BRITAIN SEEKS
 BIG SUPPLY OF
 DRUGS IN U. s.
Drugs Formerly Taken From Germany Will Be Used For
 England's Army.

England has given to a New York firm, an order for $100,0o0 worth or drugs. Great secrecy accompanies the | order. sFThe company has been 1n- structed to deliver the drugs to one of theN New York docks, with int1ma- tions that it is to be loaded upon a
 British ship, and that it's destination will be Archangle, in the North Sea, north of Scotland.
 Great significance is placed in the fact, that more than two thirds of this order is composed of iodine. This drug is used in the treatment of the wounded and 1t is thought that the
 drugs are to be shipped to the front,
 for use among the British injured The
 drugs constituting the remainder of shipped to the front, as nearly all cont posing the order are especially good in
 treating the injured.
 An interesting point in the present
 shipment, is that the majority of drugs being purchased by Great Brit ain, were purchased, previous to the present war, from Germany.
 Just when this shipment is to be transported to the front IS not known,
 as the purchasers of the drugs wish it
 to remain secret. While obviously the shipment is bound for Archangle,
 considerable doubt is expressed by
 experts that such will be the case
 Many believe that Instead of Arch angle, the drugs will be shipped to the Continent, where thousands of wound ed allies are lying.
 A representative of this drug firm, speaking to a representative of The
 Farmer today stated, Drugs are in
 great demand by the warning nations of Europe. There is at present scare ity of them because Germany has closed her markets to the wor1d.N Ger many for many years past has taken the lead in the manufactures of drugs, and as a. result, the Allies must depend upon the United States to furnish then.'' s4
 t.The majority of drugs that have
 from German manufacturers previous to the war. Since the outbreak, rep resen tatives of the great powers of
 Europe have visited every drug house in the country, with the sole purpose of purchasing drugs for use at at the
 front Many were caught with but a
 small supply, and as 9 result firms
 who had large supplies, find that they are in great demand"
 While drugs will undoubtedly in crease in price in this country as the war progresses, we do not anticiptae a shortage in any. While already the
 price of many drugs, which we receive
 from Europe has gone up, should the
 war continue these prices will more 1 than double. We hope to have the channels of commerce open, so that we can procure many of the raw ma
 teria1s that originato in South 5Alneri-
 ca. If this were possible, the price of
 drugs would be lowered Immediately.
 Nearly every drug manufactures in the
 country is operating at full time,Oand
 in some cases the product Is predes- tined for the European markets We
 hope that the price will not increase,
 but with the continuation of the war, some of the scarcer drugs will, become
 so high as to become almost prohib- itve".

OUTLOOK FOR B.H.S.
 FOOTBALL GLOOMY
Athletic Association Needs Re- viving If the School Is To Develop Any Athletes.

Since the resumption of studies at the local high school Tuesday, much comment has been rife among the stu dents regarding the possibilities of the school being represented upon the gridiron this season. As the sport was dealt knockout blow last season when dropped by the Athletic associa- ton, it is improbable that a team will be organized.
 There are eight members of the de- funct team of last year still in school but only a few of them have asserted their willingness to don the spangles and form a nucleus about which a new. eleven could be built. It is under stood that the Athletic Association will support a team if enough fellows in terested signify their intention of sticking out the whole season. The members of the present sophomore class who composed the freshman team last season, claim that they will have a team in the field4in case the association is not successful in organ izing one.
 Many of the boys are interested in soccer football and as many of the prep and high schools about the state have teams of this sort. it is likely that the local school might try the English game. Stamford Prep" has dropped rugby in favor of. soccer be- cause of the number of injuries sus- tained by the players in the former game. The experiment may be tried and although it-may not be much of a success the first season the game may interest a large number of students and serve to bring back the lost pres tige.
 The matter of having either one of these teams is squarely up to the fe1- lows and unless more interest is evil denced, Bridgeport High school ,ath- letics will sink to oblivion among the athletic annals of the state. Throw out the life line boys and rescue your future Alma Mater from the, ignorni- nious disgrace that has been heaped upon many schools, that have follow ed the same course as you are now trodding. 39

BEARING HEAVY
 RESPONSIBHTTY.


 The new Pope, Benedict xv., was overcome with emotion on learning of the enormous responsibility placed on him. His first thought was that the burden was entirely beyond his strength.
 Smaller men often attain elevation through personal and political pull, and are content to go through the mo- tions of their office in a routine way. It does not. take high ability to per- form the duties Of a. high position in this manner.
 It Is a sign of power, when a man like the new Pope feels the crushing weight of his newt duties. The in- telligence able to perform reatatasks also sees the weight of the difffcul- ties and obstacles in the way, and hesita1es, where a smaller man would go on sereneIy unconscious.
 Candidates for places of high au- thority may have great intelligence or great executive force. But some where there is a. weakness of preju- dice or ill-judgment that would make them forever unfit for power. The man of all around great ability, who can plan for the future, think with in telHgence, and act with fairness and common sense. amid the fierce con ffcts Of state and church, is one among 8 million.
