dream TO behold ii.
Fate was Kind and fortune favored.
landing me en- its shores some weeks
ago. But alas | know no more OF its
Seauteous wonders than II | were yet
on the mainland. because my gaze has
never wandered far from the knitting
needles.
True your charming people hospit'
ably welcomed and cheerfully handed
me needles and wool, accompanied
thereby with printed instructions for
socks.
SO far my visit to Hawaii has been
one continuous round Of the needles
Not that mind doing my bit but time
is f!eeting and | want to see the Pail
SO sad to return with memories OF
naught but ball Of gray yarn.
Last night after knitting Until my
poor brain seemed snarled up into
as many stitches as the sock, sleep
refused to come TO my sOCk-incrusted
vision. Out of the chaos of socks and
homesickness | arranged the follow
ing lines. Won't you please give them
a tiny space in your valuable paper!
They might help some other weary
knitter.

TELEPHONE SOCIAL.

The young ladies, some fifteen
in number, Of the Telephone Ex'
change of this city have begun to
hold at the close of each week, a
social for telephone employees.
After 9 P. M. on last Satur.
day a very interesting and de
lightful one was held in their
pleasant and comfortably appoint
ed rest room. At some, or rather
many of these meetings regular
course of instruction in the work
is given.
One need not imagine that all
an operator has to do, is to sit al
board and ask, NUMBER waiting?
answer? Like all other occupations
of this day and generation it takes
instruction, and time to make ETH
cient operators. At the Saturday
evening meetings questions are
asked and answers given, helpful
suggestions offered and accepted,
ideas advanced and, every method
which tends to better and facill
tate the services of the switch
board girl Is brought forward.
At the meeting of last Saturday
it was purely social and 'sSchool
didn't keep" on that evening.
The girls donned their best III
honor of the occasion. They were
bright and attractive looking,
alert and keeney alive TO every
thing-just what q really good
set of oper ators ought to be
There was the "long girl, short
girl, the thin girl and fat girl"
each, with an attraction peculiar to
herself. Such a happy set.
One could not help seeing and re

For those whom we shall never see.
Remember when your fingers pause,
That every drop of blood to stain
This Wilderness falls for You and Me.
Part Of the price that keeps US free
Toserve our Own, that keeps US clean
From shame that other women know.
Oh Saviour we have never seen,
Forgive US that we are so slow!
God ,lfthat blood should cry in vain,
And we have let our moment GO!

ON LOYALTY OF NEGROES.

Current issues of The Tidings, ofi- cial publication of Tillotson College at Austin, Texas, an institution in which the late Rev. Dr. J. w. Cooper of this city was prominently interest ed and in which residents of New Britain are supporters. were received today. Prominent mention Is made of editorials relative to the alleged disloyalty of the negroes as a result of tampering by the Central Powers. Located in the heart of the colored belt of the south, the spirit of loyalty to the Stars and Stripes. as noted by northern white teachers of the ne- groes is strongly reflected. Dr. Isaac M. Agard, president of the institu- tion, for 20 years principal of the Rockville high school and superin- tendent of schools in that city, with Mrs. Agard are expected to be visitors in New Britain about June 1, the former planning to speak on southern conditions in at least one of the local churches. For twelve years he has been at the head of the Texas institu- tion.

Which Provides Severe Penalty For
 Those Who Interfere With Work.
 George M. Landers. a member of tho Connecticut Committee of Food Supply and also a member of the mu-, nicipal farm committee, two organiza- tions who aim to increase the food supply of the state and city, informed the members of the local committee last night that positive steps have al- ready been taken by the state legis- lature to protect all farms, both state, municipal and private, from thefts and other depredations. The legisla- ture has passed strict law making it a crime for anyone even to trespass on farm gardens and maximum pen- alty of $100 fine, six months in jail or both has been provided. MT. Lam ders expressed the opinion that the very first transgressors of this law will be severely dealt with by the po- set an example and discourage any further molesting of gardens.
 Tho bill as passed provides, If any
 person shall during the time of the
 war, either upon 8 field, garden or
 land of; another. sown, planted or cul- tivated with grain, vegetables, fruit articles of food or substances used in the preparation of food, with intent to retard or injure the growth of prduct or. the soil of such field, gar den or land, he shall be fined not more than $10O, or, be imprisoned not ex. ceeding six months, or both."
 1 This rule, the committee agreed will serve to Drotect the municipa l farm to . great extent and should dis l courage any vandalism of maliciousl, l disposed persons.

 The common council, at its ad- journed meeting last night, voted in favor of appropriating 5000 to be used for the municipal farm in Stan ley Quarter, thus supporting the mayors plans and following the rec ommendation of the board of finance which agreed to the appropriation on the estimate that this money will be returned from the sale of crops.
 Rules were suspended and the dis cussion of the project was informal. Mayor Quigley explained what has already been done and outlined the tis said that while the idea of the plan is most commendable he did not care to vote in favor of it for several reasons. In the first place he did not think the plan was strictly in accord with the law and in the second place he opposes on general principles all municipal projects. Also, he said he expects that before the summer is
 
 the council seeking an additional ap. propriation Alderman Paonesst made strong plea in favor of the municipal farm and Alderman May although he was in favor of the gen. eral idea, wanted to be assured as te the method of crop distribution.
