Old Timer Never For
gets the Game

Fred Anderson, cashier of the
Mitchell bank, was in Condor
Saturday and called at the Globe
office to see that everything was
all right in the mechanical de
partment. Several years ago
Fritz" was printer and a good
one, a Globe veteran. and he has
never been able to get the germ
out of his system which after all
is nothing strange. So every
time he comes to Condor he calls
in to get his hands smeared with
ink and grease and the old never
to be forgotten smell in his nos
trils. He came at an opportune
moment too for one of the presses
had developed a streak of mulish
ness which defed the present
force and the best mechanics in
town. In ten minutes Fritz"
located the trouble and fixed it.
He had ink on his fingers. and
the fervid blessings of the Globe
force and was happy again.

GREAT PICTURE HERE.
TOMORROW

The great picture. my -Four
Years in Germany" which is Ia
be shown tomorrow, November
30, at the Liberty Theatre in q
2:30 matinee and in the evening
at 1880. gives the outstanding in
cidents of the story. visualizing
scenes of the great struggle 80
graphically told by Ambassador
Gerard. That the picture is a
great success is evident by the
enthusiastic reception it has re-
ceived in all the big cities.
Practically the whole picture
Is concerned with the Ambass-
ador's experiences in Germany
from the time the war broke out
until this nation Joined with the
Allies. Perhaps the incidents
shown which will prove of the
greatest interest to spectators
are Mr.. Gerard's audiences with
the madman who ruled Germany.
Their conversations are illus.
trated in the sub titles. The cli-
max is reached when the kaiser
slurs the United States and its
fighting ability and the screen
displays q multitude Of our land
and sea forces. What the Huns
did to Belgium and to northern
France is shown with marvellous
and realistic fidelity to the facts.
Gerard's visits to rhe Hun prison
camps are pictured and also that
scene where Gerard is handed
his passports after having told a
pompous German that he would
stay right in Germany till hell
freezes" before he would sign an |
to permit interned
German ships to depart from our |
ports.

general situation in relation to the
development of the scheme. One of
the properties upon which an option
has already been secured is that of
Mrs. Mary English, of Danbury, a
farm of 20 acres, at Neversink. Yester-
day the purchasing agents secured an
option on the farm Of Frank Wanzer.
Other places upon which options have
been obtained are the farms of Silas
Vincent and the Ezra Hatch estate.
1t is said that three months option
has been taken in each case. The
area Of the section of tibet own being
acquired is approximately seven miles
long and two miles wide, It is re-
ported from New Fairfield, and the
entire transaction will involve prop
erty valued at many thousands of
dollars.
1t is said that in the majority of
cases little difficulty has been expert
enced in arriving at satisfactory terms
for the purchase of the property de-
sired. AS nearly as New Fairfield
people are able to determine from the
information they have obtained, the
enterprise, if carried to a successful
conclusion, will mean the inundation,
of practically all of what is known as
the east side Of the town, embracing
an are equal TO perhaps one-quarter
of the entire area of the township.

Gives $4,000
FOR BOYS'LABOR
IN ACRICUL TURE

The board of control authorized the
Connecticut State Council of Defense
ito expend in the promotion of boy
to exceed $4,000"
Plans for the enrolment and use
of boys for farm work this summer
were outlined to the board by repre-
sentatives of the defense council.
Boys for farm service in Connectf-
cut this summer arch eng enrolled
through the Boys Working Reserve, a
federal plan under the direction of
the department of labor, and in the
Connecticut Junior Agricultural Vol
unteers. Boys from 16 to 81 years are
being enrolled in the Boys Working
Reserve. and lads from 4 to Is years
of age in the Connecticut Junior Ag-
ricultural Volunteers.
A campaign for the enrolment of
boys in these two food production
armies is now in progress. Enroll
ment blanks are in the hands of Y.
NJ. c. A. officials and all high school
principals in the state.
The experiment of boy labor on
farms was tried last year by the food
supply committee of the State Coun-
Gil of Defense, and good results were
obtained. Farmers who employed the
boys were satisfied with their work
and are asking for boy labor this year
Other farmers are appealing for boy
workers this summer. Plans are be-
ing made to secure large enrolment
and place boys on farms in the state
throughout the present summer. The
boys are to be paid fair wages by the
farmers.

The season for water glass preser-
walton of eggs is now at hand. To
predict the precise moment at which
eggs will reach the lowest price, is
of course, a very uncertain matter. 1t
can, however, be said that in general
April and May are the two best
months in which to buy. Fortunately
the best eggs to preserve are those
that are produced during this period.
1t is perhaps still more futile to pre-
dict egg prices for next winter and
yet there are now certain indications
that eggs will be higher next Novem-
Der than ever before.
The Committee of Food Supply of

nish specific instructions to all those
who are interested in preserving at
this time enough eggs for next win

BUY OPTIONS in
new FAIRFIELD
FOR POWER SITE
Huge Power Plant Project
ed in Valley of the Rocky
River Is Report.
(Danbury News,)

The appearance in New Fairfield of
purchasing agents believed to repre-
sent a big power plant project, who
apparently have started to buy up
majority of the farms in the eastern
section of that town, is giving the
place the greatest sensation it has had
in years. alp+&aR
Although options have been secured
upon many pieces of property and
money has been paid in each instance
to bind the bargain, nothing has yet
been divulged as to purpose for which
the land is being acquired, except that
eventually it is to be flooded in con-
nection with some power project.
One story heard yesterday, both in
New Fairfield and in this city, is that
the Dupont Powder Co. is acquiring
the property, and while this may or
may not be true in part, it is the opin-
ion of men familiar with the situation,
that the actual scene of development
will be on the Rocky river, in the sec
ton known as Jerusalem, not far from
GAINESVILLE, in the town of New Mil
ford, and that the farms being acquir-
ed in New Fairfield will eventually
form the bed of an immense lake, ex-
tending back five miles or more from
Jerusalem.
The Rocky river drains Balls pond,
Neversink pond and Squantz pond in
the town of New Fairfield and also
receives the drainage of Sherman and
a large section of adjacent country. 1t
attains considerable size as it ap-
proaches the Housatonic, into which
it discharges, and the basin formed by
the stills about Squantz and Neversink
ponds, and extending eastward
towards the Housatonic, is said to be
almost ideal for the purpose of form
ing a huge lake for power purposes.
The Rocky River Power Co. is al
ready chartered and is one of several
corporations fromed for the purpose
of utilizing the waterpower of the
Housatonic river and its tributaries.
Anther company is building an i'm
mense dam across the Housatonic, a
few miles south of Newtown and a
lake extending back to Brookfeld will
be formed.
The Rocky River enterprise will
come into Danbury at a point near
Neversink pond, according to New
Fairfield men having knowledge of the

TABLE Linen AS
FOOD CONSERvER
IN ARMY CAMPS

Dallas, Texas, April 10.-Major E. T..
Steever, in command of the army avi-
alton school at Camp Dick, is demon
strating theory that white table
linen and silver table service are of
value as food conservation stimu-
lants. He contends that a well dressed
table creates g, feeling of contentment
among the soldiers, impels good man
ners and lessons food consumption
The tables at Camp Dick are graced
with white cloths, linen napkins and
real silver The cadets meals are no.
ticeably without the pell-mell attend
ant upon usual army meals.
A bare counter, the major argues,
and a lack of table manners, cause
nine men out of ten to eat more than
they need. So the major figures that
at the price Of laundering the linens
one cent day a mamie saves a dol
lars worth of food.
The mess hall at Camp Dick will
seat nearly 1900 men at one time.
The negro walters first place the cold
food on the table. A few minutes be-
fore the arrival of the cadets the hot
food is placed around the tables. Led
by the band the squadrons enter the
dining hall and file to their places.
Only the officers in charge of the
squadron is with them. At the COM
mand uncover" every hat is taken
off; Seats" all are seated, and 'rest, !"
they relax and begin eating. While
they eat the band plays popular airs.
David F. Houston, secretary of ag-
riculture, was in Dallas recently and
ate mess at Camp Dick. There is al
ways a table for visitors and while
the secretary's visit was unexpected
and no special preparation had been
made for him, he expressed himself
as highly pleased with the menu, both
as to it's quality and quantity.
This was the menu the day Of the
secTetary's visit:
Breakfast: Apples, corn meal mush
with cream, broiled ham, hashed
brown potatoes, cinnamon rolls, cot
fee and milk.
Luncheon: Mexican slaw, broiled

Dinner: Sweet relish, sirloin steak

MILITARY PARTY
WINDS HERTLINC
AROUND FINGERS

New York, April Count Won
Hertling, the imperial German chan
naIlor is "only the signboard of the
government which is controlled by the
military party in which Gen. Luden-
dorff is the ruling factor" declared
Deputy Haase, independent Socialist,
in the German Reichstag on Feb. 81.
According to German newspapers
received here the deputy severely
scored the policy of the, government
and said that before the war his party
had demanded for Alsace-Lorraine full
autonomy within the empire. Dis
cussing the German foreign policy,
Deputy Haase said:
1T must be incomprehensible to all
Socialists that hundreds of thousands
are sacrificed solely for the sake of
Alsace-Lorraine. The bourgeois part
les assert that in case of a referendum
the population of Alsace-Lorraine
would decide in favor of Germany.
why then do they oppose to the ut
most the plan for such a referendum.
1.-THE way peace is being made in
the east can only injure Germany.
Does anyone believe that in view Of
the Russian ultimatum any other gov
eminent which has not collapsed total
ly would enter into negotiations for
a separate peace with Germany"
Deputy Haase charged that Russian
wireless reports regarding peace had
been withheld from the Reichstag by
the German government. Referring
to the recent Berlin strike, he said the
government had succeeded in creating
great bitterness among the laboring
classes.
