 The meeting was called to order shortly after o'clock by the state
 chairman, Mrs. w. D. Ascough, of Hartford, who introduced as the first speaker Miss Annie G. Porritt of Hart
 ford.
 The thing we want to talk to you about is very distinctly politics, said
 Miss Porr4tt. The first thing I want to impress upon you is the immediate nearness of the vote. We have but four months to work, and we urge the
 greatest amount of practical work con- centrated in those four months. We hope to get woman suffrage through the Susan B. Anthony amend
 ment. The voting women of the west
 have taken up the amendment and all that is asked is help Of the eastern states to get it passed. The western women are. getting their forces to- gether and are making congress feel | that they are united in this movement. We ask you to work strenuously for the next four months in the effort to get the amendment passed, said Miss Porritt in closing.
 Miss Doris Stevens.
 As the second speaker, Miss Ascough ! introduced Miss Doris Stevens of New York, We welcome most heartily the | fact that we can unify the women in one nnal effort, said Miss Stevens in
 her opening words. When you join the Congressional Union, said Miss Stew ems, you join an organization that knows it can get the federal amend ment passed. 1t is up to the women | from now on until June to get action
 from congress and, to get action from | tho national political parties in poiit- ! ical assembly. What we want you to do most is to help the organization that ia made up of all the clements of | the suffrage question.
 | After the close of her address Miss Stevens invited questions from the au- | dience. Several were asked and satis- | faetoFiiy answered.

sERv-Us MINcE MEAT


 Package condensed mince meat is
 made up today of the best quality of
 dried fruit and other items which can
 be found, all of which are found in
 the United States with the exception
 of spices and entrants. The study ot
 packing condensed mince meat has ex-
 tended over a period of 100 years and
 today is as near its perfection as we
 can possibly conceive. The sanitation
 m the factories in which it is packed
 is beyond reproach as the competition
 today in these lines necessitates the
 guarding of the most minute detail of
 the business. The apples used are of
 the best grade of New York State,
 where in our opinion Is grown the
 best favored apple known. The
 raisins used are of the best quality
 seeded variety. No expense is con-
 sidered in procuring the very highest
 grade of spices, and sugar, as we all
 know, is always sugar, the different grades merely representing the diner ent fiavors or different granulation re-
 quired for different purposes. Every particle of fruit or any other article used in the manufacture of mince meat is thoroughly cleaned and hand-picked by people trained to know what should
 and should not be used and in this
 manner the article comes to the house wife cleaner by far than she could possibly take the same articles in her own kitchen, regardless of how clean it may be, and make up the filler for her mince pie. The old idea of dirt being prevalent in quantity is today
 disputed by the greatest authorities on food products. The meat used in mince meat is of the choicest and to- day the same corn-beef which you and I would use on our table is what is being used in Serv-us Mince Meat. There are very few pies made which can be used as handily by the house. wife as mince meat for all it requires is a little water and being heated for ten minutes and it is ready for the crust and then the table and she may without fear of loss carry three or four packages of mince meat in her pantry, having it ready at any time for the chance occurrence of unexpect- ed company and it will be a good dessert free from dirt. It is our thorough belief that a mince meat pie ! made from condensed mince meat is about as cheap a dessert as can be prepared and yet as good. For many years mince meat was considered a winter dish. Each year for the last ten our factory has had to increase it's capacity during the summer months until today it runs | every day of the year with a regular ] force of helpers, We ship goods to | every part of the country the entire year. This of course means a great | increase in the use of these goods over when mince meat was eaten only in | the winter months which means an fn- | creased sale over the former winter consumption.

ABOUT PRICES

 The standard expression of advertisers few years ago was Highest Quality at Lowest Prices. Today they know and the public knows that such a claim is false and the expression is almost abandoned. The better quality products has always ways will. .,,- some firms, through superior facilities and equipment can deliver better values than others and we are one of them.

FLUCTUATES'
 BUT CLOSED STEADY.
Market Opened at Decline, But Easier Cables
 Check Break

New York January S.-Confcting re- ports with reference to the shipping situ- ation caused more or less confusion of sentiment in the cotton market here to- day and fluctuations were somewhat ir- regular An early decline to 12.64c for March was followed by rallies, however, with that position selling at F Sic in the fate trading and with the general list closing very steady, net unchanged to 8 points higher. New Crop deliveries were relatively steady during the entire morn ing.
 Cables were lower than due and early advices denied yesterdays rumors that the British government had placed lirni- tations on freight rates from gulf ports to Liverpool. This was probably 8 disap- pointment to some of yesterdays local buyers, and there was considerable scat tering liquidation at the start. Prices opened at a. decline of points to an ad- vance of point and the active old crop deliveries sold about s to points net lower on or Immediately after the call, with January touching 122Sc, May 12.7Sc and July 1293c. Private cables attrib- uted the easier showing of Liverpool to straddle selling, and there was active buying here by houses with Liverpool concessions at the opening decline This checked the break and prices later im- proved on covering, local bull support and buying by brokers who were sup posed to be trading for continental in terests January sold up to 12.3Sc. May to 12.S5c and July to 13c, while October advanced from 12.61c to 12.82c. Closing prices were at practically the best point of the morning. Rumors that the steam CTS of a British line running between the United States and South America had been requisitioned to carry cotton to Liverpool were circulating early, and probably helped to check the initial de- cline but it was reported later that the company mentioned had denied that any such action had been taken. There has been so much talk of fixing freight rates or of turning over tonnage to the use of the cotton trade, however, that some traders appear to be looking for some ac- tion on the part of the British govern ment to relieve the raw material situa- tion in Lancashire.

