CONNECTICUT JAM, SEVEN TONS, TO FRANCE.

Danbury fair and Fairfield county, Connecticut, have a new chapter written in their history, all on account of the seven tons of Jam sent to the French army hospitals. The Jam was made and packed by the women of the county, under the direction of the home demonstration agent, and was exhibited at the county fair. Following the exhibit it was loaded og auto trucks, gayly decorated with banners showing its origin and destination, driven to New’ York, down Fifth avenue and shipped to the front.
