 Drafted Men Raid Saloon.
 As the result of several of the draftees from Ansonia having an un- quenchable thirst for liquor it is re- ported that the owner of one of the local emporiums has discovered that his place was raided yesterday just before the boys entrained.
 He being patriotic citizen, was out to see the boys off and say good bye. Fortunately, Or rather unfor- tunately, he left the door open with no one in charge of the place. Several of the selectives from Ansonia think ing that a mild Irritation with John Barleycorn before they left would do no harm, wandered into the place. Finding no one there procedure was simple. How much they consumed is not known but the owner is probably of the opinion that they get more than their share". In return, they left some small change on the register.

administrator, has sent an appeal tc Town Clerk Usher recommending that the people of Plainville ob- l serve Wednesday and Thursday as days on which no white bread shall l De used. He hopes that this practice Will be observed by householders, ho- tels, restaurants. lunch rooms and clups as voluntary offering toward the solution of the food problem. AS reason for this move he adds that 1t Is manifest that if we are to send to our allies to Europe the amount of wheat which they abso- lutely require it will be necessary for all to save by such measures as this. At time when so many of our young men are leaving home to prepare themselves for the war it is surely not to much to ask for self-sacrifice from those who stay at home.

 Had Narrow Escape
 A party of autom mobilists said to live in Hartford, had narrow escape from death last evening, when the machine in which they were riding backed through the fence on Caesars Hill and into ditch several feet be- l low. There was a man and two wom- en in the car but fortunately all es- i capped without serious injury. George H. Baldwin of Kensington was summoned and lowed the ; wrecked machine which is a Rec to nearby garage.
 1 According to the story told by one of the passengers, the machine be- ! came stalled while going up the hill. The driver, while trying to change the speed, reversed the wrong clutch and the car backed through the heavy l railing into the ditch.

 l Although little interest is manifested
 In the appointment of town officers 1 at the election which will be held the l nrst ot October there is considera b. @ l discussion among the townpeople as 1 to whether Plainville will remain in 1 the license column this year. Not in years has so strong a fight been made Tor prohibition. Already several anti license speakers have appeared in town giving talks on the streets and 1 in the churches.
 According to John Lamb, who is one or the strongest no-license men in town and an advocate of prohibition, organization has meen formed which Will be much in evidence on Octo- Der l. The "drys" are bining their resources mentally as we'll as 1 financially to ride John Barleycorn out of town on rail. He, as we'll as several other prominent citizens seem to think that victory is a certainty. The "wets' naturally are of the opinion that Plainville will still re- main a license town and that the local emporiums will continue to dispense the joy water" over the mahogany. It is rumOred that one of the local
 hotel men has offered to wager money
 to the extent of four figures to that effect. As far as can be learned no l one has taken the wager.
 With the approaching election only
 a few days away the usual talk which precedes the event is being heard on the streets, in stores and other public places, in fact wherever supporters of the different happen to meet. The arguments advanced are varied but instructing as we'll as amusing. AL though members of the "wets'' and "drys' have not yet come to blows several warm verbal battles have been pitched
 Some state that if the town goes
 no-license it will lose the prosperity which it now enjoys, that those who
 are addicted to liquor and those who
 use it for medicinal or other purposes
 will be able to smuggle it into the
 town, that as many trunks will be
 taken into custody as before and that
 a large share of the drinking men
 will do their trading in nearby towns where they can obtain stimulants. The "drys' have several good arguments. Although they admit that
 the town might temporarily fall into
 state of coma eventually greater
 prosperity would be enjoyed.
 As 1SO men of the town have ap-
 piled to be made voters this year they
 may decide the outcome. Those who are qualified will take the oath tomor-
 row and it is thought that a large number of those who are made" will flock to the license ranks.

EXPLANATION OF
 10TH CENTURY HONESTY
Home Gardeners Say They Don't Wish to Take Unfair Advantage of Co., Workers

With reference to the story which appeared in The Bulletin Thursday morning in regard to the "early awak- ening'' of the local home gardeners one of the gardeners writes The Bulletin as follows:
 It has really taken so much of the available working time of the last few mornings to explain to the nearby res idents and passarsby the matter of the exact time of arrival of the corner az rlculturlstS at the scene of surgical operations a t the Mckinley avenue switch that we have decided to sus- pend momentarily the old rule that has been inherited from our PuritanicaI ancestors which states that speech is silver but silence is golden"
 We cannot suspect the particular person who might acceed to us such enViable reputation your Thursday ' paper states of arriving at 4 a. rn
 There are many of the officers of our interested public society from vice president down to treasurer living near or using the thoroughfare
 If we should accuse the auto tray- watch and blame it all to the jeweler, the electric road customer probably wishes to give the impression that he goes to his Main street office on the t.15 car.
 Whoever he may be- we think he can but appreciate our magnamin- ity in allowing to gain the more pre- cious metal in reward for his future silence.
 Without consulting a notary we wish to simply affirm that we do not wish to take such unfair advantage of any of our fellow home gardeners by taking up the hoe at the place of aforesaid before a. m. in the past, the present nor the future (working late nights, not included)
 Should anyone wish proof off the grounds we will endeavor at all times to carry our union card.
 P. S. The increase of the stock Of peas, potatoes and spuds CD is not anticipated until warmer weather ar rives when unlike the usual custom, small buyers will receive the prefer ence, lowest price and delivery guar anteed without any strike clause hid den away in the corner of the con- tract.
 P. S. No. ?. Ours for the gold de- nomination hereafter. Cut this out. It will not appear again. Here is probably the only place we can make our mark.
