With this idea in view, some of the local fruit project leaders of the farm bureau are making arrangements to hold meetings in co-operation’ with the fruit specialist and county agent on the 29th and 30th of December. On the afternoon of the 25th a fruit meeting bev held at Pachaug in the hall at 1.30 o'clock and that same eveninz, Dec. 29th, a meeting will be held at the Scotland road hall, Norwich Town, at 8 o'clock.

Gold has been pouring into this country in an almost -uninterrupted stream for three ye: , America now holding about 40 per cent. of the world’s visible sup- ply. e s francs today sold at 19.50 in| market. a premium of 20 points. TUn- like any other exchange of tihe so-called neutral countries of Europe, the Swiss rat also at a premium .n London and most continental countries. Local bankers who have watched the rise of Swiss bills say that it is mainly due to buying of that currency by Aus- t n and Germar financial and commer- cial interests, which seem to have lost all faith in their own depreciated monies, The obligations of American bankers and importerc to Switzerland are be- lieved to be very small, but the laws of supply afid demand are expected to foi- low their inexcrabie course in this in- stance.” Tt is possible, Lowever, that gold now held in London for shipment to this country may be diverted to Switzerland. DEBS REPRIMANDED FOR MAKING SPEECH WITHOUT PERMIT Washington, Dee. 27.—Freed by Presi- dent Harding from Atlanta feneral peni- tentiary, where he was serving a ten-year sentence for making speeches in violation of the war laws, Eugene V. Debs, social- ist leader, was reprimanded toright by union station police here for making a speech without a permit before leaving for his home in Terre Haute, Ind. Before boarding his train, Debs ad- dressed a crowd of several hundred per- sons in the station, including admirers who had come to say good-bye, express- Values Per Cent.

Debs’ speech was his firet platform ut- terance since leatitig prison. “I wish,” he said, “to do myself the justice to return my grateful thanks for e kindness shown me here.

Friends declared that an invitation from the sovist government to visit Rus- sia awaited Debs and that he probably ing his gratitude for his reception in Washington, and closing with a reitera- tlon of his opposition to war and belief would accept, and he himself indicated an intention to go abroad by announcing his intention to seek a vow from every man, jtor should not the doctor trust the woman and child in this country, or any country whin he might visit, to refuse to take up arms in warfgre. FRENCH INSTRUCTIONS ON SUBS REACH WASHINGTON Washington, Dec. (By the A. P.).— The instructions of the French govern- ment on the submarine question, reached at a meeting of the cabinet today, were received tonight by the French delega- tion to the Washintgon conference, and, while their nature was not announced, | it was said in responsible circles after M. Sarraut, head of the delezation, and Ad- miral De Bon ha conferréd with Secre- tary Hughes at the state department, that France would not accept the Amer: can suggestion for her to maintain the status quo in submersibles. French spokesmen declined to say whether the instructions authorized the dalegates to make any compromise on the original French request for a total sub- marine tonnage of at least 90,000 tons The French postti®a in this regard, it was added, woul be outlined in detail at to- morrow’s meeting of the naval commit- tee of the conference, It is unddrstood, however, that the French position is based In a general way on the non-acceptance of the exist- ing strength as it applies to what is re- sarded by them as striotly defensive craft. The French naval experts are de- scribed as holding that each country is entitled to say for itself haw many “de- fensive craft” are needed, taking into consideration the extent of coast line of both the homeland and colonial posses- sions. So far as submarines are con- cerned, their view appears to paraliel that of the Japanese in one respect—-that neither cares how many such craft the other has. —_——— If the patient has faith in the doc- patient?
