CONFIDENT THAT NORWICH
WILL REsPOND TO ARMY

There is no reason why Norwich
shouldn't go over the top in the Saliva
ton Army drive and I believe The Rose
Will do it, said Campaign Manager
Norman J. Nicks Sunday night at the
campaign headquarters in the Auditori-
UNI hotel. Mr.. Hicks said he had no
figures to announce for publication but
he expects to be able to announce the
totals each evening from now on while
the campaign lasts.
Mr.. Hicks has just completed a very
strenuous two weeks. He has not only
the campaign in Norwich to handle, but
similar campaigns in some thirty towns
in New London, Windham and Middle
sex counties During the past few days
he has made flying visits to a number
of the surrounding towns, his last stop
being Stonington Sunday afternoon. and
he found the various campaigns well I'M
der way in the towns he visited, with In
dications pointing to success.

CONSERVATION WAS SUBJECT

The group of men who attended the
Y NJ C. A. rally Sunday afternoon thor
oughly enjoyed the hour. Swahn's or

accompanied the singing of the popular
hymns, and after the responsive read

Conservation, taking his text from John

UNCOUPLE CARS ON FREIGHT TRAIN

When this was discovered the front
section of the train was run back again
and the freight crew recoupled the cars
and made another start for New London.
But the trouble makers got in their work
once more and managed to cut off the rear
end again The persons who were doing
the mischief hid along the line somewhere
and pulled the coupling pins each time as
fast as the train crew got ready to start
The train crew of five could not watch
the entire length of the train and finally
gave up trying to move all go cars at
once After an hours work they got the
train all together again and ready to go
on to New London by running the for
ward section down-.nto the freight yard
on Laurel Hill and going back after the
rear section that had been cut off.
This trick is one that is played at
times on freight crews, but has not often
been done here. If the train crew could
get its hands on the perpetrators of the
outrage, they would be likely to take
summary measures to cure them of the
habit.

Some persons unknown, presumably
boys or young men, pulled the coupling
pins on the boat-freight on the Norwich
and Worcester division of the New Haven
road in this city late Sunday afternoon,
delaying the train for an hour and hold
ing up a passenger train that could not
proceed till the freight had got out of the
way
This freight train from Worcester,
made up of about 60 cars loaded for New
London with freight to be transferred to
the New York boat, arrived in this city
about $40, making the usual stop at the
New Haven station for the engineer to
report for orders. With the engine at
the station, the rear end of the long train
reached way up to near the gas and
electric light works, and it was north of
the tunnel under Main street that the
mischief makers got in their work by I'M
coupling number of the cars while the
train had stopped. When the engineer
started for New London again he soon
found that he had only about half his
train, the rear end having been cut off

MAPLE SUGAR CROP IN

n. K. WAS AVERAGE ONE
The field agent of the United States
department of agriculture reports that
the maple sugar crop of New England
this spring was an average one. The
crop has sold well. Figured at the aV-
erage price received by makers when
sold to the retail market, the tdtaa
value OF the croy for New England is So
77s.55s: for Maine, $1S6,9S4; New
Hampshire, $685. $50; Vermont $685.
500; Massachusetts. s23s,955; Connec-
ticut, $4,000.
The demand was much stronger for
syrup than for sugar hence much more
than usual of the total was made into
syrup. 1t is estimated that Vermont
made SOC, oo0 gallons, this being about
65 per cent, of the total production,
whereas usually, only about 95 percent.
to 40 per cent goes into syrup. More
trees were tapped than last year in
Maine, New Hampshire, Massachusetts
and Connecticut, but Vermont tapped
about the same number. Mt was i'm
possible to get eonugh help to tap larg-
er numbers of trees there. The average
Yield per tree is higher throughout New
England than it was last year, but is
enly about avoreg, being 1913 pounds.
The average yield in Vermont was 2
pounds
