PROFESSOR DODGE JOINS STORRS COLLEGE STAFF Connecticut Agricultural college at Storrs announces the appointment of Richard E. Dodge of Washington as a member of the extension stafl. In his new work Professor Dodge's official title will be assistant county agent leader, which means that he will share with the state leader the responsibility of assisting farm bureaus in super- vising their agents and in organizing their expanding activities. That Pro- fessor Dodge is amply equipped to en- ter this field is evidenced by the fact that he was one of the organizers of the Litchfield county farm bureau and is now its president, also a town di- rector and a member of- the executive committee. In agricultural circles Mr, Dodge is perhaps best known as a breeder of Holstein cows and vice president of the Connecticut Dairymen's associa- tion. S Mr. Dodge will assume his new du- ties the first .of October with head- quarters at Storrs, where hy will move his family. He will retain the presi- dency of the Litchfield farm bureau He has not yet agreed to remain be- vond the duration of the war. but the college, the farm bureaus and other agricultural interests of the state will be exceedingly fortunate if they can persuade him to stay on the job.

Lightless and “juiceless” periods for the city will also be things of the past when the new engine gets to operat- ing, it is confidently belicved, for the capacity of the now. overloaded elec- trical equipment will be so augment- ed that there ought to be nothing to fear for the future. By that time the plant will have en- gines of 750, 2,000 and 4,000 kilowatt power. The largest engine will be able to carry the entire load. leaving the other two for emergencies.

War department offici: in Wash- ington emphatically denied on Wed- nesday a rumor that the 102nd reg- iment had been returned to the United States. There have been all kinds of rumors out the 102nd regiment. It has been eported losing so heavily in casual- ties that some of its units were re- turned. and some rumors went far as to say it had landed at aw /@lay= tic port last Saturday.

An electriq light wire was reported down on Washington street near Lafayette street and another on Yan- tic street in the evening, but these were the only bits of trouble develop- ed by the storm. The new 4,000 kilowatt machine is already set up on its foundations at the city plant and the subsequent work is proceeding with all speed to get it into gperating conditior as soon as possible, but it will probably be over a month before it can be operat- ing. YANKEE TROPHIES TRAIN IS TO COME HERE At a meeting of the general commit- tee of the Fighting Fourth Liberty loan which will be starteq on Sept 28th, plans for the drive were formu- lated for the opening of the drive. There were 16 members of the com- mittee present Wecdtesday af ¢ nddn at the Norwich Savihgs s fiety un~ the leadership of Chairman W. H. Al- len, who is to lead Norwich victorious- ly over the top.

SENT TO PRISON FOR SHOOTING HOMER DAVIS In the superior court here on Wed- nesday, Antonio Di Carlo of this city was sentenced from two to three vears in state prison on the charge of ooting Homer Davis with intent to kill. Di Carlo is alleged to have tres- passed on farm cn the East Side while hunting last November and when he was warned off a quarrel en- sued, durinz which the accused shot the son of the owner. John Durr of Norwich was sen- tenced to three months in jail on the charge of breaking iail on June 15. James Osborne of tie pleaded guilty to the charge of simple assault on George Ingraham and was fined | $75.

VALUABLE ANTIQUES AND HEIRLOOMS BURNED Heirlooms and valuable antique fur- niture be]ongi‘g; to the family of Winslow T. illiams, formerly . of Yantic, were burned on Tuesday nizht in the fire that destroyed an auto- truck on the Montville road near the tuberculosis sanatorium. Thev were being moved from this city to New York where Mr. Williams and family are to reside. The truck that was burned was one of three that had left here late in the afternoon to transport the Williams | furniture, and the Joss will be consid- | erable, although the West Side fire { company saved a part of the furni- ure that was on this truck. In addition to fighting the fire they got to work unloading tbe truck as fast as posdible and in this way got much of the furniture out of reach of the flames. A piano that was loaded ! near the rear end of the truck was too | solidly packed in to be moved readily and was badly scqrched. The Williams furniture has been stored In the Majestic building on Wa- ter street for about four months. It has not all been removed yet. pre- to MORE THAN $1.600 FOR FOYER DU SOLDAT Net proceeds from the visii. here of the French Army Band will be over £600 more than the $1.000 which they were guaranteed for the Feyer Du Soldat.

Russell, U. S. fuel administra- tor for Connecticut, in an official statement issued at the capitol Wed- nesday. Mr. Russell, discussing-the general fuel situation in Connecticut, said he anticipated no suffering during the coming winter, provided proper dis- tribution was effected. He said that more homes had received coal to dats than ever before, but at the same time gave the impression that the proper Gistribution .of coal depended on the ability of domestic consumers of more than ten tons to get along, if need be, on two-thirds of their re- uirements, Why there is need of conservation when the output at the mines has been increased, and why consumers, whoie orders have not been filled, should not feel pessimistic about the situation, are questions answered in the state- ment, which follows: In view of the fact that the state fuel administration issued an order Sept. 10, prohibiting for the time be- ing any deliveries of anthrac:te coal in excess of two-thirds of the annual requirements, it occurs to me that a word ol explanation may serve to re- move any undue apprehension as to Connecticut’s fuel situation and at the same time emphasize once more the need of rigid economy on the part of every consumer. Heretofore I have not felt justiried in venturing to predict whether or not the needs of this state would be taken care.of satisfactorily; but 1 am now able to give certain assurances, based upon the somewhat improved trans- portation situation, the reduction of the plan of distripution to a practical working basis, and figures in my pos- session as to actual receipts of ~oal ic date as well as the carefuliy esti- mated requirements of eacia commu- mity and each industry. These assur- ances should be considered only in the light of the expianation waich fo lows them. The facts, in my Cpinion are: “1. Connecticut will receive this year about 20 per cent. more of do- mestic anthracite coal than ir 1916 This will not constitute a surplus, but is made necessary by the srowth of war industries and the consequent in- crease in population : “2. Wita equitable and economical distribution, there should be no suf- fering. this winter. “3. There will be enough anthracit2 coal to supply in full all homes using less than ten tons. “4. There will be enough to supply at least two-thirds of the require- ments of homes using more than 10 tons. I hope the percentage will be larger, but this must depend upon the verity of the winter and other un- nown factors. To be on the safe side, large homes must begin at once to conserve every pound of coal “In short, the clearly defined policy and indeed, the obvious duty, of the state fuel administration, is to protect the small consumer, ey:n at the ex- rense, if necessary, of_ the iarge one. Not only are the small consumers more numerous, but it is they who 1 1 Soap. lieved at once, and when I had used i OF UNSIGHTLY SKIN TROUBLE Oct. 14—“My face and neck broke out with small pimples which swelled and festered until boils. filled again, and caused intense pain and loss of sleep.

The question naturally arises, why extreme conservation is as necessary when Connecticut's supply w 9 per cent. increased, and particularly when the oatput at'the mines is great- er than ever before.
