The rally began tial music_by solidated Fife and Drum composed of ihree fifes. seven drums and two bass drubs, six men being members of the fa- st Hampton Calf-skin Pound- nd the rest from Lyman Maine's m Corps. They certainly did make Rai'road street vibrate with the spir- ted music.

Dunn introduced the tpeaker, John H. Buck of Hartford. Mr. Buck said that he wished to reach the ears of all the penple pres- ent and that he aiso wished to reach the hearts of all of them.

The director of Amer- ica’s foreign policy, with ‘almost su- perhuman patience, said, time after time, that the murder of non-combat- ants must stop, and, although the Germans promised, the murder kept on. The war has made many remarkable changes in America, there is no dis- tinction between the capitalists and the laborers, and between people of different political parties. Wilson is a fair egample, no longer a democrat, nor a ‘republican, but an American. Many of the men who enlisted in France were much healthier when they returned from the front than when they left, the speaker said, as they are guarded against contaminated wa- ter and are vaccinated for smallpox and typhoid fever. Rev. Robert Moore Speaks. Rev. Robert Jloore of this city, the next speaker, told of the experience of his father who enligted at the age of 17, and received a‘\ wound which caused him to limp all the days of his life, “but that limp showed a rank higher than any peerage!” Williman- tic's response o the Liberty loan and the Red Cross was much better than was expected, but it remains to be seen how Willimantic responds to the call for recruits, Chaplain of First Co, Heard. Rev. Berg Burk of New York, re- cently of Hartford, who is taking his vacation in this vicinity, was in Wi limantic to make some purchases when he was asked to make a speech. He was chaplain of the First Con- necticut at the Mexican -border and told of the degree of comradeship ex- isting between the men. He said that he intended to make his speech con- firm to the rules of his father, nome- ly: to stand manfully, speak boldly and to sit quick! Mr. Berg then told how one feels when he is about to be 1 under fire, “such as when the troops train on which they were zoing to the Mexican border was stopped near the border in order to pass around the ball cartridges for defence. He made a sirong plea that red-blooded men and those with any “guts” step forward |and enlist.

At the morning service at the Con- gregational church, Rev. Albert Don- nell, pastor, following resolutions per- taining to Food Conservation Sunday, the congregation pledged themselves to make all sacrifices necessary to bring this war to a conclusion that shall make “the world' safe for democ- racy,” believing that the obligation to make people. It was also resolved that as the manufacture of beers and distilled liquors comes under the head of the production of luxuries rather than ne- cessities, and as this manufacture is destructive of grain sufficient to feed our armies and those of our allies, it is inconsistent for our government to continue the permission of this manu- facture during the war, while, at the same time. it calls the people to ac- custom themselves to an unusuai diet. In this connection we also state that we believe in the prohibition, during the war, of the sale of beers and dis- tilled liquors, because this prohibition will release for other occupations those now engaged in both their manufacture and sale, and because the stopping of the sale of these liquors will increase the labor efficiency of those who other- wise wili use them. That the plea of the imperative need of the revenue from these sources is not valid is shown by the government's ability to raise funds for necessary uses in the oversubscription of the Lib- erty loan, and by the claim-that the inning of the war is dependent on the bread euppiy. The pastor was instructed to for- ward a copy of these resolutions to ch persons as he may consider ad- able. Fourth to Be a Serious Holiday.

You simply apply a few drops of this free- zone upon a tender, ach- ing corn or a hardened callus. Instantly the sore- ness disappears a n d shortly you will find the corn or callus so loose and shriveled that you lift it off with the fingers. Not a bit of pain or sore- ness is felt when applying freezone or afterwards. even irritate the skin or It doesn’t flesh. For a few cents one can now get rid of every hard corn, soft corn, or corn between the toes, as well as painful calluses on bottom of feet. Everyone who tries freezone becomes an enthusiast because it really doesn't hurt or pain one particle. Genuine freezone has a yellow label.
