JUNIOR FOOD ARMY
Older Boys and Girls Wanted to En-
 rolI--Farrn Agents Appeal.

County Agent B. ". Ellis Issued the following, statement Friday:
 The enrollment, of young people in the Junior Food Army is showing very encouraging results. However. at present there are comparatively few enrolling who are near the upper age limit, namely eighteen. This may be attributed to the fact that most of the enrolling has been done through the schools where there are but very few in attendance of this age.
 The older ones should not get the impression however that the organi- zation is for those younger than they because some of the very best work is being done, by the maturer boys and girls Neither should they lose sight of the fact that many of the premiums which will be offered at exhibits will be open to only Junior Food sAru1y members and unless they join this army of producers their pro- ducts will not be eligible for prizes. Aside from the material side of the question 1t Is the patriotic duty of these boys and girls to enlist in a movement endorsed by their state and
 thus assist their towns. their county and their. state to the place which it rigfitfully deserves.
 If the local Junior Food Army corA- mittee can not furnish the necessary enrolment cards and information. the 1 farm bureau at Putnam will cheerfully
 supply these so that no time need be 1 lost in increasing the Windham county enrolment.

 The registration of KilHngN young men who have reached 21 since June 5 of last year appears smaller than expected, but this is chiefly due to the fact that a considerable number of these young men did not wait for the draft, but entered the service last year.

GAS PRICE ADVANCED

essary.
 The Putnam Light & Power com pany has announced that on and af- ter June 21st there will be an advance in the price of gas. Fuel gas is ad- vanced 95 cents per thousand, but n- luminating gas is decreased Is cents per thousand.
 On anu after the above date all gas will be measured on one meter at a flat rate of al.70 per thousand feet with discount of 10 cents per thous- and feet on bills paid on or before the tenth of the month. making a net rate of S1.60.
 Heretofore, fuel gas has been $1.S5 per thousand net, and this will now be $1.60 net. while Illuminating gas. heretofore s1S5. is decreased to $1.60 net.
 In speaking of the advance, Ralph E. Thurston, manager of the company, said: "We are forced to make the ad- vance on account of the high cost of production. The advance has been contemplated for some time. Putnam is one of the last places to advance rates. We have been forced to do t by the high price of the commodities we use in gas manufacture. For in stance, take coal Where we formerly paid SAP a ton for bituminous coal we are now paying $10.14 and where we paid $500 for anthracite, we now have to pay 1925. Oils and other ma terial have advanced nproportion tc say nothing of the advanced wages paid for labor"
 "These prices" Mir Thurston said ''are temporary. If the prices of com modities used by us go down, we vii reduce the price of gas. On the other hand, if prices advance materially we shall be forced to make another ad- evance in the price of our product. We feel that. owing to the high price ot l'coal, in all probability much more gas will be used by the householder nex' winter. With the new rate in effec, a gas heater may be put in any room
 in the home without additional cost
 as the service all over the house vii be at the same rate, where hertofort
 if one put gas heater in room other than where it was piped for tht 1 fuel meter, the illuminating price was
 paid
 Mir. Thurston further said that tht
 prevailing price of S1.35 for fuel ga: was entirely too low. and that Put nam citizens have long had the bene-

HOW MOTOR VOLUNTEERS
SAVE ALLIED SOLDIERS
FROM LONDON PITFALLS
Lady Lister-Kaye, American
Woman, Asks Support in This
Country for Noble Work of
English Organization.

A Canadian soldier boy, fsmished
and fatiEued from three months fight
ing in Flanders. arrived in LONDON a
few months after the war began. He
was on leave, and had with him SeT5.
His khaki was stiff and uncomfort-
able with tho thick mud from the
trenches: two days and as many
nights on service trains and the boat
had seemed interminable.
AlightinE shortly after midnight in
a lonely railroad station in London,
he sleepily thought OF how insignif1-
cant he was in that great city OF
100000 souls. Not one of them
knew him. He was 5000 miles from
home and friends.
Out into the darkened street he
stumbled. prepared to accept the first
profTer OF bed and food.
TuItures of the Street.
Two vultures Of the street. one In
the garb of a man, the other in that
of a woman, accosted him. London
has its INSCRIPTIONS men and women
In common with other cities. The
welcome they offered, though as
sumed, warmed his heart
Twenty-four hours later. the ;ol-
dier was set adHft. His money was
gone, his pseudo friends were miss
ing. and serious Ills had befallen him.
This was not an isolated case.
Scores OF such tragedies-some of
them worse-were enacted each
night.
As the war wore on and the num-
bers OF men under arms began to
swell. the number OF men on leave
increased proportionately. War Of
fee reports showed FIVE times as
many men in London on leave in the
autumn OF 1917 as there were in the
autumn OF 1916. with the dangers
five-fold greater.
Lady lister Kaye, of oLndon. but a
native OF this country. IS in, Wash
ington today, to tell Americans how
this situation has been handled; how
more than half a million men wear
ing the uniform not only OF the Brit
lsh Tommy but OF all the allies. have
been saved from the pitfalls OF Lon
don's danger zone, that period from
until o'clock in the morning.
when the city is darkened that il
may not be a target for an air raid
and when all vehicles are stopped.
In collaboration with Viscount
Field Marshal French as patron-in-
chief and Sir John Lister-Kaye. a
plan was evolved. They learned that
the dangers Of war were not con-
fined solely to the fighting line and
before the mouths OF German guns.
Volunteers Meet Emergency.
The London Motor Transport Vol
unteers have been equal to the
emergency. No more do these SOL
diers, nearly all OF whom are
strangers in London. have to find
their way through darkened streets
from one station to another. ofttimes
two 10 four miles apart: no more do
they have to wander about seeking
lodging; they are no longer left TO
be prayed upon by vicious men and
women who lie in wait to claim them
as their victims.
The plan was to have motor buses
