CANNING WORK
 IS LAGGING
Putnam Women Have Done Only One-Fourth of What
 Was Allotted Them
Pomfret Is Leading Community, and
 Has Doubled It's Quota

Putnam is tagging behind in its canning work This fact was made evident this week when Miss Char lctte Embleton, home economics de monstrator of the Windham County Farmers Association, compiled the figures that show what each eommuni- ty in the county is doing in the con servation movement Early this spring each town was given an allot- ment of definite number of quarts of produce to be canned by it's wo- men. According to Miss Embelton's s of the county, for it's quota of 5000 quarts has already been doubled, and the work Is still going on. Ashford, Brooklyn, Thompson and Woodstock have also passed their goals At the Connecticut Fair in Hartford this week there was exhibited q huge map of the state, and each town that has exceeded it's canning quota was desig- mated with gold star Putnam was net SO honored. and H4isher was Dan

 Ee,e three is far behind what was re ,,ui ed of it. Put m had 50.0o0 eear,s to preserve 2 I'd less than one fourth of this has been done Daniel son. with the same allotment, has done somewhat better Willimantic is a poor third and has done only one eighth of the 50,0o0 quarts allotted
 In telling of the work, Miss Emble- ton states that the quotas for Put nam. Danielson and Willimantic were exceptionally large, and the poor showing is to be explained by this fact Work is still going on, and To- cal figures will unqueStionably be much larger later in the fall

BE AS BIG AS YOUR JOB.

The national war-labor conference is
a thing of the past. But the spirit Of
enthusiasm manifested at its sessions
must be a thing Of the present and the
future. II must be carried into every
district and state by the district super
intendents and state directors who at
tended the conference sessions. II must
be transmitted to every agent Of the
employment service and every local
agent of the public service reserve.
Without II, we cannot put through the
tremendous Job given to the service
the recruiting of the great industrial
army without which our valiant army
and navy would be helpless. Red tape,
a bureaucratic spirit, s-5servience to
local interests, unwilllngness to coop
erate-these have no place In the
United States employment service.
The vision Of every man and woman
connected with the service and the
reserves must be as big and broad as
the task. and the vision must be made
Fraction, by its translation into the
daily routine. We have a big job; let
every one Of Us be big enough to do
his or her part.

NEW POTENTIAL IN WEST.

Some far-reaching plans are being
laid at Washington for the rehabilita-
ton Of wounded and sick soldiers, but
the plans Of some enterprising West
erners go much further, says Phila-
deIphia Bulletin. They propose to de-
veIop irrigation to an extent never be-
fore even contemplated, aid, by i'm
pounding practically all the water in
the far West, make il do duty in
agriculture and at the same time fur
nlsh light, heat and power to COM
munlties as yet unborn. Taking only
the actual surveys, it is declared that
millions Of acres Of waste land can
be redeemed on which returning sol
diers are expected &c settle. Realizing
that many young men from the cities
will have had a taste Of open-air
life which will lead them to farm, il
is proposed to have the country ready
made for the returning battaliOns. The
sums proposed are not large compared
with attainable results already demon
strated. We have become SO used to
thinking In billions that few hun
dred millions now seem Of no cOnse-
quence, although formerly We stood
aghast at such suggestion. The far
Western people declare that with ma
tfnnal aid they can make all the deserts
blossom, can secure light, heat, and
power sufficient for unlimited manu-
featuring, and can help pay the war
debt.

Saved a Million Tons.

One and a quarter million tons OF
coal have been saved during the seven
months operation Of the daylight
saving" law, according to figures
compiled by the United States Fuel
Administration When congress en-
acted the Law 10 set the clocks of the
nation ahead one hour, beginning on
Sunday, March 81 and ending Oct .
y, the fuel administration made
plans 10 gather facts from many sour
ces in various sections in order to
determine the saving in fuel that
might be effected by the operation of
the law. Figures from this data have
been compiled and from them there
Is made the estimate of the coal
saved
Among the many places which
kept close watch on the operation of
daylight saving, - very definite facts
were obtained from one community
of about 1000, 900 population 1t was
SHOWN that in this one district the
saving Of coal was seventeen and one
half tons per 1000 population over
the period Of seven months. These
figures were checked against records
obtained from other places III widely
separated districts having the same
relative conditions, aud from the
mass of facts thus gathered the es-
innate of ,250,00 tons of coal saved
is determined.

to eat your dessert first. Nowadays a

his dessert. By putting the dessert out
IN front, he would attain his objective
directly, and thousands of pounds OF
