BOND SLACKERS COME ACROSS
Jasper County Defense Council, Rounds
Up Those Who Refused to b
5 Subscribe to Liberty Loan

Newton, April 15.-Severai obstrep-
erOus individuals were brought before
the Jasper county council of defense
and made to explain why they didn't
take kindly to buying bonds and why
they even went so far as to make re
marks like: ITO He'll With the Red
Cross. Y NJ. c. A. and Liberty Loan"
All the men who were before the com.
mlttee were not guilty of such re.
marks but some were. And all were
guilty of making some very strong
statements OF one Kind and another TO
the committees that waited on Them
for their liberty loan subscription
The first man to be summoned be.
fore the defense council was ID. A. Van
Zante Of Sully. Under pressure he had
purchased $1,000 bond as per his as.
.sessment but to show his contempt for
the loan and the government he had
sold the bond instantly in the pres
enee of many Sully business men for
$S00--taking loss of $780, Those who
saw the transaction looked upon IL
as an attempt. to obstruct the loan and
he was reported at once to the county
council Of defense Mr.. Van Zante was
notified to appear at Newton yesterday
afternoon which he did. Fearing that
his action might get him into trouble
he had taken the precaution to buy
his bond back before coming to New.
ton. ~,
Mr.. Van Zante was meek man
when he was called upon for an ex-
PLANTATION of his attitude. After his
case had been heard he was informed
that in the judgment Of the defense
council patriotic jury he should buy
$1,000 more of the bonds and sive his
check for 5000 TO the Red Cross and
another check of the same dimensions
to the army Y. M. c. A. To date he had
failed to support either organization.
Mr.. Van Zante accepted the judy
ment without word of complaint and
even went so far as to say, Gentlemen
III do anything you say. | believe |
have been in the wrong"
The next case to be tried was that
of William Kubbernus who had refus-
ed his assessment OF 81 900 for bonds
by buying only 5000 worth. After he
mad told the council about his wealth
it was deciood to ask for an additional
81, 900 purchase of the bonds and to
impose fine of SIS, to the Red Cross
and $25 to the army Y. NJ. C. A.---two
organizations connected with the war
that had been woefully neglected by
Mr.. Kubbernus. The judgment of the
council of defense was accepted and
the checks were left, at the liberty loan
headquarters by Mr., Kuhbernus.
The third man to be brought to the
loan headquarters WAS William Kors
meier of the Laurel neighborhood. He
had turned down the soliciting COM
mittee with some rather strong Ian
guage and refused to make $3.50 pur-
chase of the bonds He was asked 10
buy $500 worth and TO leave his check
for sos to the Red Cross and $50 to
the army Y. NJ. C. A. which he gladly
did. He was told by both chairman H.
B. Allfree and Attorney e. ]. Salmon
that had he been in the German army
instead of in America and had told
German captain what he told the
men who asked him to buy bonds he
would have been made dead man in
short order.

BROWN RICE BETTER THAN
the POLISHED-ASk FOR 1T

Rice as sold by our grocers Is
a pretty grain with a smooth
and shiny surface, attractive to
the eye, but lacks the palatabls-
ness that makes foods popular.
This rice has been so highly
milled that 1t has been robbed
Of much Of It's food value and
Of most Of Its oily fiavoring mat
ter, leaving q product known
to the trade as polished rice,
which to many persons Is taste
less. If the American housewife
could be induced to demand
brown rice instead Of taking the
polished product, there would be
a marked increased consump-
ton OF this cereal In q very
short time, due in part II not
entirely to the pleasing favor
of the kernel.

rome layer, and germ, which contains
much protein and other important food
constituents, are removed. reducing
greatly the nutritive value of the
grain. The real difference between
these two mill products Is largely in
the coating of the polished rice with
glucose and tale, and the absence of
coating material on the unpublished.
The superiority of the brown rice
over either of these lies In the fact
that the entire seed as nature pro-
duced it is used, except the inclosing
husks or hulls. which have been re-
moved.

RICE FAVORED AS
NUTRITIOUS FOOD
1t Consumption Could Be In
creased in United States More
Wheat Could Be Saved.
GREAT VALUE NOT REALIZED
Most important Article Of Diet In
China and Japan-Inereased Pro-
duetion Would Release Grain
for Our Allies.

/ Here In the United. States II Is diff
cult to realize that there is no other
edible product, excepting meat, upon
which more people in the world are de-
pendent for food, than rice. We might
adyantageously consume much greater
quantities of this nutritious food and
grow the increase in our own rice
fields, according to the 1918 crOp-pro-
duction program recently announced
by the United States department OF
agriculture. An increased production
and consumption not only would ex-
lpand profitable industry, the federal
specialists declare, but the eating Of
more rice In the place Of wheat would
release greater quantity of the bread
grain for shipment to the allies.
Per Capita Consumption.
The average per capita consumption
of rice for food In this country is
scarcely six pounds a year. and most
of this is consumed in the Southern
states. The high esteem in which rice
Is held In other countries is indicated,
by their per capita consumption. Nor
way and Sweden consume over 8
pounds per capita; Russia over IL
pounds; England, % pounds; France,
"a pounds; Italy, over 101 pounds, and
Germany more than SO pounds. But
even these European countries do not
begin to eat as much rice as Japan,
and China. There rice is the most i'm

