It's Really a Simple Matter When You Know How
 to Do It.
Especial to the Herald)

Plainv1lle, Nov. 13.-It was a dull night In Plainville. In fact most nights are dull in this town since Barleycorn, Headache 6 Co.,, drew down the shutters on the1r establish mont and slipped away like tho Arabs. But last night was especially dull. So determined arc tho cdti9ens on troad- ing the straight and narrow, that they are even shocked these eveningg when tho stars wink.
 "Dick'' Norton. chief of tho fro de- partment, who rules like Kerensky did before the others in the Alphabet ment, was strolung along North Washington street, ref1ecting on the beauties of tho Connecticut night, when he discovered two fires twink ling in the distance. "Ha! likewise Hist!" muttered tho chief as he pulled his Stetson down over his eyes. '"There's wickedness stalking abroad in this fair land of ours. Twill never do. 'Twon't never do." Stealthily approaching the spots from which flames could be seen r1s- ing the chief clinched his theory when he learned that two fires were burning brightly. Like the wind he l rushed to the grist mill of "Bill' Eat l on and took the proprietor into his confidence.
 After Eaton had stopped laughing. he informed the chief that the fires were built by two watchmen, sta toned at opposite ends of a detour to warn omobilists that 8 new rail- road bridge was being constructed on 1 North Washington street and that the highway was impossible. The fires were built by the watchmen to keep themselves warm.
 Well, they shouldn't be there" unused the chief. Guess I'll call out my boys" Thereupon. he wired to tho telephone central and instructed her to ring in an alarm from Box 8 tho Rrist mill. Tho men of the Plain. ville Hose Company wore just getting in their beauty sleep but they reused themselves like gladiators and sallied forth to do battle. Tn record time they were at the scene of the conf1a- grafton.
 "Where's the fire. Chief?" they | asked in chorus.
 "Daown in tn medder," replied Dick
 "Sure enough. So 'tis," responded the company, standing in rapt admir- alton at their chief, for his perspicac- ity, not to mention his perspicuity. With little loss of time, they seized the chemical extinguishers and the watchmen were deprived of their heating system.
 Good work. boys" said Chief Norton when the last coal had hissed it's way into history. That's sure some department, SOME department" " unused the chief as the f1remen col lected the two extinguishers and dis appeared in the gloom.
 And there's no doubt that you are some chief, SOME chief" responded "Bill'' Eaton, as he extended his hand in congratulation. There's no dam ger of any fire loss while you're at the head of the department"
 But it isn't on record what the watchmen said. And 1t probably couldn't be printed, anyway, except on asbestos paper

Rev. John J. Fitzgerald. pastor o] the church of St. John the Evangelist and Rev. Warren F. Cook, pastor ot Trinity NJ. F. church. delivered two stirring patriotic talks at the Elks' Home on aShnEton street this noon, that struck n vital chord in the hearts of the \. M. t. A. and k. of C. cam paign workers assembled for the first monday luncheon, in tho big cam- paign Deing waged four days this week for $65,000 for extension of so- cial recreation work among the boys in France and the soldiers now train- ing in the army cantonments in vari- ous stations throughout the country. Several times during the talks the speakers were forced to cease while the hall resounded with applause greeting their remarks.
 Chairman Pease at the conclusion of the reading of reports, introduced Rev. Father Fitzgerald. The elo- quent pastor of the church of St. John the Evangelist, who has scored renown as a lecturer, was at his best today. The priest spoke of the boys in the army and navy whose chances of being victorious in the war were enhanced by clean living, at which the present campaign is aimed. Sol d1ers and sailors. the speaker said must be morally as well as physically fit to go forth into battle. In order that this may be done two great or ganizations have aligned in a nation- wide movement to raise $35,OOO,OOO for the Y. M. c. A. and $3,OOO,OOO for the K. of c. You men who are not in the armies are going to do this and it is not enough. when you consider that the life of one American boy is more valuable than all the gold of the land" the speaker said
 That there is room for the Y. M. c. A. in this great country and also the K. of C., Father Fitzgerald said there was no doubt. He told of listening to Theodore Roosevelt, in his speech in Hartford recently. pay a splendid trib- ute to tho war work that is being con- ducted by the Y. M. c. A. and within the recent few days, he had heard Governor Holcomb speak in t1attering manner of the efforts of the Knights of Columbus. ''The liherty of Ameri- ca. is loved by all. and there is not one of us that would not extend this to all the people of the world. The time 1 has arrived, when all the people of America should set aside their politi- cal differences and religious animosi- ties, that America may win this great war; Father Fitzgerald said amid 1 applause.
 The conflict is growing more gigan- tic daily, and it is up to every man in America to give his best efforts, that the government of the people. for the people, and by the people, should not be allowed to perish from the earth. America must win this war" the speaker said in conclusion.
 Rev. w.. r. Cook was tue second speaker of the day. He said he was much impressed by two statements 1 that had been made, one by Mayor Quigley last evening, that in aiding the Liberty Loan. the people of this country were not giving, they were ] investnG but the time has arrived when they should be asked to give.

DOUBLE NATIONS
MEAT SUPPLY

Poultry must be produced next
year in places where it has not been
produced before, and everywhere that
poultry has been produced that pro-
duction must be increased. 1t is nee
essary that people in the country and
in the towns answer alike to this
call Farms and backyards must
both do their bit, for the doubling of
our poultry production next year is
an indispensable item in the nation
food production program-a program
which must be carried out If we are
to win the war.
The meat supplies available for
European use are short. Meat must
be supplied il the war is won-by
the forces who fight for freedom. The
war will be won If We fail in food
production-but not won by us. We
must understand what will happen il
we do not provide the enormous
quantities of foodsuffs ahat the Al
lies can not produce for themselves.
Are we going to feed our army ON
chickens and eggs? or course not.
But by greatly increasing our pro
duction OF chicken and eggs, and by
eating those chickens and eggs our
selves We will, naturally, eat that
much less beef and pork. In turn,
that beef and pork can be sent to
Europe.
