WAR SAVINGS RALLY
 ON TUESDAY NIGHT
Important Meeting at Elks' Club for Committees From Various Lodges
 to Stimulate Sale of Stamps.

An important meeting of the lodge comittees of the local war savings stamp campaign is to be held next Tuesday evening at 8:15 D. m. at the Elks' club. The purpose of this meeting is to discuss and formulate plans for stimulating interest in the work of the lodge committees and to coordinate the efforts of the com mittees of the various fraternal or Ganizations, with a view to greatly accelerating the sale of the Thrift Stamps and War Savings Stamps through the medium of these organ- izatons. It is highly essential that every member of each lodge commit tee attend this meeting, and it is earnestly hoped that every member of each lodge, whether on one of the committees or not, will be present However, the meeting will be of uni versal interest, characterized by stir
 ring, patriotic appeals, and the public is cordially invited to attend.
 Final arrangements are being made for program which, both in regard to speakers and music, it would be difficult to surpass. The meeting will be presided over by E. w. Schultz, and the presence of such able and inspiring speakers as Col. Howell Cheney, state director of the war Savings Stamp campaign, and Judge Smith are virtually assured. Moreover, the committee has been fortunate in securing the services of the Arpl Sex tet, whose power to entertain with patriotic selections is too well known in New Britain to require comment The attendance of a good pianist is assured, and Fred Latham will sing Altogether, the meeting promises to be exceptionally inspiring, and it is felt certain that it will result in greatly accelerating the sale of Thrift Stamps and War Savings Stamps
 The personnel of the lodge com- mittee has been augmented by the membership of MT. Case who will de- vote his efforts to giving publicity to the activities of that body. During business hours MT. Case may be reached at the Fafnir Bearing com- pany, and in the evening will usually be found at the New Britain club.

Why Reekeepere Eail.

Failure to make a success of bee
keeping almost always results fir m
lack of study of the needs of the bees.
combined with the failure to do
things on time. Beekeeping is essen
TALLY an industry which requires
studious care, and in consequence the
proper development of this branch of
agriculture necessitates to an unusual
degree the dissemination of informa-
ton of rather detailed nature. While
there are published bulletins and
|books which contain the needed infor-
nation, these have not proved ade-
quate
1t is quite possible for the American
Bookkeeping industry to be developed
so that the honey crop will be ten
times what 1t is at present. Not only
would such development be valuable
in an emergency such as the present
crisis, but In normal times the bee
keeping industry can provide a con.
centrated, nutritious food, almost uni.
versally liked, and assuredly an arti-
Gle of diet preferable tc the inferior
strups and jams SC, commonly used.

SAW POINT OF RESEMBLANCE
Youngsters Comment, However, Could
Hardly Be Called compli- II
mentary One.

A fond auntie was left to amuse her
small niece and nephew while their
mother went shopping. James became
deeply interested in his toy engine and
tiny Ruth was absorbed in watching
auntie cut out beautiful paper dolls.
One of these appealed to her particu-
larry and she would scarcely wait for
auntie to finish.
"Oh, auntie, isn't she pretty? She's
blue"
YES, she is lovely. And see what
a fancy dress she has on. Look at her
long train"
The last word caught serious-mind-
ed James attention.
"Auntie, show me the train"
Auntie pointed to the deep fiounce
which was set on with large plaits and
which was long enough at the back for
quite a sweep. James took it in his
hands and examined it closely and 81
lently for a few moments. Handing
it back, he said solemnly:
81 suppose you could call it train.
1t looks something like a cow-cateh-
err"

NEARBY MARKET
IS USUALLY BEST
Canning Clubs Should Be Able to
Guarantee Packs of Diff
ferent Products.
LABELS ON TIN CONTAINERS
Az Necessary to Establish Reputation
for Reliability as to Have Prod
ucts Put Up AttractiveIy-
Cater to Needs of Buyers.

Well-stocked pantry shelves found
in so many American homes at the
end of the canning season have not
been enough in the way of food saw
ing for many women and girls who
last year, especially through their or
ganized clubs, put up millions of jars
and cans of fruits and vegetables in
response to the worlds need of food.
Although some of this surplus
canned food, that the pantry shelves
would not hold, was sold on local mar
kets, and some of 1t was even shipped
to nearby points, here and there the
home Gamers found that it was hard
to sell the surplus. One of the main
difficulties, as pointed out by the bu-
reau of markets, was that the home
canned products were not standard
lied, for many cases were found where
well-selected, carefully packed stand
ardized goods brought good prices to
the home Gamer.
Best Markets.
Local or nearby markets for home
canned products are usually the best.
The attractivenSss of the pack and
containers affects its selling qualities.
Merchants or other buyers do not
want a miscellaneous assortment of
products, and it is better practice to
put different products in boxes by
themselves and not to mix containers
of peaches and peppers, for example,
in the same lot when offering them
ehny 10 loS1
as to size and quarts and pints kept
separate. Labels are necessary on tin
containers and help sell canned goods.
Where products are put up by mem
bers of canning clubs under organized
supervision 1t is possible to guaran-
tee the pack of the different products
as to grade and weight of measure.
This is considerable aid in selling,
since the buyer then knows exactly
what he is buying.
Pooling Products
In case the products are pooled for
marketing, the different kinds of fruit
or vegetables can be placed together
In graded-sized containers, when, PEI
hans, the pack of any one individual
might not be large enough TO make
up quantity sufficient to attract
buyers. 1t is as necessary TO estab-
lish reputation for reliability as to
have products put up attractively. The
marketing of home or club-canned
products can be made successful If
the Gamers will study the marketing
problem and cater to the needs of buy
ers. When orders are secured in adj
vance for products, home Gamers
should endeavor TO fill the orders on
time and give the buyer the kind of
products agreed upon.

