Much is being said and written about soy beans, as a home grown source of protein for feeding stocks, and any- one who has inquired has discovered the fact' that there is an almost end- less number of varieties of seed offer- ed for sale. While all of these grow in Connecticut, very few produce the best results. In fact, from experi- ments, cprried on by the Connecticut Agricultural Experiment Station, the varieties which do the best here are not handled commercially. From specially selected stock, the Experimental Station in coperation with the Farm Burean, placed seed of twa of these varieties with farmers in New London County last season, and from this source enough seed was secured to furnish fifteen farmers with their supply this spring. A further supply of these selected varieties has been furnished this year to Nathaniel Manning & Son, Lebanon. L. D. Gif- ford, Salem, Joseph G. Clark, Ledyard, E. P. Barnes, Preston, and H. I.

TREADWAY MOURNED AT LANCASTER Flags on Public Buildings at Half Mast For Gallant Young Officer. The flags on the Lancaster, Mass, Town hall and public Library are at half mast for Lieut. Walcott West Treadway, who died in France July 20. Members of the gallant young soldier's family have just been read- ing his last letters to his wife—their marriage took piace Aug.. 17, 1917—and to his sister, Mrs. Sally Treadway Chickerins. % Lieutenanit Treadway's srandfather, Alfred West, went through the Civil war and died from wounds received in service, and his uncie, John Fred- erick Treadway, died in Andersonvile prison. A Meriden item of Saturday savs: Mrs, Marianna West Treadway, of No. 79 Colony street, has returned from Boston with her daughter-in-law, who is_the widow of Lieutenant Wal- cott West Treadway, who - died in France, July 20, from wounds sus- tained in action. She was Miss Ha- zel Turner, and they were married on Aug. 17, 1917, shortly before Lieuten- ant Treadway, a_Plattsburg graduate and 29 years old, sailed for Europe. He was assigned to the Twenty-sixth Infantry of the regular army. His young wife engaged immediate- Iy in conservation work in Boston, and was so occupied until informed of her husband’s death. She will remain for some time with Lieutenant Tread- way's mother. Lieutenant Treadway'’s father was the late Dr. Willlam B. Treadway, of Stamford, formerly of Norwich and his mother was also a former Norwich resident. THIRTEEN NAMES FOR STUDENT NURSE RESERVE. Six Were Recei on Saturday, the Last Enrollment Day. Six more young women enrolled on Saturday for the student nurse re- serve, making thirteen who have been secured in the Norwich campaign, and there are others who are considering it and will probably give in their names.

State councils of defense and their local agencies throughout thg country will have their activities and scope of work increased and broadened in accordance with the suggestion of President Wilson to Secretary of War Baker, made public on Monday. The President has asked the Sec- retary of War to communicate with all fedn®al departments and administra- tions his wish “That, when they are considering extensions of their organi- zations into the states or new work to be done in the states, they consider carefully whether they cannot utilize the state council system.” The letter of President Wilson' to Secretary of War Baker was in reply to one written | to the President by the Secretary cf‘ War outlining the accomplishments of the state councils of defense and re- commend that increased use be made of thoese war organizations. This action is one which Governor Marcus H. Holcomb and the Connecti- cut State Council of Defense have been urging for many months. As soon as Connecticut’s defense council organi- zation was perfected to a degree that made possible its efficient handling of | tasks assigned to it by (he federal gov- | ernment, letters were addressed by the Governor to various department heads in Washingtori advising them that civ- lion war work in this state should be carried on through the council. The <completion of Connecticut's organiza- tion was in advance of that in a ma- jority of the other states. Consequent Iy, awaiting the perfection of these other orfanizations, it was impossihle for the administration to susgest that state councils be generally used throughout- the country. In the mean- time, however, the organization In this state because Washington considered it efficient; has been made uce of ex- tensively. ‘When copies of the correspondent be- tween President Wilson and Secret- ary of War Baker were rhown to mem- bers of the Connecticut State. Council of Defense and departmens heads yes- terday, the unanimous expression was: We are ready to tackle any job that ‘Washington gives us and we will do our best to put it through. Our whole organization is unreservedly at the dis- posal of th federa! government in car- rying through any part of the tas] of downing the Hun.” Secretary