In the 3,000 and over class the only. entries were two pairs owned by Joseph L Girard, of Canonchet.” -They ‘gave an' éxhibit haul of the drag laden with rocks, and then made way for the 2,700 class. In this -class ‘entries were ~made (two pairs)- by Mr. Girard, Chester S. Main, and Son of North Stonington, Allen A. Coats, of North 'Stonington, Gardiner Arzamarki of Ashaway and Chester Pierce of Ledyard, Centre. ~ This con- test was well on the way, with the Girard horses well in the lead, when protest was made that the horses were over the weight. As a result all the horses were driven a mile away to be weighed, and the contest delayed. In the class of 2700 and under en- tries were made by Enos M. Gray, of Ledvard, and by Mr. Girard. L The Results. The results of the contest were: In the 3,000 pounds class, first and second to Joseph 1. Girard. In the 00 and over class Gardner ‘Aramanski took first prize, George B.

COPPER PRICES FIXED AT 23 1-2 CENTS A POUND About Three Centd Under the Pre- vailing Marlet Price. ‘Washington, Sept. 20. — Copper prices were fixed today at 23 1-2 cents a pound, about three cents below the prevailing market, by agreement be- tween the gevernment and leading copper producers, -effective for ‘four months. Sales to the government, the public and the allies will be at this price, f. o. b, New York, and pro- ducers agreed not to reduce wages now ps\_lg in the industry. They also pledged themselves to maintain max- imum production and to prevent cop- per from falling into the hands of the speculators. Although the price is fixed under voluntary agreement between produc. ers and the governnfent's war indus- tries board, with the president's ap- proval, it was announced officially that under the executive's war power, “the proper departments of the government will be asked to take over the mines and plants of any producers who fail to conform to the arrangement and price.” \ Waterbury—The schoolhouse com- mittee of the board of eddcation re- ported as follows at Monday’s meet- ing of the board: “The committee con siders that it will be necessary. to charge each class $60 for a series of 12 swimming lessons at the Clark School this year, as that amount will only just clear the expense of janitor, teacher, etc.” Joseph R.

GORE. A-survey of more than 200 papers of Oklahoma, large daflies and small country weeklies, disclosed that there is a wide-spread movemefit in the state against” Thomas Pryor Gore, the blind_senator from Oklahoma, now serving his second term. Of 225 Oklahoma papers examined, the Daily Oklahoman found eleven were openly critising the senator, 108 either carried no editorials or avoided discussions of the subject, and only. five made any effort to explain his course. None of them was supporting him in his attitude of opposition to some of the administration’s measures for carrying on the war. Many of Mr. Gore’s staunchest sup- porters in the political and newspaper arena have joined the ranks of his critics. the survey discloses. The charge i3 made in one paper that the sena- tor's attitude toward the selective draft which he opposed, was directly re- |’ sponsible for the uprising among ten- ant farmers and more or less ignorant working classes early in August. Many of his critics ask him to give up his rseat in the senate. WHITE LEGHORNS TO REACH 2,000 MARK Take the Honors Secured by the Wy- andottes in Last Year’s Contest at Storrs. © . Last year White Wyanddttes were the first breed to reach a pen produc- tion of 2,000 eggs in the laving con- test at Storrs. This year it is White Leghorns that are ahead. A. P. Rob- inson’s pen from Calverton, N. Y passed this mark last week and now have a score of 2,005 eggs. The total production of all hens in the contest to date is 149,782 or 400 egss less than last year. At the rate the birds are now laying it seerps practically certain that this years average will at least equal the average made last year. The best weekly production was made by pen of White Wyandottes be- lorging to Grant Buler & Son of Trooper, Pa., 4vith a total of 52 eggs. Another pen of Wyandottes belonging to Jay H. Ernisse, Webster, N. Y., tied for second place with a pen of Leg- horns belonging to J. Collinson of Barnacre, Garstang, England, with a production of 45 eggs. Two pens of Leghorns belonging to F. M. Peasley, Cheshire, Conn., and Tom Barron, Cat- forth, England, tied for third place with a production of 44 eggs. The to- tal production for the week amounted to 3,207 or a drop of 140 eggs from last week’s figure, but 250 eggs more than for the corresponding week last year. _ The best pens are listed below by breeds. If however, we consider the first ten places in the-contest as a whole, it is found that Leghorns hold first, third "and fourth places, with Barred Rocks in second, sixth and ninth places, Rhode Island Reds filling fifth and tenth places. Buff Wyandottes seventh, and White Wyandottes eighth. These best 10 pens, meaning 100 hens, have averaged to lay 179 eggs each, as compayed with 114 eggs each for the 100 hens in the 10 poorest pens, and 150 for the average of the entire contest.

