 Plans for junior agricultural army In Connecticut this summer were ad. vanced at meeting of principals of high and secondary schools ln the state held recently at tho state capitol in Hartford on invitation of Governor Marcus II. Holcomh and his new Con. necticut Committee of Food Supply. About fifty principals were present. and every one signed tho following pp. tition:
 "I believe that boys and girls In our schools should take some part in meet Ing the agricultural crisis that faces our state. I am willing to cooperate with the Connecticut Committee of Food Supply to the best of my hbii- ity"
 It was made clear at tho meeting that there would he large number of boys available for farm work in Connecticut this summer, and the food supply committee iS assuring the farmers of the state that they can SO cure their services hy making nppllcn. agents.
 It was made plain that agricultural service was equally important with military service nnd that every man not eligible for service in the army or navy could serve his country through food production work.
 The following proclamation to the pupils of Connecticut was issued by the committee of food supply:
 To the School Pupils of Connecticut.
 "Your country has declared war on the greatest military power of the world. Under the conditions of mod ern warfare the burden of the war Is and should be borne by all equally, according to his or her ability. There arke two things which your country needs most at this time-an army Nf men to fight and an army of people to produce food. Both are essential. It is just as much the duty of boy of less than military age to do his share as it is that of his older brother to enlist in the armed forces. Your conn- try faces a great shortage of food both for ourselves and to supply our allies during the coming year. One of the most important ways in which this shortage can be met is to increase the supply of labor necessary for the production of foodstuffs.
 'Now, therefore, we, the Connecticut Committee of Food Supply. ill accord ance with authority vested in us by his excellency Governor Marcus IT. Holcomb, under chapter A of the pub lie acts of 1917, do urge upon you the necessity and the opportunity to serve your country by enlisting for the pro- ductfon of food during the coming suR- mer season."

1'o tho question, If there were q siege, how long do you think the sol diers and civilians could live after the food supplies gave out?" an English paper answers: science tells us that If he can get drinking water an ordinary man can exist for thirty days without food. At the end of that time the ma- ehinety of tbe body will not be spoiled and can be brought back to it's former strength by careful feeding.
 About Il quarter of our body weight is fnt. nnd 1t is mostly this fat that is absorbed US food during the period of starvation. We can absorb and burn up our muscles until 60 per cent of their weight is gone. We can do the sanle with from 80 to 40 per cent of our flyers and digestive organs and 20 per cent of our lungs.

of Food Supply.
 At the present time no other factor in the national situation Is of greater importance than intelligent precautionary prepa- ration to secure the largest pos sible supply of foods. The short age of grains last year with an apparent shortage of wheat the coming year makes the situation serious in the extreme. The dec laratiOn of war and the with drawing of workers from their accustomed employments will in crease the difficulties of labor conditions. This year we will be called upon to feed other nations now at war if the conflict comes to an end soon. The demands upon us will be the greater if it should drag on through a longer period.
 Not more than one-fifth of the food we consume is produced within the limits of Connecticut, and we must rely upon the sur plus of other states. The small CT that surplus the greater the threat of scarcity for us. Con- mon sense therefore demands that we should produce the lar gest crops possible and utilize our lands to the utmost. We alone will be to blame if want should come upon us because we have not employed to the utmost our natural resources.
 I therefore under the power vested in me by chapter A of the public acts of 1917 hereby appoint the following: Joseph w. AlsOp of Avon, Clifford |. Stod- dard of Woodbridge. Charles T. Davis of MiddletOwn. R. w. Perkins of Norwich. Wilson II. Lee of Orange. Robert ScOville of Salisbury. William c. Cheney of Manchester, John r. Elton of Waterbury and George NJ. Lam ders of New Britain. all resi- dents of Connecticut, to be known as the Connecticut Com mittee of Food Supply. with power to act under my direc- tion with the view to increase and conserve the agricultural re sources of the state and with power to cooperate with other states and with the federal gov ernment and to do all acts nee essary to carry into effect the purposes for which this commit tee is established.

