CANNING CAMPAIGN
To Be Started at oncs-Pledne Cards
 to Be Signed.

Mrs. RienA Robinson said Monday morning that the work of getting. the pledge cards signed in the drive that is to be made in this town to get wo- men to can foods will be started at once. Speakers have already brought attention to the subject in the churches and at the theatres, and the reasons set forth why the women of Killingly must can more food than ever before if they wish to avoid food shortage that will be certain next winter unless the summers opportunities for pre- serving perishable foods are made the most of. Sixty-fve per cent. of the normal amount, of goods canned. in this country will be taken this year by the government. This means that the stores will have only 35 cans of goods to offer the trade where in oth- CT years they have had a hundred It also means flat canning must be done at home, done in huge quantities and done with the spirit that is being ex- hibited in every line of useful indus try toward the winning of the war.
 The women of~Kil1ingly -areerequest- ed to can 50.000 quarts of food, vege- tables, fruits, etc, etc. To a patriotic woman this request will be consid- cred as little less than a command The nation is calling to them to build up the countrys food reserves, that the men who are fighting will be well fed and that there be enough food in every home to leave the market supply for other uses. z-1
 Too much food cannot be preserved for there will be opportunity to sell al. that cannot be used in the home. The market is fairly crying for it, and al good prices. =-s-C
