NO RAISE IN PRICE.

The price demanded by the N. E. M. P. A. for milk during the month of October is suspended by the interven- tion of the Massachusetts Food Admin. istration, until the 18th. An increase of lc per quart to the farmers had been demanded.
 The producers have been assured that if they can justify their demands the authorities will assist them in pro- curing the price asked.
 The dealers of Boston have also been required to suspend any increase to the consumer and to be governed in their selling price by what they can show to be justified. This means a thorough ventilation of the milk situa. tion in Boston under the direction of authorities with power to act. Just how far the authorities can go in regu- lating prices has not been determined.
 The refusal of the parties to agree to this arrangement would have thrown the matter into the courts by the state Government to prevent an increased price.
 The dairy farmers producing mark t milk will be represented in this adjust ment by the New England Milk Pro. ducers' Association and the dairy or ganizations in the several states in. volved. The decision is to be rendered on or before October 20th and is to take effect as of October ] 5th.

THE ERTY LOAN.

The second Liberty Loan campaign has been launched and is now gather. ing impetus as the days pass. To every man and woman :n this and every other community self sacrifice of some kind is absolutely necessary to win this great war which has been forced upon us No better sacrifice, if one wishes to call it by that name, can be made than in helping oar soldiers win battles by purchasing Liberty Bend
 Uncle Sam is not asking us to give him something for nothing He is ask ing us to lend him money, from $50 up, for period of years and in return he will pay you per cent interest on this loan, and give you what is really prom:ssory note, endorsed by every one ot the no, ,OO0,o0 people in this great country.
 If there are any sentimentalists in this community, who say that they don't want to give money to send their boys to France, it is s;.fe to say that every dollar reserved in that way will mean the loss of so many more Ameri- can lives. Fanatics such as these can not stop our boys from going to France. for they will go, more and more every month, until we finally come to the decisive day, which will witness the laying down of arms of every nation and thatsday will also proclaim victory for our country and our allies.
 There are some who may. delude themselves by thinking that because of the ver-subscription to the first loan. they need not subscribe to this | Every patriot should subscribe to this present loan, regardless of whether it will. be doubled or not. It is no small task to raise three billion dollars. The magnitude of this sum is beyond com prehension. Those who hesitate with the eyes of all the world. and more especially of Germany, upon us, are unconsciously giving aid to the enemy in material way.
 Our soldiers must eat and have cloth ing to meke them comfortable, and to prove to these men who are giving their lives to the nation, that we are watching them. step by step as they advance, can be shown in no better way than by lending Uncle Sam the money necessary to give them the comforts and necessities so vital te keep up their fighting strength.

MALONEY TRIED.

Wm. Maloney, alias Wm. Mcdonald, who was arrested here short time ago by Deputy Sheriff Hornbeck and Rhoades in connection with the Ruben. stein jewelry robbery, was tried in New York last week. Maloney pleaded guilty. In plea made to the court, Mrs. Maloney asked that the court give her husband the maximum penalty of the law. Her reason for this she ex plained, was because she would then know where to find him.
 She remarked further, that if the court did not impose a severe sentence, the government would take him into the army, and she could not bear to think of him sleeping in the trenches full of water and mud, and possibly meet ing death. The judge of the court sen fenced Maloney to term of years in prison, but suspended sentence, provi. ding he would return to the army, and be placed on probation in charge of the commandant.

Municipal Markets.

One thing in which Baltimore is 6 pioneer is its system of municipal mar kets. In 1751, when there were only twenty-five houses in what was then known as Baltimore Town, public market was established, and by the time the city was incorporated in 1796 three such markets had already been established within its corporate limits, Today eleven municipal markets, all owned by the city, are within easy reach of 100000 people of Baltimore and vicinity. Going to market" is a localism in Baltimore, and the thrifty Baltimore housewife learned when a little girl that it pays to take market basket to one of the public markets at least twice week, particularly on Saturday, and get fresh country prod uce, without the middleman's han ding and profit, at considerably less thsn at the corner grocery stores.- Exchange.

