In the cultivation of gardens, Plain- ville must stand well in comparison to other places as there is hardly a man in town who is not the proud owner of a garden of some descrip- tion. Saturday afternoon the farming army, equipped with hoes and other pharaphenalia used by a full fledged agriculturalist, sfarted its attack on the soil and yesterday a large num- ber were out to continue the work. The gardens on the Plainville Realty campany’s property, which are being cultivated by employes of the Trum- bull Electric company, looked like a concentration camp, a large number of men assembling to look after their plots.

Plainville has over a score of young t men enlisted in the army or some branch of the naval service at the present time. There are a number of other local sons of Uncle Sam who are willing to do their part and it is not expected that the authorities will be compelled to invoke the law on any of those between the ages of 21 and 30 to get them to register.
