URGED TO SIGN Every Housewife in County Will be Asked to Cooperate in Food Conservation Movement—Object is to Enable Uncle Same te Share Supply With Nations in Need. Xew London county may be a little behind hand in time M the appeal to the housewives to sign the Hoover pledge. This lateness will, however, be. fully compensated by the thorough- ness of the canvass that is to be made and the efficiency with which the work wil be done. In this county the canvass for the pledge is to be conducted under the auspices of the Home Economics com- mittee of the Farm Bureau, of which Miss Katharine Ludington of Lyme is chairman. The committee is asking the cooperation of the various wom- en’s organizations of the county. The actual canvass will be carried out in each town by local bands of canvassers—girls _or women-—recruit- ed by the local food committees. The pledge cards have been arawn up at Washington; they form part of the food conservation campaign which has been entered upon by Mr. Hoover, the food controller. The object of this campalgn is not so much to save money as to economize in food which can be made available for our own ar- mies and for our allies. There is aiready. as is well known, a food shortage, and the prospects for next winter for the armies in the fleld and for the countries of Europe are quite serious. The saving that Mr. Hoover is asking of the housewives is not a selfish saving. It is a saving to enable this country to share its food supply with nations that would otherwise have to go short. Exactly what foods will be most useful to our allies will be told by Mr. Hoover in bulletins that will be sent to every housewife sizning the pledge. The pledge is printed on a card which will be presented by the can- vassers to each housewife. It read: To the Food Administrator, Washin ton, D. C. I am glad to join you in the ser- vice of food conservation for our na- tion and I hereby accept membership in the United States Food Administra. tion, pledging myself to carry out the ‘directions and advice of the food administrator in the conduct of my household, insofar as my circum- stances permit.” (Name and address follow). Then follow a few simple questions to be answered by the signer. They are: “Number in household? Do you emplov a cook? Occupation of bread- winner? Will vou taKe part in au- thorled neighborhood movements for food conservation?” There are no dues or_fees to he paid. The pltdge cards will be eollected by the Home Economics _Committee and sent to Washington. Each person who has signed a card will receive a HOOVER PLEDGE bulletin of instructions and a_house- hold tag to be hunz in the window. Any woman who desires may also, on the yment of ten cents, receive fsom Washington the shield insignia of the food administration, thus showing that she is enrolled in the Hoover food con- servation army. Only one signature is asked from each household. The person signing should be the. person actually respon- sible for the administration of the food. Signatures are wanted from all women, whatever their income. The wealthier the woman, the more the likelihood of waste in her Kkitchen, and therefore the greater the need of her pledge. But even in the most careful- ly conducted and most economical households there are possibilities of substitution. A perishable food that is available here may be substituted for a food that will keep weil and that will therefore be available in France. It s war economy that is asked for, the most important part women can play in_winning the war. A very natural objection that was brought at first by housewives to the Injunctions of the government con- cerning the saving of food was that they were not the great wasters. They pointed to the waste of grain in dis- tilling and to the extravagant use of food in hotel and asked why they should be tol 0 save in their Kitch- ens when this collossal waste was go- Ing on unchecked. This argument can no I r be urged. All distilling is to be ught under careful govern- ment supervision and ow® of Mr. Hoo. ver’s first efforts was to get the co- operation of hotels and restaurants in checking the waste. In asking the cooperation of the housewives Mr. oovef is not looking at the small sav- ing that may be made i\ one kitchen, but at the enormous gain that would result if even one crust of bread were saved in each household in America. One crust of bread saved each day by the housewives of America would mean an ample wheat supply to feed all the Belgian and French children who are now on the verge of starva- tion. E All kinds of advice in regard to sav: ing food has been offered by the news- papers and magaines, until the women have begun to feel thoroughly puzzled and discouraged. Everv housewife who signs the oover pledge will re- ceive from time to time bulletins from ‘Washington which will give her au- thoritative information as to what the government desires of her. Every woman will thus be able to act under the direct supervision of our national Zovernment and to feel herself part of the land forces of the United States.

