The registrations already have exceeded those of last year. Everyone who had a2 garden plot last year should increase their efforts thig year. “Plant bigger and better” is New Britain's motto this year. DANCE IS POSTPONED. The dance arranged by young wo- men at the Russell & Erwin Mtg. Co. plant for the benefit of the Red Cros which was announced for April 1 has been potponed until April 26, be. cause most of those promoting the affair are working on contracts held by the factory for gas masks. Gov- ernment officials are requiring large productions daily and it is necessary to work overtime for a few weeks to maintain the output, One of the public works squegee machines operating on Church street this morning sank hub-deep into an opening that had been made since last fall.

Klett and Mayor George A. Quigley addressed a large crowd at the Carbin Screw corpora- tion factory this noon, seeking support for the entire republican ticket at the eloction on Tuesday and commenting upon the attacks of Dr. J. E. Martin Among other things, Senator Klett took Dr. Martin to task for his reported speech of last night in which, the senator sald, he was quoted in a morning pa- per as attempting to arraign “the masses against the classes.” Mayor Quigley defended his administration and said he had no apologies ta offer and answered some of the questions propounded by his democratic op- ponent. Comment on Dr. Martin. Senator Klett, in introducing May- or Quigley, told the vaters that it was up to them to go to the polls, which open at 5:30 a. m. next Tuesday, and support Mayor Quigley and the entire republican ticket. He called attention to the great amount of criticism heaped upon the republican adminis- tration of the past four years, but significantly added that not one of the democratic speakers has seen fit to come out with any constructive criti- cism, bending all their efforts to de- structive criticism, which is very easy to do. The senatar also defended the municipal potato project and said that the mayor and common coun saw fit to enter into the business when the national government sent out an ap- peal for all communities and people to increase the supply of foodstuffs. Not only did the farm produce potatoes, but it also acted as a stimulus for in- dividual gardeners, he said. He also declared that roads cost money, but New Britain has as good streets as any city in the state, and then he averred that, although Dr. J. E. Mar- tin himself is & member of the boas of finance and taxation, he has never heard him raise his voice in protest of any of the improvements made which have cost money and aided in boosting the tax rate. Senator Klett then said he was sur- prised to read that last night Dr. Martin said in a speech that the democrats were for the masses and not for the classes. Particularly at this time, when aly are pulling to- gether for one purpose, the speaker said he thought it was ill-timed for the democrat to attempt to stir up feeling of “the masses against the classes” and, he added, he did not who will adopt such methods to further his own campaign interests is a fit man to be rhayor. The day of the masses against the classes is now past, Sena- tor Klett shouted, and concluded by saying that in this cosmopolitan ci “where all are doing tbeir work to- gether for city, state and government we don’t want a man in office who will attempt to array the masses against the classes’ Quigley Replies to Martin. Following the applause which greeted the senator’s speech Mayor Quigley arose and announced that he was about to reply to some of the questions propounded by his demo- cratic opponents. He said that Dr., Martin has charged him with belng ambitious to go to congress. “I admit it. I want to go to congress and I see no harm in any man belng am- bitlous,” the mayor saild, but, he added that the congressional matter has nothing to do with the present issue and if he is elected mayor he will be the mayor of New Britain and devote his interest and time to its welfare. Later, “if I should be for- tunate enough to go to congress, I should try to do my duty at Washing- ton in the same way.” In reply to Dr. Martin’s question of why the city bought potatoes at $1.65 and sold them to the people at $2.00, Mayor Quigley shouted that not a single bushel of potatoes was sold by the city at $2.00 a bushel. Dr. Martin also asked the mayor if he thought his advice to the people early last winter not to buy coal was “Yes, T think it was wise,” the replied, and then explained that on the particular Friday in question Thomas H. Russell, the state food administrator, had called him on the 'phone and advised him to warn the people against buying coal until the following Monday or Tuesday. On the next day he so advised the people and during the next two days the administration at Washington fixed the price of coal and purchasers we: able to save upwards of fifty cents per ton when they did buy it. “I think I did right in taking the ad- vice of the fuel administration and giving out of their warning,” the speaker averred. Mayor Quigley again referrefl to the potato criticism and then shout- ed: “And when I have defeated my democratic opponent next Tuesday night I am going to have a street pa- rade and at the head of it I am go- ing to have a bilg banner with a pic- ture of a great, big potato on it.” This stimulated both applause and laughter from the crowd. Another statement of the mayor was that one of the democratic speak- ers had said from the platform that the m Americanism is disgust- ing. ‘“Yes,” the mayor said, “I ad- mit any Americanism is disgusting to some people.” He then reiterated that he wants the support of all races and classes, but he wants only the loyal vote and would hate to have the republican party suffer from the same cause that sent the G. O, P, in Hart- ford down to defeat on Tuesday of this week. Afrer again Dbelittling the ‘“de- gtructive criticism’” rather than *“con- str\l«"(.\'c criticlsm” that has 'been i BAstration, the <o S remarks. Rally Tomorrow Noon. Tomorrow noon the mayor and Senator Klett will address a rally at the Stanley Works and on (Sun they will address a 4 o’clock rally in Benz’s hall. On Monday hight ral- lies will be held In Skritulsky’'s hall on Broad street and Lithuanian hall on Park street. E. J.

The plain fact is that bones don’t get into the garbage can; they are sold. According to reports gathered from army posts and sta- tions in the Eouthern department by Colonel Danfel E. McCarthy, depart- ment quartermaster, one can holds the garbage which formerly filled three. Six gallons is the waste from the average army kitchen and goodly portion of this is potato peeling, with mighty little of the potato on the peeling. Mess sergeants at all cantonments have been cautioned about the waste of food and their diligence has, to a great extent, brought about the elimi- nation of much of this waste. The mess sergeants at one Texas camp adopted a new set of “Ten Command- | ments,” all dealing with food conser- | vation. These were printed in red ink on heavy cards and posted in every mess shack. They read: 1.—Don't allow a man to throw v or waste any edible food. 2.—Don't make the first helping heavy. 3.—Warn kitchen police to serve food sparingly. 4.—Don’t help a man to any food he does not ask for. 5.—Don’t give a man more than two slices of bread at a helping. 6.—Make each man eat all that he on his plate. Watch your men while eating | and see that no food is left on the | table. 8.-—Wnatch each man as he empties his mess kit at a garbage can. 9.—Allow no man to take any food out of a mess hall. 10.—Tmpress upon the men the im- portance of food conservation. $12 Per Month Per Man. Tt is estimated that it costs an aver- age of 39 to 41 cents a day to feed The quartermaster department puts the figure at $12 a month for each man. This is for the food unprepared. It is estimated that one-twelfth of a | cord of wood is required for each kitchen range each day, otherwise there is no *“overhead” expense. | On 40 cents a day, officers say, “if the soldiers’ belt line doesn’t swell it is the fault of the mess man.” ' Colonel McCarthy in discussing the soldiers’ food said: “It’s remarkable to observe the change in the recruit, the transformation of the undeveloped boy into the round soldier. The coun- try boy changes expression quickly when he gets on army diet, and the city boy fattens, too. Then after they have let their belts out several notches, they get sassy and complain about the army ‘chow’ ™. | The average soldier’s breathing ap- | paratus is almost perfect. according to Colonel McCarthy, and balanced diet and well prepared food “makes men out of them.” He attributes two causes to the effectiveness of army food: Forst, the soldier has more time for eating, and takes his meal more leisurely than does the civilian; second, the food is cooked on a more scientific standard, and the ration is hotels, with plenty of extra days.
