 Win Benefit by Bill.
 Killingly is. one of the towns that will benefit if the bill passes now getting consideration in congress and providing that aliens of cooperating countries be drafted for service against Germany in the war. It may be stated however, that this districts to nationalities that make it up, There are many. though. in the district who are of military age who are not anx-' inus to put on uniform and to do their bit for Uncle Sam.
 Wood to be Cheaper.
 Here is cheering prophecy from a man who is in such clcse touch with whereof y he speaks: Wood is going, to be cheaper in Killingly before winter is far advanced. The prices now be- ing charged vary from s7.5o to ss q though. great deal of wood is cut md is ready fer marketing Many people, fearful that they will not be able to get wood this winter, are buy ing now and paying the long price and in short time most of the buyers will have been supplied. Then there will come a falling off in the demand and prices very probably will take. drop. I look for the price of wood to drop to about SC a cord by the time real cold weather sets in."

 To illustrate the fundamental hon esty of the democratic party and the story going the rounds in. the neigh boring town of> Brooklyn relative to the engaging by a republican candi- date of a jitney driver to. bring the republican candidates supporters to the polls and of the subsequent "ar- rangement" between the jitneur and a democratic candidate under which the; !itneur forgot to go after the re. publican candidates supporters and bring them to the polls. This is mak- ing the world safe for democracy with a vengeance!
