With five minutes overtime/ the Kil- lingly High schoo] basketball team was able to get four points lead on the Windham High school team, and Eold it, winning 32 to 28 at the local gymn, We afternoon. The game was the fastest yet, and was anybody’s game up to the last min- ute, i Windham took the leadsin the first few minutes, with a field shot by Ho- wie, who was the fancy shooter for the game, after Killingly had missed a free shot. The Windham men then five points before Killingly and the game see-sawed be- tween the two teams during the first half. Kfllingly's first basket was shot by Reeves, one handed. The first half ended with the score ip favor of 'Wind- ham, 16 to 14. In the second half Killingly started with a miss for a goal shot. Pitgood then shot a field basket, followed by two misses for Windham on foul shots, while Killingly shot another foul shot and a field basket. The am boys then.went into the game with all of their hearts, three points behind. With the score at twenty-six to 24, la- ter in the half, Howie shot a field basket and Norton made his second basket, a pretty follow up shot, which tied the score. When the five minute overtime pe- riodwstarted, Howie started the scor- ing, but Killingly followed with three haskets, by Pitgood, McGorty and El- liot which gave them the game. Although the ball was on Killingly territory most of the time they were preventeq from shooting omly at im- possible shots. The guarding by both teams was good.

So-called stomaeh troubles, such as indigestion, gas, sourness, 'stomach- ache and inability to retain food, are in probably nine cases out of ten ‘sim- Dly evidence that excessive ‘secretion of acid is taking place in the stom- ach, causing the formation of gas and acid indigestion. Gas distends the stomach and causes that {’\xll oppressive burning feeling sometimes known as heartburn, while the acid irritates and inflames the dell- cate lining of the stomach. The trou- ble lies entirely in the excessive devel- ‘opment or secretion of acid. stop or prevent this souring of the food contents of the stomach and to neutralize the d and make it bland and harmiess, a teaspoonful of bisurated magnesia, a good and effect- ive corrector of aecid stomach, should be taken in a quarter of a giass of hot or cold water after ea.dnJ and when- ever gas, sourness or aéldity is felt. ‘This sweetens the stomach and neu- trafizes the acidity in a few moments and is a perfectly harmless and inex- pensive remedy to use.

SCOVILLE ADDRESSES MYSTIC Charles H., Wheeler D —S8u # rise Visit to Methodist Pastor —Harry Cutler Home from Panama. ‘Word has been received in Mystic of the death of Charles H. Wheeler at the home of his daughter, Mrs. George J. Green, in Westport, atter a long ill- ness. Mr. Wheeler was born in Mystic, the son of Mr. and- Mrs. Willlam Wheeler, ‘and was a seafaring man, Later for some years he conducted a grocery store on Pearl street. About two years ago he went to Newport to live. " He is survived by his daughter, Mrs. George J. Green, an da grand- daughter, a niece, Mrs. Palmer Brown, of Mystic, ‘and three nephews, Prof. Frank Wheeler of Hartford, Albert and John Wheeler of Mystic. The body will be brought to Mystic for burial today (Thursday). Surprise Visit to Pastor. Rev. Arthur H. Withee, pastor of the Methodist Episcopal church, was given a surprise party Tuesday by the mem- bers of Harry B. MacKenzie's young men's class and Mr. Withee's young ladies’ class of the Sunday school. The 28 young people met at the home of Misses Jennie and Daisy Tedferd and went to the parsonage. Mrs. Withee, aware of the venture, gasked the pastor to go upstairs for a while. The young people entered the parlor and awaited Mr. Withee's return. He made them welcome and then various games were played. The young people had not for- gotten to bring refreshments, which were served, Mrs. Withee being as- NDHAN FARVERS State Food Administrator Tells Brooklyn Gathering That Lack of Food Will Lose the War—B. G. Southwick Urg- es More and Better Corn. . (Special to The Bulletin.) Brooklyn, Conn., Feb. 27.—A meeting was held here today under the auspices of the Windham County Farmers as- sociation, co-operating with Brooklyn grange, with the object of encouraging more corn growing in,;Windham. coun- ty. Similar meetings have been ar- ranged for every town in the county. A conseryation corn supper was served, The address of the evening was deliv- ered by ‘Robert S. Scoville, state food administrator. In addition to Mr. Sco- ville, Benjamin G. Sowthwick of the Connecticut Agricultural college talked on More and Better Corn for Connec- ticut. Henry Dorrance of Plainfield opened the meeting and declared that Con- necticut must do her part to relieve the food situation by, increased pro- duetion. He said that we cannot mine coal in Connecticut, nor can we pro- duce many of the things which we might, but we can relieve the trans- portation system somewhat by pro- ducing our own food, Mr. Scoville said: The slogan which we have been using, “Food Wil Wm the War,” had better be changed to “Lack of Food. Will Lose the War.” Production is the cornerstone upon which the food situation rests. m the beginning it has seemed wise to the food administration to leave pro- duction in the hands of the depart- ment of agriculture. Funds hate been provided for placing men and women agents in every county of the United States. Fighty-five to %) per cent. of the counties of the United States have been organized. The food administra- tion has recognized the county agent as the medium through which it must work, as duplication would be absurd. In addition to funds provided by fed- eral and state governments, people must expect to support county organ- izations. In order that conservation and production may not be interfered with during the coming months, financial problems must be cleared up. The drive to secure funds s practical- 1y certain to succeed. ~ The food problem s a lator_pfoblem. Seyenty million people have been tak- en’ from various productive occupa- tions and put to work on destruction, Shortage of help is' not peculiar to agricultural enterprises. A banker in New York recently stated to me that he had been looking for moaths for a 310,000 man for private secretary to take the place of his former secretaxy, Who had resigned to enlist. The men cannot be found. Factorjes are.press- ed tp find men, and”in fact every oc- cupation is suffering for this reasop. The farmer has mo monopoly on the labcc;r shortage. nservation is ne , &s pro- duction can only be aceelerateq 1 a certain degree. New York is saving 4008 barrels of flour a day by conser- vation. No matter how much we con- erve, we will not have emough to go around unless conditions change very rapidly. It is a 50-50 gamble whether or not ‘we shall be able to et food to Italy in time to prevent a bad break- down. Due to bad food administra~ tion in-Ttaly, bread is 5o bad. that peo- ple have been made sick. When a sol- dier's wife and children are starving, he won't fight. France has made a beroic effort, but a large part of her agricultural land has been lost to the Germans. Bnegland is producing only 20 per cent. of her food supply. Ger- many is probably not as badly off as we are led to believe. If she can finance it, she can secure enough food through Russia to make herself se- cure. Europe requires 525.000,000 ‘bushels of wheat. Normally 80,000.000 bushels comes from the United States. Due to transportation difficulties, it must be increased to 200,000,000 bushels. In order to ‘meet the additional demand the American houdehold must reduce the amount of wheat used to 70 per dent. of normal. consumption. Burepe in every case is conserving more than this. Not a pound of European bread contains more than 50 per cent. of wheat: Today a man was fined $100° and costs for keeping five barrels of flour in his barn at one time. - sisted by Mns.
