathers, sisters, wives, sweethearts and friends as they strove to get as near the train as possible that they might catch a last glimpse and wave good bye to their dear ones.
 Many a mother clasped her boy to her breast and strove to hold him as long IS possible, brother kissed brother and friend shook the hand of friend and said goodbye with tears in their eyes not trusting their voice to say more. and letting tear -dinmed eyes speak the last farewells.
 Cigars for the Boys.
 Cigars were given out to the boys of the companies by H. r. Dawley. T. F. Conant and J. A. George. The boys greatly appreciated the kindness of the local men in rememb boring them as we'll a S many other friends who had previously remembered them with different gifts.
 As true soldiers the boys bore up bravely. smiling that they might not weep. The band all the while played our national airs. The Girl Left Be- hind Me and Auld Lang Syne.
 After the 15-minute goodbye the train slowly pulled out amid the hutter of handkerchiefs and rousing cheers. with them Gods blessing and the best wishes of the entire city for their welfare and safe return.
