 The roll call was responded to by donation to the local Red Cross, | each doner telling How they came by l it." It was interesting to hearS the l ingenious and novel ways in which it i was earned. Some did it by the 1 sweat of their brows, some by denying \ their stomachs, others by cooking, making jellies, selling old clothes, S2s.
 A most excellent paper was read by Mrs. Cobb on Red Cross Work" Dr. c. c. Gildersleeve gave very in- 1 structive and learned talk on "Medi-
 cine and Surgery" telling of the mar 1 vicious skill of our American doctors 1 and that they are over the top of all other nations.
 Thirty five members of the Round l Table met with Mrs. Mary G. Webster at the preceding regular meeting. The 1 roll call was responded to by some up- lifting quotation. Rev. J. H. Newland' s 1 paper was "The / Worlds Religious Thought and was most scholarly and interesting and was listened to with i close attention. He scorned the idea that the German God was the true conception of the deity.
 i A most interesting debate followed Question, Resolved, That the advan- tages offered by the single life out treached those of matrimony. The
 judges rendered a verdict in favor of the defendants.

 PREPARE FOR THE CUSSED CUT WORM.
 The way to handle the pernicioue cutworm, says Supervisor Charles A Hagberg, is to scatter a poisoned bait on the ground a few days before set ting out tender plants or just as sprouting seeds are coming through l the soil. CutWorm 'food'' can be bought ready prepared or it can be | made according to the following for mn1a: One pound of wheat bran ol cornmeals one ounce of white arsenate or paris green, one-half cup of mo- lasses. the juice of half lemon and l tw opints of water. Distribute in smal
 particles where wanted
 Ordinary birch twigs or branches o1 i other deciduous trees or shrubs are tho

NO WOOD BY RAIL
 FOR MANUFACTURERS
Chairman Jensen Receives This Order
 from Fuel Administration.

Chairman Martin E. Jensen of the Norwich fuel committee has sent to all the manufacturers in the Norwich dis trict a copy of Bulletin No. B from the national fuel administration, through which manufacturers are ad vised that they may not use wood for fuel in excess of the fuel permitted by the fuel administrations order, pro- vided this wood does not require rail road transportation.
 The following is the notice: State Fuel Administrator Bulletin No. 5S.
 The following is a quotation from a letter received from the United States fuel administration at Washington: 'sTo State Fuel Administrators: The United States fuel administra- ton has decided that. in connection with the orders curtailing consumption of fuel, the manufacturers and pro- ducers of the various commodities may be at liberty to burn wood in excess of the fuel permitted by the order where this wood does not require rail road transportation.
 This last condition is essential. an6 permission should not be granted any manufacturer unless the wood to be used IS pfoCurdD1e Dy Otnef means. 1 I've desire, therefore, to grant any state fuel administrator authority tt
 extend such permission. but must asl
 that they make themselves responsible to police these cases. We shall refel
 such inquiries to the state fuel admin istrator with a statement that he ha.
 the power to authorize the use 0 l wood.
 There are two points which we de
 sire to emphasize:
 That this permission only applie
 to wood which can be brought in with
 out the use of railroad transportation "2-That the state administrator ii 1 held responsible to police these case
 and see that they do not burn mor, than their proportion of other fuel
 Very truly yours,
 United States Fuel Administration.
