ASHFORD PATRIOTIC
Successful Corn Supper Attended by
 75-Proeeeds for Red Cross.

The Windham County Farm Bu- reau; cooperating with the Red Cross, held a very successful corn supper at Eastford last Friday evening. The supper, in charge of Mrs. Frost and her committee, was as follows: Corn chowder, tamale pie. hulled corn. seal loDed potatoes, corn bread, Indian pudding and coffee.
 Robdrt Scoville, Connecticut food administrator, gave very interesting talk on Food Conservation in the United; States. At the present time we have just half the amount Of wheat that we have normally. For this req son we are asked to limit the use of wheat to one and one-half pounds per person per week, until the new crop is available
 In regard to sugar. we have enough in the country if each one will use not more than the allotted amount, three pounds per person per month.
 There was an attendance of 75. The proceeds. amounting to S19.75, will be used for the Red Cross.

off the big driving shafts and other parts that it was necessary to discon- meet so as: to get the wrecked ma chimes ready for the run to the shops This work was watched with interest by spectators who have been regu- larly watching the clearing away of the wreckage. Some of the cars that were off the track have been lifted back onto trucks and also are ready to be taken away. One big steel coal car that had great bulge on one side was subjected to the torch treat ulent and the bulge section cut out.
 A Tedious Storm.
 An April snowstorm was the gift of the weather man to Putnamites on Friday morning. It wasn't a gift that drew much enthusiaSm-but there it was and the best had to be made of it. Throughout the day a mixture of rain, snow and sleet continued to add to the accumulation of white stuff that was upon the ground. It was re- called by some who had gardens last spring that snowstorm came after potatoes were planted. but later re- suits showed that the cop was not damaged.
 EIks' Etated Winners.
 Members of Putnam lodge of Elks were well pleased with the results of their whist, pool and billiard tourna- ment with the Bohemian club of Dan ielson. The Elks won the tournament by margin of Ill points and the silver trophy cup that was offered to l the victors. The tournament served 1 to make closer the relations between l the two organizations and the many members of them that represent the ] two towns and was altogether a very 1 satisfactory series. Incidentally sev | eral members of the Bohemians have l applied or will soon apply for mem bership in the Elks, in which order numbers of the Danielson men al- ready are listed here.
 Saving Five Tons of Flour a Year,
 It is announced that the Putnam inn of which E. c. Rogers is pro- prietor. is saving about 200 pounds o1 four a week as the result of usins fifty per cent. of wheat substitutes The bread and biscuits that are be. ing served are excellent in every re. spect, although somewhat darker thar when only wheat is used in makins them. The wheat saving being mad, at the hotel amounts to 0400 pounds
 a year, nthe basis of 200 pounds pc ! NSch, UT llldIl i've loIlS Ol IIOu to be saved in twelve months,
