It is organized work, however, as groups are more efficient than in diViduals.
 When we copsider that instead of the normal food supply sufficient for eighteen months usual at this time we have only three months stored up we can see the need of emergency measures. Add to that the fact that we must feed England and France and the need becomes even more apparent for the coming year.

flash and the other linemen, g.ancing over to the pole, saw Rydholm's body in flames.
 Lineman Fred Robinson, a fellow worker, who was on the ground, hur- ried to the top of the pole ahead and cut the primaries, which shut off the current. He then went up the pole on which Rydholm's body was hanging and placed ropes about him and the unfortunate man was then lowered to the ground. Terribly burned and un- conscious. he was hurried to the Backus hospital in the auto ambulance. He regained consc@ usness for a short time, but throughout the day his con- dition grew steadily worse, and death came a E2.4O o'clock this morning.
 MT. Rydholm was native of Thompsonville, this state, and was born on Aug. 5, 1889. For some time past he had made his home in this city and resided at 292 Laurel Hill avenue. He is survived by a wife and one child.

 MT. Rydholm, who for the past four weeks had been in the employ of the gas and electric department of the city of Norwich, was sent up the pole by Line Foreman Philip Whaiey for the purpose of making a gain for a cross arm. Other linemen in the employ of the department were working on Com rnerce street changing over wires, and it was necessary to have this cross arm on the pole on which Rydholm was working.
 Rydholm climbed to the top of the pole and took up a position among the numerous wires. the upper pair of which carry 2,300 volts and are prac- tically bare. The lineman was wo:k- ing with unusual care, as he realized the seriousness of his position, and was wearing rubber gloves to protect his hands against contact with a high tension wire.
 None of the other linemen saw Rydholm when he came in contact with the deadly wires. He was thrown heavily against the wires, so that his body hung over them. As his body touched the wires there was a bright
