' Universal Mz]zf ty S ervzee Gum The use of WRIGLEY'S by the fighting men has created much comment across the water. Even before American soldiers and sailors landed; the British, Canadian and French forces had adopted WRIGLEY’S as their war-fime sweetmeat. and now _that Uncle Sam’s stalwari boys are you’ll find hitting the line, WRIGLEY’S a very noficeable ally of the Allies.

We r o draft for Rhode Island, the large in- crement of 1263 will entnln at Prov- idence, with two district exceptions, on Saturday, May 25, at about 1030 in the morning, on a special train. o specilal seetion, going direct to New York. There transfer will be made to the Long Island railroad and the men will go to Camp Upton, Yaphank, N. Y. State Division No. 1, (West erly), and No. 2, will probably be en- trained at East Greenwich and Appo- naug, but it is possible that the train will stop here¢ and take aboard the 26_men from Westerly. Provost Marshal General Crowder has directed that the deficiency in State Division No. 6 (Bristol), where there are not enough Class 1 men to fill the quota, be made up by appor- tionment to other boards. The deficit will amount to between 30 and 40 men, towards the quota of 96. In- vestigators who arc examining the board’s records, have summoned 66 more mex for examination/who have exempted as aliens, although have talien out first papers. and from this number about 40 per cent. are expected to qualify for the pres- nt_call. The two Pawtucket districts will fi h a auota of but three men the number being reduced by 'ge number of .credits for volunteer i«rmy enlistments. Captain Webb has been advised, that to accomplish uniformity in all states, questionnaires should not be istributed to the young men reaching 21 since last June, who register un- or the new draft amendment. Cap- tain Webb had planned to effect both registration and classification at the same time, but' this plan is disap- proved. In the opinion of state draft officials the date of the new regis- tration will be June 5, the same as a vear ago. The United States Employment Bureau office for Rhode Island has received a request for 200 ship car- penters, or carpenters accustomed to rugged work such as heavy construc- tion bridge or dock building, and as many caulkers as can be secured. The request is from the Groton Iron Works, with plants in Groton and Noank. The pay offered is 70 cents an hour for first class carpenters, 65 cents an hour for second class and 55 for third class. For caulkers, 70 cents an hour for first class, 65 for second class, and 50 for third class. The present draft hits the West- erly post office hard. as it will erip- ple the working force to the extent of | three carriers. James A.

Fowler and Mrs. Fow- ler, returned to Fort Adams. Tuesday, on expiration of his furlough. The most attractive automobile secen on Westerly streets thus far this season, comes from Stonington, and is owned by the Atwoods. Even the exempted men of draft age are getting lonesome in West- erly, and some are now seeking to have their exemption removed. Rev. F.

Edward 1. Butier, of Westerly, Class of 1918 Brown ity, went to Camp Devens. Tuesd will enter the FKourth Officers’ Training school, for training for a commission. No definite plans have been made yet in regarq to the observance of Memorial Day¥. The Grand Army men have given over the management to Buick Camp, United Spanish War Veterans. Due to the uncertainty of railroad freight delivery, big autotrucks laden are | summer also | of the editorial department of |T Men to Be In Federal Service o with merchandise pass through Wes- terly. Included ifi the overland route, on Tuesday, were three truck loads of wire window screens. Westerly jitneurs' as a whole are well-behaved and evidently appreciate the public stand assigned them in Dixon square. They attend strictly to business and no complaint has come to the police for misbehaviar. The Westerly physiclans have es- tablished a new scale of prices. House calls have been advanced from $1.50 to §2, obstetric from $15 to $20, and consultations from §3 to $5. The of- fice call charge remains at $1. Young women now take tricks in the electrically controlled railroad towers between New London at Prov- idence, and are regularly stationed at the towers in Westerly and Mystic. They have not been tried out in the manually worked towers yet. Many men ‘who have left Westerly to work elsewhere, lured by higher wages, now realize that the differ- ence in the cost of Iiving, does not leave them any more cash balance at the end of the month than when they worked in their old home town. The vacancy in the Westerly police since the death of Sergeant West is still unfilled, although there are sev- eral applicants for the place. Were the police business to continue as it has been in the past week, but it will rot, there would be no need for po- licemen in Westerly. A green mail delivery man was on duty for a single trip from the rail- way station, Tuesday, and he deposit- ed two sacks of mail in the lobby of the post office. They were discovered by a former postmaster, promptly re- ported, and there was no delay in the delivery of the mail matter. One of the Pawcatuck draftees did not file exemption by reason of mar- riage, relying on exemption for phy- sical disability, by reason of two of his ribs being repaired by silver in- certions. He has been ordered to re- port on the 23d instant at New Lon- don, to go to Camp Upton. Red Cross Committee Members Named—Rockville Pastor Addresses Men’s Club—Howard Shute Dies at Hospital. Rev. A. F. Earnshaw, chairman for the committee of the Red Cross drive which starts Sunday evening, May 19, with a rally at the Congregational |church, when two speakers will be heard, called his committee together in Community hall Monday evening.