woman and child in Japan, on the av-
erage, consumes 147 pounds of rice
each year, and those in China, 1853
pounds. The placing of such depend
ence upon rice as staple food GER
itainly proves beyond a doubt that it is
highly nutritious; analysis OF rice sup
ports this proof. Pound for pound rice
is about as nutritious as wheat. Every
100 pounds of cleaned rice contains
877 pounds of nutriment, of which 8
pounds are protein, 0.3 pounds fat. 70,
pounds carbohydrates, and o. pound
ash. The analysis of wheat -four shows
that 1t contains 81 pounds of nutri-
ment Id each 100 pounds, of which 1913
pounds are protein, IL pounds fat, 74.S'
pounds carbohydrates. and 0.4 pound
ash. Thus the total nutrlment I'm rice
Is trifie greater than In wheat.
Wheat has the advantage in protein
and rice in carbohydrates.
Foodstuff for Orient.
Although rice is the great foodstuff
Of the Orient, It is not used there in
making raised bread. In this coun-
try dietitians have made excellent
bread by substituting as high as 25
per cent Of rice for wheat -four. and
have obtained white yeast bread of
excellent flavor.
Unpublished rice is offered and ac-
cepted as a product superior to the
polished rice,' but in reality its food
value Is only better by so small de-
gree that It is practically negligible.

WARD ESTATES
 DIVIDED BETWEEN THREE CLAIMANTS

Under a decision of the Supreme Court of Errors, the Superior court of this county is directed to find judg- ment in the distribution of the estate of Lucinda J. Ward, of Bridgeport, deceased, in favor of Harriet M.Ward, Mary Elizabeth Ward, and Brownlee Robertson Ward, as properly entitled to the estate under the will and cod iciI of Lucinda J. Ward. Only the finding has been made public, and the opinion by Justice Beach, in which all concur, has not been received here.
 The decision is in the appeal of Jo- seph B. Morse of New Haven, trustee and executor under the will of the de- ceased, and was taken to the Supreme court under a reservation for that court to determine who was entitled to the property.
 Mrs. Ward died in Bridgeport, April 14, 1901, leaving both real and per- sonal property in Bridgeport. The will was executed January g, 1894, and a codicil was added January 23,1900. The will named Joseph B. Morse and Charles Samuel Ward as trustees, the entire estate being devised to said trustee under the will. Charles Sam uel Ward died previous to the testa- trix.
 Morse as trustee asked the Superior court to construe certain portions of the will The case was filed for the Superior court in October, 1916. It is this suit which has now been decided by the Supreme court directed that the estate be divided equally between liar riet M. and Mary Elizabeth Ward and Brownlee Robertson Ward, heirs-at- law.
 The affairs of the Ward estate have been in the courts since probate of the will, and have afforded much bus mess. Morse, trustee was removed by the Probate court for failure to obey and order regarding accounting, and w. H. Comley, Jr., was named trustee. Morse appealed from his removal. All of the question at issue were re- | served to the Supreme court by stip- ulation filed December IA last. before Judge Howard J. Curtis.
 No error is found in the suit of Evelyn c. Boyle against Mahoney & Tierney. The plaintiff is the widow of William Boyle, who, on. July 1, 1915, was drowned while in the em- ploy of the defendant, running motor boats at a pleasure resort conducted by them. Compensation was granted by compensation commissioner as death had arisen from Boyle's em- ployment. Contention of the defend ants was that they employed less than five persons and were exempt from operation of compensation law. The commissioner found they employed more than five persons. Award was upheld in the Superior court of Fair
 field county and defendant appealed, All concurred.

SCHOOL PUPILS
 INVITE PARENTS
 TO A WAR RALLY.

Announcement was made today to the pupils of the Shelton school, ask ing them to extend to their parents and other persons residing in the neighborhood of the school, the invi- tation of the Bridgeport War Bureau, to attend patriotic rally, which will be held tomorrow, Thursday, March 14th, at p. m., at the Shelton school.
 Posters and placards have been dis tributed through the district, and it is anticipated that there will be a large attendance to hear two highly interesting speeches on the war, to be delivered by the Hon. Robert l.. Nun ger of Ansonia, and the Hon. Jacob B. Klein, of this city. The address to be delivered by these gentlemen will carry an important message in pat riotism to everyone who attends, and it is hoped that the attendance will be so large as to tax to it's utmost the capacity of the auditorium of the school.
 Those who attend will hear the as- tonishing details of the great plot which has been worked out by the kaiser, and his autocrats, for the complete domination and subjugatior of one hundred million people, either as slaves or as subject races to the hohenzollern.

STOCK MARKET

New York, March 13.-Opening.- Trading was extremely light at the opening of today's stock market, with the usual mixed changes. Advances of a point in Western Union, Ameri- can Sugar and American Telephone were balanced by recessipns of as much in St. Paul preferred and Unit ed Cigars. Southern Pacific yielded a. substantial fraction, while Reading hardened. United States Steel and kindred industrials were irregular. Among speciaIties Tidewater Oil rose two points and Sears Roebuck lost 1 3-8.
 Noon-Selling of speculative equip ments and another reversal in Ameri- can Telephone created further irreg- ularity later. Recessions of 1 to F points marked the course of Pressed Steel Car, Baldwin Locomotive, Gen eral Electric, Pullman and some of the tobaccos. General Motors also reacted with Bethlehem Steel, but United States Steel resisted pressure and railroads with the exception of Norfolk & Western were firm to strong, likewise the shippings. Lib ert 3ks sold at 97.5O to 97.52, the first As at 96.24 to 9632, and the sec- ond As at 96.04 to 96.16.
