STATE WIDE DRIVE TO ENLIST BOYS Calls for Labor Are’ Coming Thick and Fast. A state wide drive to enlist 500 more boys in the ranks of the Con- necticut Junior Aricultural Volun- teers is being launched by Chief En- rolling Officer Arthur Howe from his office in the headquarters of the com- mittee of food supply of the Connee- ticut State Council of Defence. “We must have more boys” said Mr. Hewe. “Calls for labor are coming in thick and fast and as yet we haven't the boys to meet the demand.” In order to. egroll, if possible, a suf- ficent number of 'boys before the close of school, *Mr. Howe s sendng a letter to the principals of all high schools and secondary schools, and to all_supervising agents in Connecticut, urging them to enroll every boy cap- able of doing productive work during the summer. These boys may be placed with farmers in their home communities who are in need of labor, or they may volunteer for places in the camps which are being establish- ed iin various parts of the state to be conducted under the personal super- vision of competent directors. If the demand from certain communities continues it may become nec\isary for the enrolling officer to meet it by transferring boys from other parts of the state and it is especially desired to have enrolled boys who will be will- ing to work outside of their home com- munity. Mr. Howe is turning over to each school ‘principal the work of complet- ing the enroliment of the pupils in his particular.school. The principal has been asked to appoint someone who will be responsible for completing the enroliment, in case he 1s unable to attend to it personally. Torrington—A Joint encampment of the local troops of Boy Socouts is be- ing planned for July, CALLS UPON EVERY MEMBER TO SUBSCRIBE. Chamber of Comimerce Urges Them to Take Liberty Bonds. In a letter mailed Thursday to every member on its roll, the Chamber of Commerce calls upon them to eub- scribe to the liberty loan, America’s first contribution toward her part in the great war. The letter reads as follows: As members of the Chamber of Com- merce we owe a certain civic duty to jour country. We are banded together @s an organization for that purpose. ‘What greater duty as members of the Chamber of Commerce can we perform to the honor and glory of our conutry Yah.ln to purchase a liberty bond to- day? The liberty loan is made by the United States government to purchase arms and equipment for American sol- diers and sallors, food and suppiies for the American army and navy. The money is to be spent in America for those Americans who are fighting on our side on the various war fronts of ‘Europe. It's America's first contribu- tion toward doing her part in the great ‘war we are engaged in. Our president desires me to state these few facts to our full member- #hip and to urge the great need of Tende to our organizationm, to the town of Norwich, to the state of Con- mecticut and to the federal government such instant service as we believe ev- ery member should and ought to ren- der, not as a patriotic duty, but as a great privilege for the manifold bless- ings we are and have long been per- mitted to enjoy under a republican form of government. ‘We believe fully 75 per cent. of our full membership has already sub- scribed for such bonds. We .want it said of the Norwich chamber that ev- ery member stepped forward and per- formed his duty when the call came. LIBERTY LOAN MASS MEETING NEXT WEEK. Harvard and Y for the Speakers.

Murphy of the local post office has recelved a com- unication from the postmaster gen- | 1 relative to the encouragement of the use of higher denomination of stampe. Tho communicoticn resds es rollows: measure of economy _post- masters and post office employes are directed to encourage the public to use stamps of the highest denomina- tions suited to the amount of postage required on all mafl. For example, & 2 cent stamp instead of two 1 cent stamps should be affixed to letters needing two cents postage; and a 10 cent stamp instead of five 2 _cent stamps. should be attached to parcels requiring ten cents postage. Co-op- eration between post office employes and the public in the sale and use of stamps of the higher denominations Wil effect a large saving to the gov- ernment in the cost of _producing, transporting, and cancelling them, and will benefit the public in minimizing the number of stamps handled and af- fixed to mail. This benefit wiil be especially important to business con- cerns mailing large quantitics of let- ters and parcels, and postmasters are directed to bring the suggestion par- ticularly to their notice COMPLETES INSPECTION As a OF LETTR BOXES Nearly All Found to Be in First Cl Condition. g Fostmaster Murphy hns completed the inspection of the letter boxes in the city, J1C in all, and with the ex- ception of a very few all were found to be in first class condition.

Sn the inspection trip it was found that plople persist in _ scratching matches on the time cards and the post ofice department have discourag- ed the placing of cards on the box- es for this reason. The boxes in the business section and through Thames square, Main, Water streets, Lower Broadway, etc., are visited ev- ery hour between 6 a. m. and 8 p. m. Collections at the boxes in the resi- dential sections are made by the reg- ular carriers when the regular de- liveries are made.

