Greater Part of Story Product o
 Imagination.

Investigation shows that the greater part of the story about the discovery of a wireless plant at Noank and It's dismantling by representatives of the United States navy was the product of imagination. The only truthful thing about the rumors is that an old plant was found, but 1t was not in shape to operate and even when it was in good condition it could only cover a very short distance.
 The statement that three men had been arrested were entirely false, as all of the persons who were mentioned q in the rumors, Otto Schramm and his two sons, Otto, Jr, and William, were at liberty Tuesday morning. the father being at his home and the sons al work.
 The residence of the Schramms Is on what is known as Brooks street, village of Noank. It sets back some distance from the road and is almost entirely concealed by large trees. It Is about half a mile east of the top of Fort Hill.
 Otto Schramm is considerably work ed up over the publicity that he and his sons have received and was not in a mood 10 discuss the matter.
 Mir. Schramm said that A member of the Naval Reserve. in passing through the woods which surround the house, Sunday, saw the aerial of a wireless plant on the roof of the shop near the house. The sailor took part of the plant away with him and that fact, connected with the suspicious that have been aroused by the strange lights that have been seen in the vi cinity, by watchmen of the New Lon % don Ship and Engine Co. furnished the basis for the story which grew in detail as 1t was passed along until it plant had been dismantled and three men arrested.

 Waste of Food Supplies.

In response to the country's appeal to women to enlist in the food conser- vation army the Community Canning organization organized by Mrs. J. J. Desmond will endeavor to do their bit and prevent the waste of food sup plies.

 IL is for the prevention of this very thing that the local club has been or ganized to take care of the surplus the part of the committee and should have the assistance of all patriotic housewives in the community. The board of education has generously dO- mated the use of the domestic science room at the Broadway school to the club. Miss Grace F. Rogers will have charge of the actual canning and will be assisted by a young woman who is now taking a course in canning at do canning in her home may bring her materials to the club and have them preserved at the least possible ex- pense.
 Farmers and gardeners unable to dispose of the produce will find ready market for it at the club.
 The financial end of the club will goods eventually, but a working fund is necessary and to this end subscdip- tons will be solicited and on Thurs day afternoon garden party will be given at the home of Mrs. John Stein CT for the benefit of the club.
