Plans for the send-off for the draft- ed men who are to leave September 20 were changed at a meeting of the committee in charge. It seelms that all of the boys that were talked with were against a big affair in the ar- mory and a parade in the evening and in addition, it was found that at_the armory. The board of trade offered _their rooms for the affair and the commit- tee accepted their offer. The banquet will commence at 7 o'clock and only the drafted men and several invited guests among whom will-be representatives of the clei and city officials will sit down to the table. The committee will help the ludies serve and will also do the heavy work in the kitchens. The in- vited guests will each say a few words. During the evening every man will be presented with a fountain pen, something which will induce the men to write home, which is the best thing they could do, Thursday morning there will no. parade, as many of the men do mot: want any such thing. Instead they will come down as they please and probably all of Willimantic will be down to the depot to see them off. Captain Fenton has tried to have the Plainfield entraining done away with, going directly from this city, sut it is impossible. Ernest Chesbro who is the chair- man of the finance committee, reports that everybody seen thus far is very willing to zive, and already $89 has been given. SISTER IGNATIUS MOURNED BY LARGE CONGREGATION Loving Tribute to Life of Charity and Service—Nun Who Was for Ten Years at Hos The funeral of Sister Ignatius, who died early Friday, was held Monday morning from the chapel of St. Jo- seph's convent at 8.45. A solemn re- quiem high mass was celebrated in St. Joseph’s church at 9 o'clock. The body of Sister Ignatius was accom- panied from the chapel to.the church by the Reverend Mothers of the con- vents of St. Joseph and St. Mary, Willimantic, Baltic /and_Taftviile, fol- lowed by the Sisters from the four communities, also by the graduates and undergraduates of St. Joseph's Lospital, The celebrant of the mass was Rev. T. F. Bannbn: deacon, Rev. John A. Dooley, St. Mary’s church, South Cov- entry, and sub deacon, Rev. J. A. Sul- livan. The master of ceremonies was J. V. E. Belanger of Baltic. Seat- in the sanctuary was Rev. U. O. llerose of Taftville. As the body vas brought into the church Mrs. Ar- chibald Turner plaved March Funebre ard at the offertory Mrs. Mathieu and rus sang De Profundis. The mass sung by Mrs. Mathieu, Mrs. Tur- , Harry3 ‘Lester, John Keirans, Thomas Ashton and William Morliar- As the body was borne from the church Mrs, Turner sang Compassion. At the close of the services Rev. Fa- Bannon pronounced the eulogy, “We are gathered here today to the last tribute of love and re- to one who was admired and steemed by all. Twenty 0dd vears ago Sister Ig-. atius feir that she was called to be e spouse of the Most High, to follow Him more closely. Her life was spent in the service of the sick and the poor, on the mission and abroad. It is ncedless for- me -to_recount to you all she has done for St. Joseph's hbs- pital during the ten lonz years she passed here. Unassuming, quietly, she went about her work, absorbed cnly in Jesus, in the Blessed.Sacra- ment, and_her duty to the sick and afflicied. No matter how overcrowded the hospital was, she never retired be- fore the last patient had been attend- o. I, myself, can testify that there are ‘many in heaven today who are there through the kindly and rellg- ious words she whispered into their ears. Our sympathy goes out to the aged couple across wihe ocean who are mourning for the daughter they will never see again. “She will not be forgotten by those who have benefited by her kindly ministrations, and surely not by her Sisters In _reiigion.” The church was crowded at the ser- vices. The bearers were James Hag- William _J. Sweenéy, Jeremiah n and William Smith. Following the mass the body was borne to St. Joseph's cemetery where committal services were conducted by Rev. John A. Dooley of South Coventry assisted by Rev. Fathers Bannon and Sullivan Children Cry €2 Church St., Willimantic, Ct. Lady Assistant | FOR FLETCHER'S CASTORIA more varied.

The second annual exhibition by the children's garden clubs of the town of Plainfield was held in_the Town hall, Central Village, Saturday, undef the direction of the Garden Supervisor, Warren H. Slee and of the Children’s Garden Club Committee, appointed hy the town last May. The exhibition was an unqualified success. There were over seven hundred dif- ferent entries in the garden and can- ing club divisions beside a remarkable exhibit of needlework from the sew- ing <lubs in the Moosup school. Mr. Ellis, County Agent for Wind- am County, assisted by Cecil L. But- lér, Principal of Plainfield school, judged the vegetable exhibit, and Mrs. H. Beecher Brown and Mrs. Ernest L. Trench judged the exhibit of canned goods. .+ It 1s certainly surprising what chil- dren uhder good supervision can do toward conserving agricultural re- sources. The potatoes, beans, corn and ather garden products exhibited were worthy of any agricultural fair in the state. In profusion, variety and ex- cellence they were uneurpassed by any- thing seen exhibited in recent years. The children have had some excellent gardens this year in various parts of the town and have been well looked ot 8t.Jose) after and trained by the garden su- pervisor, Mr. Slee. < It is remarkable what a ten-year-old child can do in the way of canning Wwhen competently directed. The can- ning exhibit consisted of nearly every variety. of fruit and vegetable grown this season and-all were put up with a skill and " care which insure good keeping qualities. The work of the children will add materially- to the resources of many homes in town this year. It ls glanned to take a part of the exhibit to Brooklyn fair. Farewell Surprise Party.
