A detailed statement of the parcel post packages handled at the local post office from October 2 to 16th shows an increase over any other rec- ord made at the office. Although this is the dull season the statement shows a gain of 10 per cent. in the number of parcel post packages handled and the amount of postage paid. The statement shows that 15,141 packages were handled, while during the corresponding period last year, 13,- 923 were handled. The postage paid totals $484.85 while in 1915 it was $411.12. Total weight is given as 1, 506,301 ounces, while in 1915 the weight wae 1,391,107 ounces. The statement follows: Number of parcels received from other offices for delivery at this office 9,548; number of parcels mailed at this office for local delivery, 115; total num- ber of parcels received for delivery, 9,658. Number of parcels delivered: Through general delivery windows and post office boxes, 615; by city car- riers on regular trips with other mail, 2,479; by rural carriers, 701; by special delivery, 86; total delivered without extra cost, 3,583.

Postmaster Murphy calls the atten- tion of the patrons to the necessity of explaining to the clerks the contents of the parcel post packages, as to whether they are frigtse or perishable, as such articles are placed in special sacks and labelled accordingly. All packages should be insured if only for the smallest amount, which is a three cent fee. This makes them a matter of record and as in many cases pack- ages are recived at tnetr destination and no acknowledgement made and some of the senders are at a loss to know if they were delivered. By being insured such information can be ob- talned from the department as re- ceipts are taken for them. Particularly does this apply to goods returne@ to business houses, as in many cases they do not credit them. NORWICH GRANGERS MAY CHANGE MEETING NIGHTS. Amendment to By-Laws Suggests First and Third Fridays Instead of Second and Fourth Wednesdays. The regular business meeting of Norwich grange, No. 172, Patrons of Husbandry, was held in Pythian hall on Wednesday evening with Worthy Master Charles A. Hagberg in the chair. The house furnishings com- mittee for the new hall reported that the crockery has arrived and is all read: 0 be placed in the hall. The following amendment to the by-laws was suggested: That our meeting night be changed from the second and fourth Wednesdays to the first and third Fridays. The amendment was left open for action at the next meet- ing. Turing the lecturer’s hour the roll I was responded to by the members hearsing ten things they like to do best. This proved quite amusing. Miss Portia F. Branche read a paper on ‘How Shall We Impress Grange Prin- ciples on Our New Members.” There followed a poem, “The Wood Box," read by John Lyman, and this was foi- lowed by an old-fashioned spelling match, the teams being captained by Woodbury O. Rogers and Mrs. Cha A. Hagber; Mr. Roger's team W the match. POULTRY ASSOCIATION WILL MEET IN GROTON. Seventh Annual Gathering to Be Held the Week Before Thanksgiving. This is the time of the vear that the poultry fanciers are getting their choice birds ready for tne show room 1d_especiaally those who live in the icinity of Connecticut as the seventh annual show of the Southern New Eng- land Poultry apsociation will be held he week before Thanksgiving. This ociatibn has a membership of 200 anc energetic members who have live dccided that this show will come up to the standard and probably surpass a number of the larger shows in number and quality ecimens that will be 1as been decided to hold the show in Odd Fellows’ hall in Groton, Novem. ber 22, 23, 24, 25, 1916. When the de- cision was reached to hold the show in Groton the merchants at onde do- nated fiftéen cups, and there will be several other cups that were given by the merchants and others, not only in New London, but elsewnere. Among the specials will be $50 in zold which will be given for the best bird in the show and $20 in gold for the best pen, also §10 for the best bird in each cla: Cups and other sneci i on all varities v variety that has 100 entries will hove the prize money doubled. At present indications point to a most successful show as entrfes are coming in very fast and it is expected that there will be at ieast 1,500 birds on Zisplay, and that tney will come from at least one-half of the states of the union. As a speclal feature thie management has secured the Storr: College Poultry Judging Team to hcl a contest on Friday afternoon, No- vember 24, and in all probability there will be a large attendance on hand to get a lot of first hana information. Door prizes consisting of turkeys and geese will bg given agay each day. The state meet of the American Wa. terfowl club will be held in conjunc- tion with the show and also Connecti- cut Breeders' Society cup on English Breeds, will be given outright at this show. Premium lists are now ready and they can be procured by applying to the secretary, Mr. H. W. _Schriver, Grgton, Conn., and as there will be six competent judges, everybody will be assured of fair treatment. H. W. Schriver of Groton is the sec- retary of the association. Dismissed Claim. The compensation case of Forrest L. Sherman of New London against Chas. E. Gates, also of New London, was dismissed in a finding handed down by Compensation Commissioner Dono- hue of Norwich Wednesday. It was claimed that Sherman was ruptured on July 13 while working for the re- spondent. At the hearing it was shown that Gates only had four men under his employ, one being his son and that he did not comz under the compensation law. Barbers Endorse Fitzgerald.

