an expert pickpocket, they say.
On the stand he told funny story.

was running.

THE FOURTH

Every community in Connecticut
is being urged to arrange for the
proper observance of independence
Day, July Fourth, planning appro-
pirate celebrations at this time when
American soldiers are fighting in
France for the principles of freedom
laid down by the signers of the Dec
laration of independence. War
Bureaus and Town Committees of
the Connecticut State Council of
Defense have received special COM
munications this week from the
Council calling attention to the ur-
gent need of preparing for the sort
of celebration that will do honor
to the nation, the state, and the
lads fighting lover there.

WAR. JOTTINGS

Incomplete returns from rs States
show that nearly 100000 women
have registered for war work under
the Woman's Committee of the
Council of National Defense.
The 12-cylinder Liberty motor,
according to a statement by the War
Department, weighs 825 pounds and
develops $50 horsepower, or a
weight of 1.8 pounds per horsepow-
er. The gasoline consumption is ap-
proximately 0.46 pound per horse
power hour.
The standardized type B" truck
has been officially adopted as the
standard heavy-duty cargo truck for
use by the Army in all it's depart
ments requiring this capacity truck.
A large number have been ordered
and it is expected the first 10000
will be completed about August 1,
1918.
There is no discrimination of any
kind between soldiers who are not
citizens of the United States anc
the native born or naturalized citi
zens in the American Army, except
ing that the former can not hole
commissions. In all other respects
care, attention, privileges, ETC.
they are all on the same footing.

ly for home consumption. This rul-
ing by the food administration is
due to the shortage OF
sugar and is used as a means to pre-
vent any one putting up more than
they will use, thus conserving sugar,
Jars, ETC., all of which would violate
the economic principles which the
government is trying to enforce.
1t is possible that many people in
this community do not understand
that sufficient sugar may be obtained
from local merchants i'll such GUAM
titles as will be necessary fer cam
ming. In order 10 obtain more than
two pounds of sugar it is necessary
for the purchaser to make out a
certificate, which the grocer sends
to the state food administrator,
stating that the sugar purchased is
to be used for canning purposes. On
the other hand, if an individual seeks
to use this means for the purpose of
boarding or other than that stated,
they automatically forfeit their right
to purchase more sugar.
The way prices on almost every
commodity are soaring daily and the
vast difference in the prices of food
stuffs which has taken place in the
past few months, should be argument
enough to convince every housewife
that now is the time to practice econ
omy by preserving and canning fruits
and vegetables which can be used
as substitute for more costly foods
next winter.

According to the food administra-
ton there is a very appaent shortage
of wheat at the present time and an
oversupply of corn meal on hand at
the majority of stores. This over
supply of corn meal is due to winter
shipments which were caught in the
traffic congestion, therefore unless
the people come to the front and
make use of the supply available,
enormous losses will result.

ALL CAN ENLIST

President Wilson, in his state
ment calling upon every man, wom-
an, and child to pledge themselves
on or before June % to save con-
stantly and to buy regularly the Sc
curities of the Government, says,
"May there be none unlisted on
that dayr
AS the President points out,
"This war is one of nations-not of
armies-and all of our 100000, 900
people must be economically and in
vdustrially adjusted to war conditions
if this Nation is to play it's full part
in the conflict"
Our Nation, not our Army and
Navy only, is at war. And that
means that all of us not actually
fighting must do our part.
That part consists in giving the
Army and the Navy all the support
of which we are capable. To do
that each one of US must first of all
be producer to our maximum
ability and consumer of necessities
only, for every bit of man power
and every particle of material is
necessary for. the use of the Army
and Navy and for the making of the
things essential to our citizens. I
AS maximum producer and as s
consumer of necessities only, eacl
one of US will be an accumulation o:
savings. And these savings can b,
invested in War Savings Stamp
with benefit both to the Government

Pershing 4th of July Fund

The anniversary of American In
dependence will find thousand of
Connecticut boys obeying the spirit
of the day by valiantly fighting for
world freedom against the German
hordes. In appreciation of their
brave service. at the front veterans
of former war, the Spanish-Ameri-
can War of '9s, propose to raise a
fund of more than $4,000 to be
distributed to Connecticut men in
France on July 4th.
Recently at meeting of the State
Camp Commanders in Hartford, the
veterans decided that no better eb-
ject could be undertaken than the
raising this month of a "Pershing
Fourth of. July Fund" for Connecti-
cut soldiers in France. The boys of
'9S know how we'll any gifts are APP
preciated when one is fighting
many miles away from home and
loved ones. They are assured that
money gift would be particularly
appropriate at this time because the
post Office department has not per-
mitted relatives and friends of men
overseas to send packages and this
ruling map last throughout the war.
The actual campaign for the fund
will begin June 10th and will con-
time to June GOTH 1t is the aim of
the General Committee to raise
enough money so that when distri-
buted in France each soldier from
Connecticut will receive at least So.
Each Camp in the state has been
given a definite quota to raise and
each local chairman directed to in
still in the members of his camp the
ambition to go far beyond the allot-
ment figure. The campaign has the
approval of the Connecticut State
Council of Defense.

SUGAR SHORTAGE
Only Two Pounds Now Sold to
Each Customer

The sugar situation has devel-
oped so as to require still further
conservation and it will therefore
be necessary to limit sugar sales to
any one consumer in the city to two
pounds and to any one consumer
in rural districts to five pounds.
This regulation is effective immedi-
ately throughout the country.
Many people appear to be taking
advantage of canning certificates
and it has been found necessary to
issue a new form which is similar to
the original form except that it
contains the following note:
mot more than s. pounds may be
sold on this certificate without OBJ
tanning the approval of the Local
Food Director or the Federal Food
Administrator, Hartford, Conn.
This certificate is to be forwarded
to the Federal Food Administrator,
Hartfrd, Conn, by the grocer max
ing the sale within one week of this
date.
All old forms of canning certi-
, ficates are recalled and should be
destroyed. On the new certificate,
approval for purchases of more than
Is pounds may be made by the
Local Food Director or the Federal
Food Administrator.
1t is hoped that this situation is
somewhat temporary and if the pub
lie will exercise a reasonable amount
of restraint it will be possible to
obtain sufficient supplies to meet the
pressing needs of this, the season of
! heavy consumption.
The following regarding the meat
situation has been received from
Administrator Scoville.
"The demands for beef for our
army and the Allied armies and
their civil populations for this sum-
mer are beyond our present surplus.
On the toher hand we have enough
increased supply of pork this sum-
mer to permit economical expansion
in its use.
at will, therefore, be direct SER
vice to our armies and the Allies if
our people would in some degree sub
stitute fresh pork, bacon, hams and
sausage for beef products. We re-
quest all hotels and restaurants not
to place on their menu or serve
boiled beef more than two meals
weekly, beef-steak more than one
meal weekly, and roast beef more
than one meal weekly. We ask
householders not under any circum-
stances to buy more than one and
ons-quarter pounds of clear beef
weekly or one and one-half pounds
including the bona per person in the
household.