The mill em- ployes gathered at the railway st tion, and mingled with the relatives and’ other friends of the soon-to-be soldiers, and gave the boys a hearty send;off. Of course, the sense of hu- man feeling prevailed, and eyes were filled to -overflowing when the final handshakes and good-bye kisses were exchanged. It was a pathetic, vet a patriotic, parting, and open expres- sion was made by some.of the boys, that they were ready and willing to serve their whole country, and that included thelr dear old home village of Pawcatuck, in the state of Con- necticut. The drafted boys left on the regu- lar 8.09 train for New Fondon where they will mobilize with the quotas from other places the Shoestring district first, and then with the con- tingent from the New London apd Groton district.

PEOPLE URGED TO OBSERVE WHEATLESS DAYS Wednesday and Thursday Named by, Committee of Food Supply. The. people of the state of Connec- ticut are asked to observe Wednes- day and Thursday as days upon which no white bread shall be eaten. This course was decided upon at a meeting of the Federal Food administrators of the New England states. The plan is brought to the attention of the peo- ple_qf Connecticut through a letter sent Thufsday from the headquarters of the Committee of Food Supply of the State Council of Defense by Rob- ert Scoville, United States Food com- missioner. ~ The letter ‘is as follows: “At a meeting of the Federal Food administrators of the several New England states, it was decided o recommend to their respective states the adoption of the plan to observe Wednesdays and Thursdays as . days in which no white bread should be used. It is hoped that this pfactice will be observed by householders, ho- tels, restaurants, lunch rooms, and clubs as a voluntary offering toward the solution of the food problem. “It is manifest that if we are to send to our allfes in HBurope® the FITTING MEN FOR MARKETING POSITIONS Storrs College Institutes Courses to Equip Men .as Experts. In order to properly equip men to fill the numerous positions in market- ing which are now opening. up throughout Connecticut and other states the Connecticut Agricultural college kas instituted a number of courses which will tend to fit a man as an expert capable of handling mar- amount of wheat which they absolute- ly require, it will be necessary for us to save by such mecasures as this.

The United States Department of Markets is finding much difficulty in filling its vacancies due to the rapid expansion of the service and the lack of trained men throughout the coun- try. A decided demand for such men is apparent, Professor Guy C. Smith who has had much practical experience in organ- izing markets throughout the state and who is a recognized authority on public markets will have charge of the work at: Storrs. The college has secured H. B. Price to assist Prof. Smith. Mr. Price is a graduate of Wisconsin Agricultural college, and has secured his Masters Degree from the University of Michigay. In addi- tion he has partially finished the work requisite for a doctor’s degree at Yale university, has had one year's ex- perience teaching in the University of Michigan and comes to Storrs with a good record behind him. “There is no reason why young men of Connecticut should not be found filling many responsible positions in marketing in_ the near future” said Prof. Guy Thursday. “It would be unfortunate if the state found it nec- essary to go beyond its own bound- aries to find the men they need to do their work.”” “The college expects and will do it part and for this reason these courses are beingy made a regu- iar part of the curriculum.” HEAVY THUNDER STORM AT CAMP DEVENS Many of the New Arrivals Were Thor- oughly Drenched.
