Many of the towns of the state will elect, but in spite of the fact that there is no election here the importance of being at the town meeting tomight ought not to be.-over- looked. It is at this gathering of the towns- people that it is determingd what aetion will ba taken upon the budget for the running of the town amd the scheols dur- ing the coming ‘vear as presented by the selectmen and the town schoel boasd. There are the regular matters which of course must be provided for and there! are & number of matters outside of what are considered the necessary town and school expenses which have been favor- ably acted upen for a number of years and which in all propabllity will get cue consideration this year. During the year just emded the townm received the bemefit of a careful administration of its affairs. Efficieney and economy have been displayed in a manner that cannot fail to be appre- ciated. Because elected for two years the town has the assurance that the same congcientious oversight will be con- tinued during the ensuing tmwelve monthss. In the prasentation of the budget the town is shown what is needed and what is sought by petiticners. It thevefave rests with the people iIn town meeting o' give expression to what they desire and to say what the limit of expendi- tures shall be for 1920-21. This, as should be realized I8 mot a task that should be left to & few. It calls for a representative gatherimg of the paoople of the town, a thorough um- tanding of the needs and action in ord with the majority sentiment of largh a number as can be assembled. The amount that will have to be raised v taxation Will depend upon the action of the meeting, though the tax will not be laid patil next spring when it can be based upon the-nmext perfected grand. list of the town. | MAIL SERVICE. Not the favorable results that were anticipated in connection with the safe and speedy delivery of mail are being otbained from the transportation by fly- ing machines as recently instituted by th: post office department. Another fa- tality has been recorded in this ser- vice, making the third machine with the contents to be destroyed and it is be- lieved the fifth life to be. lost. Now it is reported, following an In- vestigation, that the trouble lies in the type of maghine adopted and used for this gervice. It is defective in certain| varticulars which encourage fire and explosions and seem to make it quite certain that those aboard as well as the mail being carried are in a death and fire trap, The loss of the mail that was being carried would seem to be @ matter of no small concern, but when it is realized that five lives have been lost because of the expenditure of a larger sum to ex- pedite a part of the mai] it is quickly apparent that a tremendous price has been paid for such mail deliveries as have gotten across the continent a few hours earlier, Apparently our airplane mail service s still in the very costly expxerimentl stage and while some mail may be moved faster there is a considerable quantity that will never reach its destination, causing such loss and confugion that it would have been far preferable to have had it take the slower but safer route that has been used in the past. Until the postal service of the cointry is brought up to the proper standard and it is possible for instance to get special delivery letters hetween Hart- ford and Nerwich inside of 27 hours, it cannot help being felt that an unwise usk of the postoffice department funds is being made when transcontipental air routes are established and nothin whatever done to better the handling mail matter in the good old fashioned way. RURAL DISTRICTS AND CITIES. New evidence of the need of giving increased attention to the production of the foodstuffs of the country is furnish- ed by the figures which-are presented in the last census. By this it is disclosed that more than half of the people of the country are in ecities of 10,000 population or more and that the growth there is seven and a half times greater than in the country districts. The census fig- ures were obtained of course at a time when readjustments following the war had not been completed. The manufac ‘turing centers have been the Mecca for thosp who were formerly found ia. the|™M°V% farming districts. Alluring wages have done the trick.

