The Continental
Fence Stay

Continental Fence Stays are to the
farmers even a greater invention than
woven wire fences because a few of
these stays will convert most any old
barbed wire fence into a fence every
bit as good for cattle, sheep and
horses as a woven wire fence.
There are many reasons for their
great popularity with all who have
used them.
Just stop to consider, Mr.. Farmer,
what it would mean to you if you
could tighten up your old wire fence
and at an expense of only from 3 to
10 cents per rod you could make as
good a woven wire fence of it as any
one has.
Do you know of anything you need
on your farm any more and that cost
so little as the Continental Fence
Stays?

10 INCREASE CLASS 1 IF POSSIBLE
Boards Are to Comb Over Deferred Classification Lists to See If More Men For Class Cannot Be Secured Glass in Norwich Has Still 100 Men Left Fit to Answer Any Call.

It may be that some of the Nor wich men now in deferred classifica- tions under the selective service act will be brought up into Class 1 dur ing the present month.
 In the endeavor to secure a greater number of Connecticut men available for immediate military duty, all local: exemption boards are to be directed soon during this month to devote an entire week to determining whether there may not be certain draft reg istrants outside of Class who should be placed in that class.
 Norwich still has about 100 men left in Class who are fit for call for immediate military duty. There are about 200 names in Classes 2, and 3 which might possibly be combed over to see if there might not be some of these deferred clafsiification men available for inclusion in Class 1.
 Norwich has already sent out from 500 to roo men from the 5000 who were registered and the balance of the registrants are practically all in Classes 1 and 5. the married men with dependents and those deferred for in- dustrial reasons.
 For the coming time when the lists will be gone over again every local board and legal advisory board and government appeal agents will be in

The Connecticut State Council of Defense has received copies of a res olution adopted by the Council of De fense and it's advisory commission urging an immediate and concerted effort on the part of citizens for econ- ioiay as an important step in the prose- cution of the war
 The resolution, which declares ev- eryone should practice self denial in dress, food and manner of living, is signed by the members of the Coun~ cii of National Defense and the Ad visory Commission The resolution reads as follows:
 ''Tjss Council of National Defense and the Advisory Commission of the council believe that a concerted effort for economy by the people Of the na- ton will not only go far toward pay ing Americas expense in the war, but will also reduce consumption of raw and manufactured materials essential to the conduct of the war.
 The council urges all to refrain from unnecessary expenditures of eV- cry kind, and to bear constantly II mind that only one thing is now oi real importance. and that is the win ming of the war It is nose creditablt for every one-man and woman, boy ana glrl-to be economical in dress food and manner of living Every evi- dence of helpful self-denial on the part of all in time like this is most commendab1e.