Nearly 500 People Have Received Training in Canning at Storrs. Food conservation in the state of Connecticut is receiving wide atten- tion. Up to date 480 people have each received a week’s training in canning at. Connecticut Agricultural college. These people have been prepared there to lead in demonstration work in their ‘home communities. The women county agents of the state are being kept busy continually, teaching the most up-to-date methods of food conservation, while many or- ganizations of the state are giving free lessons to all comers. In addition to this work, the com- mittee of food supply of the state councfl of defense has published and distributed over 100,000 buletins on canning, and the Connecticut Agri- cultural college has published and dis- tributed 75,000 such bulletins.

Hens on Summer Vacations Will Get the Axe. Judgment day s at hand for the hens of the state, and there will be distinct separation of ,the “sheep from the goats” in the poultry yard if the pres- ont plans of the committee of food Supply of the Connecticut state council defense and the Comnecticut Agricul- tural college do not miscarry. This is the time of year when some hens begin to go on their summer vacations, while others stay on the job and continue to help fiil the esg basket. If poultry is to be kept at a profit this year it is essential that hens which are receiv- ing high priced grain should make continual returns in the way of egEs. ond successful poultrymen will elim- inate every hen which Is a slacker. Seyeral ‘methods are outlined in a builetin which is being put out by the committee of food supply of the state council of defense, and these can be used to determine which of the hens in the poultry yard are worth keeping and which ones should be executed for neglect of duty. For instance, early molters are usu- zlly non-layers and should do. Again, the color of the beak, ear iobes, vent and shanks is affected by egg produc- tion and a person trained in such work can easily detect the layers by their color—or rather by their lack of color —for the heavy lavers are usually pale, while the non-producers are yeliow in the beak, ear lobes, shank and vent. A further test for a laying hen is whether or not her pelvic bones are close together. A width of two fingers between these bones usually indicates a laying hen. In order to assist the people of the state in culling thelr flocks, the poui- try department of the Connecticut Ag- ricultural college is prepared to give demonstrations at any time. Sufficient assistance has been secured to make possible 300 demonstrations if such a number is called for. SUPPLYING FARMERS WITH MUCH NEEDED HELP., Labor Specialist Pease is Making Weekly Trips to New York. R. W. Pease, farm labor specialist for the United States department of agriculture, now employed by the com- mittee of food supply of the state coun- cil of defense, arrived in Hartford Sat- urday night with ten men secured through the New York Saivation Army employment bureau. Four of these men go to Windham county, three to Middlesex county, two to Litchfield county and one.to Tolland county. Mr. Pease is undertaking to secure men for every farmer that desires help and who is willing to pay the man's fare from New York. He is making weekly trips to New York, where he has a desk at the Salvation Army headquarters and a number of other free employment bureaus. Mr. Pease reports an abundance of husky men i/ho were wiliing to take up work on the farms but who had no farm experience. These men may be had for $20 to $25 a month and board. Difficulty is being experienced in se- curing competent, experienced farm help, especially men who can milk. However, Mr. Pease has only two un- filled positions at the present time.

