 Home Gardens at FitehviiIe.
 A trip through the country in the early evening, especially through mill villages where there are progressive people at the head of the manufactur- ing establishments, show that there are no slackefs when it comes to att tending to the community gardens such as have been given to the em- ployes of Palmer Bros. in Fitchviile, north of the village. A lot containing several acres was prepared for the people and sections divided off and the result of the work after mill hours Is such that most of the families will not have to depend on outsiders for their winter store of vegetables.

FREE CANNING PRIVILEGES.
Domestic Science Department of High School at Disposal of Women Jams and Jeliies Needed for France.

All day today and tomorrow after noon the domestic science department at the high school, will be open for those who are interested in aTaiiing g themselves of it's use to do canning. This is in the line with establishing the center previously mentioned. An invitation has been extended to laI in tereSted women to attend and to bring the products which they wish to can.
 Relative to the jams and jellies wanted for the soldiers in France, the following was given out Tuesday:
 A requenst has been received from Miss Rose Dwyer, the expert on men ingitis and nerve shock. for jeiles and jams for use in France. Miss Dwyef has been asked by the federal govern ment to undertake a mission to France to work among the soldiers and civil ianS who are suffering from nerve shock. She writes that the most inn portant food in these cases is sugar and that without sufficient sugar there can be little hope of recovery. The eases are not alone among the sol- diers. They include many pitiful cases among the children of the ravaged regions of France. Miss Dwyer can secure the transportation of the jelly and jam to France. and she asks that each woman, in putting up these pre- serves, set aside jar for these pitifui cases of nerve exhaustion and nerve shock. Women having jam or jelly to donate can either take or send it lO suffrage HoduQudTIeTS LII F1drIIOr0, or if this is inconvenient they can communicate with the. chairman of their county or the president of the nearest equal suffrage league and some plan for the collection of sucre jams and jellies will be devised and carried through by the central war work com mittee.
 At the high school, in the domestic science room, there is on exhibition at present quantities of beans. peas, fruits and many other products that have been canned or otherwise pre- served by the young people who have been taking course there this season.

MANY HAVE ENLISTED
Consequently Town Should Get Of
 Easy on the First Draft.

While the local exemption board is without information on the point, the press dispatches from Washington in- dicate that enlistments recently made in the regular army or national guard will be deducted from any quota that q district is designated to fill under the draft system.
 If this be true, this town should get off easy on the first draft, for many have been furnished for the branches of the service mentioned. Enlistments have been very heavy, too, in Putnam, but the remainder. of the towns in the district - Thompson. Woodstock, 51astford ard Ashford have not made much of showing in furnishing vol unteers. Tn view of this fact. the question arises. do these last mention ed towns get the benefit of the enlist roents furnished in KillingIy and Put nam or will Woodstock Thompson, Eastford and Ashford be required to furnish most Of the men called under the draft?
 The question is an interesting one if considered on the basis of an equal distribution of the do-youf- bit plan