That he was not & United States semator at the time of his death ;:r!nly due to the fact that he. recognized the nee- ssity of giving eemsideration to his health when his term expired in 1813 after having been in the harness for his country and state for 16 years and for masy mote years a steady and oon- sistent worker for his party. No matter whether it was his ewn, the staté's, the nation’s, pr the party's business he was always glosely in touch with it. His heaith forsed him ta re- linqish much of his agtivity for the past few years, but it couldn’t abate his interest. Death removes a stalwart fig- ure in political life who W own far beyond the borders of his state' like- wise a man in whose line of business he had gone to the tep from the bottom rung-of the ladder. He was one of those who engaged in public service not for what he could get out of it but for what he could put into it. SIGNS QF BISTRESS. Just what the situation is within the democratic party is well disclosed by the fervemt appsals that are being made from one end of the country to the other for funds. The party is without money, a fact which indicates what lit- tle interest is baing taken m the party, Its policies and ite candidates this vear. It Governor Cox thought that he was going to fill his coffers by the baseless attack he made upon the efforts of the republicans to get sufficient funds to carry on their campaign, ard it eannot fail to be rocogmized that nafional pe- litical. campaigns call for the expendi- ture of considerable money, he has probably learned to the conmtrary long before this. The democratic party's lack of funds is not of course due to the fact that democrats haven't money, but it indi. cates that they have net been -~ parting with it for the purpose of financing the party campaign, 2nd that from indica- tions they do not intend to give up their ‘money - for a useless cause. Their very .attitude in this respect eonfirms the evi- dence that has been piling up fer many menths that the country wants to get rid of the administration policies that have been in force, that a change s wanted and that it is going to. be hrought about. President Wilson has been made to head a subscription list that is expected to .afford some financial relief and though he will prabably not get te the point c¢f making campaign addresses it| by seems probable that he wili take up the cudgel i behalf of the league of nations in order that Candidate Cox may not be permitted to get away from the faet, even.though he has declared ‘the presi- dent is not running for office,” that ke and the president are in full aceerd wp- on the fleague covenant. That the demoerats have reason te consider the campaign, financiglly as well as otherwise, in a serious condi- tion is even admitted by the democratic press. To others it has the appearance of a forlong hope. EDITORIAL NOTES.

Boil vig- orously; allow the mixturs to ecol and scrape off the impurities which colleet on the lower surface of the eake of fat. To remeve a slight burnt cake or other objectionable flavors, melt the fat, and thick slices of raw potatoes and heat gradually until it cease to bubble and the rotatoes have became brown. A small pinch of baking soda whiten the fat and helps to make it sweet. ‘To vemove the strong oder from mut- ton or chicken fat. heat fat very slow- ly in a double boiler with whoie milk preferably sour. TUse one-half cupful milk to each pound of fat. Srain the rendered fat through a cloth and when it is set lift fat from the mallk which Temains. FRYING FIRE Small thin fish, or large fish divided into slices or fillets, dry and floured before being put into the pan of boiling cla¥ified dripping. Shake the pan gently until het through: if you want the fish to loak very nice dip it in egg and smpinkie with bread crumbs hefore frying. Drain and dish on a hot napkin. Time required for this mode of cooking will vary aeeording to the size, quality and thickness of the fish. MOLASSES IN CAKE - Molagses ¢an be used in plaga of sugar in any eake mixture. If the molasses is dark the cake will be dark in coler, but the texture will be as good as when sugar is used. HEALTH ANDR BEAUTY Should white spots appear on the nails they might be rubbed on retiring with » mizture of turpentine.and myrrh, of equal parts, an application of olive oil bein grequired the next morning to re- move - it - Tt is well when using skin eream tc refrain from using it around the mouth. To discourage the growth of down om the upper lip, 2 preparation of one tea- spoonful of lemon juice, one of ammonia, and ene of peroxide of hydregen should be used. This must be shaken well an] used frequently. The one bit of advice that the weman of 30 ér over needs more than any- thing else is advice on keeping her figure youthful and trim. Thirty is the dang- er line for the feminine figure. If it is going to get fat it is most apt to do 56 then. And if it ign't, 30 is the age when it begins to loak “settied” and that is as fatal to the good lopks of the figure as fifty unnecessary pounds would . There are all sorts of dry shampeo methods. The least expepsive is to pour out a few hendfuls of plain esrn meal on a sheet of a piece of newspaper, and rub. this thoroughly through the hair. It leaves the hair dry, fairly elean, and as Jdeligh®lly flufty as ceuld be desir- od. Ancther method is to sprinkle tal- eum powder over the hair and brush it threugh theregghly, gefting ¥ all out if vpossible. Powplered orris ig delightful to use and it possesses the great advantage of not sticking to the sealp amd clog- ging the pores.

Be gereful of green vegetables. Try to have shert afternoor naps. Allow them 2 place’ to play and a few interesting and instruetive toys. At the age of five children should obey fairly well, eat without spilling food at table, help to dress and undress and at- tend to their play while mother does ber work.