This will amount to about $15,000. The local association also voted to purchase Liberty bonds with the fund in the savings bank. RED CROSS CAMPAIGN. Norwich Chapter to Cooperate Nationwide Movement. in a The Norwich Red Cross chapter is making plans for local cooperation in the Red Cross week campaign from June 18 to June 25. This campaisn is to be held at the request of Pres- ident Wilson. Twenty-four thousand dollars must be secured every minute during “Red Cross Week”, June 18-25, if the $100, 000,000 sought by the Red Cross Fi ance Committee is to be raised. This is the task confronting campaign managers, team captains and - every worker in the nationlwide drive for the Red Cross now in progress. The responsibility for its success rests equally upon every city and every single individual. No money will be accepted for the War Relief Fund before June 18th. Many large subscription are already in prospect. While large gifts from corporations and individuals help, the real basis for the success of the War Relief Fund, must be in a wide pop- ular response. It must be raised, not by large contributions from a few, but by small contributions from hundreds of thousands who show .through their gifts, sympathy and understanding With those suffering from wars hard- Plans perfected by the War Finance Committee call for the apportionment of the $100,000,000 among the states each of which will be expected to produce the quota it represents. Each state, in turn, will look to its cities to raise specified sums. turn, each city will depend upon its campaign managers and team captans to raise its designated amount. Definite personal responsibility, ex- pressed in a nation-wide organiza- tion of business men and women, will be the key-note of this campaten. Ev- ery man taking part in it, from . J,” Plerpont Morgan and Jacob H. Schiff in New York, to the local so- licitors in smaller towns throughout the country, will bear a definite per- sonal share of the task. Throughout “Red Cross Week” a large part of the business organization of the coun- try wil be devoted, as part of “its bit", to establishing the Red Cross on a war basie. Many prominent men will be leaders in the campaign. Bridge Tenders. The state civil service commission will ho'd tests at Room 72, stat ca; tol, Haford, at 1.30 o'clock Wednes- day.

Elwell in charge of the Liberty loan work in Norwich ad- dressed a gathering at the Ponemah Mills in cennection with the loan. He explained the loan as a good safe in- vestment and held it to be the duty of every patriotic_citizen to take as much of the loan as he was able. Al- though the bonds are not payable for thirty years they can_ be turned into cash at any time as there is always a ready market for government bonds. In taking out a bond it is not neces- sary that a person pay the fifty or one hundred dollars on the spot but they can pay it in weekly installments Bible School Concert. Sunday morning at the Taftville Congregational church in place of the regular morning service there will be a concert by the Bible school. ~The change has been made as part of the celebration of Children's Sunday.

Mr. Scoville had just returned from Washington, where he and George M. Landers, chairman of the committee, had been in consultation with the na- tional authorities in regard to the food problem. ‘While at Washington Mr. Scoville acted upon a special committee ap- pointed by the Chamber of Commerce of the United. States of America to consider the need of a food adminis- tration for the United States. The committee reported that, due to the great need of the allles and the present food shortage in the United States, definite measures should be taken at once to meet the situation. Its members recommended the passage of the Lever bill now before congress, giving the president power during the war to take any action he deems necessary in handling the food situa- tion. The food supply committee of the Connecticut state council of defense has written to all members of the Con- necticut delegation in congress asking that there be incorporated in the emergency agricultural appropriation bill now under consideration a pro- vision which will make possible the appointment of a home economics leader for each county of the state. Ceonditions in the state are outlined in the jetter as follows. “In the_ agricultural appropriation bill now befors congress there is an item providing for a woman county agent in every county as a part of the extension service. ““As Connecticut is a consuming and not a producing state, our experience has shown that the saving of food will be of the utmost importance to our people. This saving can best be ef- fected in our judgment by the em- ployment of women competent to in struct the housewives in home eco- nomics. The expense of such women will be met by subscription (and has already been guaranteed in. the eight counties of Connecticut), but umless the federal government appropriates the ealaries their services cannot be available in time to meet the present crisis. We are confident that the best interests of Connecticut will be served by including these items in the emer- gency agricultural appropriation bill. A full outfit of equipment for com- munity canning work is now set up at the Connecticut Agricultural college and will be in operation June 7 and 8. George H. Farrell of the United States department of agriculture wiil be in charge during those days and com- plete information may be obtained by those visiting the college at that time. A consignment of 200 bushels of buckwheat seed was received Tuesday by the committee of food supply of the Connerticut council of defense. This seed will be sold at cost to the farmers of the state where they are unable to obtain satisfactory supplies locally. POSTS OF HONOR WILL BE VACATED.