Baker’s Letter The letter from Sec. Baker, called at- tention to the activities of the state councils of defense and outlinined their ability to handle war work eflicient- y. Tt concluded as follows: “The existence of this great nation- al system, valuable for each and every Government department, makes, of course. for economy of effort and rend- ers unnecessary the creation of mmech local federal machinery which would otherwise have to be set up for the performance of specific tasks, “May 1 suggest, that you ask an Federal Departments, Administrations, and Commissions, when pianning new work or extension of their organiza- 'tions, to consider carefully the poss bility of using the State Council sys- tem sa as to prevent duplcations? A better. understanding on this point throughout Washington, would, I think, make for the general efficiency of the ‘war machine. “Furthermore. will you not remind the heads of all Federal Departments, ‘Administrations and Commissions, that all requests and suggestion for work on the part of the State Couneil should be submitter through the State Coun- cil of the Council of National Defense? This. section has attained a strong po- sition and guidance in the programs committed to them for execution. Tt is clear that in the interest of eficiency all requests for action from the Federal Government should go to them throngh this single channel. In the past Fed- eral authorities have, not infrequently, caused contusion by going directly to the State Councils with recommenda- tions—sometimes with conflicting re- commendations. T believe a word from vou would prévent such misunder- standings in the future. “It js difficult to estimate the im- portance of the service rendered, since our- entrance into the war. by these State Councils, taeir County Councils and the multitude of workers banded together under them, Whom we esti- o SEVENTY-SEVEN STARS IN HINDMAN SCHOOL FLAG Notable Record By Kentucky School Where Norwich Girl Has Taught. Norwich friends of Miss Ruth Hunt- ington, head resident of the Hindman settlement school in Hindman,” Ken- tucky, will be interested in a story about that institution, which appears in & recent edition of the Courier- Journal, a Louisville newspaper. Miss Lucy Furman, who wrote this article, has charge of the farming and gar- dening work of the school, and is well known to the reading public through her charming books, Mothering on | Perilous and Sight to the Blind, which deal wit hthe joys—and some of the snocks—of a_settlement worker, dur- ing the pionesr days at Hindman on Troublesome Creel. Seventy-seven stars now adorn the service flag of the schoo!, which means that number of sturdy, patriotic Young mountaineers are serving the colors. Not ome boy over sgventeen s left in the school; some have not even waited for their eighteenth birth- day to enlist. This will be no sur- prise to those who know the ancestry of the mountains—how every boy is a born - sharpshooter and cavalryman, and how, at their country’s call, the young men have always poured forth as_one to serve. From the decisive Revolutionary battles of King's Mountain and Cow- rens, down through the War of 1812, the Mexican War, the Civil War (when 180,000 sharpshooters from the moun- tains came to the rescue of the Union), and the Spanish War, when the mountain boys fairly flew to arms, the call of country has gver been a welcome summons; and now, in the great war, the only sections of the United States, so far as we know, which have filled their quota by vol- unteering before a draft could be made, are some of the mountain coun- ties of Kentucky. In the heart of the Kentucky moun- tains, that region popularly regarded as the “home of feuds and moonshine,” a rural social settlement was begun in 1899 under the auspices of the State Federation of Women's Clubs of Kentucky. Haif a dozen young women from the more prosperous sections of Ken- tucky went up into the mountains, severa] d * journ from a railroad, and, pitching their tents, spent three successive summers holding _singing, sewing, ‘cooking and kindergarten classes, giving entertainments, visit- ing homes, and generally establishing friendly relations wi the men, wo- men and children of three counties. The following summer these inter- ested workers came again, setting up their “cloth houses,” or tents, on a steep hill overlooking Troublesome Creek and the little town of Hinds man, the Knott County seat, and about as_lawless as any town could be Shortly after the women arrived a dozen young men, leaders in former troubles, climbed the hill to the tents one fully armed, to offer their protection and services, and to assure the visitors that they should have peace if it took steel bullets to get it. Later on were held mass meetings of the “citizens” of the county, urg- ing the women to remain permanentiy and start a school for the vouns, the people offering to raise $700 to b small strip of