County Suffragists Greatly Encouraged by Reports at Meeting on Wednes- day. With a very encouraging attendance workers -for woman suffrage in New Londen county met at the Buckingham Memorial at 11 o'clock Wednesday | morning for an all-day session which when concluded proved quite satisfac- tory. Miss Ludington, chairman for New London county, presided. Reports of the work carried out during the past year were ziven, showing that about 50 meetings had been held in the county and that most of the meet- ings were adaressed by New London cointy workers, including Miss Lad- ington, Miss Daphne Selden, Mrs. F. H. S, ‘and Mrs. Willis A. Austin, pres- ident of the Norwich Bqual Franchise league. Plans for un active winter campaign were discussed in general. Miss Ludington and ®Miss Selden spoke of the work that has been done in the county and outlined plans for future activities. The number of leagues has more than doubled since last June, and with the addition of those now in process of formation the number will be trebled within a short time. Both Miss Ludington end Miss Selden said tha: the enthusiasm shown in the small towns is very great and the outlook is very encouraging. At noon luncheon was served by Mabrey, At the afternaon session Mrs. Ed- ward Porritt of Hartford, recording | secretary of the Connecticut Woman Suffrage association, spoke, sketching in brief the history and development of the movement and emphasized very strongly how much the women of to- day are indebted to the pioneer suf- fragists for the betterment of laws en- forced. Reports from Tolland county were given by Mrs. Welch; Windham county, Miss Rosamund Danielson, chairman of the Second congressional district commitiee; New London coun- ty, Miss Ludington. An encouraging | report given was, that hoth republizan and democratic candidates for con- gress, Richard P. Freeman and Daniel P. Dunn, were in favor of suffrage. The meeting adopted the following motions, which will be sent to all candidates for the office of senators: Whereas, The women of one-fourth of the states of the union are entitled to vote for president in November; and Whereas, The women of Australia, New Zealand, a large part of Canada, |and several fmportant Suropean coun- tries now vote upon equal terms with {men; and Whereas, the unenfranchised women of the United States are as intelligent, 1 abiding patriotic as any women in the world, be it Resolved, That we thank those mem- bers of congress from our state who have heretofore voted for the federal R upon all cardidates for the house of representatives and the United States senate to pledge their aid, if elected, by vote and influence, to secure the submission of a federal woman euf- frage amendment for ratification by the legislatures of the several states. ENTHUSIASM AT REPUBJLICAN RALLY (Continued from Page Five) when conditions are normal, with the setting of the sun, there is paid in wages to intelligent, industrious, law- abiding New England men more than $2,333,000 in wages. That this money finds its way into every avenue of trade and that the home market thus produced has revolutionzed the agri- cultural s well as the other business interests of New England. It is not only a matter of pride but one of great significance in_our busi- ness life that the mills of New Eng- land now turn. out annually products valued at $2,660,888,000. These figures fail to express, I fear, the marvelous fact that this small area, constituting only 2 per cent. of the territory of continental United States, produces 12 1-2 per cent. of all the manufac- tured goods of the entire natlon. Aside from the water powers employed, New England expends $50,000,000 annually for coal used in her industries, an ex- penditure which in eight years equals the cost of the Panama canal. Great Increass in Population. ‘With this growth in industries there has been a corresponding growth in our New England population, which is now nine-tenths as great as the entire population of Canada from ocean to ocean. What does this mean to the New England farmer? Where in our country is the preduct of an acre of land worth most to it sowner? Js it in the great and fertile west? No, it is where the farmer has a near- by market to the demands of which he can suit his products, The state in which the product of an acre brings is New Jersey, which is surrounded and filled with populows industrial com- munities. Rhode Isiand ranks next, then Massachusetts, and Connecticut follows. Vermont, I believe, ranks 18th, but even there the value of her farms and buildings has increased in the l#st 10 census years about 40 per cent. All this has come under republican administrations and under the appli- cation of th eprinciple of protection to Americans and American industries. I stand here tonight as a républican who has no apologies to make to New England. 1.voted _for the.

