Mildrum has received a letter from Thomas W.

Despite the fact that its first quota | of $7,520 was later changed to $9,400, the town has once more shown its ability to do what it sets out to do. Yesterday it was announced that it | was almost certain that the town would go beyond its quota and this noon Edward Brastow, the chairman of the campaign, aunounced that the | town has already exceeded its guota with good prospects of raising consid- erably more. The fact that the town has raised its quota is ohe more ac- complishment in its many war activ- | ities. The fact that the town has gone { over the top will show the boys who | have been fighting that thev are re- ‘ membered at home.

Edward Brastow, as gen- eral chairman, has kept busy every minute since the campaign started, and the work of his brother, L. Brastow, chairman of the publicity } committee, has been largely respons- ible for the result. One man with three bovs in the ser- vice gave $500 and wished he could give more.

HELPED ARGENTINE | Southh American Republic Has Been Compelled to Deveiop Own Natural Resources. 3uenos Aires, Oct. 5, ssociated (Correspond- | )—Re- striction of exports as a result of the | war has caused Argentina to seek the ! its own natural re- sources. A proposal now receiving a great amount of publicity and gener- al approval in the newspapers is the made by the Mir of Agriculture, Dr. Pueyrredon, to Pres- ident Irigoyen that the government ence of the A Pre: Aretoney | forests would also build an electric power plant at the ' Igazu Falls which, the minister would solve the fuel problem, open up vast regions of rich resources which are now dormant for lack of transportation facilities and bring Argentina and Brazil closer together commercially by means of an elect, railroad. One of the principal arguments of the minister’s friends is that the pro- posed power plani would do more than any other one thing toward de- veloping shipbuilding in Argentina as it would open up the rich'pine forests i and provide shelters for ng the limonite which is found in large quantities 1n this region and said to contain as high as 50 per cent. of iron. The working of the permit the manu- facture of print paper, which has been so scarce hare. The Igazu Falls are among largest in the world, being n ty feet higher than Niagara Falls and three times as wide. They are in the Izazu River in the Argentine territory of Misiones on the Brazilian fron- tier. One section, known as the Dev- il's Throat, is reputed to carry as much water the Niagara river. Dr. Pueyrredon conferred with the Brazillan minister here on the ques- tion of the two governments co-oper- ating on the proposition. Electrical engincers say that one of the smallest falls in the Igazu group could produce a million horse- power without detracting any from the beauty of the falls Tgazu Falls are litile known even to tou because of the difficulty of reaching them. From Buenos Aires, it is necessary to go by rail or river to Posadas, in the territor and then by horseback 1 days before reaching the falls are in a part of South Ame that is excecdingly hot and invested with poisonous insects so that the few who do brave the journey are required to wear heavy veils and gloves despite the heat. Capitalists have on several sions asked the Argentine Governs ment for concessions to operate a power plant at the Igazu Falls but their petitions never were acted upon. says, the r fif- SIEILIL Best Red Salmon T Best Libby’s Corn or Peas 3 cans 5 zc of Mis- | for | occa- | I ... 2 tall cans 496 Best Pink Salmon ... 2 tall cans 3 8 c W HARTFORD.
