Farmers Will Get
$3.50 Per bushel
For Castor Beans
Director of Aircraft Production 80
Informs Senator Fletcher IN
Official Letter.

Washington, D. c., Oct. l7.-Sena-
tor D. U. Fletcher today made pub
lie the following letter from the d.
rector of aircraft production, which
is of great Importance to castor bean
raisers in Florida:
"A complete reply to your several
recent communications, concerning
the prices being paid to farmers who
have made contracts with the signal
corps for the planting of castor
beans, was of necessity delayed be.
cause of the fact that the bureau of
aircraft production had already I'M
dertaken a thorough investigation CT
this subject.
"The reports of the large force of
officers who have for months past
been acting as inspectors Of these
castor beans growing contracts have
been from time to time carefully
weighed and considered, and as the
harvesting of the crop commenced it
became apparent that the farmers in
several sections Of the country would
not realize their expectations in the
size of the harvest.
Having concluded that the yield
per acre of castor beans would be
less than anticipated by the contrac
tors and farmers, it was determined
after carefully weighing the reports
of our inspectors, that the price orig
inally agreed upon, namely $500 pei
bushel to the farmer should be in
creased in order to afford fairel
basis of return to those who had Tin
dertaken to supply portion of the
castor oil, which the government re
quires.
"rhe best possible date regardin,
planting, cultivating and harvestin,
the crop have been compiled for ev
cry section of the country and tn,
most careful consideration has beef
given the subject from all points o
view, with the result that a decision
has been reached to pay the farmer
$3.50 per bushel and to pay the gen
eral contractor rs cents per bushe
for all castor beans delivered to tn
government under their contract. al
increase of 80 per cent to each owe
the prices at which the origina
contracts we're made"

ANNIVERSARY OF
 THE DISASTER TO STEAMER TITANIC

It was six years ago today that the liner Titanic went down, after having struck an iceberg off the Newfound- land Banks while on her maiden voy- age from Southampton to New York. The disaster cost the lives of 1,535 men, women and children and the hor- TOT of it plunged the whole civilized world into mourning. That the largest vessel ever launched up to that time could be- involved in a disaster so complete, in spite of all the safe guards provided by science for the protection of those who go down to the sea in ships, was another striking demonstration of the futility of all at tempts of puny man to triumph over the great, blind forces of Nature. That human beings could join in such grim work of destruction was a thought that would have seemed preposterous and incredible to world grief-strick- en by the tidings of the Titanic dis aster. It remained for the Prussians to do designedly what nature did in her blindness when they sank the Lusitania, which resulted in the loss of more than thousand lives and the sinking of which will stand recorded forever as one of the greatest crimes in the history of man.

FRESH ASSAULT MADE BY HUNS
 ON BAILLEUL

With the British Army in France, April 1.-The latest phase of the battle of Armentieres is determin- ed German attack in the direction of Bailleul from the south. Tester days all day of fighting resulted in the retirement of the British forces farther west of Merville.
 The enemy made a fresh assault early last night with the intention of occupying the great forest of Nieppe, but gained only few hun dred yards at the expense of heavy casualties and the British front this morning lies in front of the forest.
 The fighting today evidently is tn- tended to give the Germans an oppor- tunity to get around the British posi- tions in the Ypres salient, which is strongly held.
 Neuve Eglise was the scene of a hand to hand struggle which resulted in the Germans getting a fcothold in the village, but enemy frontal attacks on the Messines ridge were beaten off.
 By a counter attack the British and French south of the river Somme yesterday afternoon recaptured Han gard, which the Germans had strongly fortified. The Allied forces also took which was full of machine guns. Some prisoners were taken.

