Y. M. C. A. Boys Enjoy Trip
to New York and YOnkerS

A. Y. NJ. G. A. party composed or
twenty-seven boys from the local as
ISOLATION made q trip to Yonkers
Thursday, stopping off in New York
and seeing places of interest there.
They left here about eight o'clock
on the Staten Island Rapid Transit
and on arriving in New York proceed
ed TO the aquarium, then to the U. s..
s~ub-treasury, Trinity church, down
Wall street and visited the Stock EN-
change. From there the party walked
part way across Brooklyn bridge n
back, and then visited City Hall. the
Woolworth building and the Hudson
terminal.
The boys went over too early to see
the grand feet when 1t sailed by the
Statue Of Liberty, so they took Il
of the Fifth avenue buses n went
up Riverside Drive and from there
had a splendid view of the huge
American var feet.
The party went to Yonkers by sub
way and in the cafeteria there con-
sumed a big meal. After they a
recovered from the effects of the din
ner sufficient to allow them to move
without too much exertion, they went
on the gymnasium floor and entered
into competition with h boys OF the
Yonkers "Y." A two lap relay was
won by the Yonkers lads and a nine
inning indoor baseball game was cap
tured by the local diamond stars. The
big feature of the athletic contests
was the mass obstacle with eighteen
men on q side and the local boys pro-
ceeded to demonstrate that they were
fieeter of foot and quicker in move
ment than the Yonkers aggregation.
The last events in the gym were three
basketball games, but the Yonokers
proved too much for the
Perth Amboy "Y" tossers and walked
away with all three games.
The party then had another meal in
the cafeteria and returned to this city,
arriving here about $3.50 o'clock.

MUST CAN ALL POSSIBLE
Next Winter May Be Record Break CT on Food Shortage, Says B. w.
 Ellis.

People in this section should can every ounce of food possible, says B. w. Ellis, Windham county farm agent Mir. Ellis thinks that next win ter may be a record breaker as to food shortage, and that products that may be easily canned this summer will be a very valuable asset in every household. MT. Ellis expressed these by Miss M. Estelle Sprague, representing the Hartford food com mittee and other organizations that are striving for the conservation of foodstuffs.
 Miss Sprague was addressing the food committee of the Putnam War Bureau in the Chamber of Commerce rooms. She told of the great canning campaign right ahead and announced that the people of Connecticut will be expected to can and preserve 5,000,- 900 quarts of perishable food this season. Of this enormous total Wind ham county's share is 234,500 cans. Putnam alone is requested to preserve 50,000 quart cans of perishable food.
 In the near future Putnam house. wives and young girls will be asked to sign pledges to aid in producing can ned goods, so that perishable food stuffs may be saved and transporta- tion lines relieved. Mir. Ellis advises getting jars and rubber bands ready now, for the canning season is open ing.
 A bureau of information is to be established by the Farmers associa- ton so that producers of canned food stuffs may know where to find custom CTS, and vice versa. A bulletin board also is to be placed outside of the Chamber of Commerce that will give valuable information relative to when to can, how to can, and where to get the foodstuffs that will be available for canning.

JUST A LITTLE LESSON OF FOUR
 MONTHS IN JAIL.

'T will give you just little lesson. Four months in jail for yours," said Judge Geissler in the city court Mon- day morning His honor was address ing Ernest Washington, colored, 21 years old last January, and recently discharged from the U- s. Navy
 Washington marred the features of Max Lavine, a trucker at the freight house. According to Max he was waiting to enter freight car with his truck when Washington came out on the left side. Max told him he should pass to the right Washington there upon called him a vile name and hit him in the mouth, cutting his lip and loosening his front teeth.
 Washington told the court that La vine called him a vile name, alluding to his color. He said that he had just been discharged from the navy, but had not registered yet under the draft law although he had been to the head quarters of the exemption board one evening, but found no one there.

the order had just sent 25,000, ,000 cigarettes and pieces of candy across and that the things are given the boys in the service free of charge. He asked If there were any members who would like to become secretaries across seas, saying that he would gladly send in their names providing they were over the draft age. He told of the greatly increased member ship of the order in the last few months, at least partly due to the great work that it is doing for the sol diers. The remarks of the secretary were received with applause. He is we'll known in Putnam, and his com ing to this city is always appreciated by the Knights.

