At a fifteen minute caucus in the town hall Thursday evening the re- publican voters nominated city off, cers for the election to be held on June 4. The caucus was a very har- n1onious one, there being no contests. There was good sized representation of republicans in the hall when the caucus was called to order as the clock was striking eight, by Frank H. Smith, chairman of the republican town committee.
 Judge Henry H. Pettis was chosen moderator and took the chair amidst burst of enthusiasm. Judge Pettfs, in a brief speech, made reference to the caucus of year ago and said the repu blieans of Norwich were proud of the record made by the men whom they elected last June. He said that Norwich is better and cleaner because of the men nominated and elected 12 months ago. In conclusion he said he believed the citizens of the city will place the same confidence in the party that they did year ago.
 On motion of Frank L. Arnold the caucus chose for clerk Charles S. Hoi- brook. After the clerk had read the

 eff this is true" declared Judge Bur pee, Germany win win the war. If we cannot feed England and France to considerable extent. Germany will win" He said that was the impor- tance of the great food campaign which has swept across the country and claimed that if the country did not help the allies in this manner our attempts would be futile.

FALL COMPANY TO
 PROVIDE GARDEN PLOTS.
Several Large Tracts Are Now Being
 Flowed for Benefit of Help.

The Falls company are blowing sev-
 eral large tracts of land which have
 been divided up into home garden plots
 for the benefit of the mill employees.
 The Use of the iand is given the em-
 ployes free of charge for the season.
 This is in line with similar move
 ments inaugurated by other local and
 state industries. The Falls company,
 it was learned on Thursday evening,
 is making plans for the opening of a
 day nursery, where mothers who wish
 to work in the mili may leave their
 babies in safe care throughout the day.
 John Humphrey secretary of the
 New London Chamber of Commerce, has issued the following statement, concerning the home garden move
 meht:
 The so-called home garden move
 nent is in reality a national move
 ment under the supervision of the
 national government, the direct super
 vision being under the county agent, who is a government enploye as well
 as a state and county employe. It is a war measure, the main purpose be-
 ing to increase the food production of
 individuals. With this principle in mind the Chamber of Commerce
 aimed to get working Immediately as
 many efficient adult men, heads of
 families, possible. Some have olubbed
 together, preparing the ground them selves, secured through the chamber and are now working more or less in dependently of the chamber; other clubs are working on comparatively
 large tracts, plowed and prepared by the chamber. Approximately SO men
 have been placed in this way, already.
 Since the home gardening work was not taken up by the chamber until it's A pril meeting and at first thought of mainly as a backyard and school proposition, this shows very com mendable progress. Probably as many more will be assigned in a few days. Everyone realizes the great diff1- culty in getting help of any kind and particularly for such work as blow ing; hence when the chamber offered to provide land ready prepared to applicants aplications came in great numbers and are increasing daily. The number will soon reach into the l1undreds-f1ot children, but adults. As in other war measures they were not prepared for such an invasion. Every effort was made and is being made to get teams for blowing and 8
 many as possible were and are being employed. The whole enterprise has taken on much larger proportions than was anticipated, but as new de- mands arise they will be met. In the meantime unassigned applicants for land and the public generally are asked to consider what we are all up against in this country, to be patient If things do no go just to their t1o tion, and to help and be ready to do their bit.
