wheat is being exported in great quantities to meet the dire need of of-
 allies. For a number of weeks flour
 has been sold on the so-called 50-50
 basis. that is, one pound of substitute must be purchased with each pound of
 wheat flour.
 Miss Embleton says that reports
 come to Hartford of places where the
 flour is used for human food and the substitutes fed to chickens or animals.
 This is contrary to the food adminis- tratien ruling and shows ignorance of the seriousness of the situation. It is the height of selfishness to feed to |.animals food fit for human use when our allies. our first line Of defense. are suffering from hunger.
 Other cases are reported where the substitutes are stored on the pantry shelves and allowed to spoil untouch- ed, one of these reports coming from Putnam Miss Embleton, fresh from I conference with the food administra- l tion officials at Hartford, character ized such action as nothing short oi 1 treason.
 When every newspaper and period 1 ical is full of tested recipes there is
 no excuse for not knowing how to use every sort of wheat substitute. Any
 one who wishes recipes or suggestions l Miss En1bleton added, may can 337-: and receive personal help and advice
 in regard to the use of substitutes. Six pounds of wheat f1ouf and three l pounds of sugar are allowed per per. son per month. Let each one do hi. patriotic level best to keep within thi allowance so that America may b, spared the trouble and expense of
 system of compulsory rations.

FUEL COMMITTEE.
To Meet Monday For Conference as
 to Next Winters Plans.


 Members of the KilIingly fuel com taittee are to have a meeting next Monday for conference over the rules the state fuel administrator, for the distribution of coal for next winter in Killingly.
 Under the rules that have been laid down househo1ders, while urged to place orders for their years supply of coal at as early date as possible. will be required to file with their deai- CTS acquisitions for the amount of coal distributed among the applicants tip I to 75 per cent. of the amount they have ordered After all orders have been filled up to 75 per cent, distri- tbution of the remaining 9 per cent. will begin if there is a sufficient sup l ply Of coal on hand
 All persons who place orders for coal at as early a date as possible will as- l sist in easing the coal supply problem for next winter. for it is much easier l to transport the coal from the mines EduFiHg the mild and warm months of | the year than it is in the real cold weather season. Dealers who get or- dsrs early will have all the spring, f6uualiaef and fall in which to secure the necessary supply.
 | Buyers will not be allowed, of course ! to evade the 75 per cent delivery plan II by increasing their orders above the arnouat of coal that they have used Ion an average, in the past. The rec lord of their purchases ir other years Ewil1 be referred to in booking their or EdeFs for the next twelve months SUD- ply Of the fuel.

Becomes EntangIed in Feed Wire and
 Ffaits Goodyear Mill.

A huge owl, though he gave his life in the happeEing, stopped the ma cf1inery of the Goodyear Cotton conn
 pany's plant at Goodyear during the early hours of Thursday Inorhing and
 threw a large number of hands out of
 work for a period of few hours The owls remarkable feat was ac- complished- by cutting off the electric power that drives much of the ma chinery of the big plant. This paftie- dlaf owl became entahgled in the high tension line that carries power over ! the long route from the power station at Pla4aheidy Hp thr6ugh Danielseh and acfess the hills and fields noTth- west of this place to the plant that 1 sits in the valley beside the Quinebaug
 river at Goodyear
 i The contact of the owl against the
 wires, which carry 11,0o0 volts, caused
 tW6 Of them to burn of and incident
 ally 6ufAsd one leg of the owl in ad-
 dit7oa f6 burning nearly all Of the
 feathers off one wing.
 ! What occurred also probably was !! helped along by the fact that the owl had a steel trap attached to one leg Evidently he had stepped into this while on night marauding expedition | but had been able to exert his gfeai strength fn sufficient degree to breaE fthe trap loose from it's 4n6oring an6 fly away with it. The trap. dangling from one leg. may have first caught lin the high tension line and started I the fireworks that resulted in the tdeath of the owl and the throwing q the Goodyear mill off it's regular run.

 l The search that then followed re. lvealed what had happened, at q pofrf fWhere the line runs through soma wooded country and open fields. II Two of the three wires of the lin,
 Ihad burned of and these were quickly
