There was a larse attendance and music was furnished by the Charter Oak orchestra of Hartford.

There are like- wise @ couple of cases of scarlet ! fever in the city of the Stanley Rule and Level | WAR BREAD IS T0 BE COMMON S00N G. M. Landers Makes This Predic- tion to Farm Committee George M. Landers, associated with the state and national food adminis- trations and also a member of the | Municipal Farm committee, at a meel- ing of that committee held at 5 o’clock yesterday afternoon gave an interesting summary of food condi- tions as they are today in the United States. His words were not especially optimistic and he predicted that the people will have to economize even more than they are now. He also predicted that by about December 15 war bread would be practically the | only kind of bread obtainable. This |is made, he explained from a flou: composed of about 75 per cent wheat and 25 per cent corn. He sald it can hardly be detected from the whole wheat bread. The meeting of the farm committee was celled to take action on the dis- posal of a seventh car of potatoes, containing 600 bushels, which has ar- rived unexpectedly. It was explained Ly Mayor Quigley that the commit- | tee ordered six cars of potatoes and | he and H. S. Tallard ordered a c | load themselves. When it seemed the ! the oity might not get its entire al- | Jotment, these two men turned their | car over to the farm committee. Now, ' it appears, the sixth car ordered by the city has arrived, making a total | of seven, including the one Mes: i Quigley and Tallard turned over to ;them. The seventh car is billed at '$1.42 per bushel and the other cars {cost $1.45, $1.62, $1.70 and two at $1.85. | In reference to the committee aver- | aging the entire cost of the potato supply and selling the crop at an average cost, Mr. Landers said he thought the idea an excellent one and the only fair method of fixing a price. After some discussion concerning the seventh car, F. H. Alford, G. A. Quig- loy, G. M. Landers, W. B. Rossbersg and B. F. Gaffney volunteered to buy the car and pay for it themselves. Then they will permit the council to take it off their hands at cost, if the ! members are so disposed. Otherwise they will dispose of it themselves. This farm committee has already exceeded its original appropriation of $16,009 by a small amount. “Those present at terday's meet- ing were Mayor Quigley, F. H. Alford, W. B. Rossberg, T. H. Kehoe, W. H Hall, B. F. Gaffney, G. M Landers and 1. R. Jones. It was voted to instruct Mayor Quigley and Messrs. Rossberg and Jones to prepare a report of the farm committee’s activities for th common council and to report the same at a special meeting of the com- mittee at 5 o'clock Tuesday after- noon. 2 Mayor Quigley reported yesterday that already 520 bushels of potatoes have been sold, 200 bushels of which went to the hospital.

A WORK N TEXAS ARMY GANP Fdward Kiessewetter Writes of Red Triangle at Camp Kelly The following letter has been re- ceived by Sccretary C. H. Barnes of the Y. M. C. A. from Edward Kiese- wetter a former teacher at the Pre- vocational school, telling of the work that is being ed on by the Y. M. C. A. at Camp Kelly, Texas: Knowing that few people realize how much the Y. M. C. A, is doing for the boys in training camps, I take this opportunity of speaking in its be- half. i “Though my experience is limited to the activities at Kelly field I have no reason to doubt it is not the same everywhere. At this field the work has been broadening out and increasing so that from one bullding have grown a large tent and another | building. And even so, they are crowded. However, even under these conditions they are doing a remark- able work here, “These are some of the things which they are doing in the Y. M. C. A. The building furnishes a ren- dezvous for the men and during most of the day it is a vast correspondence room where the men are furnished wriling materials to send letters everywhere. At night entertainments are given for the men. But this is not all—this is but the social side. “Classes have been formed in French, German, wireless, gas en- gines, aeroplanes, ctc., thereby en- | couraging education in all these | branches. Then too, the moral and religio aspect should not be lost sight of. Testaments are furnished all who wish them. Meetings are held on Sundays and during the week which go a great way toward de- creasing immorality and sin. But more than this they have organized Bible classes in almost all squadrons on the field. These classes have a membership of from twelve or eighteen to seventy-five men. These classes are studying “The Manhood of the Master” by Emerson Fosdick. “This institution is even more valu- able in this section than in the North because the people here are not enthusiastic about soldiers except insofar as they have money. They will take every cent a soldier has and then lie awake scheming how they can get some more. The boys have concluded that the Y. M. C is the { only place where they get something j for nothing. 5 “In short the Y. M. (. A. tries to supply everything to make the men feel as though they had a home. T hope that New Britain will be able to do its share toward carrying on the wonderful work. ! “Sincerely, “EDWARD KI SPEAKERS ARE EXEMPT, Four Minute Talkers at Theaters Do not Have to Pay War Taxc: According to a ruling made by Wil- lam McCormick Blair, Four Minute Speakers, these men who come to the various motion picture houses to talk on pertinent subjects of the day are not required to pay the war tax. All others visiting motion picture houses have to pay the tax, whether they are admitted by ticket or pass.
