Montgomery of Packer to Mayor Dunn and ex-Mayor O. O. Tanner for dis- tribution. Saturday morning he gave each of them a thousand plants, and tie mayor's were gone within half an hour, aithough only one dozen plants were given to each person. He brought Mayvor Dunn two thou- sand more on the 4 o'clock train Sat- urday, and these were gone in an’hour with many peopie waiting for some. Mr. Montgomery promised the mayor he would bring up a thousand or two more either Monday or Tuesday. The piants are small but hardv and are of a new variety, named Daniel P. Dunn. They are in great demand, many amateur farmers having asked Mr. Montsomery for some plants be- fore he started up here, but It was Wil- limantic's day, and he would not give them any.

JEWETT CITY Lawless Children Pelt Motorist With Stones — Temperance Meeting To- ht—Geo. A, Haskell Picks Green Peas—Borough Residents Enlisted For Vigorous Red Cross Campaign. J. T. Wilbur of Glasgo while driv- ing through Slater avenue in his au- tomobile one evening recently, was pelted with stones on Factory Hill by a crowd of lawless children. The wind shield which was in use on account of the rain was broken. The oceu- pants of the car were showered with broken glass. Mr. Wiibur stopped as quickly as possible but all attempts to_catch any of the children jailed. The absence of the tent catcrpiliar is noticeable. At this time apple trees and wild cherry bushes have been covered in other years. Orchard own- ers report qnly a few scattering mests. Weather conditians have heen unfa- vorable for the hatch. Some think the vigorous campaign waged against them two vears ago by the puplls of the Riverside Grammar sehcel, when thousands of cgg masses were de- stroyed may be partly the reason.

PATRIOTIC RALLY All Efforts Leading Up to Vigerous Week’s Campaign for Red Cross. A patriotic rally in the interest of Red Cross week is to be held in Finn's Opera House, the use of which has Dbeen generously given for Tuesday night. A speaker from the Red Cross of New York will deliver an address. Tt is expected that the schoolchildren vill sing, and there wil be other pa- triotic features on the programme. Much, enthusiasm is manifested in the work, which should appeal to every- one’s’ spirit of humanity. At St Mary's church, Sunday, the ~subject was_ presented ' forcibly in three lan- guagzes. Rev. Albert Donnell made the cubject, Christ and the Red Cross, one of absorbing interest to his hearers at the morning service at the Congrega- tional church. A Red Cross banner and the American flag were the deco- rations and the music was along the same line. In these churches a col- lection was announced to be received next Sunday for the work. In both the Baptist and Methodist churches the pastors brought the subject to the attention of thelr congregations. In the letter from the American Red Cross War Finance committee is the following clause asking pastors that on Sunday, June 17 (Bunker Hill day) won’t you help us by making this work the leading topic of vour principal sermon. If the American pulpit sends up a united voice on that day aen im- petus will be given for Red Cross work of untold value. Won’t you then make the following Sunday, June 24, at the end of Red Cross week a spe- clal_collection day, for the $100,000,000 fund and thus round out. in the church, the collections of the week.