ALLIES STILL STAND
FIRM ON THE MARINE
HUNS HOPE TO CRUSH IN THE
SCISSORS SALIENT AND OPEN
UP WAY TO PARIS.
Every Attempt to Cross Marine Has
Been Frustrated by Allied Forces,
Germans Suffering Heavy Losses
in Each Attack Made.

London.-The Germans in their new
offensive are hammering the allied line
apparently with the hope of crushing
in the Scissors salient and opening up
the way to Paris by way of the Marine
and the Disc. They are reported to be
using well on toward three-quarters
of million men in this effort.
Although the enemy occupies the
northern bank of the Marine for a
stretch of dozen miles east from the
vicinity of Chateau Thierry, he seems
10 have made no serious attempt to
force crossing, the only efforts in
this direction that have been reported
being made in small force. These
were vigorously repulsed by the
French.
Ready to Resist.
The main trend of the enemy effort
is westward, and with this purpose
seemingly fully developed General
Foch is disposing his forces to resist
it. Already the French seem to be of
considerable strength in the path of
the crown princes drive west of the
snOtSSOu TDdu 10 SHdISdu lulSIISs
The Germans at last reports had
succeeded in penetrating from two and
half to nearly four miles at points
west Of this road. They were stopped
for the time being at least at Chau
Dun, three miles from the road, which
the French first lost and then retook in
desperate fighting, and likewise before
Chouy and Neuilly st. Front, to the
south.
Huns Forced Back.
But the strength of General Foch's
reserves has been felt by the German
crown prince in the "battle for
Paris"
Just below scissors the crown
Princes troops were forced back on
the Crise river, which runs on a north
and south line through that town. In
the engagements on this front several
hundred prisoners were taken by the
French and in the scissors fighting
especially the Germans suffered terri.
fic punishment.
Near the Marine, in the vicinity OF
Chateau Thierry, an important rail
way point on the river, the situation is
somewhat obscure, but the French ap
parently have protecting line flung
northwest from the Marine at Char
teyes, three and half miles northeast
of Chateau Thierry, and linking VI
with their north and south line above
the latter town. which the Germans
are strongly threatening.
Rheims Still Safe.
Rheims, on the left of the German
advance, is still in allied hands, ant
in general there is little apparent eff
fort on the part of the Germans t.
enlarge their salient in this direction
except at it's narrow edge.
On Sunday the French troops in {
counterattack west of Neuilly-St
Front drove back the Germans anC
also in an attack recaptured Hill 16;
in this region, according to the French
official communication, issued Sunda!
evening. The village of Champlat alsC
was recaptured and near Villeen-Tar
denois some ground was gained by tht
French troops.

Care of Young Horses.

Give the weanlings and immature
horses good care. The colts should
be given an ample supply of grain and
good roughage in order that they may
mature into useful work horses. The
saving Of grain should be made with
the idle mature horse and not with
the colt. There are many economical
rations that can be fed to both young
and mature stock, depending on the
local feeds available. Write to your
state experiment station for informa-
ton regarding the most economical ra-
tions to be fed in your state. Also
write to the United States department
of agriculture for Farmers Bulletin
S03, which gives information on the
feeding and management of young
horses.

inexpensive Garden Tools.

The cultivation of a home garden
requires very little expenditure in
tools. A spade, hoe. and a rake, rep
resenting a total cost of considerably
less than So. are all the bought tools
necessary to be used. Everything else
can be improvised. A garden line can
be made with piece of Irvine tied to
two sharpened sticks that serve as
stakes. A thin piece of board or a
single can be made into a service
able trowel. A good scratcher and
weeder can be made by driving about
thee small Lails through the end OF
piece of lath. A heavier weeder can
be made from a piece OF hoop iron,

DAISY FLY KILLER

One night policeman found a man

a result of brutal assault.
Near him lay common bowler hat.
Suspicious of certain person, the po-
lice arrested him. He was not able to
give an account of his movements on
that evening; also the hat fitted him
like a glove.
A clever lawyer pleaded his case so
impressively on the risk of accepting a
hat as sufficient evidence that the jury
acquitted the prisoner. and he was dis
charged.
Before leaving the dock he turned
to the judge and, pointing to the hat
in the courtroom, said:
