STATE GUARD WINS
 COL. BURPEE'S PRAISE.
Third Regiment Highly Commended
 for Field Day at Stonineton.

The work of the Third infantry, Con- necticut State guard, at it's mobiliza- ton and field day at Major Charles P. Williams estate in Stonington. June 2, has called forth the commendation of Major General Lucien F. Burpee of Hartford, commanding general of the state. In a letter to Colonel E. T. Kirkland of New London, commander of the regiment, Major General Burpee praised the regiment highly. Major General Burpee's letter follows:
 Your detailed report of duty per formed by your command at Williams field, Stonington June ? 1918, has been received. It is noted with great pleas ure that S6 per cent of the strength of your district was present and also that the general opinion was that the mo- bilization was of great benefit to all the organizations
 The drills and ceremonies witnessed by the governor and myself were re- markedly well executed and consider ing the limited means of instruction which the men had during the past winter were most creditable. The most encouraging feature of all however, was the fine spirit shown by the men. not only in their large attendance. but also in their attention to instructions and their interest in their work. The State guard in the Third dis trict may well be relied upon for eff cient and businesslike service at any time"

CANNING AND DRYING DRIVE IN STATE
Campaign Plans Formulated By the Committee of Food Supply.

Complete plans for a canning and drying drive which will cover the en- tire state have been formulated by the committee of food supply. Con- necticut State Council of Defense. Miss M. Estella Sprague, Miss Maud E. Hayes and A. J. Brundage of the Connecticut Agricultural College are working upon this project and expect to call upon all local representatives and organizations in putting the cam- paign across
 Both canning and drying are made a feature of the campaign since it is evident that dehydration is becoming more and more popular and is safe and economical method for preserving food. It becomes especially important in the face of a possible shortage ot containers.
 Connecticut made an enviable rec. ord in its canning work last year running well under two per cent. ot spoilage according to reports received by the food committee from the United States Department of Agri- culture. In almost every case spoil. age was due to the use of stale pro. duct or to inferior equipment, rathel than to lack of proper methods O.
 handling Where proper precautions were taken there was very little ol no spoilage.
 Boys and girls are being called up
 on to take up the canning programme
 as a part of their Junior Food Arm, activity. At least 10000 boys ant
 girls are expected to join. quotas hay l ing been set for that number in Con necticut. Some counties have alread, enrolled large per cent. of thei quota and in every case the cam paign is being pushed.
