Republican electors of the town of Norwich should remember ihal the caucus is to be held tenight for nominatien of the town efficers for the eleciion in October. For the past four years now the management of the affairs rough the sel 2d= of repubiican officers and they bave made is one which own endorsement. It will, with- E doubt, command the approval of a decisive vote gt the poils, but it is the part of the caucus tonight te place on the ticket the names of these who will insure and cemntinue a business- iike administration of the town affairs. For that reason the republican eclec- tors should pxercise their privilege of president, and that Attorney General !showing that the government 1 ja imonth gress revenues fell off by $15.- {nues of $35,000,000.

In a recently printed table road wages it was shown that rage increase in the wages of railroad shopmen simce 1815 had been 100 per cent.. while the cost of lizing had in- creased aboyt 89 per eent. ORe vear ago these men reccived am increase of $250.000 009, and ROy, if they aceept the president’s recent effer, they will get £45.000.008 additional. Also these men work eight instead of ien hours, and this amounts to a reductien of 20 per cent. in werking time with 100 per cent. increase in pay. The output an hour has shrupk so that accerding tn these auoted figures, less is pre- duced for $2 than ysed to be produced for 80 cents, 80 cemts being the cest of work four years age for which 32 is now paid. The total pay roll is mew $809,000,000 distributed among 465.000 men, the average individual wage being §1.722. Gang foremen get $2,461. an increase of 111 per cent.; from this the wagzes run down to $1263 for helpers Neow they are te receive another increase Taking into aceount the decreased output the laber cost has mere thap doubled .nder government operation.

LIBERTY BONDS AR HMETIC. Before Christmas dayvs arrive the people of the United States will re- ceive in interest on liberty bonds $458,000.069. They bought the bends in a it wi spirit an of patriotism and now find investment, as weil as a debt ere ir own citi own the bemds, and now, with an able feeling, cut the coupons. citizens bought bonds “until it often making sacrifices and ex- & unwonted economy.

WHY NOT A TRUCE? Endorsement and favorable com- ment UpoR a suggestion made hy a cemmittee of the Federation of Labor ew York that there should be a x menths’ truce in the industrial worid in order te Increase production lower prices and give labor and cap- ital a chance to talk things over has been made in ail parts of the country.| The advice evidently was looked upen as wise by all persons endowed with ordinary common semse. That the mere truculent labor leaders prompt- Iy repudiated this repert by their comv‘ mittee on the high cost of living isij not an assurance that they prepese to be guided by commen sense. And now Attorney General has eome out in a declaration indors- ing the six monthg' truce idea, amd has breught it home to every eme by declaring that “if a six months' truee be assured the cest of living will fall as surely as the night falls at the clese of day.” In view of his atti- tude, it would certainly be a fea- ther in the administration's cap if At- torney General Palmer, backed up by ! the president. ceuld persuade Secre tary of Labor Wilson that now is the time to bring inte play all those per- suasive influences which the sceretary is credited in believing in and the employment of whieh in any critical instance will go further to justify the existence of his department than all the tons of laber statistics and litera- ture that the mest assiduous of the bureaucrats in,the departmen: ecan turn out. 1t is a eondition, mot a theory, that sanfronts Seeretary Wilson and the Palmer | we will have nearly 400.600,000 bush- traffic and thus decreasing revenues; and the second is whether railroad wages are not already so high as to make altogether icle any presemt dis- cussion of Low te divide surplus earn- ings as between labor, capital and the public. The cost of government operation of the roads has more than doubled, and that cost is borme by the public. The people may well be consulted before there is any further raising of wages. Even as it is now the reads wiil be nanded back to their ewners with an enormous defiicit to be made up eut of taxes taken from the people. For this dazzling light on the results of government operation, Americans should be grateful. A YEAR OF BOUNTY. With the exception of corn, cereal crops are “made” for the current year and we can take comiort in the showing that the country has had an- other vear of bountiful vield. This assurance Is given by the Sep- tember estimates from the crop re- porting bureau which are as nearly accurate as any we are likely to have. Whatever changes there are in the es- timates will be the result of correc- tigns rather than any material differ- ence in erop copditions. Corn is rap- idly maturing and will be out of dan- ger in a little while. The total of wheat is set at 923,000,- 000 bushels, compared with a total of 918.920.600 hushels for the final esti- mate eof 1915. The vield of = winter wheat is materiaily above that of last vear, byt the falling off in spring wheat has cut dewn the tetal to a slight advance. As it stands, figured on the basis of the precomsumptien, els for export, a tremendous surplus- age in ordinary times, but not so very great in faece of the Buropean de- mand. Tt will furnish, though. more than three bushels apiece for cach of the 100,008.060 peeple who will not be cared for out of Hurepe's crop. accord- ing io the estimates of Wheat Director Barnes. This ought to do away with dread of gemeral famine. ‘orn will yield at present outloek 2.558,000.000 bushels, as againet 2,749.- 185,000 last year, an imcrease of mere than 100,000,080 bushels. The vieid of oats does mot malke o good a showing, having fallen from 1.595.297.060 to 1.- 5,800.000. We will bave siightly less barley, but more rye: fewer white and more sweet Dotatees: not 56 many | barrels of ‘“commerecial’ apples, but 10.000.686 bushels mare of peaches: 13,060,000 peunds mare of tebacco, and so on through the list. While ether industries have been more or less up- set through the first seasen after the war, the farmer has beem strictly on| 1e job. EDITORIAL NOTES.

