FALLS VILLAGE SOLDIER
DIES AT CAMP DEVENS
Corporal Howard B. Egleston
Is First From That Town to
Give Life for Country /

Corporal Howard B. Egleston, only
son of Mr.. and Mrs. Fred E. EglestoTi
is the first soldier from Falls Village
to give his life for his country from
that town. The entire village mourns
the death of this young soldier who
left for Camp Devens on July 25th
with a contingent of Selective Ser
vice men from this district and even
though he had not seen the enemy,
his life has nevertheless been given
for his country.
Corporal Egleston was born &C
Falls Village on February "a, 1894
and had always lived in that place.
He was one of the towns popular
young men, having taken an active
part in the various organizations
where he lived. He was member
of the Methodist church and Epworth
League, secretary of the Falls Village
Volunteer Fire Department, Corporal
in Company M of the State Guard
and member of Montgomery Lodge

high school at Canaan and New Mil
ford and about two years ago he
passed the civil service examination
and was appointed rural mail carrier
on Route No. from Falls Village to
South Canaan Huntsville, and Corn
wall Hollow.
On July 18th he left with a large
contingent of selected men for Camp
Devens and shortly after his arrival
there was made acting corporal in the
Depot Brigade. Later he passed the
examinations necessary to enter the
35th Machine Gun Battalion and at
the time of his death, resulting from
pneumonia, his name was on the list
for promotion.
The body arrived at Falls Village
on Friday and funeral services were
held at the Methodist church on Sun
day afternoon. The services while
simple were very impressive and of
a military nature. Rev. M. H. Pres
sey and Rev. E. A. Hazeltine offici-
ated. The pail bearers, all members
of Co. M Of the state guard, were !:
Seargeants Mackie, Kellogg, Hubbell,
Company Clerk J. S. Tracy and Pri-
Yates Morse and Ayres.
At Grassy Hill cemetery, where
burial took place, a firing squad
from Co. M paid the last tribute of
military respect to, the deceased apk
Bug1er Turina of the same company
sounded taps. The floral tributes
were many and beautiful.

"WOMEN IN WAR WORK
DAY" OCTOBER 18TH
North Canaan to Celebrate Day
Set Aside for Women in
War Work

Millions of women in the United
States are engaged in war work.
100000 serve as active workers in
the organization of the National
Woman's Liberty Loan Committee.
10000 women are employed on the
railroads. Hundreds of thousands
of women are laboring in the NUM-
ton factories. Other hundreds of
thousands serve in clerical work d.
rectly related to the war. AS many
more are engaged in the Red Gross
and other activities for the ameliora-
ton of war conditions. The women
of America are doing their share in
the winning, of the war. 1t is fitting
that their service should be memorial
lied and Saturday, Oct. 9Th, has been
designated for observation in the
4th Liberty Loan Campaign as Wom-
en- in War Work Day."
The above announcement by the
Secretary of the Treasury has been
followed by a request by Mrs. Nc
Adoo that the day be observed as
widely as possible. Owing to the
prevalence of influenza Canaan has
decided to change the date to Oct.
18th, Columbus Day. A parade con-
sisting of picturesque and historical
features will be one of the many
attractions.
A food sale will be held in front of
the Exemption Board office, the
proceeds of which will go toward
buying a Liberty bond for the local
Red Gross. The women of Canaan
are again asked to respond as gen.
erously to the committees appeal for
food a sthey have in the past, that the
Liberty bond may be a generous
sized one.

FUEL. SITUATION
All Consumers to Receive Full
Amount Up to Ten Tons

A prediction that domestic consul
mers of less than ten tons of hard
coal would receive their full re-
quirements for this winter, but that
large consumers must cut down their
consumption of coal, was made by
Thomas W. Russell, U. S. Fuel Ad-
ministrator for Connecticut, in an
official statement issued at the Capt.
toll today.
Mr.. Russell, discussing the general
fuel situation in Connecticut, said he
anticipated no suffering during the
coming winter, provided proper dis
t-ib2tion was effected. He said that
more homes had received coal to
date than ever before, but at the
same time gave the impression that
the proper distribution of coal de-
pended on the ability of domestic
consumers of more than ten tons to
get along, if need be, on two-thirds
Of their requirements.

WIN. oSTROUT WRITES
Says the Huns are Greatest Runners
He Ever Saw

The following letter was received
by Mr.. and Mrs. VIM. Schmidt from
William Ostrout, and was written on
stationery of the lie Foyer du Soldat,
or French Y. M. c. A. i
Dear Friends
Just line to let you know | am
still alive and still in hopes of getting
my pies.
I mean II The rats do not get me
first, every night they have fight of
their own in my billet and the side
that wins are going to have me, but
l think by that time the Coolies will
beat them out Between the buzzing
of the planes over head and the guns
below, it is hard for one to think
what to write.
Bill l have seen a number of the
Conn. boys, l suppose you have heard
by now, the name they have won for
themselves and they are going to be
heard from again before we are
through with these devils.
1t has been weeks since we have
received any mail and have not seen
a paper for some time, so guess you
know more then we can tell you
about the war, but Bill old boy, these
huns are good runners. If you only
had some of them back in the states
Labor Day you would had some
track meet. Our boys cannot catch
them all, but are sure getting a lot
of them. How are all the boys?
Remember me to the whole company,
and the boys on the crew in fact all
you happen to meet of my friends,
l cannot write to them all, and this
is the only way can get in touch
with them.
Well dear friends, l will bid you a
fond good night, hoping you are we'll

