Attawaugan, April 3.—The village of Attawaugan was threatened with destruction by fire tonight when the big barn of the Attawaugan company and some attached sheds and a-gar- age burst forth in a fire that looked extremely dangerous. Only the fact that it had rained during the night aliowed of the mill's company fire de- partment keeping the fire under con- trol bat the Methodist church and mil] company dwellings in the imme- diate vicinity were steaming with heat at times. The barn. and other struc- tures were burned to the ground. The loss could not be atcurately estimated at 1 o'clock but it may reach as high as $10,000. Five of eleven horses that were in the barn were burned to death The other six were gotten out and turned loose and were searched for after the fire. The horses that were burned belonged to the Attawaugan company. The six that were rescued were the property of Joseph Borgaro. He succeeded in releasing them and made a brave attempt to get the com- pany's horses out, but these animals were so frightened by the flames that they would not move from their stalls, Mr. Bogaro lost a touring car in the fire. The mill company horses, - cluding a number of wagons, har- nesses, tools and other such equip- ment and a quantity of hay. Mr. Bo- garo also lost wagons, harnesses and tools. The mill company started the pumps at their plant, giving ample water pressure through the street main to feed the streams that were directed at the fire which is the larg- est that has occurred in Attawaugan. The buildings that were destroyer were in one close group and together cov- ered a very considerable area. No reason could be given how the fire, which broke out about ten minutes to twelve, started. It was said, how- ever, that it started in one of - the sheds and might have been incendiary. The loss is partly covered by insur- ance. The offices of the Attawaugan company are in Norwich. AT THE DAVIS THE‘A’TRE It Pays to Advertise. In spite of wet weather Wednesday night the Davis theatre was practical- Iy sold out for the Myrkie-Harder production, It Pays to Advertise. As usual the Myrkle-Harder players ably defended their reputation. The play, which was originally profluced by Messrs. Cohan. & Harris, was rapid fire from beginning to end. Miss Myr- kle appeared in the role of Mary Gray- son and Jack Bertin as Rodney Mar- tin who bucked his father's soap trust and made a fortune in the soap busi- ness through ~advertising. James Dempsey, who appeared as Judge Weeks in Mile-a-Minute Kendall, was seen in the role of Ellery Clarke, ri- val soapmaker’s “model” son, Ralph Prady who made a hit as Jim Hvans in Mile-a-Minute Kendall, appeared as Charles Bronson. The production was in three acts. OBITUARY. Joe A. Cone, Following an intestinal obstruction, Joe A. Cone, well known writer of humorous poetry, died at St. Raph- ael’s hospital. New Haven.

