DRIVE TO
 CLOSE SATURDAY NIGHT AT GREEN
Award of $1,OOO Prize to Be Made By Mayor Wilson
 to Holder of Coupon.

Every War Savings Stamp agent III the city is eXerting his or her entire energy on the big drive which will close in a blaze of glory Saturday evening, when the giant revolving barrel at City Hall park will be given & final whirl by Mayor Wilson and coupon selected which will bring just one thousand dollars to someone.
 The police and f1remen are working tooth and nail, each determined to beat the other, but up to date the race is 'nip and tuck"-almost a dead heat. Each department has introduced many novel features to help them in their campaign. Augmenting the two city departments are the thousand or more ladies and men who are in attendance at the various booths all over town, and in the face of the cops these dauntless women have not only continued to sell stamps but the1r totals are higher than ever during any similar period since the stamps were first offered. Wake up ladies and you may beat the cops and firemen out in this wonderfully great and in tense campaign.

WAR SAVINGS
 COLLECTION
 IN CHURCHES
Next Sunday Set As Special Time to Collect for Thrift
 Stamp Investment.

Sunday, September 22 has been ap- pointed as War Savings Collection Day All of the local ministers have been notified of this in letter sent but by the War Savings Committee. The letter recites the great opportun- ty which the churches have to serve he county and at the same time build llp for themselves a substantial nu- lcleus of a permanent investment by Rdopting the plan which has been so successfully worked out in Q few chruches of our city.
 The idea is that all of the congre- cations shall either bring War Saw ngs and Thrift Stamps to church on Sunday, or purchase them at the 1oor, where the church committee will have a certain number on sale. The stamps so purchased are put in the collection plate as a gift to the church. One church reports that when this plan was tried last Sunday t received 35 of the $5 stamps and a very large number Cat that time un- counted) of the Thrift stamps. The alter points out that in this way the church indeed becomes the church militant and effectively lends it's sub- stance to the Lord.
 War Savings Stamps are to be put on sale In the churches, and the com mitee should procure a large enough supply to cover the purchases by the congregation, and then any that arc not sold may be returned at the loca post office. It is to be noted that al stamps which are bought before th' close of the 1000 to 1 contest ma! deposit the stubs from such coupon in the various ballot boxes around tht city and turn in their stamps 10 tn churches. The War Savings Com mittee has also ruled that all pur chases of stamps made for this pur pose may count in the fulfillment o pledges made in the Enlistment Da, campaign last June. This is one o the many novel plans which hav been inaugurated and in whicl Bridgeport Is a leading city.

INTERNATIONAL
 EGG CONTEST

During the 45th week of the lay ing contest at Storrs thebirds laid 3,371 eggs. Pen 70 White Leghorns, entered by Tom Barron, Catforth' England, were first with 54 eggs. The "Oregons" were a close second with 53 eggs to their credit. Two pens Of Leghorns, namely, Pen 69, owned by Will Barron, Bartle, England, and Pen'73, owned by A. P. Robinson, Cal verton, N. Y, were third with 51 eggs. A pen of Barred Rocks entered by Ingleside Farm, Palenville, N. Y, and a pen of Rhode Island Reds entered by Charles O. Polhemus, Newburgh, N. Y, were tied for fourth place, haV- ing laid 50 eggs each.
 Last year White Leghorns were the first breed to reach pen production of 2,0OO eggs. This year the Ore gons" have the honor and are week ahead in doing it. To date the "Ore- gons" have laid 2,O41 eggs, while the leading pen last year had laid 1882 during the first 45 weeks. In other words. the "Oregons" are 59 eggs ahead of last years best pen.
 If we consider the first ten places in the contest as a whole, it is found that "Oregons'' hold first place, White Wyandottes second, with Leghorns in third, fourth and fifth places, Barred Rocks filling sixth, eighth, and ninth places. Rhode Island Reds seventh and White Wyandottes tenth. These best ten pens, meaning 100 hens. have averaged to lay 181 eggs each as com- pared with IA for the average ot | the entire contest.

CASES OF INFLUENZA
 IN THE STATE

The State HeaEh Commissioner has issued directions to all physicians in the state to report all cases of -inf1u- enza which come under their notice.
 Owing to the epidemic which threat ems Connecticut as well as Massachu setts, precautions are being taken to prevent the spread of this communi- cable disease. Dr. Wn'+"~ Brown, To- cal health officer, this morning said:
 Individuals should take the utmost
 precaution against transmission of this disease. The only preventive now is
 precaUtfon in contact with persons af- flicted or in the first stages. If it
 were possible, precautions similar to those taken in camps and hospitals overseas would undoubtedly be effec- tive. Several thicknesses' of gauge were made into a specie of mask and worn while in the vicinity of patients suffering from all kinds of communi- cable diseases. Visiting persons suf-
 fering from influenza should be dis- couraged."

