 Milk Facts.
 MT. Editor: It is with amusement that I read some of the hot air stories which are printed from time to time on different subjects; but the one signed Bill takes the cake. In regard to the milk question. he should have signed Rip Van Wrinkle, when he claims the farmers are selling milk fact the Providence dealers are paying 1-2 cents per quart, delivered at the station platform; 3 1-2 cents was the price when cows were selling for s30 and grain $50 per ton. Now cows will bring s100 and grain S70 per ton. If farmers were paid according to union men you would be paying 25 cents per quart for milk. While union men work from six to eight hours. the farmer works IA hours.
 So, Billie. go to bed and have an- other dream and let your chin whiskers grow and you will be in the class where you belong.

sz#HeuARDINe THE SOLDIERS.

A dNcision has been reached by the general medical board of the council of 4aationa1 defense to the effect that 2 dry zone will be established about every military camp that is located in this country. It is intended that 1t will be something more than dry in name for it will be extensive enough so that it will be impossible for the soldiers to get to places where liquor is dispensed.
 Such 9 decision must be looked upon as cOmmendabIe. It takes into con sideration the fact that those who are in training must be protected. It be- Heves5 as has been the case in Europe that liquor does not contribute to the efficiency of the soldier and it pro- poses to do all that is possible to see that nothing is allowed which will in terfere with the effectiveness of the American army. whether 1t is in training or in the field.
 This is in keeping with the senti- ment which has been growing through out the country to the effect that u- quor should not be sold to men in uniform. The importance of this has been realized by the sa1oonkeepers themselves who have agreed not to make such sales. They know that men on guard duty, men who are stationed at important posts and who are relied upon to perform their duty must be in fit condition and this is exactly the position which is taken by the medi- cal board. There is no reason why there should be any letting down of the bars just because the soldiers may be in training camps. They need to be clearheaded then as we'll as when greater things are expected of then. and the time to establish such a reg ulation is at the very start. Rigid enforcement should be practiced from the beginning

RESPECT FOR GERMAN INTER
 ESTS.

l Germany has been putting consid- l erable emphasis on the fact that Americans and American interests in that country are to be respected re- gardless of the state of war that is existing but such even if it is car- ried out to the letter is no different than the stand which has been taken
 by this country regarding German subjects and German property. In each country aliens are required to respect the laws and when they do not do so they must expect that they will be made to.
 But no better demonstration of the kind of justice which this country can be relied. upon to deal out to German interests could be asked for than that which has been given in the case of the German vessels which were talk ing refuge in the Danish West Indies during the period of the war, and the decision of the United States supreme court in the case of the New York banks against the Kronprinz zessin Ce- cile.
 In the first instance with the ac- quisition of the islands the United States promised Denmark that these ships would not be 5aolested. That promise will be respected regardless of the manner in which Germany has chosen to act.
 In the second case it must be ap- parent to Germany that it's interests in the steamship which was carrying gold to England and France and which turned hack to avoid capture have been fully taken care Of This steam CT will be seized by this government the same as others have been but the company will not be required to pay E L. The court dealt with this matter as i1 there was no war or as if it was aA American ship and that of course yY6k the only proper way

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Let Us Have the Gas and Electric
 Report

Mir Editor: Every honest taxpayer and citizen of the city of Norwich is interested in the gas and electrical de- partment'S report. In these times when reforms, changes: and new ordinances have been coming thick and fast, the gas and electrical department got its usual amount of attention
 Some little time ago. after a great deal of agitation s1,000 was appro- priated to be paid out of the good money contributed by the taxpayers of this city. This amount was to be ex- pended for the investigation of our gas. and electrical department, because the citizens concluded that it was high time that some truth of the exact condition of the rights and wrongs of this department should come to light, and ar expert was hired to do this work.
 Now we are waiting for the report, and have been looking for it. The council meeting was held this week, but we are still waiting, though we understand that this report has been in the hands of proper authority for more than two weeks. and that that document which would be of interest to all the good citizens of our city. is still withheld for some reason which we would like to learn about
 Is there any good reason why every citizen should not know the condition of our gas and electrical department? If SO, why not tell us? If not, why not let us have the report? If the gas and electric department is in bad shape, we cannot get at it too soon, and get it right. If it is in good con flition, the citizens would like to learn the fact, and exonerate a great many of those who have been acting in the various capacities of that depa rtment. from the planes and insinuations which have been placed upon them.
 Mir. Mayor, let us have this report, if you have it. If not, why not get it and let us have the truth?

How to Plant.

Mir. Editor: Kindly allow me just a few lines to reply to over 50 valued correspondents. One answer will do for all. from H F. of Ashford to Mrs. M of East Lyme. Here it Is:
 Under no conditions would I plant corn, beans, peas, cabbage or tomatoes (set plants) this week. If. as you say. you have not been able to plant earlier owing to bad weather, then wait until after May 20th. The sooner you com mence to seed after that date, the bet ter. Now is the time to plant root crops. like beets, summer turnips, car rots and potatoes
 To the lady who says her garden is not plowed yet, would let 1t alone un- til about May Is; then harrow it good, destroy all early weeds and start plant ing just as soon after May 20 as pos- sible.
 To the several correspondents who ask how to stop beans getting buggy, I can Snly say about what the depart ment of agriculture has decided: They cannot be controlled in the field: the best destroyer Is heat and fumigation with bisulphid of carbon or hydrocyanic acid gas"
 Another way is to place the beans in water and heat to 135 or 40 de- grees F.
 The best way to settle the bean and pea bug question is to write to F. H. Chfttenden or L. O. Howard, Entomolo- gist, Dept. of Agriculture Washington, D. C., and ask him to send you Truck and Crop circular c. G.. also c. c.
 The use of bisulphid of carbon is very dangerous and should only be done by one thoroughly understanding it, and under such directions as are given in circular c. C., mentioned above. thank you all for your kind latters. Yes. I am only. too willing to help any amateur gardener, even go so far as to help him plant
 This is going to be grand growing season and your. crops will all be bountifuI ones if you seed properly and at the right time. Ask someone you can trust tnot every dealer) about fertilizer and keep out the weeds and other pests.
