R. Butts presiding. Plans for a house to house campaign were formulated as were plans for a big Liberty loan rally to be held in the town hall, The committee in charge of the Lil erty Loan drive in the Norwich dis- triet, realizing the urgent peed of a more intensive campaign if Norwich would go over the top with flying col- ors, have decidec upon a house to house canvass as the best means of reaching everyone in the city. The committee appointed Thomas H. Beckley, who so successfully con- ducted the K. of C. campaignin this city a short time ago, as commander- in-chief of the canvassing forces. The general plan outlined by Mr. Beckley is that the city and town be divided into twenty sections. Twenty cap- tains be appointed and each ecaptain, who is to select his team of ten men, be assigned- to one section. This plan was thought to be the most practical J.| York and the camp. and it was decided to begin the house to house canvass on Sunday next and continue it until- every man, woman and child has been approached to buy a Liberty bond, The twenty captains selecte® were as follows: H. F. Par- ker, Martin Rozyckl, Philip A. Wells, William A. Norton, James C. Sheridan, J F. Burns, Archa W. Coit, P. T. Con~ nell, Alexander . Reeves, Dr. E. J. Brophy, Abner Schwartz, F. W. Les- ter, Archibald Torrance, C. A. Sger- man, J. D. Pfeiffer, Harry B, Ford, J. G. Potter, J. A, Desmond, J. J. Cor- ery, M. J. Curran. These captains will ‘meet on Wednesday evening in the directors’ rooms of the Norwich Savings Society and _announce the names of the men on their teams as well to be assigned to their sections. An executive comimittee to,conduct the house to house campaign in con- junction with the teams was also ap- pointed. The committee appointed was as follows: John M. Lee, chair- man, Mrs. Edwin W. Higgins, Mrs. Channing Huntington; Mrs, Martin i, Allyn L. .Brown, Martin Abner Schwartz, F. B, Haze ard, J. C. Sheridan_Bruno Pedace, W.’ Burke. W. S. Elliott, AShley T. Boon and C. R. Butts. A publici committee was. appoint- el as follows: Weston C. Pullen, chairman, Edwara Browne Charles F. Whitney and Myles E. Standish, policy of holding a mass meet- fie at the town hall was discussed and| et with the appraval of the commit- toe. committee appointed to as- sume charge of the Liberty Loan rally was as. follows: Lee Roy Robbins, chairman, Shepard B. Palmer,. Wes. ton C. Pullen, Mrs. Edwin W. Hig- ging, Mrs, Channing Huntington, Kd- ward_“Beowne, C. F, Whitney and Myles E. Standish. At a subsequent meeting of the executive committee of the Liberty loan hguse to house canvass further plang were drawn up regarding the campaign and a committee on -plans of territory was appointed which comprised M. J. Curran. chairman, Tylex C. Guy, €. J. Downes and M. C. Higgins. The Liberty loan raily committee held a short meeting after the com- mittee meeting and laid plans for the rally which the committge proposes to make the largest yet. Plans are un- der way for a large parade and also prominent speakers are to he engaged. The date for the rally”has not been definitely decided but it™is probable that it will be held on' Saturdayv eve- ning previous to the start>of the house to_house canvass. Norwich must go over the top. She has made a good start but it is not start enough. This third loan is the biggest blow at the kaiser and autoc- racy ever delivered and every true American should add his or her bit to this . great miovement.

CALLAHAN NOT N WRECKED TRAIN Fears For Safety of Norwich Man Are Relieved. As Lieutenant John W. Callahan, now stationed at Camp Upton, L. L left this city Sunday evening to re- turn to his camp considerable anxie- ty was felt when it was learned that a train had been wrecked between New Lieut. Callahan was suprosed to have left New York abont three o'clock Monday morning which was a short time before the wreck took place. = As first reports did not state in which direction the train_was running when wrecked it was thought that Lieut. Callahan was on it, When the later reports showed that the train was _running from Camp Upton to New York the fears of Norwich people were relieved. OBITUARY. Mrs. Patrick Barry.

Feature Moving Pictures. & derailed car on the early afternoon train from New London Monday was responsible for the non-arrival of William §. Hart at the Davis theatre in time for the matinee performance. However he arrived in_time for the evening performance and appeared on the screen before a large sized audi- ence. The film is Hart's latest Art- craft picture and it is entitled Blue Blazes Rawde: “Blue Blazes' Rawden” the part por- trayed by Hart, is a lumberjack who has lived all his.life in the great woods. He strolls into the dance hall and sambling room /of “Ladyfingers” Hilgard, a “black sheep” from Eng- land, whose escapades all over tha world have landed him in this remote place of concealment. . Between Raw- den and Hilgard there is instinctive antipathy which bursts into hatred ‘when Rawden wins the smiles of Hil- gard’s sweeth?art and wins. his pos- sessions at his gaming tables. Hil- gard suggests a duel to the death in a darkened room, and In the strus- gle falls a victim of his r Before dving Hilgard confesses he is glad to leave the world, as his motiter is on her way to join him and if she knew the life he led it, would kill her. The ‘mother arrives with a younger son, and Rawden imposes silence upon the habitues by threats of death to any] one who discloses to the mother the life or manner of death of her son The mother is a sweet, high-bred wo- man and believes that her son was worthy and passed away surrounded Dby friends. She bestows her affec- tion on Rawden, whom she believes was Hilgard’s greatest friend. All might have gone well but for the jealousy of a half breed girl who madly loved Rawficn, and, when spurned, divulg- ed the fruth to the vounger son, Eric who shoots and wounds Rawden to avenge his brother's death, though Rawden offers no defense to the at- tack. Unable to face the misery of ithe mother, whom he worships, Rawden leaves the camp and passec out of the little world on the lone- trail over the mountaine, and by a silent under- f 'standing the rough hardener men of the camp kept from Mrs, ‘Hilgard the ‘Hn Just aun complmd Im,lul One Thounnd Volnmur Wnrk-rm erl.