Wednesday evening a rousing war rally was held in the town hall under the auspices of the Connecticut State Council of Defense. The rally was well attended ang the speaking was of an inspiring nature, Seven mem- bers of the Bass-Clef, under the direc- tion of James J. Moore, sang some of the war songs that are so popular with olir boys and led in the singing of | America and The Star Spangled Ban- ner in which 'the audience joined. Those who assisted Mr. Moore were Charles W. Parsons, Dr. C. H. Lamb, William A. Lund, William Mitchell, Dr. C. C. Gildersleeve, W. H. Rush and Miss Annie Taft was accompan- ist, b Beware of a ermln Peace. The meeting was called to order a few minufes after 8 o'clock by Ar- thur F. Libby, chairman of the local war bureaun. Prayer was offered by Rev. Arthur F. Purkiss, after which the first verse of America was sung under the leadership of the Bass-Clef members. In his opening remarks Mr. Libby said: Ladies and Gentlemen:—We are for- tunate to be able to hold a war rally this evening under the auspices of the state council of defemse. You know ‘“over there” there are first line trenches and the reserves. The prob- lem before us is whether ot go into the frontline trenches “over here” or whether to sit idly by and wait for peace. Before the war the trade mark, ‘Made in Germany,” was famous all over the world. What we must be- ware of is a peace made in Germany. Such a peace might be as beautiful as the setting sun, but like the setting sun, it would soon pass away, without leaving a trace, and leave the world in the darkness of despair. Not un- til we get victory may the world rest in the light of peace. The Bass-Clef members then rendered There's ‘a Long, Long Trail . A Struggle Between Nations The first speaker of the evening was Rev. Robert S. Moore of Willimantic who spoke on the Indispensable’ Con- ditions of Victory. He said: When our fathers and uncles fought to pregerve the Union in 61 they fought in an ar- my where when you met the enemy it was man against man. Now it'is the German army, the German people and all their resources agzainst the allies. War has ceased to be a gortest be- tween armies. It is now 3 struggle between nations, All talk’apout peace is foolish: all talk of reconstruction is absurd: all talk of tradé transforma- tlon and recreation is futile. The one idea at the base of all’ our actions must be victory. / : “When I was a yeungster 1 used to play hall on my school team, “even though my figure doesn’t look it today. I remember we used to be in the field, fighting for the hongr of the school and the much larger/ crowd would be in the bleachers offering advice. That is the trouble today. There are too many people in the bleachers and too few the game. “Victory is ours/ if we want it and are willing to pay the price, whatever it may amount to. We have the nec- essary men. We have the necessary. money and we have two and one-half times as much money as Germany. We must suve food for the country as it stands foday is on the brink of starvation. We must save coal for in the present struggle coal means ev- erythine. . The man who heats his house to an Inordinate degree is de- laying the ‘hour of victory. We must cut out upnecessary travel. Our pro- duce is of no use unless it can be brought .to the seaports where it can be shipped to France. We need labor and the non-essential Industries must be abgndoned when there is such a crying need for workers in the ship- vards in the munition factories ang o the farms. No useless industry should exist. / The S8triker a Traitor! 'his is no time to squabble about wages. The man who strikes for more wages is a traitor and the manufac- furer who throttles his country for his jown gain ought to be shot. There is no place in modern American life for the lazy man for he is the real slack- er is the open ally of the kaiser. We must have the grit and determination just as Washington has at Valley Forge to always believe in Victory and put aside all thoughts of peace, re- construction and trade gain. We must think only of victory until victorv is won. The vocal selection was Keep the Home Fires Burning. The second speaker was Mrs. E. W. W. Hayward of Hartford, who spoke on Woman’s Part in Victory. She said, We have been at war for'a year and have not besun to realize what it means. The women of the allies did not say to their men protect our country and us without our help. They have stepped in and done all possible work to aid their husbands and broth- ers. The women of America with their wonderful background of patri- otic achievement of women in 76 and ’61 will not fall behind their European sisters. Women Doing Wonderful Work. The women of Great Britain have been doing a wonderful work. They have given the lie to the statement that woman is the physical inferior of man by doing the hardest lsind of manual Jabor. There are over 1,000,- (00 English women in the munition factories. Then there are the “V. A. all of which are women’s organizations which do men’s work in order to re- jease men .for active Service, The French women are doing much the same line of work with ad®eqd danger. In the Champagne region the~women are cultivating the vineyards under almost constant shellfire. The French women have not been used to organ- ized effort like their Anglo-Saxon sis- ters which probably accounts for their ereater originality. For instance the comfort kit was invented by a “social butterfly” of Paris whom no one thought did anything - except attend social functions. What Women Must Do. But the prime object is to find out what we must do. Belong to the Red Cross. If you mre unable to take heme work, at least pay your dues. Help in the agricultural campaign. We will need more food than ever before this summer, and it is up to the wom- en to produce their share. Under the direction of the etate council of de- fense a woman’s land army for work on the farms is being organized. Then it is estimated that there will be need of 37,500 more Red Cross nurses to take the places of those who .have left this country to do work in France. There is also a pressing need of wom- en to undertake the education of the sixty odd millions of people in fhid country who do not speak English. As far as the question of food is concerned the best thing to do is to follow ghe directions of Mr. Hoover, and if we have to sacrifice console ourselves with the thought that oud boys on the other side are getting plenty. We must keep smiling, for it ig half the battle to be cheerful. We must be brave, for saddened Paris who on last Fourth of July turned her eyes after the Amer- ican flag, looking ot it throwgh tears .

The Bass Clef members then rendered “Pack Up Yoyr Troubles Your Old Kit Bag” * Victory or Servitude. The flaal speaker of the'evening was Dr. Benjamin T. Marshall of the Con- necticut College for Women. His sub- ject was Victory or Servitude, He said: Those of us whose lives began in or before 1870 have witnessed the hatching of thHe most insidious, malevolent, vindictive and hideous pro- Jject ever concocted by mortal man.

To show what the temper of the German people is: A petition bearing the signature; of 1,352 of the middle class of Germany was circulated in June, 1915, praying the German sol- é:.irs to seize praetically the entire orld and place it at the feet of Kaiserism. Germany’s program two years ago included the project now called the Mittel Europa empire. Ger- 135 Use of— ‘Buildings Equipment ire .. ...

