THE FOOD PLEDGE.

The food pledge is making its way
very rapidly with the whole Amerl-
can people, but the terrible world
emergency behind it has not yet come
home to all of us. Living in land
which now has the largest remaining
stock of food in the world, we are a
little slow to realize that this stock
we see fit, but must be divided with
countries where famine is constant
haunting specter. We live in the
midst of plenty this year. But famine
or two years from'now, it may be in
our own land unless we can realize
the full Significance of food saving
today and adjust our habits to pro-
vide for tomorrow.
Every provision of the food pledge
from wheat to soap fats, has been
carefully. thought out after detailed
study of the worlds supply of food
today and it's probable supplies for
several years to come.
Butter must be conserved because
the worlds stock of edible fats is rap
idly diminishing and an increased
production can not be secured eX-
cept by organized effort in the dairy
and allied industries extending over
several years.
Sugar must be conserved because
there is a serious, immediate short
age.
Every available medium for keep
ing the food pledge before every man
woman, and child in the United
States must be used during the whole
period of war and even for consid-
erable period afterwards. For this
problem of saving fool is a RESPONSE
bility put upon everyone.

A BAG OF VIOLETS,

The bags of this season are of every shape and kind: but one seen the oth- CT day stood out as something new and different. It was made of laven- der silk gathered with heading and draw string at the top and gathered again at the bottom. The lower half of the bag was completely covered with Miiliner's violets, so that the bot tena of the bag looked like a bed of vioiets. The effect was so unusual that 1t made the bag distinctive. An same lines was Of old blue silk. ard the middle of the bag had been stiff tened with an inch wide band of buck fes1. which was covered with tiny ar tthcial roses packed tightly together. 10th bags were finished with a tas- sel sewed to the bottom of the bag.

BRAZIL IN THE WAR,

With only one dissenting vote in ths chamber of deputies, the Brazil Ian government in support of the ad- vice of it's president has declared war against Germany. This is in keep Ing with the previous steps which have been taken by that country and henceforth it will be in line with the entente nations and the United States in opposing the Prussianization of the world. The previous steps which were taken by that country had much in- auence upon the other nations of South America. even as did the ac- ton of the United States in entering he war. and 1t iss highly probable that Brazil's entrance into the war will nave still more influence.
 It is not to be supposed that Brazil will contribute much. if anything, in he way of fighting force. It has m army and much in the way of re- Iources, but 1t is probable that the most serious effects of this latest Itsp will be the further iso,ating of sern1any from the rest Of the world.

Views of the Vigilantes
THE WIDE OPEN DOOR.
sy R.lph Barton Perry,

It is now regarded in sofaae quarters as evidence of intellectual advance nent to smile condesesadingly at those who decinirn about patriotism, liberty, fraternity and equality. But never before have these things pos sessed 50 much substAree and so much truth as today. Liberty as self government. as willing euorr: :ssion to self imposed law and to benofirent in stitut!ons Is more clearly than ever the only escape from the opposite cal afnities of license and tyranny. Fra ternity. or tke sense of fellowship and mutual dependence is the only thing which can save our human relations from the meanness of ebsequiousness ard from the hatefulness of arrogance. Equality. the recognition of the com mon lot and the common humanity, the wide open door Of opportunity, re- mains the only gospel by which men may be saved from the bitterness of undeserved failure or the false pride Of undeserced success. These are more than ever the precious things, the things worth living and dying for. the things we love and call American; 1; and patriotism is more assuredly than ever the most powerful force by which they may be kept alive and safe in the world.

AHMED MERCHANTMEN.

Not all the fighters are to be found aboard the warships of this country. This has been repeatedly demonstrated in numerous instances where mer- chentmen have either sunk or driven rff the submarines which have come up to attack them. but perhaps in no more striking a manner than that re- pealed in the case of the American steamer which has just reached a French port with several of its crew injured and the vessel and cargo somewhat damaged but nevertheless saved from being sent to the bottom.
 This was not accomplished without a hard struggle or without assistance hut for four hours the gun crews of that ship showed equal fighting abil- jty with its adversary. exchanging shot and so manoeuverins that 1t was impossible for. the underwater boat to get into position for launching tor pedo. Although they were fighting under unequal terms the merchantmen being a far better target than the small underwater boat, the steamship must be given credit for it's magnf- ficent fight even though the U-boa. was not sunk. That the merchantmen would have been sunk but for the timely arrival of the American de- the satisfaction of knowing that 1t was able to prevent disaster of that kind untiN help could be secured. The honors are all with the merchantmen and there could not have been a bet ter demonstration of the wisdom of arming such vessels for the purpose of contending with the submarine menace. It shows exclusively what self protection can accomplish.

