Let the Oil Cook Stove Do It

There's no need to burn up your strength over kitchen drudgery. It takes eenrgy to cook meals, but it ought to be heat energy, not human energy.
 You don't do all your own cooking on the New Perfection-the Long Blue Chimney does it for you No coaling up, no shaking down: no soot no ashes, no fussing. Visible flame al- ways-steady ways. Easy to light and cooks fast or slow as you like. The stove of steady habits.

These are days for optimism. Went you help the good cause along?
 We must sacrifice cheerfully. give freely, live happily. Long faces are not for us because we're fighting a winning fight. Patriotism is made of willing doing not grudging obedience.
 So let us give every assistance we can, smilingly. going about our affairs with vigor, living sanely and sensibly; spending wisely.
 For after all, we are suffering no great hardships. Necessary economies will teach us the value our earnings and every one of us will be happier if all of us are cheerful. "Blues" and doubt cannot exist when optim- ism reigns.

CANNING PLEDGES FEW.
Women Not Showing Patriotic Enthu.
 siasm Hoped For.

The signing of canning pledges is not being received by the women of Killingly with the enthusiasm hoped for by the women who have the cam paign in charge, it was stated Sunday afternoon by Mrs. Rienzi Robinson, chairman in charge of the work in this town. This does not mean that many patriotic women have not signed pledges to can large numbers of quarts of foodstuffs. as an insurance against a food shortage next winter merely that some women have become possessed of the idea that, when their work is completed, the government is to step in and seize their products, an idea that is wholly erroneous. The government has no such intention, as has been stated through hundreds of publications hundreds of times.
 The attitude of some women has been little less than unpatriotic here in Killingly, for they have made it very clear that they are not at all in terested in responding to the govern ment's call for the building up of a | food reserve. Why should the gov 1 ernment ask us to sign pledge cards and even put down the number of cans we fill unless the government | intends to take the products away from | us?" these women ask
 The answer is that the government | has right to know what the coun- try's food reserves are that as much as possible out of the nations general | supply may be set aside for the na- | tion's armies and the armies of the | allies, but it does not follow that the | government will go into the homes to | seize foodstuffs constituting a special reserve upon which families may draw 1 1lYn 4n 1 compete for shares of food with the millions who are not in a position to 1 do canning.
 The truth is that the canning cam l paign is falling down" in many sec | tions of Windham county. The present prospect is that Killingly will not come l even within reasonable distance of it's
 allotment of 50,000 quarts. The women
 are faltering before the task assigned
 them, while their sturdy male relatives and friends continue to pour into can- | comments to make ready to fight the
 nations battle and more than million
 more of the nations sons are on the 1 fighting front in France.
 Mrs. Robinson, as another side ot tthe picture, made mention of inter-
 viewing one Kiflingly woman of slen- der means, a woman who has found life's battles hard and who has labor
 ed through years sufficient to have
 their marks of toll left permanently
 upon her. She was asked to sign pledge card. T will do the best
 can," she said T can't afford to dc
 all I should like, but I'll sign a pledge
 for 15O quarts. and I'll keep it if
 have to go out and pick berries to fl
 the necessary number of jars"
 There is yet time for many to emu
 late this woman's example, for there
 are many weeks ahead in which can,
 ming may be done.
