looked rather sad.
"Cheer up, cheer up" said the Storm
King. "Old North Wind doesn't care
if we don't keep step"

North Wind, and his laugh was so cold
that they all wanted to start right
away. They felt like exercising and
blowing and showing.
Prince Sleet was talking with the
King of the Clouds and the Hail King.

all said. eyes, Wen come down to-

"We're all ready then, eh?' asked
old Mr.. North Wind once more.
"We're all ready" they said. And
the earth people shivered, sat closer
to the fires, and the ones who were
outside drew their collars and furs
tighter.
~"Then-Go" said old Mr.. North
Wind. And the storm parade began.
In it were the Storm King, King Hail,
old King Snow, Prince Sleet, the King
of the Clouds, his army of RaindrOps

in the air and looked exactly like q

Of course the people on the earth

him! OH how cold it was! And what
a terrific storm!
The city people said that they would
not be able to get about and that cars
and traffic Of all sorts would be de-
layed.
But the strangest thing Of all was
the way the storm acted. 1t began at
one end and went straight through the
city but only q section at time. When
it had finished stOrming in one sec
ton it went on down little further
to another, while all the parts around
were fine and clear.
The evening newspapers in the city
said that the storm was "freakish,"
and one little girl who was riding in
a motorcar with her mother said that
they seemed to keep pace with the
storm straight down through the city.
But they managed to escape the very
end of it which was the worst Of all.
'Now for a good wind-up," said old
King Snow as he blew.
'That's good expression" said cld
Mr. North Wind. For even though he
was the drum-major of the storm the
others made suggestions as to how the
storm could be made worse.
And they all ended up by blowing.

TEN BRIDGEPORT BOYS WILL LEARN
 TO BE FARMERS

The first squad of boys to mobilize tor farm work have comp1ered their two weeks training course at Loomis Institute. These boys have had in- structiops in field work, the care of poultry, care of dairy cattle and in the handling of horses and equip ment. Without exception these boys have come from the city.
 The demand for the boys who have just finished their work has far ex- ceeded the supply, practically three calls being received for every boy available.
 A second and a much larger camp Ia scheduled to open Tuesday, May 21 Sk the Connecticut Agricultural Col lege. Provision has been made for at least a hundred boys and quotas have been assigned to various cities of the State, Hartford has been ask ed to furnish twenty boys; New Ha- ven, fifteen; Bridgeport, ten.
 The boys will be housed in the col lege dornitory and will be fed in mess tent erected near the college dining hall in order that the food may be provided by the college. Prac- tical work will be given to small groups who will be assigned to vari- ous tasks under the leadership of trained men at the ollege. The camp will be under semi-military discipline, a short period of military drill being a part of the days program.
 Superintendents are being appoint ed for each county, who will follow up the work the boys do after they arc reasonable sure that he is to re- that the work may proceed satisfac- torily. In so far as possible, the home conditions of every farmer applying for boys is investigated and no boy sent out to a farm until the leaders arer easonably sure that he is to re- ceive home such as is desirable for 8 growing youngster.
 The following boys have the honor of being the first members of the Boys Working Reserve to finish their training course and to get into action:

sionary Board as one of a specially selected band of 16 chosen to perform service in Turkey after the war. He graduated on Tuesday of this week from the Union Theological Seminary of New York.
 Eight hours of actual toll is the daily schedule of the college farmer cites who are located in West Red ding under enlistment for the season in the food production service. This schedule is faithfully followed and thsu far the original band of workers remains intact. They have put in sev- eral acres of potatoes and half an acre of onions and are now planting a varied assortment of garden stuff. One day last week they varied their agricultural activities by replenishing the wood pile with the aid of a buck saw. The experience proved that the crop of blisters on their hands had not previously reached the maximum. As nothing further has been heard from the other group of college women who expected to do farming on Miss F'owler's land at Bedding Center the supposition is that the plan will not materialize owing to the lack of hous- ing accommodations,
 Suffragan Bishop Acheson visited Christ Episcopal church at the Ridge on Wednesday evening and admins tered confirmation to the following candidates: Mrs. Grace Allen, Dor man Allen, Catherine Barnes, Edith Cromwell, A. c.

GERARD PICTURE
 SHOWS 0UTRACES AGAINST BELCIANS

In one telling episode in Ambassa- dor Gerards story of his experience in Germany, as put into the authoriz- ed motion picture form, you can see how the masters of Germany trif1ed with this country. The picture shows MT. Gerard calling upon Chancellor von Bethmann Hollweg of the Imper- ial German government, to protest against the deportation of Belgian women to work as slaves in German fields and factories,
 MT. Gerard was hot with indigna- ton at this atrocious outrage. He came as the accredited representative of 100, 100000 people, who were en- titled to be heard on this or any other QuestioS, Yet while he stood waiting for tho German minister's attention, that po&Nntate amused himself for a time wiEh his danicng doll figures. He consideNSd 100, 0,O00,000 people, ex- pressing the protest of outraged hu- manttarian sentiment, of less account than his jumping jacks.
 The same spirit ran through the German court from the Emperor down. The Americans were consid- cred mere dollar seeking pigs, who would never dare to go to war, but were bent merely on seeking their money swill
 We could be joIlied along like chil- dren, lied to, ignored, our women and children murdered, our brave sea- men sent to the bottom of the seas. And the Germans thought that all these outrages that cried to heaven, could be atoned by the vague promise of a money indemnity, which promise was only a scrap of paper"
 The Germans are very bright peo- pie. They have a very astute spy system over here, to which they pay big money. They spent enormous sums to control our public opinion. But they didn't quite size us up right. The true American character is be- ginning to dawn on them where at they are greatly surprised.

Special to The TiInes.) )

An honor flag with three stars which the town has won by quadru- bling it's Liberty Loan allotment will be flung out from the town house at 2:30 next Sunday afternoon with ap- propriate exercises. The Home Guard and school children are to partici- pate. Captain H. s. Barnes will make presentation of the emblem and w. c. Sanford, first selectman and chairman of the local War Bureau, the accept ance response. Other speakers are to be Lieut.. Col. Ives of Danbury, and D. S. Sanford. Redding's achieve ment in supporting the last Liberty Loan certainly gives warrant for pride and jubilation. The amount of subscriptions credited the town by the official bank record is $42,65O and rightly there should be added more than $1,OO0 which has not been includ- ed owing to neglect on the part o1 certain subscribers to attend to this phase of the matter. Of the total ac- tually credited only $1,2O0 came from the towns summer colony which com. prises many wealthy persons. These individuals doubtless did their share but the credits went to New York ol other cities. Georgetown's contrbbu- tion of nearly $22, represented g considerably larger number of indi- viduals than did it's contribution tt the previous loan, the shop hands o1 the village participating almost to 6 man.