Berlin has been doing its best to re- tain it's friendships in South America. It Is true that it has been usfne pe- culiar meti1cds in do4f1k sos and these nave reacted asAinst 1t. but it under stands nevertheless what 1t means to nave Brazil line up with it's enemies and therefore make it rnore dfnfcHft to regain it's comfhercial standing Af- ter the war is over.
 There are today vefy few nations which are holding t6 neutrality.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
A Happy Solution.

MT. Editor: Well, Neighbnr Cum mings says he is through and I am sure we are all willing to let the sub ject drop and would nave done 50 long ago had he been willing.
 Ever since the outbreak of the pres ent European war he has from time to time been coming out with fulsome laudstions of Germany with all her atrocities and barbArsties and bitter denunciations of the nation whose army and navy have stood between us and our enemy
 Since the United States entered the conflict he has realized that an open espousal of Germany's cause is not permissible and has confined himself to the congenial occupation of stab bing one of our allies.
 He belongs to that class which al- low their passions and prejudices to blind them to the real issue at stake whether Germany with her militarisrn and frightfuIness shall rule the world. It seems somewhat strange that. with their love for Germany and all her forks, they have rot made their home in that favored land instead of here. We could probably have strug- gled along <.tthout their presence. But as "J. H. has kindly agreed to quit we win say no more.
 Respectfully,

Trolley Rate. to Norwich Town.

Mir. Editor: In pursuance of the suggestion Of many citizens of Nor wich Town the writer has decided to call public meeting to protest against the increase of railway fare and for the purpose of taking measures to secure a fair hearing for the peoples side of the case.
 The increased rate means consider necticut. Each citizen of Norwich Town who is employed in Norwich usually rides to his or her work. Let us suppose that one rides twice a day The extra two cents will mean an in- creased expenditure of SIP a year. Of course nearly everyone will ride more frequently than this, but I give the in Greeneviile the increased expense will be $24 d year. Many men who are heads of large families have told tie writer that the increase will mean about $S0 year to them.
 About eight years ago the writer had a years experience in a depart ment store and he knows that some girl clerks, are paid wage of s5 a week. The seven cent fare win ff,ea n that some of them will be obliged to work three weeks for the means of paying the increased fare charged them to ride to work. When we figure the fare at seven cents. provided they ride twice daily fer 300 days a year
 
 each of them. This means that these girls work two months or one sixth = of a year for the privilege of riding il, order that. they may work. Rtdicu- Ious! Preposterous!
 Some members of the chamber of commerce ought to oppose the in creased fare for the sake of some of their employees as we'll as because it is driving trade away.
 If tho Shore Line Electric Go. found it absolutely necessary to increase the fare why did they not inauGurate what is known as working hours?" By this I mean that between 5 and a. rn and between and : D. in. the fare ought to remain at Ave cents.
 All who have anything to say for CT against the increased fare ought to attend the public meeting and make themselves heard.
 The cornpany's policy in raising the rate means thousands of dollars an nually to the citizens and I have no doubt that all who can will attend the meeting. If the building is not large enough to accommodate the crowd we will go outside.
 Therefore I call on as many of the citizens of Norwich Town, Yartic and Fitchvflle and as many others as may be interested in the matter to convene in public meeting in the Noah Wrh- ater club building at the Norwich Town Green, for the purpose Of talk ing whatever steps seem proper tp them, on Tuesday evening, October 30th, at o'clock

A LESSON FOR NEW ENGLAND.

In view of the difficulty which. cer- tain sections of the country are ex- periencing in getting fuel, added at- te1tion is directed to the accomplish ments of the St. Paul railroad system running over the Rockies, where on the section Of the road which hos been electrified there has been q saving of over 1000 tons of coal. or as the statement declares a sufficient amount to send 90 ocean liners of 13, o0g tons displacement each from this country to France. This saving has been ef- fected because that railroad has been using wAterrower instead Of steam. It is in that section where there is an abundance of natural facilities and it has taken advantage of the streams for the establishment of f1ydro-eleceric stations for the movement of it's trains. On another division which has also been electrified there has been saving Of 45o.ooo barrels of Gil and oll a third division when the identification is completed an annual saving of 375,6o0 barrels of oil will be effected.
 This is a magnificent accomplish ment It is a lesson in conservation of resources such as should inspire others to do likewise. And what sec tion of the country needs it more than right here in New England? For centuries water power has been flow ing to waste in great volume. The opportunities for harnessing the streams have not been taken advan- tage of as they should be. but with fuel soaring in price and a shortage threatened it is time that much more serious thought was given to this mat ter.
