URGES WOMEN TO
 SIGN HOOVER PLEDGE
Campaign in This State Will Close on
 Next Saturday.

M. Estella Sprague, chairman of the Committee of Food Conservation, State Defense Council, has sent out the fol- lowing letter to the women of the state:
 Many women of Connecticut have signed a Hoover Pledge Card but there are yet hundreds who have not done so. I am very sure if women only realized what a help this will be to to the Food Conservation Committee, the Committee of Food Supply of the State Council of Defense and the Connecticut Agricultural college, they would gladly sign at once.
 Let me say first there is no string c fany kind tied to the pledge. You need have no fear that this will be fol- lowed by an attempt to dictate the mana cement of your household. The Food Administration wish to have some definite response from the women of the country that they may determine whether or not the women are be- Lind the Federal government.
 All women who are true Americans are behind the Food Conservation movement as they are behind all Just and sane movements. They have demonstrated this by the work which they have done in the Red Cross, Lib erty Loan and other War Relief move ments.
 The Women's Committee, Food Sup ply Committee and the Connecticut A agricultural college are planning bull ietins, leaflets, demonstrations, etc, and reports received from those who have distributed and signed thoge pledges will greatly aid in this work.

OUTRAGING THE SETTLERS

The settlers out in the Sweet Sage
country are still engaged in litiga-
tion over their homes, and if some
writer wants subject in which to
bring out the difficulties that can be
inflicted upon settlers by taking ad-
vantage of the technicalities of the
law, he can find ample material by
visiting among them long enough to
get the ins and outs Of their troubles
in that line for the past ten years.
They are isolated from county
seats, have been legislated into and
out of various counties, are a long
way from land offices, and If anyone
wanting to embarrass them or cause
them the loss of hundreds of dollars
he can do so by merely filing some
sort Of complaint or protest requir-
ing an answer within certain time,
and all hands have to leave their
work and pike out across sixty miles
of desert enroute to the place where
'cussedness' and needless suffering
and embarrassment prevails.

make very desirable and attractive
christmas presents, because of the
fact that they encouraged savings
and the savings of the people are
eSsentil in winning the war. They
chn be purchased now and will save
worry later on, and there is no doubt
that anyone would be pleased to re-
Iceive Christmas present of one or
more of these stamps.
For those who do not desire to
purchase a war-savings certificate at
present, thrift stamps are on sale at
25 cents each and may later be ex-
changed for stamps of the larger
denomination.
War-savings certificate stamps,
now costing $4.12, will be redeem

There Is another factor that will

that is If the people who are using
furnaces in business houses and their
home will use mine run coal. By
the first of January a majority of
the sugar factories in this state that
are now using large tonnage of
what is called slack, will have COM
pleted their work. This slack or
screenage comes from prepared coal
that is used largely for domestic pur-
poses. l am advised that mine run
coal properly handled is fully as eff
ficient in heat value. and at less
cost than prepared coal.

conditions would be so improved that
the needs of the people would soon

largely thru the efforts of w. W..
