SAY PEOPLE MUST
USE SUBSTITUTES
FOOD ADMINISTRATOR ISSUES
ORDER TO ENFORCE ALL
FOOD REGULATIONS

People must buy and use all sub
products. The flour situation is crit
ical. Some one is going to suffer if
the rules are not obeyed. From Wash
ington come urgent requests that
wheat and wheat substitutes be saved,
that no new contracts be made by the
mills and that all of the flour be saved
this it is absolutelN necessary to use
substitutes for flour.
H. D. Martin, county food adminis-
traitor, asks The Star-Mirror to again
print and the people of Latah to obey
this rule, which is Imperative:
"In every instance before making
satisfy himself by a certificate in
writing, that the customer must buy
one or more of the officially designat-
ed substitutes at the time of the sale
of flour in proportion of one part of
substitute to two parts of flour"
Mr. Martin says that many mer-
chants and customers have thought
that the proportion was one-third as
much substitute as flour, but the Ian
guage is plain, it is one-half In other
words if you buy 50-pound sack of
flour you must buy 25 pounds of the
substitute. This rule is going to be
enforced, Mr.. Martin says, and vio-
lators will be vigorously prosecuted.

SUBJECTS FOR ARBoR
 AND BIRD DAY
Tree Planting, Protection of Forest
 and Bird Life.

Copies of the 1918 Arbor Bird day manual, published by the state board of education, have been received in this city.
 The observance of Arbor and Bird day each year has two purposes.
 To lead to the conservation and in- crease of bird life and tree and plant life; and to stimulate love. of nature and enjoyment of natural beauty.
 This year the experience of a world at war and the experience, so recently past. of an unusually severe winter in this country teach us that we must en1 phasize more than ever before the economic need of trees. shrubs and vegetable life and of birds
 While we should not feel any less joy in the coming of spring or any less appreciation of natures charms, we must dwell more upon the needs of fu- man life, and upon the contributions made toward those needs by trees and birds.
 The general subjects suggested fol Bird and Arbor day, 1918, are there fore. Thee planting for useful as wei as ornamental purposes, protection ot forests from insect foes, from blight from forest fires, and from waste 1T cutting; protection of bird life, by the teaching of the economic value O. birds by providing nesting places, by providing water when needed, by tht | teaching of love of birds

FORMER NORWICH MAN
 KILLED IN HARTFORD
Cornelius Shannahan Struck by Fly. ing Piece of Steel.

A flying piece of steel, entering the left eye of Cornelous Shannal1an, formerly of this city and penetrating the brain caused death a half hour later in St. Francis hospital, Hartford, Wednesday morning.
 Shannahan was employed in the drop forging department of the Pratt 6 Whitney company, and was engaged. at 7.30, in lining up dies under a drop hammer. He was holding a 'key" strip of steel about nine inches long and an inch and half square, against die. A helper was striking the end of the key with a sledge hammer. Several blows had been given when a chip broke away from the steel head of the hammer and entered Shanna- hans eye. He fell over and soon became unconscious. He was re- moved at once to the hospital.
 At the factory it was said that the repeated blows with the sledge had probably crystalized the steel and further blows caused tEe chip to fly off.
 MT. Shannahan was born in Ireland about thirty years ago. He went from | Ireland to Australia and came tc | Norwich about six years ago His only relative in this country is an aunt Mrs. Kelley, of Asylum street, this | city.

ARRANGEMENTS COMPLETE FOR
 LIBERTY LOAN RALLY
U. s. Marines Will Participate in the
 Parade Saturday Night.

Arrangements for the big Liberty loan rally. which is to be held Satur- day evening in the Town hall hayf been practically completed and every thing points toward a huge success Previous to the meeting there will be one of the best parades seen in this city in a long time. The committee has been exceedingly fortunate in se- curing company of United States Marines from the submarine base. The marines will bring one of their own bands which is considered one of the best in the service.
 Besides sending the marines Com mander Rogers of the base has kindly allowed the committee to take one of the torpedoes and mount it on a truck to be drawn in the parade. This will be a unique feature and should draw large crowd in itself
 Major John A. Hagberg, Spanish war veteran and major of the Third Battalion of Connecticut Home Guard, will act as chief marshal and will i have as his aides members of the | Spanish War Veterans dressed in the 1 full Spanish war regalia Major Hag- | berg announces that the line of march | will start at the state armory on Mo Kinley avenue promptly at 7.30 o'clock, The parade will proceed from there down Franklin street, to Franklin square, over Main street to Burn hams square, countermarch through Main street to Washington square, countermarch over Main street to Broadway and thence to Union square where the marines will be dismissed and return to the submarine base. The companies of Home Guard with the Italian band will proceed into the town hall where reserved seats will be awaiting their arrival. The parade will be in formation as follows:
 Major Hagberg and Aides
 Platoon of Police
 Liberty Loan Committee of Norwich
 City Officials
 Marine Band
 Torpedo on Truck Detachment of U. $. Marines Company I, C. H. G.
 Italian Band
 Montville Company of Home Guard
 An invitation to the Montville Hom, Guard has already been extended ant the committee for the Liberty loal rally expects to hear definitely toda, the result of the invitation, but it i expected that it will be accepted. I is very probable that this compan, will arrive in Norwich on the trolle, that arrives at 7.15.
 Rev. Joseph H. Selden has been SC cured as chairman of the rally.
 A Boston despatch says:
 In addition to awarding 40 hono flags to cities and towns whose citi | 41oayo oe1y of them in the matter of subscribin , to the third Liberty loan, the honc flag committee authorized 12 towns { add blue stars to their banners Fac l star indicates a 100 per cent. over . subscription.
