 !ooo Admlnlstrator Scoville, after oelng introduced by Mayor Quigley, informed the council he was greatly pleased to see such interest displayed m potatoes. He said that agriculture IS one of the most speculative ven- lures In the world and he sympa- tnlzed With the city because it's rosy plcture of heavy production of po- tatoes had been dissipated by cold lacts' such as drought, heavy rains and other vicissitudes
 AAo Se'io 4\eW Britain haQ learned by experience that the price of po- tatoes is not controlled by their cost and he proceeded to inform the mem- pers how the price is esta ablished. Connecticut and other states in New England lie between the great potato belt in Maine and the New York mar ket Despite this fact, Connecticut is unable to control the price, as the New York market takes care of that You can't control the price in New Britain,' he said, "but with your stored supply you can guard the city against two things, the breakdown in transportation service as we exper- fenced last winter and the temper of the local dealers. who will be re- strained from running up the price for fear your supply might be placed on the market"
 New Britain, MT. Scoville believed, had performed a laudable act and he expressed the wish other cities had done the same. But as to the price, he said he and MT. Landers had been extremely careful not to hazard a guess as to this.
 Your city is to be congratulated" {" he said in conclusion. You may have lost money but you have gained by focusing the attention of your people on the food situation"

NO "TURKEyLESS"
THANKSGIVING FOR HIM

To the Editor Of The Intclligcnccr:
sir-I notice that Mr.. Hoover is think
ing Of asking the Prcsidcpt to include
in his Thanksgiving proclamation q
clause requesting the people to abstain
from food. and instead Of fcasting. make
it a day Of fasting and prayer
I desire to say that prayer is all right.
and fasting also; but it appears to me
that the mother that has given her son
for service in UNFOLDING the honor OF
her country and bring to others the free
dom and blessings that she herself en-
Joys will be in a poor condition for
prayer il there rs added to tho sorrow
that has already come to her that of
seeing her children left without suf!i-
cient clothing for the winters cold. And
in many instances the sale Of the tur-
keys that she has watched over and
cared for during the summer months:
and the cash received for same are the
only means that the families OF many
Of the poor among the farming ten
ants have to buy books and clothing for
their children.
And a turkeylcss Thanksgiving means
that the market for the turkey will be
ruined And as before stated the peo-
pie who are depending on the turkey ic
zip out in this time of high prices will
be In poor condition for prayer:
There are very many little thing:
along lifc's way that are overlooked be-
cause or their smallness that are OF
great Importance TO many lives. not
withstandinE their srnallness. and hope
that the things that I have mentioned
will not be overlooked.

acts of the administration have been
advantageous to one section Of the
countr ~ and against another. Demo
Gratis of the North are inclined to re-
sent tax legislation which imposes an
undue burden upon Northern States
The South has been boasting of the
great prosperity which it will enjoy
as a result OF the sending OF troops
to Southern States for training. There
are numerous particulars in which the
administration policies have been
largely beneficial to the States that
can be depended upon to go Demo
cratic regardless Of candidates 1r
issues. II is quite probable, there
fore, that the administration will find
it necessary to put up in one section
of the country arguments radically
different from those advanced in an
other section. The breaking up OF the
campaign management into small d.
visions will facilitate the presentation
OF sectional pleas without increasing
dissatisfaction in other sections.
Whatever may be the real purpose
of the Democratic National Commit
tee. it is evident that while the Re

miss any opportunity to gain partisan

AN AMERICAN TARTUFFE

The lntelliseucer has frequently
had occasion to call attention to the
frivolous performance Of the non
partisan professions OF President
Wilson. and has always verified the
hypocrisy OF his assumptions. And
now while the Wilson administration
is asking Republicans to lay aside
partisan activity, the Democratic Ma
tional Committee is recognizing and
making detailed preparations for the
next campaign. It is near treason for
Republicans TO take any action look
ing towards the promotion OF party
interests, or strengthening the or
ganization in support Of the principles
for which the Republican party long
has stood. But Democrats are free
10 pursue their partisan activity in
preparation for partisan contests in
1918 and 1920. The latest move on
the part OF the Democratic Committee
is the division Of the states into eight
districts or zones, arranged chiefly
upon geographical lines. Just what
the purpose OF this is remains to be
seen.
BY breaking the organization up
into smaller units the administration
will be able TO make sectional argu-
ments more effective. Many of the

THE TREASURY QUACK

The official announcement OF the
result of the response to the second
Liberty Loan shows that it lacked
nearly s400,O00,0O0 of the maximum
amount set by the Treasury Depart
ment. It was a great success II We
take the oyer-subscription Of S1.617.-
$4,000 of the minimum amount Of
the issue. And here again comes the
peculiar policy adopted by Secretary
McAdoo in the first Liberty Loan.
who announces that only half Of the
oyersubscription will be accepted
This seems to be a very foolish and
unbusiuesslike proceeding. A bird in
the hand is worth two in the bush IN
financial affairs as we'll as other con-
templatiye situations in this life. The
only explanation that the Secretary
OF the Treasury offers for this queer
action is that as a matter OF policy
the. government must abide by the
announcement OF plans for the second
loan, made October /. in which it is
pointed out that the right is reserved
ITO allot additional bonds up to one
half the amount Of an over-subscrip
ton"
The only justification that can be
urged for such q policy would be that
the loan to be foated was 10 be ap-
Piled to a definite purpose whose
limitations we're covered by the
amount asked for. Now, when we
know that other loans are to follow.
how foolish it is to refuse any pat
OF an. over-subscripuon when an &C
ceptance OF the whole would relieve
the pressure on the people for the
succeeding demand. It was hard
enough, indeed, 10 secure the success
of the two loans that have been float
cd, without throwing away any OF the
results Of the energy spent upon
them. It is going to be more difficult
10 secure other loans unless a more
intelligent and practical promotion OF
them is pursued. Less hapdoodle and
more financial acumen is sadly need
ed in the Treasury Department. a de-
partment whose business should be
directed by real hnancier instead
of fakir.