land on Troub and the frame building on it. The call was too earnest and too urgent to be refused. Miss Pettit and Miss Stone went cut that winter and made talks and got the money neces- ary for the buildings and equipment, nd in the summer of 1902, the Hind- man_ Settlement School, an institution combining academic and indust training with various forms of s service, was opened. It was the only school of its kind in existence in the mountains. Boys and girls desiring to learn could come without a cent of money, and, in re- al turn for a few hours of labor daily, could get a first rate education. A cholarship of $100 a vear had to be raised_on the outside dent child. In sixteen years the kindergarten school has developed until more than 100 boys and girls now live in ‘he school, while 250 more attend day school: the three acres have growa to 150, the one building o fourteen, All along, the aim has been to fit the chil- dren for successful life in their own mountains, and, to this end, in addi- m to the academic courses, the boys are taught agriculture, carpentry, woodwork, mechanics and dairying, the girls cooking, sewing, laund work, weaving and home nursing. Besides the school proper, many forms of social service are engaged in. There is a hospital, in which clin- ics have been held for vears by the for each resi- Dest physicians of Lexington and Louisville, and in which far-reaching campaigns have been launched |egainst_trachoma, hookworm, tubercu- losis and typhoid; there are two train- ed nurses, one for. school work, one for district visiting; there is Sunday- school work, and a library, and moth- ers' clubs and glee clubs and game clubs and debating clubs; also a de- partment of fireside industries, which encourages and finds a market for the beautiful products of mountain looms. There is an extension worker, who carries instruction in canning, cooking, gardening and the like to re- moter neighborhoods. From nearly all the mountain coun- ties the children come, walking some- times as far as fifty miles, to try to enter the school. Nearly a thousand boys and girls are on our waiting lst, and have to be turned away every year for Jack of scholarships and Toom. It is cruel, when they are eager’and bright, and willing to work. There should be a school like this in every mountain country: and various tracts of land have been offered us for start- ing similar schools. But so far. be- cause of the difficulty of raising fands, only one other, the school at Pine Mountain, recently begun by Miss Pet- tit, has been started. Miss Stone re- maing at Hindman, assisted Dy Miss Ruth Huntington. The influence of the Hindman school extends through at least five counties, the entire tome of the life being changed for the better. The mountain people come of fine old stock, having the same ancestry as those in the Bluegrass region; they are a virile race, of fine natural In- telligence, and it is not surprising tq find much personal dignity, even gen- tleness of manner, among these men and women who have never had an opportunity for an education. ‘War times are pressing hard upon this school, to which every Hindman boy or girl aspires to £0; a number of scholarships of $100 each are need- ed at once, as well as donations of money for immediate use for living expenses and to repair worn-out equipment. What better use could be made of money by patriotic persons and or- ganizations than to open these doors of opportunity tc these little Sons and Daughters of the Revolution? Any gifts, large or small, will be most gratefully acknowlédged by Miss Huntington. In these times, when we are extending help everywhere else, we should also remember our moun- tain neighbors, who have numbered some of the most loval fighters that America has ever known, from Revo- lutionary days to this, the greatest war of all mander-in-Chief, will be proud of theii unique contribution in the war and will use your authority to broaden the.scope of their activities as conditions per- mate to number at least one million. 1 feel sure that you, as tneir Com- N mit, so that they may go on to still greater achievements. = TRUTH TRIUMPHS Norwich Citizens Testify for the Public Benefit. A truthtul statement of a Norwich citizen, given in his own words, should convince the most skeptical about the merits of Doan’s Kidney Pills. If you suffer- from backache, nervousness, sleeplessness, urinary disorders or any form of kidney lls, use a tested kid- ney medicine. A Norwich citizen tells of Doan’s Kidney Pills. Could you demand more convincing proof of merit? Wm. H. Brown, Fox Hill, near Ston- ington Road, says: “My back and Kidneys had given me considerable trouble for eight or ten vears. My work was heavy and this used to ir- ritate the trouble, for T noticed it most after my day's work. My back felt weak and tired and sharp pains caught me when I stooped. praising Doan's Kidney Pills and de- cided to give them a trial.