Living things are constantiy throw- ing off materials which, unless remov- ed, wili act as ppisons. Crops must be rotated. because the coil ecenditions preduced by any ome crop prevenis the development of the same kind in immediate succession. The same thing is grue of the human body. It is constartly throwing off, through the skin and lungs, materials which must be removed in order that the body may maintain its viger and heaith. The quality of air we breathe and that envelops our bodies deter- mines in large measure our physical, intellactual and emotional conditions and activities. The best air for the body is that which is cool, dry and kept constantly In motion. When sleeping. the air should kept in_circulation as r.uch as pos- sible, although one should not sleep in a 'drdft. Fatigue is a poison which is thrown off by sleep and the sicen. to de what is required of it, should be quiet and restful. be CANNING KINKS. €an wreducts as soon as possible af- ter gathering.

They quickly as possible. Hot jars placed on cold metal may break. Best to use a board. Avoid draughts on hot jars. When cold store food in a cool place. If storeroom is not dark wrap jars in paper. FOR THE INVALID. A chair for an invalid or an elderly person may be made very convenient by placing a drawer beneail the seat, arranging it to pull out at the side. It Can be provided with a lock if desired. The drawers can be readily manipui- ated by any ome pceupying the chair and makes the infirm feel fairly in- dependent, as many useful articles and treasures may be kept there, and he or ghe will not have to ask for every little thing he wants. DIGTATES OF FASHION. Bell-shaped overskirts are the latest. Inch-wide metal belts are being shown Stockings usually mateh the dresses. Weol serge and heavy linen are combined White felt hats are wern for yacht- ing Leather buttens are tweed suits. Corsets show a tendency to a high- bust argette with chenille. Hip fulness is = feature of all sheer froeks. Ameng metal fabrics silver ferred te gold. Black satin gowns are embroidered in shiny jet. Cotten met dyed makes a pretty af- ternoen froek There is gome decrease in the size of handbags. Being weil dressed depends not se much upen the money spent as upon the ahility of the wearer to seleet ap- propriate designs, materials and colors that are suited to individual needs. Soft cashmere woal is being used for English sweater ceats. A pale gray tussah suit is lined with very dark biue chiffon. For the informal danee a black taf- feta froek is very popular. The bird of paradise is seen on many of the new big hats. LAUNDRY HINTS. Even if you have no soap shaker you can make use of the small bits of soap, When you have a quantity enhand put them into a saucepan with just suffi- cient hat water to dissolve them and set on back er range. When they beceme soft stir the mixture to a smeoth paste and turn it out into a eup or dish. When cold yeu can remove it in the form of a cake of soap that will again do serviee.

Many of the methods in use ir- ritate the skin and in some cases they produce little ulcers. Plucking the hairs out one by one perserveringly is| as good a way as any for disposing of them. but previously the skin should bave heen softened by some teilet emuision. FOR FTHE €OOK. Add a littie lemon peel and juice to prunes when cooking If a piece of paper placed on the oven shelf turns a light brown, the oven is just right for pastry. Sections of bapanas rolled in chop- ped peanuts can be served on lettuce with a French dressing. Charcoal powder is excellent polishing steel kaives. The best dressing for most vegeta- bles is simple butter. White sauges are apt to ruin the flavor. Mince left-over chicken, heat in the gravy and pour piping hot over tiny baking powder biscuits. Small pastry shelis can he filled with huckleberry jam and served as a des- sert with coffee. Cucumbers make a delicious sand- wich. Fried tomatoes and baked potatoes for are excellent for a breakfast which neced not be hurried. Use plenty of soft paper to clean frying pans while they are stifl hot The paper absorbs every particle of grease. It may subsequently be used for lighting the fire. To finish cleans- ing tiae pa £t ar ap powder into them; rub it about w the sink brush CONCERNING WOMEN. Queen Victoria of Spain is an hon- orary colonel of Spanish cavalry. Young girls in Abyssinia are never allowed to dance with men. Female farm laborers in Japan re- ceive an average of 15 cents a day for twelve hours work. Japan is said to spend less for edu- cation than any ceuntry in the world Teachers there receive om an avesage a trific over §9 per month. Miss Grace Eilison, founder and di- rectress of French Flag Nursing Corps. is now in the United States pn a mi on from the Minister of War to study the nursing system of this country. One of the greatest handicaps to the progress of the women's mave- ment in Japan is an iquated law which prohibits the presence of wom- en at : gathering of a palitical nature. RECIPES.
