Actual Shortage is Given as the Pri- mary Cause. A scarcity in the supply of seeds, and a consequent increase in their prices over that of last year, may be a great factor in prce“nting the rais- ing of greater crops .ais season. The price of seeds is much higher than last year. The scarcity of seed potatoes is alarming, according to the dealtrs. The high prices which prevailed re- cently induced many of the farmers to sell all or part of their supply. The sudden popularity of suburban gardening also was said to have in- creased the difficulties of the seed merchant. The demand for zeeds in small amounts was said to nave been unprecedented this season. The effect has been to raise prices aiready high, because of a shortage in the supply, by increasing the demand. In explanation of the rise of seed prices, dealers declared that the pri- mary cause was an actual shortage. Instead of holding back to the usual proportion for seed in such crops as corn, beans, peas and potatoes, farmers were said to have been lured into sell- ing them by the high prices prevailing last winter. The embargoes placed upon the export of seeds by most Eu- ropean countries contributed to the shortage, i was said, but the main cause was the comparative failure of the crop in the United States. DISCUSSED CONSERVATION OF FOOD SUPPLY. the State Chamber Board Met Hartford Club. Conservation of the state food sup- ply and preliminary discussion of the spring campaign for home gardens claimed the attention of the first meet- ing of the new food supply board at the Hartford club Tuesday.

Governor Holcomb still maintains that there are men within the confin. of the state of Connecticut, secretly drilling with rifles, and that their drill- ing bodes no good to the common- wealth or the nation. He sald as much at a patriotic meeting of the University club of Hartford Tuesday night. “I'm a little shy about making speeches,” the governor began, with a chuckle. “I made one down at the Allyn House, and it seemed to bother some newspapers a great deal. But 1 meant every word I said in that speech; and since that time I have heard a great deal more that confirms my suspicions. - Colonel Burpee here can tell you the same thing. What I said then was absolutely true.” And Colonel Lucien F. Burpee, of the military emergency board, who had spoken previously in the same vein, nodded approbation, from his seat beside the governor. The governor made a plea for pa- triotism, for the casting away of par- tisanship. “Nobody gives a whoop now whether a man is a democrat or a republican,” he asserted. He went on to say that he hoped when the president made his call upon Connec- ticut for her portion of the 500,000 men needed, it would be by the draft. “Those that want to go will go an: " he declared “and those that don’t ought to be made to go. We want to separate the sheep from the goats; we want to know where every man stands.” He spoke in high terms of the use the military census woyuld be in enforcing the draft and urged a continuance of the Home Guard or- ganization, even aftei the immediate necessity for it had passed. Terming the president’s message “the greatest declaration of natloffal policy since the Civil war,” Colonel Burpee, amid much applause, reviewed the course of German propaganda dur- ing the past five years, declaring it to have been Germany's intent to strike at the United States from the west, Hopes Men {tbrough Russia, and to mulet her for the damages incurred in the war in Europe. He said there were papers on file at the war department in Wash- ington in ‘proof of this. As to those who drill in secret, he gave it as his opinion that they were not so much actuated by love of Ger- as they were by anarchistic ten- they want to do something “az’in the government” was the way he put it. He returned to the theme again, and pointed out that it was for the purpose of frustrating the aims of uch malicontents that the Home Guard was formed. He described briefly the zuard’s organization, and said it was the desire of the emergency board that every man unable to join the regular forces should enroll in it—for clerica? work_or otherwise—to be used as the hoard deemed best. He reported that the zuard had all the supplies it need- ed, and that they were coming in even faster than they could be handled. Robert P. Butler, of the military census committee, pointed with pride to the fact that, if a draft were c dered, by the aid of the census ‘Statis- tics, Connecticut could have the re- quisite number of men picked within three hours—whereas it would take any other commonwealth little short of three weeks.

SUFFRAGISTS IN COUNTY Total for the State is 37,101 as Re- - ported at Hearing. by the woman -~ suffrage committee on . tk amendment to an Voters and s an act PrOVIAing. that an an act ai :omcn may vote on flurmo;fimnt the maffufacture and sale of liquor. Representative Shaw of Redding made the opening address for the suffraget- tes and advocated favorable action on both bills. Representative Martin of Orange said he was opposed two years ago to submitting the right of women hall of the house, attracted hearing before the years she had been a resident of this|to vote on full suffrage, but he fa- vored the act to give women the right to vote on the liquor question, He be- lleved there were faddists in the wom- en suffrage ‘'movement on both side: but he believed there should be ear- nest unison on the liquor side of the question. Mr. Bowers, representative for Man- chester, strongly urged the favorable . réport on the act which relates to wo- I k men voting on the liquor license ques- When buying shoes Wouid be a dead ‘iesue.

Quality of Material Quality of Style Quality of Fit i THIS SHOE COMBINES THEM ALL Mr. Hazen of Portland said he would QUALITY be giad as a member of the house to the real standard of vote in favor of woman suffrage. This is nmot a %me to make money but a time to make sacrifice and abolish the curse of liquor. Representative Smith of Plainville spoke in favor of the bills under con- sideration. He said the mother’s in- fluence with the children is stronger than the father’s. It is the women Who teach the young idea how toff i shoot, and it is the woman that is the 2 2 foundation of the, universe, and the|| Value. This shoe is mage women ought to be given all voting privileges. He said the women would come into caucus and make it clean. He said the caucus abuses would be remedied. Mr. Smith asked if the la- dies present were as intelligent as the | bums about town who have the fran- chise. Representative Nelson of Hamden wished to be recorded as in favor of the bill and Mr. Wilcox of Stonington made like declaration, as did also half a dozen other members of the house, This closed the talk on behalf of the members of the house. Mrs. Hepburn announced that the Connecticut Woman Suffrage associa- tion favored the biil giving women the right to vote on the liquor license question and at municipal and presi- dential elections. She spoke at length and recited, as did all the other speak- ers, what had been heard before at hearings at previous sessions, and at tho present session when the hearing was before the judiciary committee. Mrs. Bennett of Hartford told the committee of the suffrage planks in both party platforms and suggested to the committee that it was almost time that it was demonstraed that these planksz mean somethinz. Dr. Valeria Parker urged the efforts of women along humanitarian lines as a strong argument for their being granted the franchise. In Australia and New Zealand, whers women vote, infant mortality is the lowest. This is a subject with which Connecticut in its present crisis, may well concern itself. Frederick E. Duffy, chairman of the Connecticut Grange legislative com- mittee, explained the position of the natfonal frange and the state grange as_unqualifiedly in favor of woman suffrage. He read a resolution adopt- ed at the state convention in Norwich in January, confirming his statement. Reminding _the committee of the pledges of the two parties, he declared that neither party would have dared to reject the suffrage plank, and ho said that the dav of reckoning is com- ing for men and parties unmindful of their party platform pledges. The county chairmen reported follows: Mrs. Daniel A. Markham opened the opposition, taking up the bill giving the vote to women in presidential and municipal elections. She cvoked a chorus of dissenting voices from the suffragists when she declared that she represented 96 per cent. of the women of the state, which proportion, she declared. does not_want the vote, Miss Reney of New Canaan under- the task of disclosing the “tric * by _which endorsements of various bodies have been obtained for their propaganda.
