During the past few days Chas. L..
Ansley has traded to Geo. Walters a
farm 8 miles from the city on the
Lee street road, for Mr.. Walters
home place, which adjoins the farm
of~Mr Ansley. Mr. WalterslOilas in
turn sold to A. B. Connors the farm
which he got from Mr.. Ansley and
which was adjacent to the home place
Of Mr. Connors.
These deals give both Mr.. Ansley
and Mr. Connors two of the finest
and most desirable farms in all this
section, Mr.. Ansley's farm being just
nve miles south of the city and WITT
the main highway running exactly
through the middle of it, and Mr.. Con-
rors on the same road just nine miles
from the city.
1t is understood both deals involve
large sums. Mr.. Ansley will operate
his farm in conjunction with his
home place." and it is understood that
Mr.. Connors will do likewise.

eleven months contributed $313,O 900
and manufactured goods worth S44.-
oOO'OOo' and contributed to military
and civilian relief here asa abroad.
1t was the organization s;f1ich stimu-
lated over 100000 women to manu-

hospital supplies and bandages.
1t helped to mobilize an army of
Ie,OO0 nurses for war service, and
operated many hospitals, dispensaries,
asylums and food distribution agen-
c1es and canteens for the families of
European soldiers and for the sorry
refugees driven from their homes by
German incursions.
Through the home service and COM
m1nication branches of this organiza-
ton American people have done much
to keep the American soldier and his
family in close touch and have seen
to it that no family of man in Amer
ican uniform lacked for anything
which was in the ability of the Amer
lean people to supply. It's ,omfort-

In way, the roll call will be an I'M
usual test of the effect of the print
ed word. In the absence of personal
solicitation those iii charge of the
roll call are relying upon the informa-
ton supplied by the newspapers and
the appeal of advertisements, posters,
decorations, moving pictures and the
Red Cross symbol itself to draw every
American both as a mark of human
ity and as token of thanksgiving for
peace to enter into what President
Wilson designated as THE
Comradeship.'

with her efforts to win the war.
When a workman is idle the commu-

the cost of supporting him. 1t makes
no difference whether he is fed by rela-
tives or friends or in public institu-
ton or by unorganized charity or by
his spending part or all Of his savings
the double loss Is the same. Idleness
is the worst waste. We must practice
economy, but as President McGarrah
Of the Mechanics and Metals Bank of
New York says: all advised and i'm
petuous economy, meaning unemploy-
ment and closed factories, would be
demoralizing. 1t is evident to every
thinking man that business must be
sustained and the conversion Of indus
try carefully brought about whereby
the nations energies are transferred
from the satisfaction Of the needs of
the army and navy" Some of our i'm
portant Industries have already been
hurt by the negative economy which
he criticises. We must not weaken our
bodies and our finances by abstinence
born of panic.
II a man boards dollar or q bag Of
sugar 1t benefits no one while he holds
it. II he lends a dollar or gives or
sells the sugar to the government for
the prosecution of the war he helps the
nation. The hoarder Is worse than the
spendthrift. We must economize but
we must neither hoard nor remain idle.
Money wisely spent Is not wasted;
money spent for nonessentials Is put
to poor use, but remains In circulation.
Money boarded Is valueless while In
that condition. Let us keep money In
circulation and labor at wo:k. Let US
give preference to the requirements of
the nation, but keep labor employed In
some way until the government can
find work for ALL II Is unlikely that
the government can do that, so we
shall have surplus labor, including an
army of women, who can produce real
wealth for export and domestic trade.
The panic which obsesses the minds of
some officials, if allowed to spread, can
do more harm than an invading host

race for supremacy tn the sale OF
War Savings Stamps with a per ca.
pita of $3.12, closely followed by
Washington and Caledonia Counties
in the order named. The State per
capita sale is only $1.9S, mainly oc-
casioned by the poor showing of all
counties excepting the above named
which are the only ones to exceed
the three dollar mark.
Danville, Waterbury, Wallingford,

towns and cities, Waterbury continu-
ing her remarkable increase in sales.