Letters from Canaan Boys
 at Camp.
Camp Devens, Aver, Mass.

 October 6. 1917.
 After waiting until six o'clock Thursday night for the Winsted con- tingent to arrive, one hundred and fifty two men from the Bridgeport dis. trict were assigned to our company. Since they came there hasn't been very much for the old fellows to do as the officers have been busy outfitting the new arrivals. However. we did all get our second inoculation Thursday and Friday most ot the crowd took good care that no one hit their left arm.
 The new Canaan boys, Hunker, San ford, Brewster, Dieter, and Graves are in Company g, Depot Brigade, about half mile from us. Yesterday they renewed acquaintance with pick and shovel. and when I stopped in to see them this morning they were all out picking up stones and sticks We all seem to get the same work to start in on. Their address is Go. g, Depot Bri gade, Camp Devens, Aver, Mass.
 William Blass who was tranferred to the Engineers is acting as cook. His address is 3O1st Engineer Train, Camd Devens, Aver, Mass.
 Fuller received orders Saturday to report at Washington, D. O. as soon as possible. He is tranferred to the Gas Defense Service, Field Supply Section of the Sanitary Corps cf the National Army. He hasn't even learned yet what he is to report to, but reads the above from his transfer order whenever anyone asks him where he is going.
 We're all looking forward to seeing some Canaan people this Sunday and next. We received our wool suits today and we will dress up in them and show our visitors how much the army has done for us in this short time. To find the 304th Regiment follow the signs directing tEe way to the Base Hospital and you cannot miss us. We are on tor of the hill on the opposite side of the camp from the entrance.

NORTH cANAAN'S SHARE.

Six more of our young men left for she training camp at Aver, Mass, last Wednesday evening, making total of IA from tlfis town. To these young men, as to those who have gone before them. The News extends its best wishes.
 To those who have followed the drafting of men from the different towns in this district it seems that some of these towns are hardly doing their part towards furnishing their share for the national army. North Canaan has to date sent A men and Salisbury II, while the town of Ga naan has sent none.
 Connecticut has furnished more than it's share of men for which the state will get credit in the next draft. Why the town of Canaan has furnished none, must be due to the fact that men eligible TO the draft are not phy. sically fit. It is hard to part with our boys, yet town may some day point with pride to the number it fur nished, and feel that we did our share

FIXING COAL PRICES.

According to the announcement of James I. Storrow, New England fuel administrator, every city and town in New England is to have local com- mittee. with authority to fix the price of coal. The prices will be subject to review by the state chairman of the fnel,administration and if necessary, by the national fuel administrator.
 In some cities and towns, not only of thls~ state, but in all New England the local fuel administrator will have a chance to do some real work, and win the lasting approval of the people if he will fix the price of coal so as to allow only a. fair profit.
 On his return from conference at Washington, MT. Storrow stated the cost of coal at the mine, transportation, expense of handling, etc., will be in- vestigated, and to this added fair margin of profit. The total figures thus derived, subject to the approval of the state chairman and MT. Storrow, will be the coal price in any given commu- nifty.
 This sounds very fine, and locks still finer on paper, but we have net forgotten that as soon as MT. Hoover regulated the price of coal at the mine, the price of coal was raised about 55c per ton, to enable the dealer to make affair profit If this new plan of having local fuel administrator is going to raise the price of coal again, the con. sumers would much rather worry along without it.

If there is any one war phrase which should be given more prominence than another up to the present time, it should be: Lafayette, here we are". The words were spoken by Gen. Persh. ing, as he placed wreath on the tomb of Lafayette and the reverent simpli. city with which they were spoken is an excellent sample of the sentiment contained in the makeup of a real American.

What help will it be to us to have lower coal prices if we cant get any coal at all? The trouble last season was extreme in this respect. The government will need to get sternly busy if we are not to see the difficulty worse during the coming winter New London Day.
