 The entire design is a quiet, digni
 lied depletion of the dignity and worth of the American workman and the sha1e which the mtlition work man is taking in making possible the glory which ali Americans are eager ly waiting to see their chosen repre- sentatives in khaki win on the fields of France. That every one of tho workers who receives one of these handsome tributes will be proud, not only of the medal itself but the spirit Tor which it stands is assured, and this further testimonial of the fine sSir1t between the corporation and it's many workers means the forging of simply another link in that chain of
 loyalty and cordiality that exists be- tween this big plant of which New
 Haven is proud and it's loyal workers In all over 5000 medals of this tpye will be awarded by the Marlin Rock well corporation which plans to pres sent each worker as he or she reaches the three months period after the first
 general presentation with meda.
 also so that all may be remembered and the women workers as well as the
 men will be included in the distri-
 button which is planned for some day this week as the corporation reeob. ] nizes the fact that the work of the women is just as essential and just
 as important in carrying the arms oi America to victory as that of the mer and also quite as effective.

MANY WOMEN WILL
 WORK ON FARMS.
Steps Being Taken to Organize !; Wonan's Land Army in This State.

Many women will be working on the farms of Connecticut this summer be- cause of the active steps being taken to organize a woman's land army in this state. The committee on woman 8 activities of the Connecticut state council of defense has investigated the possibility of placing the women on the farms to meet the present labor short age and is now developing the organ ization plans.
 The investigation work was assign ed to a subcommittee the committee on food production and the organiza ton work now falls to an executive committee recently formed. Mrs. E. G. H. Schenck of Wilton is the Connecti- cut representative of the wonan's land capacity of chairman of the newly cre- ated executive committee.
 The other members are Leo A. Kor- per, state director of department of labor; Allen B. Lincoln. assistant di- rector department of labor; David El- der, special field representative of de- partment of labor; Miss M. Estelle Sprague. chairman of food conserva- tion, and Mrs. Joseph W.

TO START CONSTRUCTION | OF POWER PLANT.
Eastern Connecticut Power Company Will Build at Browning Beach.

The Eastern Connecticut Power company has acquired what is known
 as the Rogers farm at Browning Beach and will erect a large modern
 power plant on the property irnmedi-
 ately. Material and supplies are al-
 ready arriving or are on the way and
 construction work will start just as soon as the contract is signed. which
 will probably be some time this week
 This is the power plant which the company intended to erect at Thames vile. according to an announcement made some weeks ago, but for severe l important reasons it has been decided to build on the Rogers site instead One reason is that the plant will be located much nearer the sound and there will be less trouble getting coal to the plant by water in the winter,

WARNS AGAINST LOSSES
 BY FOREST FIRES
Many Serious HIazes Have Occurred During Last Ten Days.

Warning against the danger of se- rious losses by forest fires is given by State Forester W. o. Fflley. A state- ment issued by MT. Filly follows:
 The rank vegetation growth of 1917 mas produced great mass of inhama- ble material in the fields and woods throughout the state, and dry weather of the past twenty days has produced .he inevitable consequences in the l form of grass and brush fires Just at this season, cleaning up on the farms necessitates much brush burning and in many cases insufficient care Is exerciseds Carelessness with fire seems to be rampant, and during the last ten days many serious fires have occurred.
 Tt will be from four to six weeks
 before the new vegetation Is sufi-
 ciently far advanced to act as a check
 to the spread of fires and even though
 showers are frequent throughout the month of April, great deal of damage from fire is inevitable unless every precautton is taken to present it.
 Tt seems to me that widespread pub blieity should be given to the neces- s1ty for such care as a war measure Not only are the potential timber re-
 sources of the state in danger, but the
 supply of cord wood cut and stalked
 in the woods, inadequate at best tc
 meet the needs of another winter, is
 threatened with destruction to a con- siderable extent Furthermore, the
 expense of fighting unnecessary fire;
 and the utilization of men for this 2ur.
 pose is an unnecessary drain on tht
 money anI man power of the state
 when it is needed in other directions
 Fires cannot be allowed to burr
 without restraint, but they can bt
 largely prevented if proper care in thl
 Use Of fire is exercised. In my opinioI
 unnecessary burning of all kind, l shouldtbe discouraged and the enforce nent of all laws relating to fire shoult be insisted on.
 Magistrates and prosecuting off |. cials, in my opinion, should impose SC were penalties in every case of vio lation.
 :. William H. House, chief fire warde, In Meriden was present when MI Filley made his statement, and sai, that his experiences in Meriden dur ing the past five or six days leads hin to believe that unless the fire laws 0 this state are thoroughly enforce ,, large amounts of valuable timber wi ' be burned and that valuable natura ? fertility will be destroyed from pas 4 lures and meadows as the result C farmers burning over these pasture
 and meadows
 ] From reading bulletins from Il United States government. am sat ! isfed that the equal of s10 to $s0 .e acre in fertilizer is destroyed whe D burning a meadow said Mr. Hous' ]. He told of two recent fires on Lamen tation Mountain, Meriden, which az parently were caused by carelessnes ? Tn the first, 100 acres was hurne : over, and the second, covered aboJ . 1000 acres with damages estimated 2 2 $lo an acre.

Newspaper Announcements Sufficient,

During the past week several groc- CTS, cited before the Federal Food Ad- ministrator for excess sales of four and sugar, made the plea that they were mot notified" of the rules. T have seen it in the papers but I have not been officially notified7 one dealer said.
 Ignorance of the rules Is 10 excuse. When new laws are passed the gov ernnent does not notify every citizen of them and ignorance of them does not excuse violators. Announcement in the newspaper Of new rules is suf- ficient although the Federal Food Ad- ministratcF for Connecticut endeayors to send notice to the trades of all irn- portant rulings affecting them If a merchant is in doubt about any regur lations let him make inquiry of his To- cal war bureau.
