A supper was given at the Grange hall last evening by the local com pany of the State Guard, in honor of the men who have been selected for military service, and who are to leave next week They are Paul Leonard Philip Forcele, Albert Mckee and Stanley R. Jones who leave for Camp Upton August 30, and Carryl Moorc Charles Klatt, Thomas Lippia, George Belu and Domenich Carello, who leave for Camp Greenleaf, Ga, on August 26.
 The supper was served in the base
 ment of the building. The entire com pany then retired to the hall proper and an orchestra of three pieces ren- dered several patiOtic selections. Captain J. H. Trumbull made q, speech, the subject of which was "Stick to Y our Jobs." He called on Louis L.. Brastow for a talk and the l latter made a very appropriate speech on the importance of production. He told of the case of the Princess Pat regiment of Canada which was almost wiped out in France, and said that their fate was due to lack of munitions, and that it had been traced to a strike. Again he urged the importance of do- ing full days work every day. MT. BrastoW received his full share of ap- plause. Selectman William IT. John son bade the draftees God-speed and the best of luck.
 Captain TrumbulI then introduced Mayor George A. Quigley of New Brit
 ain. Mayor Quigley gave a very pa- triotic speech, outlining the object of
 the war, and what has been accom-
 plished so far. He said in part:
 T do not want to see a peace table of ay,+ to 1t settled by a lasting peace that shall be built on the ruins of Berlin"
 He related some of the German
 atrocities in Belgium and France and several men were heard to say that
 their blood fairly boiled during his speech.
 In speaking of the soldiers from this country, Mayor Quigley said that
 PlainvilIe had losta greater percent
 age than many towns and cities in Connecticut, three men having been
 killed out of a population of 5000.
 At the close of the meeting three cheers were given Mayor Quigley and
 a vote of thanks extended to the or chestra, which was composed of George, Pauline and Elizabeth Farrar. Government Wants Men.
