The warring European nations are not the only ones in which the prices of food are practicing aviation these days bread, cake and other food’pro- ducts, have begun to soar in this city and it is announced that the general retail price of milk will be ten cents in a few days. In the case of staff of liwe, five and ten cent continue but the weight is subs stantially reduced. Said a leading bakere here this morn- ing: “A year ago flour was $5.50 to $6 a barrell; it is now $8.50 to $9.50, There is absolutely no profit in a five- cent loaf these davs and if the high price of flour continues, { shall aban- don making the nickel loaves alto- gether.” His statement was echoed at other establishments. A well known milkman observed “I understand the dealers are to unite in raising the price to ten cents. It is no weight and nine cents. For two 1 have been making practically no ‘profit. Cows are more than twice as high, feed costs twice as much and so does help, the latter being almost impossible to zet at any price. The only day the milkman can break any- where near even is to get ten cents a a quart”—New London Day.

Dry and wet advocates will line up in opposition in about the usual num- ber of towns at the elections on Mon- day; the figure generally being near the half-century mark. It is believed at the office of the secretary of the state that the reports of all the towns which will vote on the question of license have been raceived. Forty- eight towns have signified their inten- tion of voting on the question. Thirty license towns have reported that they will not take up the issue this year and 51 no-license are on the same list. Two years ago 55 towns voted on li- cense and last year this question came up in 50 of the towns of the state. It is considered probable that the few towns that have not reported will not vote on the license issue. Nineteen towns will not take part in the elec- tion this year. Under the laws of the state 10 per cent of the voters of teh towns wish- ing to bring up the license question must sign a petition and put it in the hands of their town clenks, who, in turn, must notify the secretary of the state. Ballots are then furnished. Separate ballots and separate boxes are used to decide the question of li- cense. The returns have been slow this year and the pressure of business on Secretary Charles D. Burnes and his staff has increased steadily, Re- ports from all towns to take part in the “small town” election this year must be made not later than 18 days before balfting takes place. So it is taken for granted that the towns which have not reported will not vote on_the license question. The elections will take place in October. Thirty-three license towns which will vote on thc question of license this year, with the number of voters in_each town not using voting ma- chines, include the following: Bran- ford, 2nd district 206, Coventry 425, Ellington 502, Killingly 139, Plainfield 1,114, Stafford 970, Sterling 308, Wind=~ ham ' 2,569. Fifteen no license towns, which will vote on the question of license with the number of voters in each town not using _voting machines_include Gris- wold 750, Harwinton 325, Sprague 450.
