with cranberry tarts. Sometimes the
tart shells are filed with plain sauce,
while pie crust is latticed across the
top. A cup OF seeded and chopped

1t requires from As minutes to an
hour to thoroughly make the tarts IN
this case.

LONDON, Nov. 30.-In response to
an inquiry concerning the authenticity
OF an interview published in English
and American newspapers which
credited German officer designated
as Gen. Won Frankenburg with the
statement that Germany would have
fed the people Of Belgium IL she had
not been anticipated by the kindheart-
ed action of the American people,
Brand Whitlock, American minister
to Belgium, today sent the following
telegram to the American Relief Com
mission: II am officially informed
by the German government that there
is no basis in fact for the statement
published in the American and Brit
ish press to the effect that General
Won Frankenburg made the alleged
statement.
There is indeed no General Won
Frenkenburg at Antwerp, but 1t seems
that a Captain Won Frenkenburg, staff
officer not authorized to speak, made
statements to a person claiming to be
q newspaper man, relating to condi-
lions N Germany. There was no dan
ger of starvation, he said, in Germany,
which needed no assistance in feeding
its population. His remarks. therefore,
were entirely misunderstood.
THE German government renewed
its official declaration that conditions
in Belgium are as represented, nda
views with great satisfaction the gem
erous efforts of American people to re-
lieve the starving population there.

According to the leading democratic politician in the city of New London, and perhaps in the state, there is no need to mention the name, Charles W. Constock is actually out for the nomination for governor on the democratic ticket. MT. Comstock and this local politician have not been in training in the same company of late, but years ago they were a united Mir Constock preached the subject to Mayor Bryan F. Mahan. reminded him of the good political work they had ac- compiished together, and suggested that he assist in getting the nomina- ton for governor for the gentleman from Montvilie and Norwich. MT. Comstock is deserving of party SUD- port and if he really wants the nomi- nation it should be handed out to him. He is one of the best known demo crats in the state. is known to some democrat in every city town village and hamlet in the state, personally known, and perhaps the action of the democratic convention nominating Mir. Comstock would meet with democratic approval.
 While MT. Ccmstock is big man it Is not believed that the party he rep resents IS large enough to elect him governor. The nomination would be satisfying to the republican party and it's safe bet that if the republicans were permitted to make the demo- would be the nominee. even if they would not work and vote for his elec- ton.

My case, with variations, is the case of the average meat producer from one end of the country to the other. While meat is high and scarce and con- sumers have to pay exhorbitant prices for 1t, the men who alone can produce the meat on the hoof are getting lit tie if any better prices than a score of years ago, and are making smaller profits.
 Therefore. they are going out of the business, here and there and every where. Therefore, they will continue to go out of the business until there is a change in cur distributing system, so that they can again secure a profit from their business, or, at least, days wages for their work

When announcement was made in public print in New London that Charles w. Comstock was candidate for governor on xae democratic ticket it was treated lightly and as a sort of joke on the legal gentleman who, as chairman of the state central commit tee and Q plain every day member for many years, was among the recognlz- ed leaders of the party. MT. Com stock was deposed as chairman of the committee a couple of years ago but that did not in the least lessen his ardor for the success of the party that he had helped to strengthen for many years. But few. if any. in this section really believe that he was even mak- ing gum shoe canvass for the nom ination- Smaller men than MT Comstock have filled the office of gov ernor of Connecticut and they are but few men that know more of state affairs. politically, and otherwise, than this same Ar. Comstock. and there are but very few. if any, who can give him any points on legisla- tive work, for what he does not know about the game of politics is not worth playing.

THE SCARCITY OF MEAT AND ITS CAUSE

Simply because it had got so they cost me more than they came to.
 I like sheep; but I can't afford to keep them as pets at continual eX- penSe.
 When I started my little flock, some twenty years ago, could get more for their wool than I can now. And l was paid regularly the same price per hun- dred for my spring lambs, on the hoof, that I was paid for the last batch sold, a year ago this spring. At that time the price of dressed lamb from the butchers block or cart to the con sumer was less than one-half what it was last spring. I had to pay almost double, per hundred, for the grain was compelled to buy to feed them, and much more than double for the hay, if any shortage of my own en- forced me to buy that
 1t isn't any part of our duty, as farmers, to raise stuff at a loss, in order that other folks may make money by handling it. Or in order to supply the market as a charity, efth- CT. I don't say that the butchers of my vicinity, who, twenty years ago paid six cents pound for live lamb and sold hind quarters at eighteen cents, are making more money now, when they offer me the same six cents a. pound for live lamb and ask thirty nV6 cents TOT n111Q QudTleTS. It may be that their expenses have increased in even greater ratio than mine. I'm not a. butcher and don't understand the butchers business. But I do under stand that there is a tremendous scarcity of lamb: that there isn't any thing like enough to go round: and yet that the market won't pay me, the lamb producer one penny more for raising a lamb than it paid me twenty years ago, when lambs were not scarce and consumers were paying only. about half present prices for the dressed meat. And it won't pay me as much now as then for the mother ewes wool At the same Ginne I have to pay more for what they consume, whether I pay 1t to the grain dealer for imported feeds or to the hired man for home grown fodder.

In truth the long end of the lever is in the hands of the consumers. It is they who are really suffering the most, because 1t is they who have to pay the high prices. We producers don't get them, which is bad enough, but not so unpleasant as having to pay them. How long the consumers will stand it is for them to say rather than for us.
 Whenever they get ready to clean out the roads between them and us, and give us the chance to make any sort Of profit by serving them, we'ii meet them halfway and little bet ter,

Whiie every citizen at the meeting realized that the building should be completed without delay and for that reason favored the required appro- priation, some of them attacked the methods adopted in the construction of the building and the fast and loose play with the contractor who was awarded the original contract without bond and fell into all the additional work and without competition.
 Ex-Alderman Thomas w. Casey at tackled themethods of the committee in the plainest terms and stated in stances to show not only mistakes but the grossest of misInanagement, giving the names of parties who serv- ed their private ends at the expense of the city. He accused the contractor of incompetency and showed where dimension stones were taken out in excavation and used in another build ing by a contractor who was super intending the excavation for the mu- nicipal building. He even intiulated erly constructed. MT. Casey Is a granite manufacturer and contractor and could talk shop in a way that made it plain to even those who could not tell the difference between a di mension stone and a piece of rip rap.
 As Alderman, Mir. Casey was the right bower of Mayor Armstrong, un- der whose administration the n1unici- pal project originated and would have been carried to successful issue in keeping withthe Armstrong busi- ness administration, but for the oppo- sition of those who are now head neck and heels in the present muni- cipal building construction.