CROWD OF ABOUT 700
SEE WAR RELICS TRAIN
Soldiers of the Allies Make In
spring Appeal for the Pur-
ST. chase of Bonds

Inc var Relics Train arrived at
the North Canaan station on schedule
time Wednesday afternoon. Bombs
announcing the trains together with
the changing of the church bells and
the shrek of the siren, made known
to all that something out of the or
binary was transpiring. And it was
out of the ordinary. Few people
from this town have ever before
witnessed an exhibition of the in
struments of warfare such as were
seen on the War Relics train.
The train consisted of two fiat cars
and two coaches and was in charge of
Charles F. johnson, representative
of the Lib 4rty Loan Committee of
New England. There are two such
trains, the one coming to this town
being known as No. 2, and is tour
ing Connecticut in the interests of
the Fourth Liberty Loan campaign.
Both trains left Boston on Sunday,
September 28th.
Assigned to the train as speakers
are: Interpreter Lebert, who served
S"o years IIlS ISlCIl anu 10
now attached to the American army
as interpreter. He was also a pro-
fessor at the University of Wisconsin.
Private Verify of the Foreign Lee
gion has served three years in the
French army. He is the only one of
the speakers who does not speak
English. Both Interpreter Lebert
and Private Verify have been decor
ated with the Croix de Geurre.
Lieutenant Ralph Lewis served
NEARLY two years in the trenches with
the 25th Canadian Overseas Battal-
ion. He enlisted as a private and
was promoted to Lieutenant after
the battle of the Somme. Not only
has he been wounded many times,
but he has also, together with two
brothers, been decorated with the
Military Medal. by King George.
Lieutenant Lewis told many humor-
Gus incidents of the trenches and
concluded with an urgent appeal to
back up the boys with bonds.
Then there was one of our Ameri-
can boys there-Private Raymond
Schwartz of the 109th Regiment u.
IS. Infantry 18th Division, who
served in France for five months at
tsShateaux Thierry- and Fismess-He'-
was wounded and gassed on August
9th, 1918 and invalided home suffer
ing from shell shock. Three lusty
cheers were given to Private Sch
wartz as a representative of our
army. Private Schwartz told of his
experience in France and told the
people that we could do no less than
back up the boys cover there" by
purchasing Liberty Bonds.
Assigned to the train as guards
were Sergeant Ritz of the U. S.
Guards, 3rd Battalion and Privates
Spies, Green, Holm and Helm.
The equipment and ordnance
carried by the train included
French rs, German II, a German
howitzer, depth bombs, mines, gas
masks, machine guns, both German,
American and French, and many
other interesting exhibits.
By count, which is thought to be
accurate, there were TIC people who
passed through the train and in
spected the exhibits.
After the speaking canvassers
passed through the crowd with pledge
cards with the result that about
$4,000 in Liberty Bonds were sold.
The total sale of bonds has now been
raised to about 100000. At the
rate which the bonds are selling we
should easily attain our quota.

LICENSE NOT LIVE QUESTION


The license question, which has
always been the big issue in the Con-
necticut "small town" elections,
seems likely to take back seat this
year. Only twenty towns have indi-
Gated to the state secretary that they
are to take vote on the licensing of
the sale of Intoxicating liquors. In
former years about fifty towns have
voted on the question and in some
years the number has been even
greater.
Officials at the state secretary's
office and politicians generally attri-
butte this fact to the governments
order stopping the manufacture OF
beer in a few months. The "wets"
see no need of having a license, ex-
cept for a possible moral victory, and
the "drys" have adopted a compla-
cent attitude. The no-license back
ers are waging fights in twelve towns
this year, and the liquor supporters
are waging war in eight no-liceuse
towns.
For the first time in several Yeas
North Canaan will not vote on the
license question. Last year the
"drys" won by about seven votes,
and it was predicted that this year
the town would again swing into the
"wet" column. The national res
friction on liquor have undoubtedly
had much to 10 toward no petition
being filed. .#.

HOKE GETS IN TROUBLE

Atlanta, Ga, Jan. 21.-Hoke VII.
llams, colored, bought mule from
an Atlanta man, and decided afte,
two or three days that it was too bic
an investment for his limited means
considering the high price of mule.
and the high price of feed. So he
took the mule back to tht man he
bought it from, but the man refused
to accept the tender.
This didn't worry Hoke. He tied
the mule to post outside the stable
and went his way leaving the former
owner to take the animal when he
got ready. Next morning the mule
was almost frozen stiff, and the mule
man sent the police and had Hokt
arrested for cruelty to animals. Re-
corder Johnson fined him SIC, which
would have paid his next purchase
money note.