Afplications are coming into the Community Canning Club for having work done. As it is getting so near the end of the season for fresh peas Wednesday, Thursday and Friday of this week Wwill be devoted to canning peas. Housewives bringing them should be sure that the vegetables are treshly picked and in good condition for canning. If too old it takes long- er to cook them and if not fully filled out there are many small ones that must be kept by themselves. Also, if they are picked when too wet, they are full of water which make them shrink more in the canning. Ordinar- ily one quart of peas weizhs 12 ounces and it takes about three quarts of unshelled peas to fill a pint jar, The housekeepers may bring their ~peas and jars at 9 o'clock, when the rooms open—closing at 4 p. m. If they wish to stay and assist in the work they may do so, or they may leave it whol- Iy to the supervisor. The work is taken out of their own kitchen in this way and fuel is furnished, instruc- tion in each step of the canning pro- cess is given them, and the work com- pleted under expert supervision—all at_nominal cost. Housekeepers bringing or sending a vegetable to be canned will be regis- tered and their rezister number will Le put upon each jar filled with their vegetable. This is a brass tag which can be used in the cooker and fully Insures the housewife i getting her own jar and_ vegetable. The jars brought should all be of the glass top kind. The others will not be used here, as they are not so reliable. The price charged for canning must, of course, vary with the different kind of fruit or vegetable. Some require more labor, fuel and sugar, ete. To- matoes, caulifiowers, green: the least. Carrots, parsn etc. wili cost slightly more, peas, string beens, corn. etc., most expensive of all. pense of doing this will be the only charge made. This is being worked out_and will be given later. Fruit will ba ziven attention in due time and this, too, must be strictly fresh and in good condition. The su- pervisor will make the kind of syrup each person asks for—a thin, medium thin, medium thick, or a_thick syrup- and the price per jar must vary with the amount of sugar used. There will be one day each week for things requiring yrups. Y. M. C. A. MEETING are the The actual ex- Rev. W. J. Crawford Delivers Stirring Message to Open Air Gathering. At the open air gathering held Sun- afternoon at Buckingham Memor- under the auspices of the Y, M. C, ing ‘message was delivered Willlam Crawford, pastor Norwich Town Methodist His topic was Jesus at the Rev. 3: 20. There is a_stranger on the door step, said Rev. Mr. Crawford. His hand is on the door step, said Rev. Mr. Craw- ford. His hand is on the latch. His locks are et with the dews of the night. He has come from a far coun- try, from a beautiful kingdom that lies a great way off. He is travel- worn and weary bui his garments smell of aloes, myrrh and cassia out of ivory palaces. There are scars on his brow, scars on his hands; but above the scars there is a crown and in his hands there are blessings. He is the son of a King: Hlmself a King, and _yet he is at the door with his hand o nthe latch. He comes on a kingly embassage. He is waiting patiently. Waiting and_knocking t door might be opened to Him. does He say? Behold, I stand at the door and knock. We can hear Him if our ears be not deaf in the shadow of our be- reavements, in the songs of our pros- perity. There is a doorbell in every chapter of His holy word and every time the visitor touches the button there is heard some alarm, some warning, an invitation, a word of hope. The sinner’s heart is ont only closed —it is sealed and bolted. Across the sinner’s soul is drawn the bar of ig- norance and alongside it is the bar of unbelief and the worm-eaten bar of prejudice. The visitor will be a_willing guest or none. He knocks and we open. He waits our welcome and if He should not enter, who is to blame? The one who stands waiting or the one who will not open? Only the space of a door between us and Christ. He on the outside: we on the Inside. May God help us to open our hearts and keep them open.

Far more important to America is the role which Count Brockdorff- Rantzau played with respect to Ger- man-American relations during _the war, Count von Bernstorff, the Ger- man ambassador at Washington, not being aitogether satisfied with the conduct of relations through the pre- scribed channels, owing to the vigor- ous attitude of James W. Gerard, the American ambassador at Berlin, the German government endeavored to change of com- open an aiternative munications through Count Brock- dorff-Rantzau, and used the minister to transmit to Washington through the American minister at Copernhagen, Dr, Maurice Egan, communications designed to take the edge from tense situations which now and then arose, and build up working agreements with the United States. Count Brockdorff-Rantzau had long belleved such agreements possible and had labored in this direction. Finally he became convinced that the adoption of unrestricted submarine Avarfare nd a breach with the United States were inevitable. After the failure of the German peaceé proposals he ac- cepted the pending rupture as a fact The imperial German chancellor, Dr von Bethmann-Hollweg, and Dr. Zim- mermann, after the complete rupture, endeavored to treat the American dec- laration of a state of war as non-ex- istent, or at least, to act as if the dec- laration that a state of war existed was not binding upon Germany. But Count _Brockdorff-Rantzau cherished no_such illusions. The new foreign secretary is a man of firm, strong hand, with consider- able energy for execution. He is a cousin of Count von Bernstorff. Mr. Sanford Evans, chairman of the Georgian Bay Canal Commission, has been appointed Food Controller of Canada.
