One solution for the poultry difficult ties of Connecticut producers Is to go out of business, and already practical ly 50 per cent. of the poultry men of the state have done so. This Is not the most profitable solution, according to q statement issued by the poultry department of the Committee of Food Supply, State Council of Defense, as result of the national conference of the leading poultry men held recently try department is as follows:
 Tt is not intended to urge any that will not be gainful for him and helpful to his country. On both these points the farmer Is the judge from whose decision there will be no appeal On the other hand. the Committee of Food Supply feels that 1t Is perfectly proper to invite your attention to the unusual situation in which poultry men today find themselves Considering prices, the labor question, and the scarcity of feeds. we do not hesitate to say frankly that the outlook for highly specialized commercial poultry plants Is not favorable. As matter of fact, great many poultry men of this class have already greatly reduced operations or entirely abandoned their business.
 Of course, every one knows that We import by far the largest part of the poultry products consumed in Con necticut All the chicken men in the state have not been able to produce enough to supply any two of our larger cities We happen to know one mer- chant in New Haven who is buying hennery eggs as far south as Deleware and as far west as Indiana.
 "All this simply means that there is no better poultry market anywhere. Not only this, but Connecticut's splen. did reputation and prestige in the mat. ter of breeding stock ought to be pre- served. Have you considered the fact that hen on range on the farm can be carried a year on fifty or sixty pounds of feed as compared with eighty to ninety pounds that the spe- eialized poultry man has to buyf Do you know that poultry men paid last winter as high as $20 for ton of mangel beets that you can grow this summer on one-twentieth of an acre? Do you realize that 100 hens on each of 10000 farms would more than dou- ble the present poultry population or the state: Do you. not agree thai

Our MT. Sher- " will gladly give ear owners advice relative to their storage batteries at any time
 We furnish a card, which is free for the asking, which entities anyone, who has battery in their car, to free testing and refil1ing twice month.
 We also carry large stock of rent al batteries so that in case of trouble it will not hereafter be necessary to lay up the car while the battery is be- ing repaired. We also carry new bat teries on hand to fit any make of ear as we'll as repair parts for all makes of batteries.
 Before installing this service sta tion we made a careful investigation and found the Willard Storage Bat tery Company to be the oldest and most reliable in the country. This company was the first to make storage batteries for automobiles. Eighty per cent of all cars come from the factory equipped with Willard Battery.
 We are proud to announce the in stallation of this service, and feel that 1t will be appreciated and resort ed to by the automobile public. We will gladly give further information if desired and assure our patrons that it is our aim to give them at all times the best possible service, both in our store and in our Battery Service Sta ton, which is located in the rear of the L.

Motor Cars Necessary
To Army Transportation

There is no doubt that the motor car
is a necessity in business and civil life
today. Neither is there sny doubt that
it is equally necessary in the military
service of the United States, both over
Fseas and on this side.
the military service of tho United Sta
ties, both overseas and on this side.
The Quartermaster Corps, the Avia-
tion section of the Signal corps, the
Ordnance department and other Sec
irons of the army are using hundreds
of motor ears and motor trucks, and ad-
ding great numbers to the fleets al
ready in service here and across the
Atlantic.
Though the government has asked
that manufacturers curtail their pro-
duction of passenger cars for civilian
use, there has been no eurtailment so
far as military ears are concerned.
These are leaving Detroit factories in
great fleets, being driven overland to
army camps or to Atlantic seap0rts for
shipment abroad.
Tho army has taken leaf out of the
book of civilian life, and quickly learn
ed that economical transportation of
men and materials, and rapid comui-
cation between distant points is best
accomplished by motor vehicles.
One of the first factories in Detroit
to produce cars for army use was the
Dodge Brothers works This production
is now moving at to speed, and large
numbers of Dodge Brothers motor cars
