CENSOR FOR CABLES AND MAIL


 That the conferees on the trading add thereto an amendment providing for the censorship of all outgoing and incoming cable messages and letters shows that they have taken into con sideraticn the necessity of shutting .off~tflis important avenue for render ing assistance to the enemy and have acted wisely for the protection of the interests of this country and its all lies.
 It is known that information has reached the enemy in time to have it do it's best to sink our destroyers and our transports. The information was gathered in this country by observ- CTS or spies and was transmitted through some of the neutral nations either by means of code messages or by wireless. It is also fully under stood how Argentina and Mexico have been duped and what valuable aid has been secured through certain di- plomatic representatives of Sweden.
 It is therefore high time that such a censorship as proposed should be put into effect. We have got to look out for ourselves. We must take all Ikecautions to insure the safety of our troops and our ships. If the cables are being used either by suspected or unsuspected spies for such work the thing to do is to stop it at once. and the same holds true of the mails. Lax ity in such matters has doubtless cost us much in the past but all such ave- nues should be closed in the future. We must use the effective means to crush the unseen enemy at home.

FAITHFUL SERVANTS SHOULD
 BE RETAINED,

The taxpayers and voters of Nor wich have reason to feel per- fectly satisfied over the forth coming report of the board of se- Iectmen for the past year. It will show that they have not only given the closest attention to the conducting Of the towns affairs, on a business basis, with the same care and pru- dence that would be given to the run ming q private corporation, but that they have maintained all the de- partments in the same commendable manner. s --
 Especially striking is the fact that in spite of the increased cost of 1a- bor and material there has been a reduction in the town debt of over s27,0o0 which means the looping off of a considerable item of expense for interest in the future.. but in addition thereto, and this fact cannot be lost sight of. all the bills of the town have been paid and there remains in the treasury for the purpose of being ap- piled to the expenses of the ensuing year the sum of s2s,12261- Balances of course may be large and amount to little if there are unpaid bills which have got to be met, but that con-. tingency is net faced by the next board of selectmen. The present board has taken care of all it's bills and some of it's predecessors and has the equivalent of over a mill and a half tax on which to do business this com ing year.
 This fact, in view of the excellent manner in which the town needs have been looked after. cannot fail to make It's impression upon the townspeople It has capable and efficient men in Casper K. Bailey and Charles F. Bush nell and it is for the towns interest that they should be retained in office for another term.

THE QUESTION or FOOD.

Food Administrator Hoover un- doubtediy hits the nail on the head when he declares that the food ques- tfon is going to be one of the deciding factors in the war This has been a matter of supreme importance throughout the whole contest. It has been recognized by both sides but up to now 1t has been impossible to bring as much pressure to bear upon it as through the legislation which has been adopted by tne United States. :.
 Do what they would it had been impossible for the allies to sbut off he supplies that were being received oy Germany from the neutral 5coun- :ries. The embargo was of much
 ,enefit but it failed to shut off every hing. Neutral nations were draw ng from this country and sending uch goods or their equivalent to the central spo~ers for the support not nly of the npn-combatants but for he maintaining of the army.
 But food, as MT. Hoover says, has raduaf1y assumed a larger place in he economies, the statesmanship and he strategy of warfare.

ARGENTINA SENTIMENT.

Areentina's feelings appear to be pretty well represented by the de- cfsive vote which has been taken in the senate calling for the severance of diplomatic relations with Germany The g ballots favorable to the one in opposition to such action does not indicate any great sympathy for the German cause and the policies which that country stands for. But the ac- tion of the senate only increases the interest fin the same matter when it comes before the chamber of deputies
 Argentina of course has every req son to be aroused. Up to the dis closures which were made by this country there was a certain amount of pro-German sentiment in that country. Advantage had been taken of Argentina's neutrality to spread German propaganda throughout South anxious to have that neutrality main tained Is disclosed in the way in which the German government agreed to pay for the loss of an Argentine steamship and promised that no more submarine attacks wcslld be made upon its shipping.
 This was the salve which was ex- pected to cover up the actions of Count Luxburg in recommending the sinking of Argentine shipping with out leaving 8 trace" and possibly oth- CT similar moves against that nation of which no revelations have been made. That 1t would have succeeded is probable had not this Country shown up Germany's methods Argentina now, however, appears to realize the manner in which it has been hood winked. One such lesson is enough in the opinion of the senate, and it is impossible to see how the chamber of deputies can view it otherwise

resorted to by all the be1liserents but the allies now have the upperhand and they are determined to maintain it. Food is necessary for the sus- tenance of life and it is required for the fighting forces but when 1t can not be obtained it Is bound to be as effective in bringing about peace as a great victory on the battlefield.

OTHER VIEW POINTS

The federal farm loan board is l working to capacity to prepare it's elaborate farm mortgage machinery to be in readiness to meet the great demand for money from farmers who for American arms in the present war by eliminating doubt from the food situation. These farmers plan to obtain money on long term mortgages through the new rural credits system, so that they will have the Steed, i'm plements and machinery, and can pay the labor to produce foodstuffs to fill the granaries of all the allies. The big campaign which has just been launched by the department of agri- culture for a billion bushei crop of wheat next year can be fully success ful without the aid of the federal farm loan board. Neither can the move ment for increased production of food animals run smoothly unless the American farmer is financed. Realiz- ing this situation, the twelve federal land banks which are the agencies through which the farmers obtain money are tuning up their binding ma chinery in anticipation of the winters business.-New Britain Record.

had real surprise in the garden just preceding the September frost when I heard issuing from the thick foliage the old familiar cry of "Pee-wee! Pee wee!" and I was aware the bright little fly catcher, the Phoebe bird, was in the neighborhood hunting food. He was doubtless get ting ready to fly to his winter resort among the Carolina mountains, The Phoebe is one of the few birds said to take a mate for life, but satisfactory proof of this is not forthcoming. The males arrive in the spring a week or ten days ahead of their. mates. They love to build on the side of a cliff, or on the stringers beneath a bridge; and like the swallows enjoy a place in the barn or wagon house. I have never before heard one in our neighborilood.

WAR TIME NERVOUSNESS

In these war times many people are
living IN an unnatural condition of
nervous excitement. Unless some
thing is done to correct it the newt
able result will be nervous break
down, an exhaustion of nervous en-
crgy that may take u very serious and
unforeseen turn.
Neurasthenia is one such result nth
its accompaniment of worry, irrita-
bility, oyersensitiveness and severe
headache. 1t means that the patient
has lost the power TO recoverand store
up energy. The condition will grow
worse if not corrected.
The treatment is one of nutrition of
the nerve cells, requiring non-alco-
hole tonic. As the nerves get their
nourishment from the blood the treat
ment must be directed towards build
ing up the blood. DIR. Williams Pink
Pills act directly on the blood and
have proved of the greatest benefit in
many cases of neuraSthenia. A ten
dency to anemia, or bloodlessness,
shown by most neurasthenic patients,
is also corrected by these tonic pills.
