Norwich, Norwalk, Goshen and Washington. In every case the food depart 9'ent, the Connecticut Agricultural college and the farm bu- reaus have worked hand in hand. The ehIef thought of these unified agen- eies has been first of all to emphasize the necessity fer increased food pro- duetien ip all it's various phases and in the secohd place to illustrate food conservation in its many ramifieatiens
 One outstanding feature of the Nor Wieh fair was the hoys and girls ex- hihit which was conceded by every one to be the best ever made in the state. A big 30x60 tent was turned over to
 the Junior Food Army and assistant club leader, Miss Helen Boian, was de- tailed to take charge. The demon stfatiens given were ereditable enough
 for any fair, and this was not all. The
 boys and girls overfiewed into an-
 other tent for a big display of pigs

 shires- County Agent Warmers dairy herd demonstration had universal ap-
 plication. It was a simple lesson in farm accounts. Complete records of three Ayrshire cows in the herd of J. D. Avery of North Stonington showed that one COW paid a profit of s1ss dur ing the year; the second COW turned in only STA while the third showed a net loss to the owner of $S and yet these cows were all. the same breed. handled on the same farm and fed in the same way.

ton for it. There are hundreds Of SER
iously crippled men now holding down
Jobs of Importance. Other cripples can
do likewise, if given the chance. !.
In the light Of results already attained
abroad in the training of disabled SOL
diers, the complete elimination Of the de-
pendent cripple has become a construc-
tive and inspiring possibility.
Idleness is the great calamity. Your
service to the crippled man, therefore, is
to find him a job, and encourage him to
tackle it.
Demand of the cripple that he gets
back in the work of the world, and you
will find him only too ready to do so.
For the cripple who is occupied is, in
truth, no longer handicapped.
Can the cripple soldier-or the indus
trial cripple as well-count on you as
true and sensible friend?
