Alexander E. Fenner. major of the veteran organization of the First company, Governor’s Foot Guard, for years ‘a street railway man-and or- ganizer of the' well known minstrel company which bore his name, died at 8.35 o'clock Friday evening at home, 3¢ Connecticut boulevard, East Hartford, after an illness of several months from Bright's disease. “Al” Fenner, as he was usually known, was a popular member of the “Feeters’ 'and was very -active in the entertainment work of the organiza- tion. He for many years cohducted a minstrel organization called “Al Fen- ner’s Minstrels,” and shows were given not only in Hartford but elsewhere in thq state, and Mr. Fenner proved to be an end man of no little ability. He was an active member of the Foot Guard about eight years and for the past seven years he has been a mem- ber of the yeteran company and at the annual meeting last October he :i'“ elected major of that organiza- lon. Years ago Mr. Fenner was a street railway conductor, giving up that work to be 4 Hartford policeman, but afier a short time he resigned from the police department to go baek to his old place as conductor on the care of the Hartford Street Raflway company, with whom he remained until that company was succeeded by the Con- necticut company. Mr. Fenner was born in New York city May 7, 1857, the son of James and Barbara Fenner. He was edu- cated in the New York schools and in his early life he moved to New Lon- don, where he was bookkeeper at the New London woolen miils, going to Hartford in 1891, and entering the empioy of the street rail%ay company. He married Miss Cornelia Shipman of New. London in 1891. He leaves a wife and one son, Leroy A. Fenner. Mrs. Georgiana Brown. Mre. Georgiana Bfown, wife of Capt. Jasper L. Brown, died at her home in Noank Friday afternoon at 3 o'clock after a long fillness which. however, did not occasion -alarm until near its close. She was born in 1851, the daughter of James L. Davis and Pru- dence Baker Davis. Besides her husband, she leaves a daughter, Mrs. Clarence Bradley, three brothers, Capt _Clarence Davis, Elmer E. Davis and Ernest F. Davis, all of Noank, and one sister, Mrs. Henry A. Wilbur. of Mystic. Mrs. Brown was a member of the Noank Baptist church and one of the workers in Liberty council, D. of A., where she held of- fice for a long term. Shé had many friends and was dearly loved in her home. e great care and skill. Following the exhibit Mrs. Greenfield of New York spoke to the people, telling them of her visit to the Holy Land several years ago. She spoke of meeting a man on the road to Jericho who had a disgusting look and she learned up- on inquiry that “he was one of those on the walls there ‘were serves g{rom the New Testament written in He- brew charadlers ang that only Jews ‘were permitted the hospital. Mrs, Greenfield told of the hardships that the pioneers who had gone to the Hply Land to reclaim it had endured, ‘How they had fought off disease and had tilled the barren land. She also told of the great work being dome by the Hadassah women in many places She described the schools that are be ing established for the Hebrew chil dren and also pointed out the work of the restoration fund. She made an earnest appeal to .the Jewish people to give their money for this great work. Nearly two hundred dollars was_contributed by those present. After Mrs. Greenfield’s talk Herman Alofsin 2nd auctioned off some of the articles made by the sewing circle. Some of these pieces brought as high as §15 te $18.

The Smith-Hoghes Act, which pro- vides government aid for high schools teaching agriculture has greatly in- creased the opportunity for men and women trained in the subjects, accord- ing to Dr. T. H. FEaton, who has charge of this work for the state board of education. The Connecticut Agricultural Col- lege, which has been designated by the federal government as the insti- tution for traininz these high school teachers, is providing special courses for those expecting to specailize in this work. These courses are formu- lated to meet the requirements of the board of education and place empha- sis not only upon the technical sub- Ject matter to be presented tut also upon the principles of education, in order that the teaching may be prop- erly done. There is a big demand for agriculs ture and home economics teachers a the present time, declares Dr. Eaton, who is at present spending consider- able part of his time in assisting in the installation of courses in agricul- ture in the high schools of the state which have decided to take advantage of the federal offer.

State Food Administration Admits Its Doubts as to Sincerity of All -~ plickay AMRhough nearly 280,000 Connecticut families signed the Hoover pledse card last fall and are mow supposed to be observing the meatless, wheatless and porkless days each week and meatless and wheatless meals each day, the federal food administration for Connecticut admits its doubts as jto the sincerity of all the pledge- signers. With the idea of getting into line those careless persons who are | nulliying the patriotic conservation efforts of others keeping their pledges, i the food administ: n has made pub- Hie the following appeal from Dr. Ver. inon Kellogg of the lief commiesion: “We have saved gome food during the last few months, the months since there has been a food admu We have made a good beginning. We must save more, not simply more in total, but more each month. We have already sent overseas for our army. in France and the soldiers and civilians of our associates in this war all of our surplus wheat and meat and fats. But they need much more. We can keep on sending therd what they need in only own- consumption of the food we have on hand and are constantly, producing. IWe need to reduce our consumption of wheat by ore-third and of fats and meat by ore-fifth. Doing this will not injure us in the least, for we are TIOW eating much more meat and fats than we need and we can easily use corn and other cereals to a considerable ex- tent in place of wheat. So, beginning right now, the food administration asks the American people te save more food than they have been saving, by faithfully following the mew program outlined in the'home card of 1918. “Wot all of our people can eat less H they now eaf for many are un- able to buy more food than they actu- y need. But if all who can save | wiil save, there will be enough for all of us, our assoclates' in this war, riendly: neutrals and ourselves. “Do not hoard food, for the govern- ment will keép in this country ensugh of every essential kind of foodstuff to supply all of our peeple. The govern- ment has no intention of ever taking an ounce of the home-made presedves or of the-home-grown products kept in pantry or cellar. Anyone who tells you otherwise is working for the éne- cither inteationally or uminten- tionally. FUNERALS Feank Whelan.