Instead of thou- sands of half-sick, anaemic-looking souls with pasty, muddy complexions we should see crowds of happy, healthy, rosy-cheeked people every- where. The reason is that the human system does not rid itself each day of all the waste which it accumulates un- der our present mode of living. For every ounce of food and drink taken into the system nearly an ounce of waste material must be carried out, else it ferments and forms ptomaine- like poisons which are absorbed into the blood. Just as necessary as it is to clean the ashes from the furnace each day, before the fire will burn bright and hot, so we must each morning clear the inside organs of the previous day’s accumulation of indigestible waste and body toxins. Men and women, whether sick or well, are ad- vised to drink each morning, before breakfast, a glass of real hot water with a teaspoonful of limestone phos- phate in it, as a harmless means of washing out of the stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels the indigestible material, waste, sour bile and toxins; thus cleansing, sweetening and puri- fying the entire alimentary canal be- fore putting more food into the stom- ach. Millions of people who had thelr turn at constipation, bilious attacks, acid stomach, nervous days and Sleep- less nights have become real cranks about the morning inside-bath. A quarter pound of limestone phosphate will not cost much at the drug store, but is sufficient to demonstrate to any- one its cleansing, sweetening and freshening effect upon the system. Aldrich bill and am proud of the fact. The clamor about high prices of living alarmed our republican friends in the farming sections of the west, and in their panic they voted with the dem- ocratic party on most of the schedules affecting New England industries. In considering the cotton and woolen schedules in the senate there were 122 roll calls on amendments offgred to reduce tariff rates. On these there were nine republicans, good men, but representing agricultural states, who voted from 47 to 102 times with the democrats. But the bill was saved and 1 do not hesitate to say that, judged from cvery angle of thought, it was the best tariff meas written = into the laws of States. Under it the natior years of eound, healthy There was not from necess try. The schedules were so scientifi- ally arranged that the highest rates were placed upon luxuries and the lowest upon necessities, and it not only brought prosperity, without rais- ing the cost of living, but it added to the revenues of the nation $50,000,- 000 annually. The dutiable rates upon imported goods was also lower than under any other law since.the Civil war. Did Not Endorse Democracy. Did the people endorse democracy in 1912? Not at all! Only a miserable misunderstanding among the republi- cans and a consequent division of their vote, permitted a minority administra- tion to take the helm of government and now for only the second time since the war between states, democracy sits enthroned with all the obstinacy and failure of perception shown by George III in dealing with the American col- onfes. Effect of Underweod Bill. We cannot forget our astonishment when all Europe hecame embroiled and it dawned upon our conscfousness that Germany was the only nation that had foreseen the coming strugsle and made full and complete preparation, for Ger- many's drive on Paris was only checked when it reached the perman- ent fortifications of that city and the two armies settled down to trench war- fare. Russia and England required two years for preparatron and such preparation had to be largely made in the United States. Orders were placed everywhere for every class of products demanded by abnormal conditions abroad. The whole manufacturing area of the United States became the work shop of Furope. I have In mind an establishment employing hundreds of hands in the productions of cream sep. arators, but the Underwood bill re- moved the protection before enjoyed, gave the American market to the man. ufacturers of Sweden, and the Vermont shops were compelled vo discontinue their business and in place of it, to take Russian orders for shells and are now working to fullest capacity. This is but an illustration of what is oc- curring in every state and almost ev- ery county in the land. But what will be our condition when the war ends, conditions at home and abrpad become normal, and the American working man is again compelled under demo- cratic policies to whet his wits against those’ of men who are paid less than one half what he demands. How marvelously our conditions have been quickened by the war and how dependent they are upon its continu- ance, is seen in the fact that in the last year we have exported 78 times as many explosives as the year next preceding the war. The value of such explosives exported has jumped from $6_to $467,000,000 annually. But conditions will be better under- stood by an examination of our ex- ports as a whole. If we group articles whose exportation has not been unduly affected by the demands of war, we find that their volume is not now as great as in 1918, before the war began. In 1913 such exports aggregated $745,- 000,000; in 1914 $648,000,000. The war began in August, 1914, with the result that in 1915 such exports decreased to $473,000,000. In 1916 they increased to $652,000,000 but even then were less than {n 1913 when peace prevailed. On the other hand the exportations caused by the war have increased by leaps and bounds and cover every va- riety of productit In 1913 this class of sales amounted to only $423. 000,000 and in 1914 only $346,000,000. The war began In August, 1914, and as a result the exportation of such ma- terials in 1915 increased to the enor- mous sum of §1,126,000,000 and in 1016 the volume of such exports were valu- 8 ed at $1,110,001.000, or $1,488,000,000 more than in 1913 Great Inore in Exports. In what way have these vast exports stimulated business in the TUnited States? - We aaturally think of purely ‘war muniiions, but our sales cover un- expected varicties of commodities, To illustrate it me say that between 1913, the lsst vear of peace, and the year 1916 awl exports of woolens jumped from 5 to 32 million of dollars in vnlue.

The ex- portation of wheat and breadstuffs has increased three fold and meats and dairy products in about the same proportion. 7 Is it any wonder that both agricul- ture and manufacturers are thriving under such conditions? But in spite of the hard facts to which I have been calling your atten- tion the democratic party claims this condition of. prosperity as a credit to itself and men are found sleeping in a fools paradise which m the dreams covers the future as well as the pr ent. If it be true that experience is a good school master surely we ought now to be wise. The statistics of the woolen trade shmws that 96 per cent. of the woolens worn in the United States are produced from our own factories. Bear in mind that New England pro- duces 60 per cent. of all the woolens produced in the United States and you will understand the distress which fol- lowed the closing of 80 per cent. of her mills and glving our market to European #atione. In spite of this ex- perfence the duty ‘on woolens under the Underwood bill is-only 35 per cent ad alorum and when this war end and conditions become normal, the pro- ducers of this class of goods in New England will have this conundrum to solve. If a duty of 50 on woolens closed 80 per cent. of our factories how many will be closed with the duty reduced to 35 per cent. as it is in the Underwood bill. But the time is comwmeg, and in the not far distant future, when the wars now iIn progress will cease; when twenty millions of war scarred vet- erans of the Furopean armies will re- turn to their homes and swell that v: aggregation of artizans who are con- tent or compelled to worx for Jess than one-half the amount demanded by A Hard Nut to Crack \ ‘When a cold hits you in the head or throat, it’s hard to get rid of it.
