Sharpen the Axes.
The wood-chopping bee which has
been planned by the Plainvil1e War
Bureau for the benefit Of the people
Of the town who are short of fuel, Will
be held on Monday at the grounds
owned by Town Clerk Usher on Farm
ington avenue. All those who are
willing to chop wood for their own use
or to help out the work being done
are given notice to report at Grange
hall on Monday morning at o'clock.
The War Bureau has made provisions
for teams with which to convey tho
wood choppers to the grounds. The
price at which the wood is to be sold
will be settled at the grounds by a
committee of two men who will be
appointed by the bureau. Those who
do not need the wood for their own
use, but who go to help, will be paid
a wage for their services. This also
will be decided upon by the committee
in charge at the time. The wood will
be delivered to the people to which it
is sold by Myron Rogers. He will be
at the place during the day and ar
rangements can be made with him in
this respect.
The bureau is anxious to have as
many as possible at the grounds be-
cause there will be a great deal OF
work to be done besides the chopping
such as the clearing of paths and pill
ing the wood. All men who report
are asked to bring their lunch with
them, and arrangements have been
made by Selectman Johnson whereby
the men will be served hot coffee free
of charge. The fact that most of the
factories in the town will be closed
on Monday and a great many men will
be idle was the reason the bureau Sc
lected Monday as the ideal day for the
affair This will be an opportunity for
a great many men to earn money as
we'll as to get wood at a low price.
