MAYEs Canning CO.
CLOSED SUCCESSFUL
SEASON TODAY; PUT
Up $4,000 CANS

This afternoon the Mayes Canning
Factory will close down for the sea-
son, after short but successful Pc
riod of operation. until such time as
there may be sufficient available fruit
or vegetables to justify starting it up
again.
Mr.. Mayes operates two factories
one afthfsF Place and 6de at Webster
At the Lakeland plant he has put up
$4,000 cans of tomatoes. as fine an
article of canned goods as is pro-
duced anywhere in the country The
packages are neat and attractive. and
command ready sale in competition
with the best Baltimore product.
A visit to the Mayes plant will give
one an impression of cleanliness that
will serve to make the product more
appetizing. The brand is known as
the Seven Darlings," the name be-
ing given because the tomatoes are
handled in most of the process of
canning by bevy of charming young
giNs who belong to a social organiza-
tion of that name. We suggest that
another season Mr. Mayes adopt for
the design for his label a picture of
his force of charming Gamers. That
would sell the package. and people
would not be surprised then at the
excellence Of the contents.

MUNITiON PLANTS
 PROFITS REVEALED
Army of Accountants Required to
 Check Up Figures.

Washington, July 2e.-The govern nnent is placing contracts for muni- tions on a basis of cost plus 10 per cent, and in order to arrive at the eX- act cost of production has assigned a small army of accountants to work in the various munitions plants through out the country. This work is being done under the direct supervision of Lester W. Blythe recently appoint ed with the rank of major to head the accounting depa rtment, established under General William Crozier of the odrnance department.
 In the past the government has awarded contracts for munitions after competitive bids have been submitted. but because of the constantly changing price of material and the uncertainty about the labor situation at this time, and in order to insure the intuition plants against loss, the government has adopted the method mentioned. Accountants are already at work in a dozen or more plants figuring out the cost of production of all articles pur- chased by the government during the war. The cost plus 10 per cent. is not set price, the government paying some times more and sometimes less per cent above cost of production.
 A call has been sent out by the Civil Service commission for men between the ages of 23 and 45 to take examina- tions for this particular work. Circu- lars have been sent out to all the cer- tified accounting houses in the United States calling for men. The salaries that will be paid these accountants range from s14oo to $27oo. The com

 Shetucket Lodge, No. 27, I. o. O.. their meeting held in Odd Fellows hall Tuesday evening. There was a large attendance.
 Provision for the care of members of the order who may be injured at the front after the American army lands in France and the care and maintenance of their dependents at home will engage the attention of the Sovereign Grand lodge, l. o. O. F., at it's annual convention in Louisville next September, according to a state ment of Grand Sire Frank c. Goudy, of Denver, issued through the local committee on arrangements.
 The head of the order dwells upon she importance of the meeting to Odd Fellows, points out that transporta- ton companies can handle the expect ed 5000 delegates and. apparently to correct any misunderstanding, makes the definite statement the convention will be held.
 Never in the history of the order,'' the statement recites, Fwas there so much depending upon the assembling of American and Canadian Odd Eel Iowstip in annual convention In ad- dition to tE-ansacting the ordinary business that will come before the Sovereign Grand lodge. there will be q large volume of work to be done by our order acting in cooperation with the Red Cross and like asso- citations in furnishing relief to all who may be subjected to the horrors of this war. The fact that Odd Fellows will soon go to the front in protection of home and of civil and religious liberty. makes l. our highest duty to provide for them when injured in battle. failing in health or otherwise requiring the fraternal and helpful I care of our fraternity. The protec tion of our widows and orphans at this time is more essential than ever. so the duties devclving upon us rel atively are greater.
 'In view of existing conditions it is most imperative that the Sovereign Grand lodge meet this year for legis- lation and important matters that will confront us. Over s500.000 was contributed to the relief of brethren l during the past year and with the worlds calamity forced upon Ameri- 1 ca the succor to be extended during l the war will run into great figures.
 Tn view of the fact that transpor- tation companies will not be largely 1 terial and supplies in the early part | of October, when the cantonnerts will 1 open, the Sovereign Grand lodge will ] hold its session at Louisville Sep | tennber 17-22 as originally scheduled" 1

The Pressnt outIeek.

The present outlook is that Con- necticut will have record breaking potato crop and already. consumers are talking about buying potatoes for fifty cents a bushel. Froably there are enough potatoes that will be produced in the state this year. 70 more than half feed all of the peo- l,le resident in cities and towns who must purchase them. The talk about fifty cents a busheI is all nonsense. All consumers who have had a taste of high prices should be willing to pay from Sl.25 to S1.50 a bushel for t-e time years enough ago, when q co bushel was 9 fair price for p5ta- toes and when the farmer who could dispose of his crop without putting it into cellars made money at 75 cents a bushei. That time has pass cd and no farmer should be made 70 sell his crop this year for less than s1,90 a bushel and SIPS is none too murh for him to receive and S1.50 a buslel to the consumer !s 2 fair price as prices go for all stuff which is pro- duced to be eaten. Consumers should remember that there are other years must continue to eat and we have ell learned that rice or any other substi- tute does not take the place Of pota- toes What we aa consumers want is that the farmers shoGld receive e fair price for potatoes this year. 70 hat they will be inclined to keep on planting enough acreage until the point is reached where Connecticut will have enough potatoes grown ln ,he state te feed all of its people, Bristol Press.

The prospect of an eternal peace are not very brilliant, when two great peoples which hitherto did not think of main large armies are beginning to create them. Consequently after the war it will be our duty to safeguard ourselves and preserve for our de- scendants what we have fought for Reuter-.
