Already a number of men have pledged themselves to work one day a week at the Municipal Farm in Stan- ley Quarter, it was reported at the ‘weekly meeting last night, and Chair- man H. S. Tallard said that in many single instances men who had not even been approached had showed their &ivic interest by voluntarily coming to the farm to work. More men are needed each day however, and if a sufficient number can be secured for the next week or ten days the call for volunteers will not be ioud thereafter. Already a few - potato bugs are manifesting themselves at the farm; but due to their early discovery there is no doubt that they will be extermi- nated before any damage is done, the committee believes. Already the sup- ply of germ exterminator has arrived and the big spraying machine is ex- pected daily. George M. Landers, chairman of the state food commission, has promised ta get the machinery of his office at work immediately to hustle the shipment of the sprayer, which left' Elmira, N. Y., on June 20 and if he is unable to obtain satisfaction the matter will be taken up with the gov- ernmental authorities at Washington, through the office of H. C. Hoover, as it is Imperative that these farming im- plements arrive at once. SUNDAY SCHOOL PICNIC.

D ICKINSON = DRUG CO., TABS INTENT UPON JUST PUNISHMENT Threaten to Gomplam to Secre- tary of War Baker The Y. M. T. A. & B. society held a special meeting last night to take action on what they claim to be of- fensive remarks made to their mem- bers by Cook Arthur Anderson of Company E, First Infantry, during a recruiting rally in front of :the club- house on Tuesday evening. The meet- ing was largely attended and the members voted to take all necessary steps, even to expending as much money as necessary, in order to have the alleged insults brought to the at- tention of the proper military of- ficials. The members went so far as to threaten to take the matter to the attention of Secretary of War Newton D. Baker in case state officers give them no satisfaction in punishing the soldier. President Albert N. Volz appointed a special committee to prefer formal charges against Cook Anderson and, it is said, these will be presented to Lieutenant Ashley J. Griffin and if he fails to take action the attention of Adjutant General Cole or even Sec- retary Baker will be called to the matter. Lieutenant Griffin left the city this morhing and will not return until late tonight or tomorrow, but before going he stated that he had received no official complaint from the ‘“Tabs.” Members of Company E, while not necessarily taking sides in the con- troversy, are inclined to believe that, the Tabs’ are making a great deal of trouble over an unimportant matter. They have stated that Cook Ander- son's statement yesterday that he regrefted any personal affronts he may have caused and did not intend to be insulting should suffice. Re- garding the threat of the soclety to bring the matter to the attention of the secretary of war, military men state that the idea is sufficiently ab- surb to be humorous. The idea . of the secretary of war, burdened with the management of the entire army, paying any heed to a petty argument between an individual soldier, who was not acting in any official ca- pacity at the time of the alleged of- fense, and a society s regarded as prepostrous by army men. Because Company E has already over 150 men attached to the com- mand, the regimental recruiting offi- cers are not sending any more re- cruits to this company, ajthough re- cruits from New Britain are still be- ing enlisted. Today two young men expressed a desire to enlist, but de- clined to enlist unless they could be assured that they would be assigned to Company E. They went to Hart- ford to try and make satisfactory ar- rangements. Routine work of drilling continuea at the camp in the park. Events Tonight Lyceum theater, masterpiecé photo productions.
