CHILDREN SHOW PATRIOTISM Kindergarten Tots Doff Hats as Flag Goes By—Rock Nook Youngsters Sing at Mayor Brown’s. Memoria] Day afternoon, near Chel- sea Parade, bystanders overheard the two small sons of John Eyberse, of Laurel Hill, -say to their father, father, “Daddy! You know our teach- er says you must take off your hat when the flag comes by! ‘When the parade approached, these two little kindergarten boys were the only chil- dren in the crowd who doffed their hats and stood in_ reverent attention. Mr. Eyberse, who is a native of Holland, is evidently bringing up a family of loyal Americans. As iz the custom, a number of boys and girls from the Réck Nook Chil- dren’s Home were entertained at the home of Mrs. Edward D. Fuller, on Broadway, to see the parade.

Lands,” also “Your Flag and My Flag.” The Norwich socialist party, Holdsworth, chairman, and George B. Campbell, secretary, have adopted r olutions favoring a referendum vote on the conscription law passed by con- gress recently. Copies of the resolu- tions have been sent to the congress- men and senators from this state. The resolutions passed are to the effect that as congress has passed the se- lective draft law that aims to conseript for military service a large portion of the young men of this nation, and as congressmen at the very outset ex- empted themselves from being con- scripted under this law, and as it is claimed that the war in which our country is now involved is a war for the extension of democracy, and as the nation should practice the democracy it preaches, by giving the people an opportunity to decide whether or not they favor this conscription law, and as the burden of war falls upon the women equally with the men, and as the question of conscription, when it was up for consideration in Austrilia, was, on demand of the people, submit- ted to a referendum vote and over- whelmingly defeated, the vote T the soldiers in the trenches largely deter- mining the results, the local socialist party earnestly petition the congress of the United States to submit this law to a vote of the adilt men and women, citizens of the United States, and let them, in the name of democ- racy, decide whether or not they ap- prove conscription.

The chickken man can render real service by growing poultry and in gen- eral it will be to his own private ad- vantage because it cost money to let plants be idle. Future demand for stock looks promising. Prices of poultry pro- ducts must ultimagely rise to the same level as proces other commodities. Tt's good farm management not to change one's business too often. Business can be mads more profita- ble by culling out the drones and sell- ing, thus reducing the grain bill, and keeping only the best for breeders by marketing surplus males. Selling infertile eggs and by better mdnage- ment, get higher gverage yields. Tt is said that annually 600,000,000 bushels of grain are used in this coun- try for alcoholic beverages. This is enough grain to feeq all the hens in Connecticut 300 years. A= a purely economic proposition would it not be wise for the poultry- men to at least temporarily join the 1wobitionists, and help to divert this iremendous amount of grain for the purpose of feeding poultry and people. The arrangments for the convention here were made by Henry Congdon. FUNERALS Hiram Cook.
