LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
MT. MiIIer's Confirmed Opinion.

Mir Editor: The intense and un- ceaSing interest of the liquor interest in their domestic politics is in sharp contrast, apparently, to the languid and intermittent interest of many of our good people whose love of disin- clination is mistaken for neighborly love- and that's where the liquor in terests many times get just what they want.
 The old man, so far as it relates to himself, has never encouraged the li- cense of what he considered by his vote would make him guilty of the same of fense that condemns the average 1i- censed dealer. In deference to the opinion of others, however, my judg- ment has sometimes been suspended. for while, and open for conviction. But time, thought and consideration only strengthen my original conyic- ton. More particularly as regards Jewett City, where the law has been wilfully and constantly violated too many specific times to be given in detail at this writing.
 As yours truly understands it, one of the principal features of the e1ec- tion on Monday next will be to de- termine by ballot whether or not old Griswold will retain her fair name and stand hitched for no-license an- ether year or will allow the barrel and keg rolling association to roll over all moral restraint, naming their own un-. dertaker for all corpse preparations re- sulting from incidental deaths. 1t is alleged that these men who have defied the law at all times, license or mo- license, Sundays and weekdays, times without number, have grown tired of being followed up so close by state and local ferrets to the extent of a cut on profit, so that they cannot, as formerly, clear AZ cents on a 50 cent sale. have grown so warm on fusion with few of the Lords deciduous that even a few of the fuses in the telephone plant were melted.
 There has been some criticism re- garding the state ferret system which certainly speaks well for the perform ,ance of duty by the states agents, if it shows nothing else. and it cannot be said that a state that permits wrong doing within it's borders is any less guilty than the wrongdoers themselves.
 There has been much desultory talk along the curpstones of late to the eff feet that GrisWold is in the doubtful column as regards the license question. But the old man believes it is but talk and much of it whisl<ey talk at that and further is dead sure that their secret conclaves are not opened with prayers. The old man can best be- lieve that the majority of the voters of fair old GrisWold are a loyal royal lot, representing the principles they deem best for themselves and for their neighbors, best for home and state. But if to the contrary. let it be dis tinctly understood that the old man never retreats.
 And let the voters line up with dodgers and fusionst, then organize a town historical society. for fear some of Griswold's precious history will get away.

HOW A PARCELS POST WORKS,

While the opponents of parcels post in this country are telling the people how injurious to business it may be. it is agreed ble to read how useful a parcels post is in countries where it is in operation.
 In France, produce and flowers are distributed by mail, and business has been greatly increa sed thereby and prices reduced. Agricultural parcels weighing as much as twenty pounds are allowed At the current crisis 1t has arranged with the railroads to increase the limit to eighty pounds for perishable products. The effect of this to reduce the charges between pro- ducer and ultimate consumer is obvi- ous. For many articles distributed by the agricultural parcels post regu- lation package is required, as mani festly would be necessary.
 How the parcels post has advanced the cut-flower trade is shown by the fact that packed in split cane buckets cut flowers from southern France are distributed daily by post even as far as St Petersburg or Vienna. By steamer from Calais they are rushed to the markets of London and Man chester Every night, during the win ter months, at least, the 'Rapide des F'leurs' Cut-Flower Limited Ex7 press-leaves Toulon. The facilities afforded the growers of southern France for marketing their peculiarly perishable product have been termed unique in the transportation world.
 As convenience for the people, a parcels post is as important as the rural free delivery which cannot be discontinued

PREPARING FOR A GREAT cELE.
 BRATION.

The Lutterans of the country are king preparations, as are the Lu- therans of other countries, to cele- brate the 400th anniversary of the birth of Martin Luther in 191T.
 A first step toward the celebration in 1917 has been taken by the council committee representing the second largest single body, in an effort to raise an endowment fund of s2,000.OO0. the income to be employed for mis- sions and other advance work at home and abroad. It will be adopted by the council. Other Lutheran bodies are considering money plans as part of the celebration of the anniversary, and from now on will come several am nouncements of them.
 The I.utherans of the United States give to missions about 100000, and this sum will be maintained. doubtless increased, while the anniversary en- dowments are being raised. The coun- cil. just announcing it's 1917 plan; has nearly 100000 commVnicants. The synod, the oldest of the general or ganizations. has 250,000, and there are nearly 600.00O in independent synods largely foreign speaking. The largest single body is the synodical conference with 625.000, still strongly German in it's life and language.

OCCUPANCY OF FOUR ISLANDS.

