hundreds.

Upon the farmers of this
country in large measure rests
the fate of the war and the fate
of the nations.
Il call upon young men and
old alike to turn in hosts to the
farms.
Il appeal to farmers of the
south to PLAN abundant food

This is the time for America
to correct her objectionable
fault of wastefulness and ex-
travagance.
These things we must do and
do well, besides fighting-the
things without which mere
fighting would be fruitless."

C1ERKIN's CLOSE CALL.
Local Sailor Aboard Vessel Attacked
 by German Subnaarine.


 James Clerkin, son of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Clerkin of Elm street, is spending a short furlough at his home after a trip across the Atlantic Ocean that was filled with thrills. The ship bearing the local sailor docked at ports in England and France. It was on the second voyage that the crew was given an experience that will serve as a remembrance for some time. Along toward evening on one of the days while in the danger zone, the captain sighted a submarine about -four miles away. A few minutes later a torpedo was seen travelling toward the 4American ship, when suddenly, it diverted from it's course and missed the boat. In an exchange of shots by the crew of both boats, the coming tower of the Hun craft was destroyed ~
 The crew of the ship had a marrow escape from figuring in the Halifax disaster, having but recently left the scene of the greatest catastrophe in recent years. Scenes published Of the ruins of Halifax are readily identified by Clerkin who has travelled through Halifax quite extensively. Prior to entering active service. Cierktn was a member of the Naval Militia Of Hart ford. Es

 TObin Sends Letter to Relatives


 Tobin Sends Letter to Relatives Maintaining Innocence.
 Though he verbally denied until the i. last that he was guilty of tho crime for which he forfeited his life in state prison at Wethersfield early Friday morning, William J. Wise went still further in his protestations of inno- cence by sending a letter to his rela- tives in which he maintained that he did not slay Mrs. Anna Bacon Tobin. The letter was written in Hebrew. and was handed to Rabbi Elias Rosen- berg, the local spiritual adviser of the dead man, for deliverance to Wise's family in New York. :
 The letter translated is as follows:
 Dear Father, Sister and Brothers:
 ''The fact that have been.the cause of your suffering affects me more keenly than the loss of my unworthy life. I assure you, and believe me, that I am not murderer and not guilty of the crime for which am to die. However, dear father, had fol lowed the teaching of my beloved mother I would never have come to this end. r.-'.-rs .... .s-s'.
 There is only one thing I beg of you-that you, according to our GUS tom-pray for my soul. I embrace you in pirit and may you always en- joy good health. Urge Louis and Da- vid to follow the paths of our God that they be not led into mptation. Dear father, the law of Moses is that he who has any relations with an- other mans wife deserves to meet dis honorable death. Therefore I must expect death. f,~

 Reds Select Emergency Infielder.

Numerous sport writers throughout the country are busyingI themselves during the off-season by sending William l.. Kopf into the service of the United States While the local big leaguer may in time eventually wear the colors, he has not as yet enlisted, according to his closest friends.
 These wild yarns have evidently reached the ears of the owners of the Cincinnati Reds of the National league with the result that players are being secured to fill in the emergency. The latest player to aft1x his J. H. to a Cincinnati contract is Russell Black burne, the former White Sox infielder. Should Kopf escape the draft, Black burne's chances of landing a steady berth are improbable .4.
