'h*.um‘ Dec. 8.—The time was whea, popular fancy, no good soldier #wer dedked at his heels. The,belief, fos- ‘taped by’ countless jokesmiths, is due te #a rudely shattered when the doughboys |. of the present army offer their testimony |nhe dou Mscerding to officials of th war Wment. The good soldier of the present @ay is giving careful attention to mot Wuly Rhis shoes, heels .and soles, but to overy item of his equipment, they de- slare—and all because of the wave of Geomomy that has swept over the mili- Wry'arm of the service. Ia‘its effort to live within the reduced spwrepristion granted by the present eon- grems the army has been forced to apply- Smsuemies ali along the line, and.the Rrift Badit s being impressed em the & out their thit thréatened demonstrated, and to prove ruinous, h it’ was -su; that. the man behind the gun:be personally responsible for the mate of his feotwear. The sug- gestién was adopted and as translated to the rank and file in ‘runs abeut as follows: Privates will see. that tteir shoe soles are in. good order—that they are turned in for replacement at the first sign of 4 hole In the outer :layer of leather.

When a privatel er “non-com” takes his.bes; girl to the movies. he is clad in his Sunday best, the.suit he wears only at inspection and when on pass. In his other waking hours he is uniformed in khaki that has geen better days but still is servicea- ble for drills and camp routine. inspection of silvaged clothing are made by the inspector general to the end that is a minimum of servies in it. Feonomies in clothing, hewever, are merely straws to show how. the’ wind is blowin in the army. The effort to make congress’ dollars go as far as pos- sible is appareng all along the lins, and even the rawest- of recruits is aware that thrift is regarded as a cardinal vir- tue in the army. That is impresseq en him as .soon as he enlists, for where it once was pessible te join the colers in one part of the country and be assigned to duty with some remote organization, getting' a_splendid oppertunity to America First” at the present expense of the war department, things work out ouite differently now. Reecruits-are as. rigned to organizations nearest the sta tions where they enlist, and the day ot free sight-seeing tours are ever, war | department officials assert. This transportatlon tat%o is fast be- becoming all -inclusive, according to the army officera. In times p2st, when a regiment was transferred to another pest the transfer was accomwlished by, en- training the ten and their impedimenta and setting them down in their new home bag and baggase. Under the new scheme of things the transfer of a regiment in- volves no such expenditure ‘of time and money. Only the colors of the outfits to be transferred are sent on the new post, the men being assigned to some other organization nearby. An instance of .this is to be found In the recent transfer of the 13th Infantry regiment from the Atlantic.to the Pacific ‘coast. . The colors of the 18th weie sent to San Franclsco—and by beat instead of train, to save expense—the men of the old 18th ‘were transferred to the 29th Infantry reziment, nearby, and the new regiment on the Pacific coast was filled by members of the 32nd Infantry who had been put on the inactive list, at the Presido. Even the colenel of the 32nd Infantry became the commander of the “transferred” 18th. ‘When transfers of units are te be made at lesser distances:they are accomplish- ed by hiking. The men shoulder their fuil impost of equipment, the aceompany- Ing baggage trains are ivaded, the com- mand to march is giver and the outfit'is on its way to its new post. Another evidencé of the army's effort to cut its cost of expense accordirz to the cloth anpropriated is:té be found In a new sentence that is beginning te ap- pear in the zeneral orders of the:chief of staff. That sentence reads: “No “ex- pense will be incurred hr the govern- ment in connection with the change here- lin directed.” Interpreted by officials of the war dedartment, it means that no | ividual transfers are being made ex- 1 ‘VICTROLA No. 100 $150.00 Select Any Victrola andflve will deliver it to your home without a first payment.

RING D\uin‘ the last two months a number ‘of men in several commpmities. haWe shown a great deal of interest in work= ing out some plan for spraying the or. chards In these different localities. At 2 small group meeting held a short time ago at the Scotland’ Road hall, plans were made 1o organize a spray ring that would take in all the orchards around ‘Norwich Town. H. J. Larkham of Plain Hill who is in charge of the fruit pro- ject for Naywich said that he had talke ed with a number of the men and - felt réasonably sure that emough men. could be seeured to organize a soray -ring ®o | that thers would be at least 600 trees, to be sprayed. At this meeting temtative plans were drawn so that the men who joined this fruit association would sub- scribe for stock at ‘the rate of *$1 for each tree which they wished to have | . sprayed. Thus if. a man had 50 trees he would subscribe for $50 worth of stock and the man that had only 10 trees would subscribe for but $10 worth ef stock. 5 Plans are going forward also in. Gris- woid where O. T. Armstreng ths fruft project leader, hasg secured a number of men that are interested in this prope- sition. Plans have been made to held the organization meetings, the one at Norwich to be held on the evening of December 28th at the Scotland Read hall and the one at Griswo'd to he held on the afternoon .of December 30th at Pa- chaug. The ‘men at North Stoningten and. also at Waterford have shown seme interest in this proposition and it 18 possible that several of these so-callad “spray .rings” will ba organized by the Farm Bureau before the winter is over. Tha advantas of a2 snrav rine or fruit association is to take care of the ‘small orchards' varving ‘ali tha wav from 15 te 100 - trees in farming localities -whare there are no means available for efficient sprayine, It has been nroven hevond a doubt that to secure goo--results frem spraying a laree enough spray outfit' must be used tn sacure mond . mressure, This means ari investment of all the way frem £200 to 2500 for the outfit." The farmer Wwho has only a few treee does mot feel able to invest 5o much monav In inex- pensive machinery which will last anly 8 or 10 vears at the most”ard will be in use only a very sma’l nart nf tha vear.

I one county alone in 19240, 12,000 tree were spraved, the averace fa ing only 35 trees. It was fo 2 survey made' at that time average Income from these which were spraved was $120. if they had not been sp-aved at would have been little or no incc eept from cider from these orchards STATE'S CROP OF WAY FELL OFF IN TEN Connecticut in 1919, partment of census figu partment of census firures prod YEAR lem.