LETTERS FROM PUTNAM SOLDER BOYS

last night We are the only ones here and the French had gardens pretty we'll started before leaving We don't wash dishes. just go out to the neigh bors and borrow some more. In our kitchen we have a fine range and oil stove; in the dining room with a fine outlook on the street, thanks to Fritzl. we have Il clocks, four of which are cuckoot and five are S-foot grandfather models. So you see we have music every few minutes as they strike.
 When we are off duty. we surely enjoy ourselves, also when we are on duty This evening We had quite a lot of gas shells. but the wind was favorable for us. (Just stopped a minute and had a couple of pokes at a Fritz plane, it came low and raked the lines with machine guns) On duty we stay in dugouts, mine tonight is Is feet down, with room for three men to sleep Our work is very inn portant and the most exciting of any yet.
 l thought of you last Sunday, Mothers Day" but was in no posi- tion to write as we were under direct fire all day and night Worked thirty six hours with four hours rest, on hard tack and water. We are getting hardened up pretty well and behave like veterans now under fire. You would laugh to see how much humor there Is even in war, also grim trag- edy.

STILL AFTER THE kAISER'S
 SCALP

Here is an extract from a letter from Private Joseph Cordier, France ;
 II have received your letters all right, also the papers, and you can not imagine how welcome they were I am feeling fine and am in the pink of condition and working hard every day. The weather is fine
 We have not moved since I last wrote you. Several have been trans ferred, but 1 am still with the com- pany. You would be surprised if you could see this place when we first came here and see it now. You would then see for yourself what the Ameri- can soldiers are accomplishing. would give description, but we are not allowed to go into details.
 'I attend church every Sunday The thing l wish for most is the Kaiser's scalp, and we will get it.

time back and in the meantime you ask her to tell me to write.
 "I 'spose you people back in good America are longing for the time to come when the entire world will be blessed with peace We. too, are wishing for such, and feel certain of an early victory. but since it Is the Kaiser's wish to see who IS the best man, we are going to wipe him of the face of the earth. Everyone here IS full to the top with just such spirit, and take it from me, we are coming home with the bacon soon.
 Of course you realize cannot give you any information regarding the war or any such happenings, but can say the victorious battle will be fought and won by the Allies soon. There Is all possible convenience for the American soldiers in France. So far they have not wanted for any thing. I can truthfully say that each and every man in the American E. +. is overjoyed with the good work the people back home are doing to help win the war.
 I'll not keep you from your du- ties, or perhaps worry your mind reading this, so 1 must close, but hope to hear from you at your earliest pos sibie convenience.

PROBABLY is OLDEST TREE
Remarkable Specimen in Ruined City
OF India Held in Great Veneration
by 6uddhists.

In the heart of the ruined city Of
Anufadha-pura, in India, is an an
cient tree, perhaps the oldest in the
world. It was green and fourishing
when the giant redwoods of Califor-
MIA were saplings, when the Windsor
oak Was still an acorn. It is the
famous Bo-tree of the Buddhists, a
branch of the very tree under which
Prince Gautama obtained the in
spiration of Buddhism. A sister Of
the first king of Anuradha-pura is
said to have brought the sacred
branch to the city, where it was
miraculously planted.
Green and living, it stands alone
in the ruins of the once great city.
Kings and princes have reigned and
died, temples and palaces have
crumbled, hidden under the green
of the forest, but the Bo-tree still
stands "green forever as the an
Gent prophecy foretold. Pilgrims
to- the shrine pass through ruined

streets, between tumbling palace
walls, to worship at the foot Of the
tree. Ancient, withered priests still
guard the holy spot.
In the broad branches tiny elflike
monkeys swing and chatter to each
other. The aged guardians Of the
place regard these small trespassers
with disfavor, but their faith forbids
the shedding even a monkeys blood
in the sacred shadow of the tree, so
the tiny animals swing and chatter
to their hearts content as they have
done for centuries. They seem to be
tiny priests themselves, as withered
and as aged as the more dignifed
brothers.

ENABLES RECORD OF ORDERS
Oictaphone on Telephone T~ransmitter
Preserves Exact instructions Given
by Railroad Dispatcher.

No more will a railroad dispatcher
need to seek an alibi if an order he
gives mi~scarries, resulting in a
wreck. According to Popular Me-
chanics Magazine, the dispatcher for
an electric railway in Missouri uses
a dictaphone in connection with his
work. With the mouthpiece of a
dictaphone attached to the telephone
transmitter the dispatcher is able to
record his instruction by telephone
to conductors at various points along
the line.
Lifting the receiver from the
hook starts the dictaphone cylinder
rotating. The records made in this
way are dated and preserved for a
time SO that they may be referred to
in case any dispute arises as to the
character Of the orders given"
