Returns from 5000 cards that have been distributed through the county are being received daily at the office of the New London County Farm Bu- reau in the Thayer building from the boys and girls who want to enlist in the Connecticut junior food army.
 The garden activity is proving most popular, according to the enrolment cards that have been turned in, with the canning club and poultry activi- ties not far behind.
 Enlistments in the junior food ar- my are proceeding at such a rate all over the state that the state leader, A. j. Brundage. feels confident in pre- enrollments will be exceeded
 Junior food army members are do- ing their bit to win the war just as much as those engaged in munition making, shipbuilding and other aetiv- itiesf1, and are so recognized by be- ing given a junior food army button when they commence their seasons S work and upon completion of their activity are given a certificate show ing their patriotism by helping the food supply, which is signed by Gov ernor Marcus H. Holcomb of Connec- ticut Any who have not already en- rolled may send to the New London County Farm Bureau for a card.
 Join Pig Club.
 Assistant County Agent R. J. Whit ham is making a special drive to get the boys and girls to take up the pig club plan. He issues the following call:
 The nation needs boys and girls today, not to beat our drums, nor to toad our muskets, but to start a great work which must be done. It is the part of the boys and girls today to give an example of the spirit of '76 to say, IT will heip to win the war
 Food is essential to the winning of this war. Pork and fat are needed

more than any other foods. as with out them neither our soldiers nor those of our allies can fight. Thus: when you help feed them you help win the war.
 There are 10000 boys and girls raising pigs now. We want that number increased to 200 coo You can do 1t just as the pig club mem bers of 1917 did Some of the pig club members last year grew enough pork to feed two soldiers for twelve months: Will you do likewise in 1918? These boys and girls also made profit Of S9.71 each. Further they had $500 for their labor and S4.94 for the wastes they fed, neither of which cost them anything. making a total of $17.65 which these members had to show for their work. Then, too, the money you make may be loaned to Uncle Sam through war savings stamps or Liberty Bonds and without money we could not fight for a day
 If you are determined to do your
 bit in this war to see it through to nish, even as the boys and girls of '76 did, join the New London County Boys and Girls club This contest starts June 1st, ending Oct. 1st. Aid
 in organizing clubs and conducting club meetings will be given BulIe- tins telling how to feed and care for pigs are sent you from the U. s. De- pertinent of Agriculture, the Connec- tcut Agricultural College and the New London County Farm Bureau. Assistant County Agent Whitman will aid you also in solving the prob lem which will confront you in your work, such as feeding the proper ra- tions, care of the animal when sick, etc. If you do not have pig and cannot find one, we will help you se- cure one. Prizes at local, county and state fairs, and prizes on the record made in the contests will be given.

are grape vines for miles. They plant them about two feet apart and trim them down every spring. All of the houses in this country are made of stone or cement, some of the finest work in the world. We are at the foot of a lot of mountains, on top of some of them you can see lots of snow but where we are everything is in bloom. In tre morning you can see old ladies. 60 and 70 years of age, come in with their milk wagons They have donlleys for horses and little two wheeled shays. We were going up the mountain this morning ard we passed them by the dozen. They go like snails, going up the mountain. We take a hike for about l2 miles every day. In the city the horses are larger. The trolleys are run by women. They are donkeys and have trailers. They have lots of wine here but don't care for it. They do not sell much hard stuff. The water is so bad is the reason for so much wine. I hope you are all well.
 Don't worry about me for I was never better in my life.

CAN EAST LYME
 FURNISH ANOTHER SITE?
State Tuberculosis Commission Is Willing to Exchange Crescent Beach Site.