One of the most attractive booklets
issued recently is the year book put
out by Swift & Company, covering the
activities of the big packing concern
during the year 1917. Serving as an
Introduction is the address of the vice
president, E. F. Swift, to the stock
holders, in which he tells of the abnOr-
mally high prices paid for live stock
in Chicago and of the prices obtained
for meat; of the Investigation by the
federal trade commission, and the Ii
censing by the government of food dis
tributing agencies and the limiting of
profits on Slaughtering and meat pack
ing TO 9 per cent on money employed.
Mr.. Swift also told with pride of the
$500 employees who had entered the
various branches of the United States
service, and concluded with the state
ment that Swift & Company would do
their utmost to help win the war.
An interesting and illuminative sec
ton of the booklet is that devoted to
statistics of live stock prices and pro-
duction, and another is given up to
telling "the packers service to pro-
Queer and consumer Figures are
given showing that the net profit of
the company per head, 1912 to 1916.
averaged $1.22 for cattle, less than ID
cents for sheep and less than 81 cents
for hogs. 1t is explained that the large
aggregate profits are due to the i'm
mense volume of business done.
The booklet is handsomely illus
trated with photographs and color
prints and the cover illustration, made
from photograph of a corn farm in
Ohio, is especially attractive.

GOVERNMENT ASKED TO HELP
Proper Construction and Maintenance
Of Roads Demanded by condi-

''That the effective conduct of the
war demands immediate attention to
proper construction and maintenance
OF the highways of the country is a
plain statement of facts" asserts
Chairman George P. Coleman of the
American Association of State High
way Officials.
Never before has there been such
urgent need of a comprehensive and
definite policy for road and street con-
struction and maintenance as is the
case at present, and, in making their
request to the United States govern
ment TO formulate and promulgate at
the earliest hour a plan which shall
be countrywide in its character, the
state highway officials believe that
they are expressing the concensus Of
opinion of all citizens interested in
roads progress intended to encompass
the greatest economic and military
value in conserving the resources of
the country and facilitating the high

I'm our appeal to W. G. McAdoo.
director general of railroads, we have
included q special petition that freight
cars shall be furnished early in the
spring for transportation of the neces-
sary materials entering into the build
ing of main artery roads which COM
mand a priority of attention. We are
going to be exceedingly hopeful that
the director general will recognize the
interrelated needs of railroads and
highways, enabling the road arteries
of communication to serve a maximum
help in relieving the rail lines of their

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
One Of the most potent ways Of in
creasing the number Of hogs is by en-
couraging more boys and girls to join
pig clubs. In the past these clubs
have been markedly successful. They
have been the means Of introducing
purebred hogs into many communi-
ties and raising the standard Of hogs
as well as improving the conditions
under which they are kept and the
care given them The number of pig
clubs in the Northern states on June
80, 1917, totaled 1897; in the South
the number Of community clubs is be-
tween 1000 and $500, and in almost
every club are found members OF pig
clubs. Although the number is large,
It is possible to increase it greatly by
forming more clubs in counties where
there are agents to direct properly
the efforts of the young people In
order to stimulate these activities, the
department during the past year has
added to its force several pig club
specialists, and a number Of the agri-
cultural colleges have done likewise.
In this work. it is OF first importance
that proper instructions be given to
the members in gard TO all phases OF
swine husbandry so that clubs viii be
successful in bringing to market a
large percentage Of the pigs under
their care. Clubs should not be or
ganized unless there IS ample asSur-
ance that sufficient feed viii be avail
able TO bring the pigs to maturity.
Swine breeders associations have
been active for number of years in
assisting pig club members to secure
purebred hogs at reduced prices. This
has made it possible for members 10
obtain good stock with which TO lay
the foundation for herd OF purebred
swine. The result has been the intro
ductiOn into many communities OF de-
sirable breeding stock and the stimu-
lation of more widespread interest in
good quality hogs. Swine breeders
associations doubtless will be willing
to continue in the future the assistance
given to club members In the past
Bankers in many states have real
lied the value Of pig clubs as a means
of materially improving rural condi-
lions and at the same time increasing

How Potato Spraying Paid.

Some potato growers, according to
a recent statement from the depart
ment of agriculture, have expressed
the opinion that it does not pay to
spray potatoes for late blight. That
thorough spraying will control the
blight in seasons of bad infection has
been proved many times in the past,
says the statement, and most recently
in AroOstook county, Me-, In 1917.
Among other places in the county this
was shown conclusively at Aroostook
farm, where extensive experiments
were conducted by the United States
department of agriculture In co-opera-
ton with the Maine Agricultural Ex-
pertinent station. In one block where
small test plots sprayed with standard
bordeaux mixture were interSpersed
with untreated plots, the average
yield on IL of the former was at the
rate Of 1912, bushels per acre, while
that on an equal number of untreated
plots was at the rate OF 1888 bushels
per acre, an increase of 37.7 bushels
per acre, or more than % per cent In
favor OF bordeaux mixture.

upon the season of the year and the
work to be done. In addition each dis
trict has one or more gangs transferred
from place to place to carry on recon-
structiOn, Oiling and other work which
is occasionally needed in such amounts
that the section forces are unable to
perform it without neglecting other du-
ties. This bureau handles all the

work of the state and keeps the roads
In good condition until long stretches

machinery, economizing labor and
doing the work in a less Iaborious
manner.
Much of the corn that is now husked
from the shocks could be handled more
economically and with a saving in feed
value OF slower by substituting ma
chine huskers and shedders for hand
labor. The use of corn pickers would
accomplish similar results in the case
of corn husked from the standing
stalks. Unloading and elevating ma
chinery at the crib should be intro
duced and more generally used in
many sections where it is now IN
known or not commonly used Where
such facilities are not available cribs
should be constructed in such a
manner that they can be filled and
emptied with the least possible labor
For level ground double cribs with
an elevated driveway and approaches
that will enable the loads to be driven
through the cribs and dumped or
scooped out of the wagons without
any high pitching are very satisfac-
tory.
