SHIPS TO Be EXAMINED

Government Determined to Make
More Rigid Inspections-British
Embassy Complains.

Ships which clear from American
ports are to be examined closely, to de-
termine that their manifests conform
to their cargoes. The government IS
determined to make even more rigid
than ever the precautions against vio-
lations Of neutrality.
| While such orders earlier in the prog
ress or war were issued to all col

have been issued on the subject, 1t Is

Andrew J. Peters, In charge Of Gus

! customs at New York and Boston to
check up the documents Of any vessel
/ applying for clearance, and to make
s.ny investigation that will satisfy

neutrality laws is being made. Assist
ant Secretary Peters was in New York

Jews OF IMPORTANCE

We have a very important an
nouncement to make today in that
we have arranged to redeem the
wrappers on GOLD MEDAL BUT
TER at one hundred votes for each
wrapper. The amount of butter
consumed in the average home
should at once indicate to our vot-
ers that no matter where the gro
Gerry purchase is made, the butter
purchase should be GOLD MEDAL.
This unsurpassed table necessity
is now on sale at many of your
stores.
Get your forces going after the
Butter Wrapper at once for it will
play a large part toward the sue
cessfuI end you aspire to. Present
to Deacon's Store for redemption.
This popular butter has doubled
in sales in Norwich due to the con-
test, and Putnam will not prove an
exception, for once Gold Medal is
in your home it will always be the
butter desired.

from the layman to the clergyman,
from the servant to the society

Now that the long list of candi-
dates is set forth in printers type,
the time for speedy and concerted
action is here. This is an affair
which if carried to a successful
issue, will require the exercise of
united purpose. You cannot simply
depend upon each individual to per-
form his part unless that individ-
ual has been approached PERSONAL
ly or by letter, indicating the de-
sire from executive heads for this
support. Leadership is essential
and this leadership must be aug