RENEWED ACTIVITY
 ON STOCK EXCHANGE
Settlement of Submarine Controversy Tends to
 Strengthen Market

New York, January S.-A belief that the long existing submarine controversy between Washington and Berlin had been virtually settled, contributed in a great measure to the strength and activ- ity of today's brief session, albeit some of the advance and much of the high pressure were reduced in the final deal ings. In the first half hour yesterdays s buying movement was renewed on a liberal scale, the short interest scram- bling hastily to cover.
 Leaders of the movement included Mex ican Petroleum, American Can, American Smelling, Anaconda Copper, Mercantile Marine preferred and United States Steel. The latter scored a further substantial advance, effacing more of the mid-week' 8 decline, but was subject to pressure later, closing unchanged at S71a.
 Some of the more prominent specialties were to points over yesterdays mini nuns and the railway division was firm, but comparatively quiet. Labor troubles and riots in the middle west emboldened the professional element to further short selling in the final hour, the market closing with an irregular tone
 The usual weekend budget of news bearing on financial conditions included statements from the mercantile agencies of increased extension of various forms of commercial and industrial enterprises, while the November statement of the Great Northern railway, disclosing a net gain of $2,590,000 over the corresponding month of 1914, was in keeping with recent railway exhibits. Foreign exchange mar kets were mainly nominal in the sense that actual business was light. Sterling opened with some recovery from yester- days late session. but fell back again later while marks manifested f1rmer tendency.
 Forecasts of the bank statement were fully confirmed the actual cash gain of $17,5O0000 exceeding most estimates. Actual reserves increased by almost $8,- O00,000. Anglo-French bonds. which rose to 971s featured the broad trading in those securities. Total sales of bonds, par value, were $4,434,OO0

60 HIGHER
 ON WHEAT MARKET
Outlook for Free Export Movement Reason for the
 Upward Movement

Chicago, January Notifications that sales of wheat to 20 to the sea- board had been larger than was gen orally supposed, led to higher prices on wheat today after a weak start. The close was firm at %c to 5s@%o net advance, with May at s1.26 and July at $1.1SA. Corn finished k@%c up and oats with gain of Ne. In pro- visions the outcome varied from 12kc decline to 8 rise of 10c.
 Bulls in wheat were handicapped at nrst by lower quotations at Liverpool, and by an apparent absence of any adequate purchasing likely to be for Europe. Announcements that two eastern railroads had lifted embareoes on export traffic in cases where spe- CHIC steamers were named did not inn medIately have noticeable effect on the market here. On the contrary gen. eral selling that included a number or stop loss orders kept prices for sometime In state of unmistakable depression. In the last half of the day, however, it developed that sales nere yesterday amounted to more than
 tHe lOtdI WnlCn was aQm1LteQ and that 100000 bushels had been can- celed out of store here today for ment. As a result bears were at no subsequent period able to exercise con : trol.
 Notwithstanding that signs point to liberal increase of the United States visible supply total on Monday the wheat market closed at nearly the highest level of the session. One of the reasons for the strength was an out for considerable free export movement next week.
 Broadening of both export and do- mestic inquiry rallied the corn market. Besides predictions were current that receipts here would become the small est in years Oats were dominated by the action of other grain Eastern de- mand was said to have improved, and country offerings were light.
 Liquidating sales caused break in January pork. but the remainder of the provision list was firmer. Commits sion houses were buyers, encouraged because shipments of lard and meats decidedly exceeded the record last year at the corresponding time.

Only Special Attention Will Produce the Eggs That Are Golden
Proper Housing, Sanitary Conditions and Scientific Feeding Are of Equal Importance
By REESE v. HICKS Former President of the American Poultry Association

Copyright, 1y16.)
 Of the many items contributing to the poultryman's profits, winter eggs are among the most important, and sometimes the most elusive There should be no difficulty in obtaining them, however, if you will give your flock thoughtful attention and care. The hens are usually willing to meet The following article suggests some ways of encouraging them.
 Winter eggs are the goal of the poultry raiser, no matter whether hs is an amateur or a professional, for it is the winter eggs that bring the high prices and mean profit to the man who makes his living raising poultry and economy to the one who raises chickens for eggs for his own use. It is a com mon saying that everybody's hens lay eggs in the spring when eggs are plen tiful and low in price, but winter eggs are only for the few wise ones who give their hens proper care.
 The first step toward procuring them is to consider the history of the hen herself Her own record for health must be good, preferably with never a sick day against her from the time she was matched. She would have been matched in the early spring so that she has finished her growth and Is fully matured before the cold weather of fall sets in. Pullets that were matched in the summer and fall never grow to full size and seldom do much, if any, winter laying the first year of their lives. Even if they lay the first winter, the eggs will be small The hen must be we'll cared for all her life. It is useless to expect that even the best of last minute care to a lot of fowls that have had little or no at tention all spring. summer and fall. will produce a good winter egg yield. Better dispose of all sickly and dwarfed stock and keep only those that show vigor and are fully ma tNrad
