The Victory Boys and Girls of the seventh and eighth grades of the Sa- cred Heart school are very grateful to all those who helped to make their entertainment and whist party such a great success. They wish to thank the merchants who so generously con tributed prizes for their whist party and the ladies who supplied the deco rations. furniture, bunting, etc, for the stage decorations. Former pupils of the Sacred Heart school assisted n the sale of tickets and had charge of the checking. One young gentleman generously sacrificed the pleasure of being a spectator to assist in the management of the lights and curtain
 Friends of the school will be glad to learn that the affair .was a great success financially. as the amount col lected was almost double that for which the pupils had pledged them selves.

In paying. a tribute to the men represented on the flag. the rec tor of the parish said that to speak to wives, mothers and sweethearts about such splendid fellows is a ministry fl om which a man might well shrink The lives Of these and of other brave women are fraught with anxiety. To each of them the most important man in the country is not the president but the postman. They watch him day by day through the window. and how they fear s<ast the handwriting be strange and bear i'll tidings! The mothers heart today lies wrapped up 5ia the envelope from her son in the service. In referring to the death of Arthur Scofeld. the Rev. MT. Smith went on to say that the glorious dead who had died for their country were not to be pitied, but to be honored and reverted by a grateful country. The only ones to be pitied were those who had profiteered and fattened them selves while men shed their blood and died that they might live. But retri- button comes swift and sure. and The that findeth his life shall lose it,'' for even while he is in the act of finding Fit. God is leading these young men over the long. long trail' to the home above. These lives are not wasted
 Death is not extinction. It is but the passing forward beyond the things of time and space where those who lost their lives shall find them.

MUSTER OUT ARE THE
 ORDERS AT SToRRS COLLEGE

What seems to be final orders from Washington were received at Storrs directing the commanding officer, Col William F. Flynn to demohilize and discharge all members of the Student Army Training Corps at the state az rtcultural college. Generalization will commence the week beginning Dec. with view of mastering all men out of the service by the twenty-first of December The nix-up in orders promulgated last week has now been corrected so that the men from Storrs will be honorably discharged from the army instead of merely dismissed as citizens because the college at Storrs opened later than the war department had supposed.
 President Charles L. Beach simul- taneousiy announced that beginning Jan. the state college would resume it's agricultural courses and that S. A. T. c. men who finished the terms work as prescribed by the war de-
 fsrtment would be given full credit
 towards an academic degree. A poll
 Of the soldier students showed that a
 surprisingly large number are already | planning to stay at Storrs and enroll for the regular college work. Presi- dent Beach went on to explain that not all military work would be given up because it was necessary under ar act of congress passed in 1862 for all 1 land grant colleges to include military
 drill in their eurricula in order to re- eeive federal aid.
 Secretary of War Baker has direct ed the committee on education to sec | that the college suffers no financia, 1 logs on account of alterations and ad- | ditions that have been made in order
 to conform with the war Departments requirements. It was necessary fol the college to double It's mess faeili- ] ties and in view of housing more thar twice the numoer of men that the dor l nitories were designed for, an outlay | of thousands of dollars was made ir order to conform with the govern ment's sanitary reeulatinns

BIG HERDS CONE
World War Wastes Europe's
Meat Supply.
American Stock Raisers Cooperate
With Food Administration in Con. '
servation Measures.

1t Is probable that Europe for many
years after the war will look to Al
great extent to America for it's meat
supply.
Europe's herds are dwindling underl
wars demands faster than they can bel
repleniSled
When the German armies retired
from occupied portions Of France and
Belgium approximately 100000 head
Of cattle were appropriated. This ad-,
dition virtually safeguarded Germany
from cattle shortage other nations now
suffer.
In England some 24OO, 900 acres Of
grass lands have by compulsory meas
urcs been forced into grain production,
thus reducing paSturage and hay lands.
A decliGing scale of maximum meat
prices for live cattle was ordained In
England, as follows: For September,
$l7.76 per hundred pounds; October,
SIPS; November and December,
$lG.OS, and for January, $l4.iO. The
evident intent Of this measure was to
drive the beef animals into market as
soon as possible.
According to official French figures,
the cattle Of France have decreased to
total of l.,S4l 800 as compared with
l4,SOI 900 in 1913. Today, due to lack
OF forage principally, France is pro-
durins only one gallon of milk where
before the war two and one half gall
Ions were produced.
Meantime the United States food ad-
miniStration has taken steps to con.
serve our hocks and herds and to in
crease their numbers. The stock breed
erS OF this country show Il disposition
to cooperate with the government in
this.
For many years it has been prac-
tice among many of the dairy people
of this country to kill male calves at
birth and in many instances the fe-
males IL not needed to replcnish their
herds rather than 80 to the expense Of
maturing them into veal. The high
prices Of meat caused the virtual dis.
encouraging fact is Is per cent. of
calves killed for veal this year were
males
Somebody has very aptly said that
the wars of the world have been won
with grease, meaning that bacon and
lard have been as essential la success
In war as powder. which is true.
The hogs of Europe have been very
greatly sacrificed to present day needs.
/ This makes the American burden all
the more heavy and makes dullbly es-
, Scntal an increased pork production
In this nation. In Italy grain is now
forbidden to be fed to- hogs. In Dem
mark under Il recent order onr-tourth
of the hogs We're ordered to be killed,
1t is estimated that onc-half have now
been killed.
