 The NomCn's Christian Tem-
 pcrancc union, of New Britain,
 Conn.,, in annual meeting assem-
 Died this day, expresses anew it's
 sympathy by word and deed with
 every act of tho government
 which looks to the conservation
 of our man power as well as all our national resources for the
 heroic purpose Of making the
 "World safe for dcmocrary.'
 We have, in our kitchens and at our tables, cheorfully entered into tho spirit of the food conscrva- ton proposals, but arc firmly convinced that for tho govern mcnt 10 show it's good faith it must prevent tho terrible waste or cereals, fruit and fuel which goes on daily in the production of beer and wine. With the ap- preach of spring, this good faith is again called for in thct pros pectivc shortage of m0rc than two million workers on the farms which is the estimate. of the Agri- cultural dcpa rtmcnt's farm man agcment expert.
 Good faith by our government would have great weight on France and Great Britain, who have a similar problem, and doubtless would have prevented Gen. Pershing's nulli1ication of the law of congress in his Deccm- Der order permitting our forces to ''buy or receive, as gift, beer and light wines"
 We, therefore, earnestly peti- ton our president and congress to pass at once tho Randall War /. Prohibition bill as the greatest possible conservation step and one in which patriotism would re- spOnd with the greatest cnthusi- asn and power.
 Election of Omccrs.
 Following tho reading of the reports 'f the officers of the union, officers for he ensuing year were elected, Mrs. John C. Gilchrest being chosen leader or the year.
