HAMS ONTO youa OWN MONEY, BROTHER,
BUT DON'T keep OURS

We are a great admirer OF the fellow
who is economical, prudent, and hangs
onto his money. Only in this way can
he hope to secure a competei ce for his
support and enjoyment for self and
family in the silver days of life. We
are trying to do that ou'self.
We try to meet every one Of our own
obligations as quickly as they become
due, but we find it difficult to do be-
cause so many people W us on SUBJ
scription and forget to pay.
Our advertisers and job department
patrons are prompt in the payment Of
their bills, as a rule. Many of our
subscribers are the same and never al
low themselves to drift in the delin-
quent class But there is a Distress
ingly large number of subscribers who
pay their other obligations and forget
the existence of the editor, or the fact
that we must eat and wear clothes
and pay our own bills.
No, these good people do not intend
to withhold payment of these small
amounts. 1t is an insignificant sum to
them and the necessity for prompt
payment does not occur to them They
simply forget that we have hundreds
of such small accounts which, in the
aggregate, mean mach to us.
The necessity is very pressing with
US and we are e~ndeavoring, in as deli
cate a manner as possible, to impress
this fact upon your mind without Civ
ing any %offense, for we need the money
need it right now
We feel that after explaining the
matter to you, you will not fail to send
it to us by first mail-or drop into the
office and hand it to use
We will appreciate it if you will
bring or send us an item or two of
news at the same time. 1t all helps TO
make the paper better and more inter-
to you, az well as to others.
Feeling hat you will respond
promptly, and thanking you in advance
for same, we are
Sincerely yours,
THE EDITOR.

STEPS TO STANDARDiZE
 BREAD AND LOWER PRICE
All Bakeries to Be Under Govern
 nnent License December 10.

Washington, Nov. H. = Definite steps to standardise bread and lower its price will be taken tomorrow when President Wilson issues a proclama- tion placing all bakeries under gov ernment license December 10 and sub jecting them to food administration rules prescribing ingredients and weights of 1oaves- Prices will not be fixed, but with the standardization it is expected that natural competition and simplification of distribution will force down prices for pound loaves to seven cr eight cents
 Fancy breads. will be eliminated and the multitude of sizes now pro- duced will be reduced to four with standard ingredients. The weights and four pounds. The loaves will have a crease in the middle to permit sale in halves. Only three pounds of sugar will be allowed for a barrel of flour instead of an average of six pounds now used, and two pounds of vegetable oil shortening must be used, instead of six pounds of lard or oil The food administration expects to save 100, ,00e. .000 pounds of sugar and Bakers may use only skinned milk for bread and rolls will be permitted only if made in standard sizes of reg ulafion bread dough.
 Food Administrator Hoover hopes to work reforms in distribution from bakeries to retailers and from retail CTS to customerS.1- He will urge groc- CTS to buy regular quantities of bread, limiting their purchases to a. single bakery instead of buying from several and to make lower charges to 4I A E --

MILITARY DRILL.
To Be Required at Pemfret School at
 Once.

With the close of the football season at Pomfret school, military drill will be resumed there practically at once. This was begun at the s1hoot last year after the Easter holidays. and was suc- cessfully continued until the end of the school year.
 The object of this drill was to give every boy in the school knowledge of the fundamentals of military tao tics and to prepare him in a small way to meet the requirements of his to do so
 Though the drill consisted merely of close and open order formations. this on account of lack of time to give instructions along other lines, 1t prov ed os greatest help to the raen who later went into the service or attend- ed military training camps.
 This years course Of instruction Will be wider reaching and will afford an opportunity that many of the students will make the most of. At the school it Is being pointed out that every chance to gain military knowl- edge should be yrasped so that those who represent the school may give the fullest service to their co,in- try when their time to answer the call shall have come. Few of the students are old enough to be drafted The fnstitution. however, has its men in the service and has done much to aid hospital work in France. where some of the graduates of the school have met death Tn the cause of liberty
 The guns to be used sf the school are of model made fin the United States for ltse in the Russian army. The guns we're repected by the Rus

LINK OF STATE ROAD
If Completed Would Mean Much for
 Automobile Traffic.

Automobile owners of the town of ki1lingiy and other towns in this vicin- ity are going to be urged to combine their efforts toward the end of having the last remaining link of state road from Mazzerelli.s farm eastward to the Rhode Island line constructed.
 This route from this section of the state into Providence is the shortest and most direct. In proper condition. it would be the favorite route between Hartford. Wiilimantic and all inter ve1ing points into the capital of Rhode Island. but delay after delay has been pleted. In the meantime the Rhode Island government Is becoming dis couraged with the delays on this side or the line and Is letting what was a from the Rhode Island Connecticut line at Little Rest to the Providence city line. get into bad state of dis- repair.
 to the Rhode Island line is one section of one of the states great trunk line highways. It is the red banded route that most interests the people of this section, but for some reason that can not be satisfactorily accounted for it is not being developed and trafic is being diverted over longer and less de- sirable routes.
 In the past. several efforts have been made to get the state highway depart -g fnent to take up the work and com plete 1t to the Rhode Island line. Now another effort is to be made and it will have the backing of a great many people in this section of the county.
 Dog Ordinance Nc Joke.
 Many dog owners in Killingly, prin- cipally in the sections outside the Villages of the town, are regarding the order to keep. their dogs confined as a joke, but beginning this morning they will find that the order of the com missioner of domestic animals was put in force to be obeyed and there is go- ing to be a cleanup of loose dogs,
 In the borough and in the villages of the town the order to keep the doss confined is being very generally oheyed, but out in the farming sec tons dogs may be seen running at liberty much as they always have.
 Dog Warden M. H. Grimshaw has been Ill at his home in Attawaugan nearly all of the past week and that fact is the answer to the question why dogs at liberty have not been picked np. This morning Mir. Grfmshaw will commence his active campaign. He has been aware of what is going on. for telephone calls have come to him allowed to roam while a neighbor's might be confined.
 The law relative to the dogs applies to every nook and corner of the town and it must beNFi&idly obeyed if it is to bring about the effect desired-the of the spread of rabies.
 Mir Grimshaw laughed Saturday ms he told how . stray dog came up into his yard. but the warden wasn't in shape to get him. Things will be diff ferent this week, he says.
