THAUNIOR FOOD ARMY.
scapegoAt,

In connection with the comins Berlin Falr, we beg to call the atten- ton of oIN readers to the following of one phase of the splendid w4r work accomplished by the Food Go hnmittee of the State Coun. ciI of Defense. The Connecticut Junior Food Army has rendered the state and the nation patriotic serv. ice which is entitled to the warme es commendation of all loyal Americans The announcement reads thus
 Early this year, when it seemed necessary to mobilize all forces of our state for food, pro-
 duction and conservation, the Food Supply Committee of the State Council of Defense realized that they might well take into account the food production and conservation activities of the
 boys and girls. With this in mind, the Connecticut Junior Food Army Committee was ap-
 pointed to organize the junior workers and give them recogni- tion under the State Council of Defense
 A basis for the organization of a Junior Food Army, was the Boys and Girls Clubs which had
 been steadily growing in num-
 bers for over three years, under the direction of A. J. Brundage,
 State Club Leader representing I3ic iVyieS 1f
 ment of Agriculture.
 The enrolment which was
 taken by the local Junior Food
 Army Committee in nearly every town in the state resulted in se-
 curing an enlistment of nearly
 50,000 boys and girls between the
 ages of ten and eighteen. Each
 child who became a member of
 the Junior Food Army enlisted
 with the idea that his effort
 would contribute something to-
 wards helping the state meet it's
 obligation in supplying food
 needed to win the war.
 Wherever possible, the boys
 and girls have been grouped in
 clubs devoted to special activi-
 ties, such as pig, poultry, corn
 potato, home, cookery, canning.
 etc. As a result there has been
 a gradual development of com
 mon interest which will lead nat
 turally to the establishme of
 community interest thus in time
 our rural sections will reap the
 benefit of an agricultural move
 ment
 Such a good percentage of
 these patriotic workers have
 been successful with their prof
 ects, that the Junior Food Army
 Committee and all who have been connected with the work,
 feel confident that the Connecti-
 cut Junior Food Army has al- ready proved itself a factor in the food production and conser- vation program.
 Through @ system of local and county exhibits preceding this State exhibit, the members of the Junior Food Army have benefited by the stimulation of the spirit of competition, and the desire to attain the standard or better. Another feature of the work has been the training in all i activities of demonstration teams which are proficient in giving 1 clear and concise information on 1 how results have been attained 1 It is still too early to estimate 1 the commercial value of the food grown and conserved by the boys and girls, but it is more
 than likely to reach many hun l deds of thousands of dollars. 1 Let us extend to these young l patriots a hearty appreciation 1 and support in the task they
 have undertaken.
 To Mrs. Samuel Russell, Jr, l Middletown, is due great credit fC l the satisfactory results of the Juni,

Wholesale Milk Sold BY Weight.

To assure the utmost fairness to all
concerned and secure for Baltimore con-
sumers their full quota of the short win
ter supply of milk, VIM. Fl. Maltbie,
Food Administrator for Maryland has is
sued an order effective next Tuesday,
requiring all milk at wholesale to be sold
at weight.
Most of the milk received here from
the producers is shipped in five gallon
cans, and carelessness in measurement
the cans not always being filled to capa-
city or being deprived by leakage or
rough handling in shipment of some of
their contents has resulted in loss
which is the cause of Mr.. Maltbie's action.
At the high price the producers are now
receiving for their milk accuracy in Civ
ing pound for pound" is considered by
the Food Administration of the first i'm

Fourth Liberty Loan
Over.Subscribed.

In an official statement given out
Nov. 1st, Secretary McAdoo says:
"The Fourth Liberty Loan has
been overwhelmingly successful. The
total subscription is in excess OF
$3.50, 100000, an oversubscription
of $3.50, 100000. In accordance with
the provision of department circular
No. 121, | have determined to make
allotment in full upon all subscrip-
tions. The estimated number of sub
scribers in the first loan was 4, 100000
in the second loan 100000; and
in the third loan $500, 900. Final
figures both as to the total amount
of Subscriptions and the number OF
subscribers are still lacking but re-
snlts will not be less than now re-
ported. The distribution of the loan
among investors cannot be stated at
the moment, but details will be fur
nished as soon as final reports are
received.
"A particularly inspiring part OF
the campaign was the subscription OF
the men in the Army of more than
s75,OOO,OOO, and of the men in the
Navy of more than S43, 100000. Our
soldiers and sailors have shown that
they are not only willing to fight but
to lend to the limit of their means to
back their government.
The great success of the loan is
new and convincing evidence OF the
determined spirit of America to carry
on the war until freedom is assured
throughout the world. But even
with the highest purpose and patriot
ism on the part of the people, this
great result could not have been
achieved without intelligent direction
and organization. | wish to thank
the Liberty Loan Committees, both
men and women, the bankers and
business men, farmers, wage earners,
railroad officers and employees, and
every group of citizens who have so
ably and enthusiastically cooperated
with the Treasury in conducting the
campaign.
TO the press of the countrys es-
pecially, credit is due for emphasiz-
ing through their news columns and
editorial pages the necessity for max
ing this great loan successful. In
spite of the influenza epidemic, the
unenacted revenue bill, and other
unfavorable factors, the American
people have consummated the great
est financial achievement in all his
tory"

Catholic Women To Aid.
Work to Be Carefully Planned
For Campaign.

Nearly 5000, 900 Catholic Women IN
every part of the United States nave
been pledged to aid the great unlteo
War Work Campaign which will be held
the week of Nov. llth to 18th. The
Catholic women of the country are Or
ganized in 10, 200 parishes. BY the time
the drive actually begins diocesan COM
mittees on women's activities will be
established in every diocese. These units
will be made part of the various societies
of the diocese. Their work will be care
fully planned and ready for strong IN
ensive campaign.
Realizing that the War cannot be fought
successfully without the help of the Wo-
men, every woman's committee IN the
church is turning its attention to actual
War needs. From the women must come
nurses, accountant, aids in hospitals, aids
in Camps, entertainments for soldiers and
aids for travellers. The women's COM
mittees have visitors houses at many OF
the big camps in the country. One OF
the principle works Of the national COM
mittees on women's activities is the con-
struction and supervision of visitor houses
this work demands the services OF many
organizations throughout the county.
The National Catholic War Council at
its inception turned its attention and Ell
forts to the Catholic Women. The wo-
mems committee was Immediately plan
ned for the general purpose of assisting
the women in their efforts to help win
the war
At present complete directory of all
Catholic women's S societies is being com
piled. Through this directory an accur-
ate survey will Re made of the work al
ready accomplished. The committee Is
ready to submit program of War Re
lief Measures which will be based on the
war work actually done by Catholic Wo-
mems organizations. 1t will also be in
position to know directly the needs OF
the government and of the soldiers and
sailors and will serve as a general -gent
of communica tion between the govern
ment and the various bodies of Cathollc
women throughout the country.
In their work through the country the
women of the National Catholic War
Council are cooperating with the Y. M.
C. A., Y. w. C. A., Jewish Welfare
Board, American Library Association,
The Salvation Army and War Camp Com
munity Service in their plans for Victory
Boys and Victory Girls, every youngster
in school will be asked to do his bit in
helping put the drive over in big way
The children will earn their own money
and give it to the campaign under the dI-
rection of national plan which will put
the whole thing almost on military basis
as far as the small people of the com
munities are concerned. Every small
boy and girl will have chance to enlist
to help Uncle Sam.

Womens activities is lead by Rev. VIM.
