Mrs. Oliver L. Johnson Deputy for
 New London County.

The house to house canvass for the Food for France Fund is now being carried On in Norwich. All through Connecticut the work is going on and Norwich hopes to contribute a gener- ous proportion toward this necessary object.
 Mrs. Oliver L. Johnson is deputy for New London county and assisting her in Norwich is the following com mittee of ladies: Mrs. Hugh H. Os- good, Mrs. J. Henry Selden, Mrs. Willis Austin and Mrs. Abner B. Hill. These and other ladies will solicit money to provide the actual necessities in the line of food for our French allies. AL ready voluntary and unsolicited con- tributions have been handed Mrs. Johnson to the amount of $37.
 It is guaranteed that absolutely no one receives a cent of commission and that no portion of any donation is re- served for any kind of administrative expense. Every penny will go into foodstuffs, bought under careful super vision and shipped direct to the French governme
 Do you know that when this country was fighting for it's liberty over 100 years ago France contributed S700, 000,- 900, asked one of the local workers Tuesday Think what the value of that would mean put into todays currency. We have the money, we have the food here; we must give, and give now, and keep on giving. We are allies.

WHY TELEPHONE OFFICE
 MOVE WAS MADE
A Step For More Economical Direct
 and Efficient Management.

The encouragement of our territory
 into two divisions, comprising the five telephone districts in our state and the assignment to new duties Of many | of the company's force in the field, which became operative July End, was | a step taken for the more economical, direct and efficient management of l the company's affairs in the commer-
 hal, traffic and plant departments, | says the August issue of The Tele- phone Bulletin.
 It was an organization plan adopted after long and thoughtful considera- tion and is in accord with the most approved systems of organization in force in other telephone companies similarly situated in respect to terri tory covered. In a general way the assignment to new duties of some of cur force was made solely to bring about a more smoothly operating bus mess organization. by placing these men. in positions for which each one
 is especially well adapted and in which each man will undoubtedly render to the company the fullest measure of his specialized ability. To the men in volved in the changes ordered by the cellent opportunity has been presented to display their full value to the com pany and that each will avail himself of this opportunity and make the most of it, no one will doubt,
 As is now generally understood throughout the field the changes were not generally in the way of promo tions or demotions for any of the men concerned except that the added responsibilities imposed on some of our force may be regarded as promo tions to positions of greater trust and and importance in the company's af- fairs.
 On the whole the new organization plan was designed and carried out with the modern business principle in mind of placing each of the employees involved. in a position where he will prove up to his full worth to himself and to the company
 Under the new organization in the field the state is divided into two do- visions, Western and Eastern, with MT. W. w. Knight, former district commercial manager of the New Ha- ven and Bridgeport districts appoint cd division commercial superintendent of the western division.

 This week MT. Browning is picking g some excellent eating peaches, of the Carman variety, of which he will have about 1,G00 baskets.
 The season has been a good one at Kitemaus. Tuesday MT. and Mrs Browning had as luncheon guests Mr and Mrs. Leonard H. Healey of North Woodstock, the former being secretary of the state board of agriculture MT Healey looked over the orchards ard pronounced them the best ne had seen this season.
 This Wednesday, afternoon MT. Browning has invited the irectors of the Norwich Chamber of Commerce to visit Kitemaug. and they will go down on the 2.45 trolley car from Franklin square.

Committee on Stocks of Department of Agriculture Asks Farmers About Various Products.

The fact that in some sections there is shortage of good seed while in others there is a surplus, makes it pos sible for the committee on seed stocks of the United States department of agriculture to help in the distribution of these surpluseS. The committee wishes, therefore, to locate all avail able stocks of good seed of agricul- tura1 crops, especially wheat, oats, rye, crimson clover Gin the hull or hulled) and hairy vetch. The committee will be glad if anyone, farmer or deale. will send information in regard to the quantities and prices of seed of the above sorts which he can offer for sale f. o. b. his shipping point, bags extra, or included, as the case may be. The information should give in each case the name of the variety (especially in the case of grain crops), condition of the seed as to purity, year grown, and the price. The committee will then undertake to get such information into the hands of those who want the seed The committee hopes that this request will receive wide circulation and an immediate response, as it is now time to get seed in the hands of planters for fall use Address committee on seed stocks, U. s. department of agri- culture, Washington, D. c.

Rev. Mc Mclean Goldie, former rector of Grace Episcopal church, Yan- tic, will soon leave for Russia where he will take up Y. M. c. A. work. The Service News. a paper published at Fort Terry. N. Y. has the following paragraph:
 Many of Mr. GoIdie's friends were on hand last Wednesday afternoon to bid him goodbye and good luck on his trip to Russia. It is certain that ev- eryone felt that they were losing a good friend for he surely had way apout him that won the good fellow snip of all and his leaving the work here is sincerely regretted
 The work in Russia that he is about to undertake is the most hazardous Of all the Y. M. c. A. fields. and will take him into untold hardships on the eastern front with the Russian armies where there are practically no com rorts or conveniences. Even the act ual necessities are very scarce as they were advised to take quantities of canned goods, chocolate, etc, with them.
 It is doubtful whether they cou1d have found better man for the work than Mir. Goldie. whose wide experi- ence IS a missionary in the Canadian northwest, India, and Australia has es- peciaily fitted him for work of this kind, and the hearty good wishes of the whole post for his success go with him.
