CAUCUSES TONIGHT

CELEBRATION IS SUCCESSFUL

Citizens, well informed on the po-
litical situation, remarked. this morn
Ing that the caucuses which are to be
held at the town hall tonight will be
the quietest staged here In the past
Ii years. Because of the more mo-
mentous questions which are con-
fronting the country, a lack of inter-
est in local elections is shown.
The only real contest looked for to-
night is for the office of first select
man. Supporters of Judge Willard I.
Alling, who is a candidate on the re-
publican ticket, were confident this
morning that he would be the choice.
They backed up their statements with
the arguments that Judge Alling has
given the town an economical admin
Tistration and will come through the
zpresent fiscal year with healthy bal
vance in the town treasury. They fur
ther asserted that the past year has
heen a. very difficult one for the Sc
kctmen because of the scarcity of Ia
kAa. and because of the high cost of
materials.
The supporters of Newton w. Bald
I WIN, who is to oppose Judge Alllng
for the nomination, prophesled that
their candidate will triumph tonight.
During the past few days campaign
Boosting his candidacy has been In
evidence and Mr.. Baldwin should be
able to gather large number OF
votes tonight. Mr. Baldwin's hackers
state that he would make an ideal Sc
lectman, since he has had consider
able experience in running the town
affairs, while second selectman under
the Gibney administration. The Bald
win supporters strongly argue that
r Judge Alling failed to keep the roads
in good repair, which accounts for
his having a good balance in the
treasury.
Aside from the selectmanship, 1t Is
believed that the same officials who
are at present in office will be renom-
mated tonight. George B. Carter.

HOW TO CONTROL
LICE IN GARDENS
TO RID THE GARDEN OF GREAT
MENACE IN VERY EASY
WAY.

In gardens last year, and in fact fol
several years. plant lice have been a
serious menace to turnips, eating ul
the greens. Plant lice are doing more
damage every year than is necessary
The particular louise that eats up
turnip greens can be very successfully
controlled by spraying with strong TO-
bacco and soap solution. There are
strong tobacco solutions known as MIC
otine sulphate, 1O-20-30-40% strength.
BY using the 40% strength one can
make very satisfactory spray by re
ducing 1t at the rate one one part mic.
otine to 500 parts of water. With
each three gallons of this mixture add
a cake of common laundry soap, dis
solved. AS the louise occurs on the
underside of the leaf as we'll as the
upper side, 1t is necessary that a very
spraying be made.
The squash vine borer can best be
by clean culture. The
vines of old plants should be de-
stroyed and any hiding-away places,
such as trash. piles of leaves, ETC.,
should be done away with. This
same treatment will apply to the Gu
cumber borer.-G. M. Bentley, ento-

Local produce dealers have received
advices from New York that show a
thoroughly demoralized poultry mar

result no local market here for hens.
The food boycotts and protests against
high prices are given as the causes
of this situation. Eggs are firm at
twenty-five cents.

DRAMA OF THE MIDDLE AGES
Miracle Plays Were Popular Among
the Great Guilds of England in
Fifteenth Century.

In England, during the middle ages
though no theaters were built, some
forms of dramatic entertainment were
extremely popular, and were carried
on with much splendor of dresses and
other properties. In the fifteenth cen
fury almost every one of the great
guilds or secret fraternities acted
some sort of miracle play, usually
chosen with reference to the patron
saint of the guild.
Inventories of the theatrical proper
ties OF some of these guilds still ex-
list, and in some cases the list includes
the most gorgeous silk and gold dam
asks and magnificent damascened