 If the people of East Lyme can furnish another site just as good for 9 tuberculosis sanatorium for chil- dren and furnish it so quickly that the proposed opening of the sanator- ium at Crescent Beach, East, Lyme, shall not be delayed, the state tuber- culosis commission will be willing to exchange the Crescent Beach site for a new one. This was the substance of an answer that the state comnis- sion made on Thursday to the protest Of the citizens of East Lyme over the location of the sanatorium at Cres- cent Bea ch.
 Furthermore the commission states that it paid to George w. Carroll of this city the sum of $12,o00 for the Crescent Beach site and it considers the property is we'll worth that amount to the state for the purpose for which it is intended. If any pre- vious owners of the property, were victims of misrepresentation, it was not with the approval or knowledge of the state commission.
 The answer of the commission to the East Lyme first selectman, F. A. Beckwith, was given in the follow ing communications:
 Hartford, May 18th, 1918. MT. F. A. Beckwith, First Selectm2n, |. Town o1 East Lyme, Conn. Dear Sir:-We are in receipt of the communication of yourself and oth- CTS dated May 1, 1918. informing us of the action taken by Q town meeting Of the town of East Lyme in opposi- ton to the purchase by the state of the White Beach Hotel and other ad- joining property at Crescent Beach for use as a small sanatorium for the cure of children crippled with tuber- cular bones or glands.
 As to the acquisition of this proper ty, we trust that it is hardly neces- sary to assure your committee that so far as the members of this com mission are concerned there was no ! misrepresentation or deception. The property was offered to us by George | W. Carroll, a real estate dealer of ] Norwich, He was not our agent. The requisites for such an institution and | the purpose for which it was to be used were fully explained to him as i they have been to all of the many other owners and real estate agents
 who have approached us having shore
 properties to sell. After an exami- nation of the property we considered | it altogether the cheapest and best suited for our purpose of any which
 we had inspected. It was offered to
 us by MT. Carroll for $12,0o0. and that
 was the amount paid him. That his price was remarkably low has been | the opinion of every disinterested per
 son whom we have heard discuss the matter. We have no knowledge as to what any previous owner or owners | (whom we have never seen) sold ii
 for, nor have we any means of know
 ing, unless some of the parties to
 such previous sales choose to make a

BAR anthracite
FROM "a STATES
THROUGH SOUTH

Instructions issued by the Anthra-
cite Committee of the U. s. Fuel Ad-
ministration increase from 10 to "a,
the number of states to which ship
ments of anthracite are barred, ex-
cept upon special permits first OBJ
tanned from the committee. The
states included in the list are as FOL-
lows: Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas,
California, Colorado, Florida, Geo--
gia, Idaho, Kentucky, Louisiana,
Mississippi, Montana, Nevada New
Mexico, North Carolina, Oklahoma,
Oregon, South Carolina, Tennessee,
Texas. Utah, Washington. West Vir-
ginia and Wyoming.
In none of the states is anthracite
essential, so that the supply can be
cut off without infiicting hardship on
the consuming public. The purpose
of the order is obvious. 1t is to gain
more anthracite for consumption in
the other sections of the country
which are greatly dependent upon it
for fuel.

men SERVING
IN BIG TANKS

Forty eight Connecticut men have
enlisted in the Tank Corps of the
United States Army through the offics
of Leo A. Kerper who is Federal Di-
rector for Connecticut In addition
there are now on hand the applica-
tions of between twenty and thirty
men for the Tank Corps, a large per-
centage of whom will doubtless be ac-
cepted.
Men of draft age are eligible. Ae
present this is the only service in the
army which is recruiting men classified
under the draft.
The notice given out in connection
with the offering of this opportunity to
enter the Tank Corps says: Men
are wanted with force, stamina, and
initiative who have the. physique and
strength to stand UP under severe ac-
tive service such as is required in
manning the tanks. 1t is especially
desired that men with knowledge of
mechanics should apply. The tanks,
both in offense and defense, have
come to be a most important factor
in determining the outcome Of the
world war"
Lieutenant r W. Crosby of the Tank
Corps will be at Room 25. State Cap
itol. Hartford, on Friday and Satur-
day, May II and IS, to interview men
who wish to apply for enlistment or
induction into the Tank Corps. Those
who wish to see Lieutenant Crosby at
that time should make an appointment
beforehand by telephoning Hartford,
Bushnell so.

The British officers and men who
are training the new force say the
Americans are of the finest material
and are certain to give most excel

meet the Germans.
The British troops greeted the
Americans not only as comrades in
arms, but as warm frioDds and the
work of instruction is continued in
that spirit.
The American forces on arriving
within the British zone were cheered
to the skies by the sons of Britain
many of whom bore unmistakable
signs of battle. They had not seen
the Americans before, but they knew
they were coming.
| The Americans on the other hand
gained all the more enthusiasm by
the heartiness of the greeting which
! they received from their battle SCARED
