JUNIOR FOUR MINUTE MEN
 WAR SAVINGS CONTEST
Now Underway in Many Sehoois
 Throughout the State.


 The junior four minute men war savings content is now under way in many of the public schools throughout Connecticut, and the ravairies are growing keener among the different grades as the abilities of their star" orators are developed.
 It is expected. that local interest in war savings will be most matriaiiy aubmnted by this concentration of the chi dren's, attention upon the: matter; and that the result will be a greatly increased sale os thsift stamps and of war savings stanps to the credit of this community. s,s r
 Not the least valuable effect of the movement, however. will be the stftn- ulation of inteerst in and knowledge Of. the responsibilities of the war which will be brought nome to the children, and through them to their homes, because of the study Y1ecessar- fly required to produce a model four minute speech Or four hundred word essay, upon this topic.
 The fact that this is a war in which every man. woman and child in the United States is xitaIly, and personal : ly interested will be made more ob- vious as the result of careful study of the data gathered and published by; the government as text matter from which to prepare these speeches for the Junior Four Minute Mems contest. h' | The importance of saving, every cent will be emphasize by a knowledge that the nineteen billions appropriated by
 congress for the conduct of the war l during the single year of nineteen eighteen, represents only seven bill l lions less than the total expenditures o1

The an- nouncement also states that in view of the small supply of coal in Norwich at the present time. thss local dealers are not booking orders for next fall and winter.
 The statement issued by MT. Jensen follows.
 In svtew of the small supply of coal in Norwich, dealers are not booking orders for the coming years require nents, but are selling coal for inirne- dtate consumption. The only excep- tion has been small amount of egg coal for which no demand was made for immediate use.
 The price of anthracite for the com- ing year has not yet been fixed by the state fuel administrator and 1t is doubtful if orders for summer delivery can be taken earlier than the last part | of April.
 l Announcement will be made through the local press when the dealers are ready to book orders. It is well to remember that the federal fuel ad- l ministrator urges consumers to place I orders with their regular dealefs'' when the time comes.
 1 Excepting retail, dealers, no person, group of persons, firm or corporation shall be permitted to receive carload or, barge load lots of anthracite coal without special permission from the state fuel administrator. Such per-
 mission will be granted only under exceptional circumstances The policy of the fuel administration is to have local dealers supply anthracite coal foi 1 local needs. l A single domestic consumer or g | group of domestic consumers wishing 1 to apply for carload or barge load lots of anthracite coal must do so on s l special form to be obtained from the
 chairman of the local fuel committee only upon written request.
 1 Employers who wish to apply fol

 ton to their employees must write {

 Any such person, group of persons firm or corporation, selling and dis tributing carload or barge load lot of coal is considered to be a coa uSaIef anu must COHdOTIn to all the re Quirements both Of the federal gov ernment and of the statutes of tn state of Connecticut.

The red garden beet may be grown in any good soil but rich sandy loam will give the best results. The seed may be sown in spring as soon as the ground is in condition to work. They may be planted two weeks be- fore danger of frost is past. If for horse cultivation the rows should be from 21s to 3 feet apart or wide enough for the horse to walk between the rows. If for hand cultivation, the rows need not be more than F to IS inches apart The usual custom is to sow the seed somewhat closer togeth- CT than the beets are desired and after the beets are up, to thin them from time to time, using the ones re- moved for greens until the beets final ly are some 4 to 5 inches apart in the rows. --
 It should be remembered that what is commonly termed beet seed is really a seed ball, containing several individ- ual seeds and for this reason each one of these balls may bring from 3 to plants. All of these plants except one should be removed during the thinning process. Two ounces of the seed are sufficient to plant a 100-foot row. >
 Beets should be planted in success sion at intervals of about two weeks during the summer so as to have a supply of young tender beets at all times. The beets~ should De used be- fore they exceed a diameter of in- ches, as the young beets of moderate size are of much better quality than those allowed to make a greater growth The beets that remain un- used during the latter part of the sea- son should be allowed to grow until frost, pulled, trimmed and stored for winter use. If not desired. for table use, they make an excellent stock or poultry feed.-U. s. Department of
