Suppose the war goes on three, FIVE
or seven years? Have fathers and
mothers thought that it is possible for
lads all the way from eighteen to four

our forces and our resources into the

across with financial help is just as
much of Stacker as the one who side

 It was a matter of comment Tues day that nothing is being done here to give the boys a send-off, though smaller towns hereabouts that have members in the Thirteenth Company already have given such affairs for them.
 Some members of the company all ready are expressing appreciation of comfort bags given them by Daniel son women and women in surround ing towns. These little bags are all that their name implies-neat little bags filled to their utmost capacity with things that a soldier always finds of great use in the field, but tons. needles, thread and a score of other articles. Some of the boys received with a fondness that should be full reward to the donors.
 Hail Storm Hit Here.
 Hail stones as large as English wal nuts broke scor9s of panes of glass in many buildings about town in the terrific storm of Tuesday afternoon. On Franklin street near St. James school a giant tree was blown over by the gale. The limbs were torn from trees. poles and wires were blown down, and large damage done to gar den crops.

 Sheets of rain swept hither and thither by the yigor of the accompany ing gale combined with the other phe- nomena to make as spectacular storm as the people of this city have wit messed for many years. Monday af- go, was a miniature affair compared with that of Tuesday.
 The big barn on the s. Nikoloff place on the Pomfret road was struck by lightning and burned to the ground Tuesday afternoon. Two horses and a COW died in the fire and 30 tons of newly cut hay were destroyed. An- other shaft of lightning struck a big rec near the house, but the house it. self was unchanged.

 Garden crops. on the strength of early reports. were quite badly dam aged by the storm, especially corn, whole fields of which were leveled by the beating of the downpour of rain driven before the heavy gale.
