S1OO,OOO RATTLE
 STAGED FOR LOAN

New York, April 12.-A raffle for s100,o00 of third Liberty Loan bonds with chances costing s25O apiece was under way yesterday in the Wall street district. Notwithstanding the high price, the rapidity with which tickets are being sold would indicate a quick taking of all the 400 numbers.
 None of the stock or commodity ex- changes has any official connection with the affair, and undoubtedly would object to it, but some cotton brokers whose patriotism is at fever heat are conducting t as secretly as anything can be done in the financial district. The raffle calls for three prizes, two of which are fortunes in themselves. The first prize consists of $7o,0 of Librty bonds, the second $26,000 of the third loan and the third $4,00o of the Third Liberty Loan.
 There will be no public advertise ments of where the drawing will take place, for the patriots don't want any interference from the police while they are doing their bit For that reason as soon as all the chances have been sold the owner of each ticket will be quickly informed that he is en- titled to a place at dinner to be held uptown for the 400 participants in the raff1e. The numbers are to be placed in a hat and will be withdrawn one by one until there are only three left. The last number drawn will entitle the holder to the $70,000 in Liberty bonds, the second from the last number will rtsult in the presentation of $26,OOO in Liberty bonds. and the third from last $4,00o in the third Liberty Loan. The cost of the dinner is to be footed by the three prize winners, each con- tribution being in proportion to the size of the prize.

HAYS
 IN NEW YORK

New York, April 12-Announce- ment that the Republican National Committee had leased the entire third floor of the Knox building at the southwest corner of Fifth avenue and Fortieth street, led to a report last night that Chairman Will H. Hays had decided to move the head quarters of the committee from Wash ington to New York city. Inquiry, however, developed the fact that the new chairman was treating this prob lem in the same diplomatic way that he has handled other questions over which there is a difference of opin- ion.
 The plan is to open headquarters here and in Chicago and in San Fran cisco in addition to the offices which are presided over by James B. Rey- holds, secretary, in Washington. The question as to which city will be se- lected as the main headquarters will be left in abeyance until the chair man has had an opportunity of de- ciding which is the most convenient from which to operate. So long as Congress is in. session Chairman Hays will scpend much time at the capital. At present he is in the Far West on a Liberty Loan speaking tour.
 Leasing of headquarters outside of Washington so far, in advance of a Presidential campaign is something new. It is due to the plans of Chair man Hays to cooperate with the Re- publican Congressional Campaign Committee in an effort to capture the House for the Republicans this fall The campaign will be hummer, talk ing on many of the features of a na- tional battle.

ARMY CAMP WILL
 SELL FERTILIZER

In view of the shortage of com mercial fertilizers it is interesting to learn that arrangements have been made to use the manure from several thousand horses at Camp Devens, which can be secured in car lots of 25 to 35 tons.
 Information as to terms, methods of shipment, etc., can be secured through the Fairfield County Farm Bureau, Post Office Building, Dan- bury, (tel. 14S3-2); or anyone wish ing to do business direct with the contractor can address R. L. Brad ley, Aver, Mass.
 If farmers, home garden commit tees, or committees directing the work of the Junior Food Army members and planning children's gardens or community plots are un- able to secure commercial or other fertilizers, this may help to solve the problem.

OUR VIEWPOINT
 NEWS LETTER
Special to The Tf1nes.)

NeWtoWn, April 13.---The purchase by agents of the Bridgeport Hy- draulic company, last week, of some nty acres of wood land from the lBeardsley estate in Flat Swamp dis trict, brings again into public view the aim of that corporation to get control of the Pootatuck stream and direct it's waters over the divide to some one of it's reservoirs in the mid dle of the county. By this purchase they have secured all the land aIbut- ting upon and contiguous to the source of the north branch of the Pootatuck, and this taken in oonnec- tion with their earlier ownership of the Nichols dam near the junction of this stream with the Pootatuck main water right, effectively puts the con- trol of this water power into the pos session of the water company. Much speculation is arousetd by this last purchase among the Palestine far mers as to the ultimate design of the company, and they are banding to- gether to resist the encroachment on their rights such as divertfng the wa ters to the company's water system on the southern side of the divide would prove. The stream furnishes water power for sawmills and ice so absolutely necessary for their dairies is supplied from its ponds. Nearly all the farmers have agreed not to sell their farms or water rights sep arately to the agents of the com pany, but insist that every sale should be the concern of all If the purpose is to establish a water power station at the Nichols dam, the far mers would aid rather than hinder this project, but if the control of the stream is wanted for the storage of water for their aqueducts, the far mers will fight the project tooth and nail. Owners of farms to be affected tby the latter project are being warned to be on their guard as to the insid- ious activities of strangers who ap- proach them with a tale of prospec- tive sports1nan's retreat for fishing, rowing and other aquatic sports. The
 wise ones among the farmers are on to all such methods of procedure, and
 give these blue sky artists the cold
 shoulder. Nevertheless the purchase
 of the Beardsley acres was shock
 to the dairymen as it seems to give the water company the strangle hold
 on controlling the six miles of the river bed from its source to the dam
 outlet. The denizens on the banks of
 the stream fear the restrictions as to
 sanitation and pollution of it's waters
 which would undoubtedly be rigidfy
 enforced if the Bridgeport Water
 company should succeed in corraling
 the water in storage dams for use in
 its water works when needed. The
 area which could be easily flooded by Ithe water company would be very large, but would practically eliminate
 the hamlets of Palestine and Hunt ineton. and reduce approximately
 the taxable property of the township.
 it is this aspect of the case that in-
 terests the citizens of the township, and is causing them to ponder over the portents of this recent transfer Of title of the Beardsley woodland tract.

TO LOCATE ENEMY PROPERTY.

Washington, April 12---An army of 140,00 lawyers in the United States was enlisted yesterday in the cam paign to uncover enemy property. A. Mitchell Palmer, alien property cus- todian, in a letter sent to attorneys in every State, called on them to To- cate and report to his office all funds held by the enemy in the vicinities in which they live.
 Property aggregating in value many millions of dollars has been re- ported and taken over, but it is con- fidently believed that at least as much more is still unreported," his letter said. '"The duty of locating and reporting such property is placed by law not upon this office, but upon the individual citizen. It is here that I need your help"
