MUST OBTAIN LICENSE
Order Effective November list Win
 Effect Some Local Stores.

A telegram from Herbert c. Hoover, United States Food Administrator re- ceived by Robert Scoville of Salisbury, Federal Fool Administrator of Con. necticut, gives information concerning the federal plan of putting many food commodities under a system of licens. ing, effective November l, as explained in President Wilson's proclamation on the matter. For the present, the mes- sage says. proprietors of hotels and res. taurants and confectioners, bakers and ice[cream manufacturers will be ex- cepted from the list of those dealers and manufacturers who will be TO. quired to take out licenses. All others specified in the. President's proclama. tion must apply for licenses to the license division of the Federal Food Administration at Washington, and doubtful cases of exemption must se referred to this division for decision.
 The rules in regard to the licensing plan are based on these three funda. mental principles: All profits must be kept down to the normal level of ordin. ary years and the prices charged must disregard shortage of supply and be based on cost rather than market price, unnecessary delays in movements of food from producer to consumer, specu- lation, resales within a trade and un. reasonable accumulations or hoarding must be discouraged; contracts for future demand dealings in future con- tracts must be eliminated.
 The regulations Uo not attempt to change the customary channels of bust. ness distribution. All holders of licenses will be required to make sworn monthly reports of their business, and their books must always be open to in- spection.
 MT. Scoville also received telegram from the Food Administration at Washington announcing that the state of Florida, through it's Federal Food Administrator, had challenged every state in the Union to do as we'll as it expects to do on population percentage, basis in getting signatures to tho Federal Food Conservation Pledge. Mir. Scoville announced that Connecticut would accept the challenge and will conduct vigorous campaign to try to surpass Florida's efforts.

APPEAL FOR RED CROSS WORKERS
Congresses, Bandages, Etc. Are Bad
 ly Needed at the Front.

There are 123 women listed in the town of North Canaan as members of the American Red Cross. Out of this number, there is an average of twenty women working in the Canaan Red Cross rooms.
 Allowing for forced absence on the part of some by reason of i'll health. business positions or duties best known to themselves, what excuse can be given for such small percentage of active workers who are asked but once week to give one hour, two hours, or two and one half hours of their time, as their circumstances permit?
 "I am knitting at home'.
 II have given of my means".
 This is true. Much interest has been; and is constantly being shown along these lines, but there is an imperative demand for surgical dressings, and more surgical dressings.
 If the rooms were open every day in the week, full to their capacity, the work sent off would he but small response to the cry for sponges ban dages, and congresses.
 Newspapers, sawdust, and soiled rags are being used in lieu of the dressings which are so pitifully needed.

WRONG INTERPRETATION.

A bulletin placed in the post office lobby by the local Red Cross auxiliary, asking that eatables, tobacco, cigarettes and other articles liable to the export revenue tax, be not contributed, is in so far as we can ascertain wrongly in terpreted.

Roberts, is to the effect that, so long as these articles are sent to our soldiers where postal base has been organized, whether in Eng. land or France, these articles are not liable for dtuy.