Goddard wili st in motion the tab- ulation machinery which performed a great service for the state last year in the tabulation of the state mili tary census. Fairfield, Hartford, New Haven and Tolland counties conducted the agri- cultural survey through their county farm bureaus. Each town had from six to fifteen practical farmers mak- ing the canvass in their neighbor- hood. ' They received their appoint- ment from the chairman of the local ‘War Bureau and were under the su- pervision of the county farm agents and their assistants. Lijtchfield coun- ty's survey was taken earlicr in the year and served as a working model. ‘ddlesex, New London and Windham countles will take their farm census next fall. Some of the conspicuous advantages of ‘taking the farm survey have been demonstrated while the actual census Was in progress.* County agents have learned through perusal of census ra- Dofts that certain farmers had live- stock to sell or that others wanted to buy. With this knowledge they have been sble to bring together the men who were in the market to sell and those who were ready to buy. Unoccupied farms and those for sale | or to rent have been located by census methods and steps are beipg taken to utilize these farms this season cause of the patrietic Tolland county, the county. a snabled through the census reports fo place $200 worth of seeds with the farmers who were planting their spring wheat and = who otherwise would have been unable to get it Litchfield county’s recent survey fs beinw followed up by havinz an ex- pert in farm machinery visit the farm- ers’who have grain harvesting an threshing machin He is learning about the condition of the machinery as to whether it is in need of repairs and in addition how much outside work the owner can do for his neigh- bors.

It provides an am cultural mailing list for the state gov- ernment that will be of inestimable value in distributing necessary - in- formation among the farmers and in turn securing facts from them. CLOSE RACE IN STORRS EGG CONTEST Connecticut Hens Tie For First Place With Canadian Pen.’ In no pervious week of the laying contest mow running at Storrs has there been such close _competition among the pens. Clifford I Stoddard’s Leghorng from Woodbridge, Conn., and Tom J. Adamson's Barred Rocks from Laurel. Quebec tied for first place with 56 eggs each, Deer Brook Poultry Farm's R. I, Reds from Short Falls, N. H., were in second place with a yield of 55 eggs, Two pens of Bar- red Rocks entered by Merrit M. Clark, Brookfleld Center, Conn, and Inale- side Farm, Palenville, (., Fred Rockwood's Buff _Wyandottes from South Brookline, N. 'H. Springdale Poultry Farms, R, I. Reds from Dur- ham, Conn, and two pens of Lag horrs: gwned by George Phillips, S mour, Conn., and Oak Hill Estate. of jonville, Pa., all tied for third place with 53 eggs each. As further evi- dence of the closeness of: the compe- tition it may be said that a Long Is- land pen of Barred Rocks, a Massa- chusetts pen of White Rocks, a Rhode Island pen of White Wyandottes, a Connectieut pen of Buff Wyandottes and a New Jersey pen of White Leg- horns all tied' for fourth place with 50 eggs each. ' Thus there was a to- tal of eleven hens tied for third and fourth places. The total yield for all pens amounted to 4351 eggs or a pro- duction of 62.2 per cent. During the twenty-thir marketable eggs were laid; these were so small thay it would require 38 of them to weigh a pound—whereds the commonly accepted standard is 8 esgs to 2 pound. On the other hand Homer P. Denning’s R. I Red No. 380, laid an egz that weighed just a trifie over 4 ounces or an average of 4 eggs to the pound. It has been more or less com- monly befjeved that abnormally small or large eggs market the beginning or end of a hen's cluteh, but this theo= ry is no longer tenable; the fact is that hens are more likely to lay very small eggs or very large eggs at or during the height of the laying sea- son; in otheriwords, when egg produc- tion is at its zenith there is ofviously greater opportunity .for abnormality; neither the little egg nor the big one means that a hen has just staried to lay or that she has finished and 1s about to become broody. Under sized or over sized eggs are a good sign that the flock 18 laying heavily. The three best pens in each of the principal varieties are as follows: Barred Plymouth Rocks. Jen 4 3ules F.

The day's advices indicated again that Field Marshal Haig's men were obeying to the letter his call for unyielding resistance, The weekly review published by the war department, althouzh it carried operations only ‘up to last Saturday, showed that “war collage opinion saw then indications that the German wave was reaching its crest.” In allied di- plomatic and military circles the sa; impression pfevailed today strength- ened by more recent reports from the front. Fierce Fighting on Northern Line, Despatches indicate that the fercest fighting is on the forthern iine of the new salient ‘driven into the British front north of Arras. The struggle for possession of Neuve Eglise ahd towns in that region looks to observ- ers here like an effort by the enemy to force a way behind Ypres and the congequent abandonment of that place of the British line. The m were in possession of Neuve Eglise by last accounts, but they had previously captured it only to be driven out ain.

Such moves as he may be contemplat- ing may well depend, it is said, upun the stabilization of the alied left fiank. On the right, the French ap- pear to have succeeded in efleeth' such a stabilization.