The lowest cost is in a herd of 135 cows, ppro- ducing 6519 lbs. of milk. There are several dominant facts in this low cost. Practically 1,000 lbs. of milk per cow were made in excess of any other herd and in one case over 2,000 ibs. But probably the most important factor in this low cost of production is seen by the following table, showing the amount in tons of grain, hay and silage few per cow per year: many has exceeded her wildest dream |p. .. o .1"255" S;la.ge?ga.in Milk of two years ago by millions of square Poons“t mf L 51 '5‘5 mi miles” of territory.

The German scheme of world do- minion is not impossible; it is not impracticable. When the Roman em- pire without the aid of any modern inventions could hold her vast terri- tory, surely Germany could hold the world when- by means of the present rapid communication any rebellion would be known in Potsdam within a few minutes after it started. This is what is coming unless we break up their dream by military force and say with the French: They shall not pass ‘when our line of cold blue steel meets theirs. Victory the Watchword! Unless we win, free Americans will be reduced to a degree of servitude such as we thought we had escaped for all time. Our one word must be Victory! Not until this war has been eternally won can we think of peace. But Germany has not won yet. She has been outfought in every campaign —at the Marne, at. Verdun, on the Piave, in Mesopotamia and is being outfought at this very minute on the banks of the Somme. The Germans are such poor sports that they refuse to take a sporting chance in a sea fight, and as long as America and England hold the Atlantic and Japan the Pacific Germany is doomed to failure. Tonight there are boys, many of them Con- necticut boys, trudging up the trench- es from the supports and it is them that we must get back of with the gfit and determination that is in us. It i sa significant fact that the presi- dent’s proclamation sending into the war on April 6, 1917, found us on our knees in Good Friday prayer. I hon- estly believe that no nation has ever entered a war with more lofty purpose and cleaner hands, souls and swords. The hall was decorated with the na- tional ensign and the flags of the al- lies. The decorations were done by Misses Teresa Steiner, Mary Richards, Mary Shannon and William Norton. The flags and bunting were loaned by ‘William Norton. Mrs. Edwin Fay, the Boston store, Taylor's 50-cent store and 'Woolworth’s. The farm feeding the largest spuount of hay produced milk the cheapest. One farm lost about $400 on the dairy herd and they were fed as follows: Hay 57t, silage 1, grain 1.2 per cow per year. In this case more grain was fed than hay, and inasmuch as grain furnished nutrients at the greatest cost loss was inevitable. % Farm accounts which have been kept on these seven farms afforded the best means of determining the cost of milk production and the financial condition of the farm business as a whole. WOMEN'S LIBERTY LOAN COMMITTEE MAKES PLANS Four Minute Committee Appointed to Speak at Local Gatherings, The woman's committee for the third Liberty Loan campaign for Norwich met in the council room at the court house Wednesday afternoon for or ganization. A good number of the members of the local committee of which Mrs. Edwin W. Higgins is the chafrman were present as well as sev- eral of the chairmen for the outlying districts who have been appointed by Mrs. Morgan G. Bulkeley. chairman for the state. These chairmen will be as- sisted by the committee in the larger. towns such as Norwich. = Charles R.

However, it was agreed that with this werk as a basis the assistant county agent’s time could be used te greater advantage by dircontinuing this type of work and putting in its place a project covering work of a broader scope, thereby reaching more mer—and_causing more ‘ general im- provement in dairy farming over the county as a whole. The report is as follows: Farming is a business the same as banking or running a railroad. It is a business which involves the pro- duction and sale of several kinds of products. Two important points must be considered: (1) What does it gost to produce these products? (2) By selling at market prices what profil is made on them? The problem of the farmer is to meet conditions on his own farm in a way which will give him the greatest net returns for his labor and the use of his capital. He should receive in- terest on his capital as well as wages for his labor, but owing to the lack of proper records few farmers know what wages they actually receive. Recognizing the fact that the dairy industry of New London county is the largest single farm industry of the county, and recognizing the fact that the permanence and continued pros- perity of this industry has a most im- portant bearing upon the economic welfare of the county at large, the farm bureau put a dairy epecialist in the field last spring to demonstrate to New London county farmers methods of efficient production by which dairy- ing could be made more profifable (1) By demonstration to the farmers the necessity of keeping systematic records as a means of determining the cost of milk production and demonstrate methods of reducing costs of produc- valuable work.