The fire broke out just after it had shut down for the night and the employees had left. AS nearly as could be observed it began in the picker building, quickly flashing through 8 passage-way into the card room in the main building, and within five minutes the entire building was hopelessly wrapped in flames and was entirely consumed, nothing of any account being saved. This is a hard blow to Staffordville. But one woolen mill now remains of the four built by the late Hon. E A. Converse, and that stands idle-the old Hope, now held under foreclosure of mortgage and for sale. Two double -tenement houses across the street from the mill were burned with it. The insurance upon the burned property was $60, O00- about two-thirds of its original cost.

After careful study of the states conditions and needs the Connecticut committee of food supply has announc- ed the plan by which the principal part of it's drive for increased produc. tion of food crops this summer will be made.
 The individual towns and cities are the units hy which the work will be undertaken. The town clerks of the towns will be the local agents of the committee in their several commuhl- ties. In the cities the chambers of commerce or some other bodies or in- dividuals designated by the mayors will direct the campaign.
 In every town in Connecticut where there is no city government the town clerk has received letter from Gov ernOr Marcus II. II0h.Omb appointing him the local agent in the good pro- ductiOn work and calling upon him for the fullest cooperation. The mayors of cities have received letters inform ing them of details of the campaign. asking for their cooperation and requesting them to designate local agents.
 The organization of junior agricul- tlral army. through the cooperation of the school principals. has been under taken and k expected to provide hun tIreds or competent SchoolhOyS to work in the fields of Connecticut farmers this summer
 Important Service to Nation.
 1t Is being pointed out by the com mittee of food supply that service in the production of food is as important tO the nation in the war as service in the munitions factories or on the bat tlefeld It is emphasized, however. that men not eligible for military duty are the ones wanted for the agri1Hs tural army. The movement is not to interfere with the armed forces of the nation. The man not eligible for mill tary or naval service or in the making of munitions or any other essential .Oc- cupation aiding the successful conduct of the war will be expected to do his bit' by active. positive aid in the pro- duction of food .
 The food supply committee will at tack its problem of increasing the states food production from every possible angle. It has announced em- phatically that 1t will in no way in. terfere with the many. organized local efforts throughout the state seeking to gain the same end. Its object, 1t Is declared. will he to encourage all these efforts and to coordinate the work throughout the state.

Sam Cundaerai, S21 Pearl street, had
a narrow escape from losing $500 to
a pick-poeket at the Northwestern
station at 1920 this morning when a
light fingered artist removed his wal
let from his pocket as he was waiting
the approach OF the south-b bound train.
Connolly, companion of Cunderai, saw
the theft ami the two men notified the
police at once. The pick-pocket, man,
in a gray overcoat and gray hat, about
$50 pounds in weight and smooth-faced,
had already started towards Chicago
when the police arrived but tele-
gram to the conductor made it possible
for the Chicago police to arrest him
and he is now held in that city await
ing investigation. Cunderai meanwhile
is lamenting the fact that his holiday
trip has been postponed and is anxious
ly awaiting the return of the roll.

"TEMPTATION TOO BIG"
SAYS BOY BURGLAR

Two fearful boy burglars found their
way into police court this morning
and plead for the mercy of the ofic-
ials as they unraveled the story of
their petty crimes. One, mere slip
of lad, barely past his thirteenth
birthday, told the police that he stole
because cit was great temptation. "
His employer, who runs a shoe shop
on the North Side had trusted the boy
to take care of the trade while he
went home to his meals and the thir-
teen year old was not strong enough
to resist the temptation of "knock-
ing down lin his own words
small sum of money. This boy, whose
first name is Charles, and who is not
entirely unknown to the police. made
matters worse this morning when he
failed to report as ordered by the
police.
The other boy burglar was arrested
for a theft of ten dollars from his
mother. Both boys were penitent and
profuse in promises and explanations
