Ellsworth Team Won Two More
Games Last Week.
The Ellsworth baseball team took two
more scalps at Wyman park last week.
In the twilight game Thursday evening,
the snappy team from Hancock Point
tried conclusions with the Ellsworth
nine. A shake-up in the lineup OF
the home team gave the visitors an OPP
portunity for a runaway start.
Austin, the high school pitcher, was
sent up against the heavy hitters from
Crabtree's Neck, who scored four runs
in the first inning. After that he held
them for two more innings, and then
Jordan, the regular pitcher of the Ellis
worth team, went into the box, and soon
had the visitors guessing on his fast
ones.
The visitors held the lead until the
eighth inning, when Ellsworth scored
three men and took lead OF one. The
Hancock Pointers put up good fielding
game, but were weak in the box, and the
Ellsworth batters found them easily.
The score by innings:

Hancock Point 4 0 0 2 0 l 0 0 OF
Ellsworth 2 0 0 800 0 Ks
Saturdays game was with Cherryfield.
The Ellsworth battery, Jordan and Linne-
han, was hurt. Jordan was spiked
just above the ankle in the first inning,
and in the sixth inning, Linnehan split
his finger, but neither of the injuries was
serious.
The game, up to the sixth inning, was a
walk-over for Ellsworth, Lounder allow
ing the visitors only three runs. Then
Linnehan split his finger and was relieved
by JOY, and Jordan, crippled as be was,
relieved Lounder in the box. The shake
up in the in-field gave Che rryfield its op-
portunity, and the visitors scored four
runs in the seventh and five in the ninth,
but lacked one OF overcoming Ellsworth's
lead.

CAMPAIGN FOR ONE
THOUSAND FARMERS

Plans for a membership campaign
to secure one thousand new men and
women members of the Windham
County Farmers Association during
the week of the Statewide Farm Blu
reau membership drive, which will be
held April 7th to 18th, have been out
lined by the Association membership
committee, composed of C. b. rome-
roy, Wiliimantic; S. H. Peckham,
Woodstock, and Whitman Danielson,
Putnam.
The committee feels that the Asso-
citation is making itself of much value
to the agricultural interests of the
county, and it merits the support of
every Windham County farmer. This
support is needed by the Association
to make its work cover a wider field,
that ii may be of added value to
farmers as time goes on, and to assist
in putting the organization on a
sound financial basis.
The fiscal year for the Association
ends July first, and members taken
in during this special campaign will
be given a membership until July LIST,
1920. Regular membership in the
Association is one dollar, contribut-
ing membership five dollars, and sus-
tanning membership ten dollars.
The committee has decided upon
April 9th as the one day of the cam
paign week when, in so far as posi-
BILE, all canvassing for members will
be carried out Each town will be di-
vided into districts canvassers APP
pointed, and an effort made to reach
every farmer in Windham County.
The present membership Of the as
ISOLATION by towns is as follows:

TWO MORE
WOODSTOCK BOYS

Two more Woodstock boys should
be added to the honor roll of that
town They are Charles Stevens Hen
ries and Alfred Williams, both of
Harrisvilie.
Henries is the only Woodstock boy
yet reported who has received a
French decoration of honor-the
Croix de Guerre. Henries was a run
ner and carried dispatches from
trench to trench which. it may easily
be imagined, was dangerous under
taking.
Anyone knowing of any other SOL
diers from Woodstock whose names
were omitted from the honor roll will
confer favor to the whole town by
sending them at once to DR.. E R.
Pike, East Woodstock.

PUTNAM CARRIER
CLOSE SECOND
George K. Allen, Willimantic,
Receives $10O Prize For
Largest Sale Of War Savings
Stamps.
George Clark of Putnam Only |. Little
Behind, Although He Did Not
Enter For Award

With total sales of War Savings
Stamps amounting to 4,4s4.75, the
largest amount sold by any mail car
rier in Connecticut, and probably in
the eastern states, George X. Allen of
Willimantic has been awarded a prize
of 500 in cash for the largest sales
by town or city carrier during the
year 1918. The award was made by
Howell Cheney, War Savings Direct
or for Connecticut during 1918.
While there was no second prize
and no announcement has been made
as to who stood next to the prize win
ner in amount of sales. Putnam peo-
pie will believe, until other figures are
forthcoming, that in Letter Carrier
George Clark they have number two
on the list. While Mr.. Clark did not
enter for the prize he did roll up
big total in the sale of stamps, and
has the proud record of ISL, 33S.00
for stamps sold, distributed and col
lected for. This is only So, 146,75
less than the Willimantic George, and
ought to receive some recognition, al
though Mr.. Clarke's failing to enter
would denote that he was not seeking
any reward further than the satisfac-
ton of making good showing and
doing all he could to help the govern
ment in the plan adopted to secure
loans from individuals.
Other prizes awarded were:
William J. Hamilton of Danbury
has been awarded a prize of 500 for
the largest sales made by R. F. d.
carrier during $1918. His total sales
amounted to $4,000
This contest of the postoffiee EN-
ployees was one of the principal feat
ures of the 1918 campaign. The com
petition was keen in the various
towns and cities, In discussing the
results former Director Cheney says:
s'While Messrs. Hamilton, Allen and
Clarity were awarded cash prizes for
the largest sales made, desire to eX-
tend a word of commentator to the
hundreds of postofiice employees who
rendered such valuable services dur
ing the 1918 drives. The success of
the campaign in Connecticut was to a
considerable extent, due to the rErir-
ing efforts of Uncle Sans postofice
employees"