Uncle Sam has decided to control the islands at the west end of the Panama canal and the navy in the name of the government has taken possession of Perico, Flamenco Naos and Culehra at the western entrance to the Panama canal: and now Com mander Moffett of the navy has taken possession of fifth small tract in the Pacific Bishop rock, which the charts show as rising from the ocean one hundred and ten miles from the en- trance of San Diego harbor and south of the Mexican boundary line.
 With reference to this Gibraltar of the Pacific coast, the Providence Jour nal says:
 Whether Mexico will feel called up- on to protest against our technical occupancy of this small island, which is inhabited by seals and sea-lions only. remains to be seen. But it is said that it has never been claime& as Mexican territory, so that our title to it appears valid Being considerably south of the Santa Barbara islands, it may be useful as a stopping place on the way to Panama. though this will largely depend on the presence or ab- sence of q convenient roadstead or harbor within it's rocky headlands. A fuller description of Bishop rock will be awaited with interest,"

CRUSADE AGAINST POISONOUS
 MUSHROOMS

The great number of dea ths which have resulted from the gathering of poisonous mushrooms of late leaves no doubt such crusade is needed: and as a means of more thoroughly enlightening the people with regard te these nutritious fungi instructions have been sent the Boy Scouts of America. as a means of spreading a true knowledge of these products. They are instructed how to distinguish between the poisonous and non-poisonous weeds, to know the dif- ference between mushrooms that are edible and those which are poisonous, and 10 destroy toadstools. The value f this education work. which is to be darried on by scout masters who have charge Of the boys. is apparent when it is considered how many persons every year are killed simply through their lack of knowledge of poisonous mushrooms and weeds. It is apparent also how great a help the hundreds of thousan nds of Boy Scouts who ac- quire this knowledge can be to the country at large
 The manual with which the Bow Scouts are provided gives them de- niled information about mushrooms. explains the more common edible varieties and teaches them how to tell whether a mushroom is safe to eat
 Mushrooms understood are a most wholesome and nutritious food plant. ind this Is indeed a good and useful work

THE BULLETINS DAILY STORY
FOR TWO CENTS

until we got it pried back gain. Many a pair of suspenders I ruined lifting that old locomotive back on to the rails, and what reward do I get? When I ask for ticket to Blankville a sore eyed agent tries to hold me up for 2 centS.''
 Give some of the rest of us a chance to get our tickets" said the next man behind T believe the trains coming now"
 Let her come" exclaimed the red nosed man. Let her come and be hanged. 1 don't move out of my tracks urtil this young whipper snapper hands me a ticket to Blankvil1e at tion agent in the United States can hold me up for , cents. I don't care any more about 2 cents than the rest of the boys but there's principle in this thing. and men of my stamp bleed and die for principle. It was my grandfather who struck for his a1tars and his fires and inspired the poet.
 Why, there wouldn't have been any railway here if it hadn't been for me. The original promoters couldn't get charter and they came to me and groveled around on their knees beg gng me to use my influence in their behalf and I went to> the capital and pulled the wires so Successfully that the road building began right away. And what is my reward? splay- footed agent tres to I0ucn me TOT Z cents when I demand a ticket to Blankville.''
 ''Oh. jiminy blitzenl" cried the man behind. I'll pay the extra , cents for you. Hurry and get your ticket"
 T don't want your 2 cents." replied the red nosed man. T have cents of my own. and would just as soon pay them over as not but for the principle involved.

Give me a ticket to Blankville, ; said the red nosed man at the ticket window, and be mighty careful of tour conduct l see by the morning g paper that the general manager of this bargain counter railway has handed Gown ukase ordering all employees to be civil to patrons or lose their heads. It's about time, for there are more alecky agents on this line than you could count in thousand years. I'm glad to see that the general manager has come out of his trance at last. The next time 1 get any sass from q ticket agent I'll report him so quick his hat will fall off. Here's your dollar
 The fare to Blanltville Is s102," said the agent in a monotonous voice
 Its nothing of the kind, doggone you" retorted the red nosed man. T bought tickets to Blankville before you were born. You're trying to get rake-off of ? cents. that's what's the matter with you. Maybe l won't re- port you to the general manager: Maybe he won't put the l>ibosh on you by wire, This old road has been in the hands of receivers three or four times, and will be in their hands again, just because skates like you are hold ing up the company every chance they get. Now. you get busy and hand me my ticket Don't you see there are half a dozen people waiting their turn behind me?''

 You're going to spring that chest nut again. are you? You must be aching to lose your job. I've travelled on this road ever since they began to run the first train. They had an old sheet iron locomotive and they fed cordwood into it. as there was no coal around here ill those days. Every once in a while the train would stop and the passengers had to get out and gather up chips and tear down fences until there was enough fuel to reach the next town. Now and then the To- ccrnotive would jump the track and we'd all have to get out and sweat around with crowbars and fence rails

The Otis Library.

MT. Editor: The Otis library is ask ing the town for the usual apprepria- ton of s4,500. What does the town receive for the money?
 It has the use of property valued at about $S5.o00 contributed solely by pri- vate individuals, and a collection of books, slowly increasing, and now numbering about forty thousand vol umes. for which the town has not paid one dollar. It has also the use of a comfortable, well lighted reading room, open daily. and supplied with maga . zines, newspapers. and easily accessible books of reference, much resorted to, especially in the afternoons, by school children in preparing their lessons.
 An appropriation of s4.500 does not suffice to pay current expenses. Should that amount be withheld or diminished q the library must necessarily cease to be free library. It would be com pelled to close it's doors to all who are unable or unwilling to pay an annual subscription. thus depriving hundreds of readers of the privileges they now enjoy.
 Is there another town that possesses such a library at such small cost Is it not time for Norwich to pursue more liberal policy and make the lf- hrary an institution to be proud of?
