LICENSING BAKERS.

Following the efforts which have been made to increase and to conserve the wheat supply of this country. and the campaign which has been carried on with more or less favorable results in ordeS to educate the people in the use of substitutes. the government has reached the decision that the bread making industry Of the country needs to be regulated out of fairness to the bakers and to the consumers. Ac- cordingly on the tenth of next month the bakers arc to be licensed and un- der that privilege of doing business they are going to be required to use certain ingredients in the making of their product and the weight and price of each loaf is to be ,fixed.
 This mems that the business is to De standardized throughout the coun- try and as n result of that action the price of bread is to be lowered That lts brEaxs EIu conform to the regu-

OUR cREArEsr SERVICE.

Every reason exists for the placing of the emphasis which Rear Admiral Bowles did upon = the necessity of speeding up the building. of ships in this country as he .didgats a Philadel- phia luncheon. There he gave a clear outline of the shipbu:lding pro- gramme disclosing the fact that this country now has 400 wooden and con- crete ships, and 400 steel ships under construction and 400 more which were being built in private yards but which have been taken over by the govern ment, representing in all a dead weight tonnage of 100000.
 These ships could all be used today if they were available. They are be- ing pushed along as rapidly as pos sible but there is a shortage of help which is bound to hinder construction until it is overcome. There is need for eliminating this obstacle as quick ly as possible, not only for the pur- pose of getting these ships under con tract off the ways but for the purpose of being better prepared for meeting the ship building requirements in the coming year when the shipbuilders' task will be to produce "ten to twelvr , times as many vessels as we have eve been able to produce before"
 The settlement of the labor troubles will do much to help along this work but no little benefit is bound to result from the plan which he referred to of training 50se00 in the next six months so that they will become skilled ship builders. There is a part which both labor and capital can play and both should be guided now of all times by patriotism. Admiral Bowies doesn't exaggerate a particle when he says our greatest service can be rendered in building ships.

MISTREATED HOLLAND.

How much contempt Germany has for the neutrality of Holland or in fact that of any country, and how lit tie regard it has for the help which it has obtained from it in the way of foodstuffs and other materials re- quired in the conduct of the war is displayed every now and then in the wanton manner in which the vessels of that and other neutral countries are destroyed without regard to life or property.
 The latest instance is the sinking of a Dutch fishing boat. almost with in sight of its -harbor, without giving any warning to the crew. The result Of this t1nwafranted attack was that a boy of 15 was killed and the ten survivors were not rescued until they had been seven hours in a small boat. This of course is nothing new. for German U-boat commanders They have followed that policy from the start and in spite of the promises that have been made to Holland and other countries there is no letup in it's say Sge conduct
 Holland is of course so located geo graphically that Germany has an overpowering advantage over it but in view of athe treatment it is being accorded it is the cause for no little surprise that Holland is so ready to continue it's trade for the purpose of indirectly helping along and aiding in the continuance of just such atrecious acts as that which was committed tup- on the Dutch fishing boat Certain ones in Holland, are of course making a good profit off of the trade but it ought not to be overlooked that it is heing done at tremendous sacrifice of lives. property and rights.

THE M. C. A EuNp-

No better proof of the excellent ser vice that Is being rendered to the solz diers and sailors through the Y. M C. A. is furnished than that which comes from the boys who have ex- Perienced these benefits. They know
 what it means to have a place to go to for recreation. entertainment or mingIing with their felIowmen under proper conditions They appreciate what 1t means to have some such or ganization take an interest in their welfare and comfort and to make con- ditions either in the cantonments or at the front as near homelilze as pos sih1e- This is all reflected in the let sers which are written home by those who are so far away that it is inpos- sible to get back during their brief furioughs, and by the expressions of those who are able to return for short visits with relatives and friends

 Each and everyone is interested in the welfare of those who have gone to fight for their country on land or sea- They are rendering a service to the nation and therefore to every indi- vidual of incalculable value.

CORN IN coNNEcrIcur.

This part of the state has reason to be proud of the recent record made by Merrill Healey of North Wood stock in the raising of corn. He has demonstrated by his average produc- ton of 1I2 bushels to the acre that Connecticut farms can be made to successfully compete with those of the middle west, that by giving the proper attention to it corn can be grown In this part of Conn necticut at q handsome profit when he can clear S1z7-73 an acre and that the solution of the problem of getting the grain and other produce which Connecticut may require Hes in the hands of those who are tiiling its soil.
 The idea that Connecticut land for farming purposes has run out is kpocked Sky high by such a demon stration in Windham county The contrary has been shown most effec- lively and what is true of corn is equally true of other things. This of course cannot be done without tack ling the problem with determina tion to solve 1t. but whether it is the pro- ducticn of corn. vegetables. sheeps hogs or cattle the task can be solved equally well if the proper methods are applied
 The Bulletin has contended for a long time that Nhis part of the state. or Connecticut for that matter, could produce all the corn that it requires. Corn is largely required on the farm. Less than 15 per cent. of the produc- >ion is used elsewhere. Mir Healey has proceeded to demonstrate what can be done where there is the will and it is to be hoped that his example win be an inspiration for others to go and do likewise. It is bound to mean much to the agricultural interests of the Nutmeg state.

CWritten Specially for The Bulletin.) )
 The early church silver of Connec- cut cut is of very great interest, writes George Munsen Curtis in his book from which previous quotations have been made in this column, not only on account of it's, beauty and quaint ness, but also because of its associa- ton and history. -
 Nothing else brings us into such intimate touch wit" the life of, our after generation. of the sturdy Con necticut stock have hallowed it by the most religious act of their lives,
 The breakers, eaudie cups and tankards were frequently ,.in domestic use before they were presented the churches, the offering of rdevouf Chris tian men and women. This plate is dition an when dedicated, to. Gods ser vice. VT -,s:- -
 Too many connecticnt churches have banished these sacred memorials to safety deposit vaults in cities and to boxes and baskets stored in attics in country districts, he, complains The sU bstitution of the Individual cups is of course, the cause of the. change.-@
 MT. Curtis inquires: s,.Would it not be most fitting if these rdiscar&ed me- morials were deposited in some cen tral place where the protection would be ample. yet where their historical and religious significance would not be hidden, and their beauty and workmanship could, be studied and adj mired?
 While not so likely when silver is stored in a safety deposit vault in the name of a. church. there is always, when placed in the custody of an in- dividual the danger not only of fire and burglary but that it may be ut terly forgotten, and thus.f through csrelessness or dishonesty, finally drift into alien: hands a.nd-be lost, to the church forever. q: ie. ..~ E.
