FOOD PRICES HAVE ,
 TAKEN ANOTHER JUMP.
Baker Says There is No Profit in the
 Five Cent Loaf Today.

The warning European nations are not the only ones in which the prices of food are practicing aviation these days bread, cake and other food pro- ducts, have begun to soar in this city and it is announced that the general retail price of milk will be ten cents a quart in few days In the case of the staff of live, five and ten cent prives continue but the weight is sub. stantial1y reduced.
 Said a leading bakere here this morn ing: "A year ago flour was $5.50 to S6 a barrell; it is now $8.50 to $9.50. There is absolutely no profit in a five cent loaf these days and if the high price of flour continues, I shall aban- don making the nickel loaves alto gether." His statement was echoed at other establishments.
 A well known milkman observed "I understand the dealers are to unite in raising the price to ten cents. It is no weight and nine cents. For two years I have been making practically no profit. Cows are more than twice as high, feed costs twice as much and so does help, the latter being almost impossible to get at any price,, The only day the milkman can break any where near even is to get ten cents a a quart ''-New London Day.

STATE TOWNS WILL
 VOTE ON LICENSE
Dry and Wet Advocates in 48 Towns
 Will Line Up in Opposition.

Dry and wet advocates will line up in opposition in about the usual num- Der of towns at the elections on Mon day, the figure generally being near
 the half- century mark. It is believed at the office of the secretary of the state that the reports of all the towns which will vote on the question of license have been received. Forty eight towns have signif1ed their inten- ton of voting on the question. Thirty license towns have reported that they will not take up the issue this year and 51 no-license are on the same list. Two years ago 55 towns voted on i- cense and last year this question came | up in 50 of the towns of the state. It l is considered probable that the few l towns that have not reported will not vote on the license issue. Nineteen towns will not take part in the elec- l tion this year.
 Under the laws of the state 10 per cent of the voters of teh towns wish l ing to bring up the license question
 must sign a petition and put it in the
 hands of their town clerks. who. in
 turn, must notify the secretary of the l state. Ballots are then furnished. l Separate ballots and separate boxes are used to decide the question of li- cense. The returns have been slow 1 this year and the pressure of business
 on Secretary Charles D. Burnes and his staff has increased steadily. Re- 1 DOrLS IrOIn all LOWIlS lO lche pdrI III | the small town" election this year
 must be made not later. than IS days before balfoting takes place. So it is
 taken for granted that the towns which have not reported will not vote 1 on the license question. The elections will take place in October.
 Thirty three license towns which will vote on the question of license
 this year. with the number of voters
 in each town not using voting ma
 chimes, include the following: Bran
 ford. End district 2O6. Coventry 425
 Ellington 502. Killingly 139. Plainfield LILA. Stafford 970, Sterling 308. Wind- | ham 2,569.
 Fifteen no license towns, which will
 vote on the question of license with the number of voters in each town moi
 using voting machines include Gris- l wold 75O, Harwinton 325, Sprag que 450
 License towns which will not vote on the questions of license this year include: Enfield, and New London. No license towns which will not vote