STAMFORD

Stratford, April 1.-The installa- ton of officers of the Argus club took place recently at the club rooms. The meeting was largely attended. Nine new members were admitted, among them being c. Claire Thompson, su- perintendent of the public schools. The organization has a membership p of 70. The following officers were in stalled: President, H. W. Pardy vice president, P. A. Skinner; record ing secretary, c. A. Cowdery; financial secretary, R. Edman; executive com mittee, Thomas H. McQuillan, J. H. Robson and George Mooney.
 Following the installation several important matters as regards the inn provement of the district in which the members reside, were discussed with First Selectman James Lally, who was present. Among the most important was the repairing of West Broad street and the laying of side walks on that thoroughfare. First Selectman Lally told the members that he has been assured from the State Highway Commission that AO%]A AAoAAA e1'S S4AOC VIII OS pdNSue IAl1s summer and the top dressing which will be removed, will be used on West Broad street. There are at present | many holes and ruts in the stree which makes travelling almost i'm. possible especially during rainy weather. The selectman was alst asked why sidewalks ordered at { town meeting several years ago were not laid on West Broad and Colon! streets. Every effort is being madt to go ahead with this work" said Mir Lally, "but there is no money avail able. He assured the club that th' sidewalks will be laid as soon as tn, selectmen get any money.
 For the past several years Wes Broad street near the railroad track 1 has been used as public GH1mp" fo the throwing of tin cans, ashes, gar l bage and other refuse. Complain of this practice was made to F'irs
 Selectman Lally who informed hi listeners that this would be discon tinued. Sings will be posted forbid ding any persons to dispose of an

COXEY, LEADER OF ARMY OF COMMONWEALTH,
 64 TOMORROW

Jacob s. Coxey, the famous leader of the equally famous army, was born in Snyder county, Pa., April IS, 1854, and will be GA years old tomorrow. The orce celebrated political agitator who led the Army of the Commonwealth" to Washington in 1894, has become a wealthy manufacturer of Massillon, Ohio.
 "GeneraI' Coxey's first appearance in the glare of publicity was in 1894, when he assumed the role of cham pion of the unemployed. Coxey planned to organize what he called the Army of the Commonwealth" to be composed of jobless men. This force was to march on Washington and demand of Congress that it take measures for their relief. General" Coxey appointed a day in March for starting the march from Massilon, his home town, to enlist under his banner. Some of them were honest and worthy men who were unemploy- ed because of no fault of their own, and some were political visionaries of various kinds and degrees, but the majority were just plain "bums," chronic "hoboes" who held perpetual membership in the order of q Won't Works" For a time it seemed that Coxey would gather together a really imposing army, but the enthusiasm of most of the contingents died out long before they reached MassiIlon. Colonel Fry's detachment of several thousand men from the West got as far as the Mississippi, when three weeks of con- stant rains dampened the ardor of the men so effectually that only handful reached the Great Headquarters. When Coxey gave the order to marcl only about 400 followed him. Som' of them dropped by the wayside, bu recruits took their places in thu ranks, and there were still about 40 in line when the general led hi motley army into the capital Coxe was arrested for attempting to mak a speech from the Capitol steps an spent a month in jail. When he wa released not a corporars guard wa left of his army, and he returned t Ohio, where he ran for governor O the Populist ticket. Since then h has devoted most of his time and tai ents to building up the manufacturin business which has made him a ma
 of wealth and standing.

Liberty Loan over-subscribed.

Stratford has over-subscribed it's allotment in the Liberty Loan drive. Announcement of this fact was made Saturday evening by Chairman Elliott W. Peck. Sixty-one thousand dol lars has been subscribed. The towns quota was set at $57, 400. Stratford is now entitled to honor place with the cities and towns that have all ready over-subscribed. The next ob- jective will be a star on the honor flag. The town which over-sub- scribes it's allotment, and at least ten per cent. of the population procures bonds, is entitled to an honor flag.
 Charles Warner, representing the Baird Machine Co.,, purchased $25,- 900 worth of bonds Saturday for the employees. Much of the success of the campaign is due to the hard and persistent work of the Minute Wom- en of the town who labored unremit- tingly since last Wednesday.
