HELP FARMERS RAISE HOGS.

A The United States Food Administra- ton is ta actively assist the farmers of Connecticut in the growing of pork, according to telegram received at the headquarters of the Committee of Food Supply and Conservation of the State Council of Defense In Hartford re. gently.
 The Food Administration promises to take steps which will guarantee every man fair price for his hogs, and profit on his investment. They promise q rigid control of the packer through federal control of foreign buy ing, as well as buying for the army, navy and Red Cross.
 . The federal administration also will undertake to eliminate the sudden breaks in prices in central markets which do much to demoralize condi tions Herbert Hoover says in regard to th's point, "The prices so far as we can effect them, will not go below a minimum of about $15. 50 per hundred weight for the average of the packer droves of the Chicago market"
 The measure of the price for hogs as set forth by the Hoover organization is to be the price of corn.

Remedy for Caterpillar Plaque.

An efficient modern remedy for the caterpillar plague seems yet to seek, and no one apparently cares to resort to the methods of the past. In the year 112O the bishop of Laon sought to stay such a plague by solemn sentence of communication against the insects, and in later centuries this procedure was frequently repeated. One admo- milton, dated 1516, runs: we grant the request of the inhabitants of Villenore and warn the caterpillars to retire within six days. h default of this we declare them accursed and .excommu- nicated." With a nice feeling for jus tice, an advocate was appointed in one instance to. plead the cause of the in- sects against that of the farmers be- fore sentence was pronounced.

DEADLY ANTHRAX
 GERMS IN HAY
Kill Twerty Head Of Prize Cows Belonging to Famous
 Foresiville Herd.
FEAR SPREAD OF EPIZCOTlC
Cattle Commissioner and Vciorinar- ans Fight Hard to Stamp Out Mysterious Out5rea.i of Dis
 ease-Loss Reaches &6,C0o.

Hartford.-James M. Wnittlo-ey, commissioner of domestic animals, Special Deputy Howard A. Elliott, 10 laborers and corps of veterinarians mysterious infection among the live stock on the farm of W. G. Atkins of ForestviLe. MT. Atkins has lost 20 registered Jersey cows within a com paratively short period. Officials be- lieve that the infection is a serious form of anthrax.
 Mr.. Atkins, the owner of the strick- en herd, is a department manager of the New Departure Company and originally had a herd of 85 COWS. The oead cows were valued at about $6,000.
 Health Commissioner John T. Back has ordered that no milk be sold rom that farm until further notice and all men employed on. the place are re- quired to disinfect themselves before leaving each time. Several of the cows were buried in quicklime and over their graves ten tons of infected hay was burned. The remaining 65 COWS in the herd have been given anti anthrax serum treatment in the hope that this will stop the spread of the disease. The case is highly mysteri- ous as many of the dead animals were treated several weeks ago but died in spite of the treatment. Nine of the herd died in August, nine since then, and two were found infected last Sat urday by Commissioner Whittlesey.
 The hay was bought il New York state, but it is claimed that there has been no anthrax within 100 miles of there, leading the authorities to be- leve that tle hay was poisoned aste- reaching Bristol. The stri ri-test quar- antine is being observed at MT. At kin's farm in the hope that the dis ease can be prevented from spreading to other nearby herds and doing seri- ous damage. The barns and yards have been infected and the rest of the herd will be kept under the strictest l observation.
 Commissioner Whittlesey commu- nicated with other commissioners in | New England this week and found that this is the most serious outbreak in many years. The case is being in vestigated to discover if possible the guilty persons. The COWS that were killed were the best in the herd, one l being valued at $2,000.

Aaainst Combination Sales.

The ruling of the National Food Ad- ministration that the practice of combination sales" by grocers and others, requiring customers to make additional purchases in order to ob- tain a certain food article, may not be continued, except that dealer may require the customer to buy twice the weight of corn meal, grew out of in- quiries of the Connecticut Food Ad- ministration few days ago as to the legality of such combination sales" At a conference in Washington last week it was stated the food adminis- tration of Connecticut and Rhode Island pointed out the increase in bargain sales" to obtain sugar and other sales of non-essentials had been unnecessarily stimulated.
 Robert Scoville, the state food ad- ministrator, stated that the ruling is effective at once.

SUGAR QUESTION SERIOUS.

,, The shortage of sugar is causing many people to look more closely to the amount used and many little luxuries have been discontinued. Local merchants arc selling only small quan titles to their regular customers and are practically refusing to sell to the occasional buyer.

Blackmail in Hartford.


 A recurrence of blackmailing letters sent to wealthy Hartford persons is in evidence there again. Two such letters have been received within a week by Mrs. Ralph W. Cutler, widow of the late president of the Hartford Trust Company, and by John l.. Tal- colt, president of the Strand moving picture circuit. In the case of Mrs. Cutler $25,00O was demanded under pain of death. Mrs. Cutler was told to leave the money in Simsbury and MT. Talcott was ordered to leave S2,500 at the -four corners" in Albany avenue.
 Mrs. Cutler has also received mes- sage by telephone urging her to make haste or suffer. The letters sent by the blackmailers are written Hitter ately and resemble those sent to prom inent Hartford people last summer, at which time State Librarian Goddard was one of those who received threats.

KEEPING IN TOUCH WITH PUBLIC
WANTS.

One of the fundamental principles
of successful advertising is offering
what the people want. This is not
the easiest thing in the world nor is it
the most difficult. 1t is something that
requires intelligent study and careful
observation.
Fads, fashions and the seasons re-
,quirements are some Of the elements
that must be studied and which influ-
Ience public desires. The trend of GER
tain conditions may suggest what to
offer the public. In cases where the
peoples desires are really studied,
great successes are usually made.
Most up-to-date merchants know
what the public wants. That's why
they are up-to-date. But the public
rs not aware Of that fact unless 1t is
proclaimed through advertising.
Many of our local dealers are we'll
posted on the wishes of our citizens
land nearby friends. The success of
these dealers is unquestionable be-
cause they are Offering the public what
1t desires, and naturally the people
make their purchases there.
Keeping in touch with public wants
rs good business policy that should be
reflected in the advertising.
