RECORD WILL BE KEPT
OF ALL SUGAR USED
Dealers To Furnish Local Food
Director With Report of
Purchases.

Beginning with November first,
each and every householder in the
town of North Canaan will be expect
ed to keep account of what sugar
purchases they make and to see that
they do not exceed the amount al
lowed them on a basis of two (2)
pounds per each person per month.
All dealers are furnishing the Of
flee of the local food director with
a list of what sugar sales they make
so that records may be had which
will show any and all violations.
Owing to the immense amount of
work which is necessary in keeping
these records and other business that
must be handled by the food direct
or's office. they can not furnish house
holders with information as to the
amount of sugar they have purcased.
All violatins of the .two-pound-per-
person for thirty days law, will mean
that the parties guilty will have their
privilege of purchasing sugar sus-
pended for period to be determin-
ed by the extent of the violation.
Persistent violations will necessi-
tate stringent action.

QUENTIN ROGER DIES
SUDDENLY IN WINSTED
Former Canaan Boy Expires As
He Answers a Tele-
phone Call.

Quentin Roger, 10, died very sud-
denly while answering a telephone
call in Chapin's garage, Winsted last
Saturday evening about z o'clock.
He had suffered for years from
heart trouble, which caused his death.
Quentin was born in East Canaan
July 10, 1899, son of Mr.. and Mrs.
John Roger. His father died about
sixteen years ago of pneumonia at
East Canaan and about five years
ago his mother moved to Winsted,
where he attended school, later enter
ing the employ of the New England
Knitting Co., and finally the garage
of George Chaplin as chauffer and re-
pair man.
Quentin lived at the home of his
sister, Mrs. Percy Stanton for a time
and had a wide circle of friends and
a number of relatives who mourn
his death. Last Friday he came here
to be examined with other men in
the Selective Service from Winsted,
and apparently was in good health.
He was anxious to enter the army
and the examining physician, knowing
his condition, placed him in limited
service.
Besides his mother, he is survived
by two sisters, Mrs. John Logan of
Winsted and Mrs. P. L. Stanton of
East Chatham, N. Y. and a brother,
David H. Roger of Southbury, Conn.,,
and a number of relatives in this
town and Millerton, N. Y.
The funeral was held from his
late home on Main street in Winsted
Monday afternoon and burial was in
the family plot in Millerton, N. Y.

FIRE SUNDAY CAUSES
NO LITTLE EXCITEMENT
Barn is Destroyed and Several
Houses Catch on Fire
From Sparks.

Fire destroyed the barn belonging
to John Van Deusen on Church ST.,
at noon Sunday which undoubtedly
originated from sparks from passing
locomotive. The barn was located
within less than twenty feet from
the railroad track and it is a mys-
terry that it was not burned before.
The extremely dry weather of late
gave the slightest spark an oppor-
tunity to start a confiagration and
If it had not been for the prompt
action of the Fire Department, the
consequences might have been very
serious.
A quantity of apples, potatoes and
some wagons which had been stored
in the barn, were nearly all saved
by neighbors and the firemen. A
quantity of hay in the loft of the
barn was destroyed and added great
" to the intensity of the heat. 1t
was the hottest small fire seen here
in some time.
4 Trees, telephone poles and the roofs
of houses block from the scene of
the fire became ignited and caused
considerable excitement for time.
The fremen deserve much credit for
the able manner in which they hand
led a difficult situation and the town
is fortunate in having such an effic-
department.

HOW LOCAL FARMERS
MAY DISPOSE OF WHEAT
Licensed Millers May Deal in
Wheat Flour and Similar
Commodities.

Connecticut farmers who have
grown wheat or other grain should
have no trouble, if they understand
the United States Food Administra-
ton regulations, in disposing of their
wheat or wheat substitutes. This
was explained today at the office of
Federal Food Administrator Robert
Scoville,, which has received many
inquiries from all sections of the state
asking how bread grains grown in
Connecticut should be marketed and
how farmers might dispose of their
surplus wheat. Any farmer who is
having difficulty in disposing of his
grain or whodoes not understand how
he may handle his wheat next year
is urged to communicate directly all
the facts in the case to the Milling
Division, United States Food Admin
istration, Hartford.
The first answer to all inquiries is
that every mill in the state should be
licensed; milling wheat or rye with
out a license is violation of the Food
Administration regulations and it is
known that there are a number of
mills in Connecticut which are not IL
censed. The license costs nothing and
when licensed, a miller may within
within the rules and regulations deal
in wheat -four and similar commodi-
ties.
Connecticut is by no means one of
the great wheat growing states and
the wheat and rye grown in this state
last year, although a very material
increase over recent years, was really
the product of war gardens on a
large scale. There is no competi-
ton in wheat milling in Connecticut
and the pledge which the wheat grow
er must give to the wheat miller is
so modified and interpreted for Con-
necticut that sufficient elasticity of
enforc eheat is secured to cover any
possible Connecticut-ci circumstance.
Farmers throughout he state might
well increase their 1919 crops of
wheat and rye and there will be no
technical difficulties over Food Adj
ministration rules and regulations
when the farmer comes to put his
wheat ON thaa maEl<at-@~@4ssFsaA =.
BY signing pledge in the form
prescribed by the Food Administra-
ton agreeing to use the same amount
OF wheat flour substitutes as other
cons mers in all wheat bread, farm
ers may secure their supply of wheat
flour ineXchange for their own wheat.
There is no objectin to the long
time custom of farmers exchanging
their own wheat for their supply of
flour, provided they accept at the
same time one pound of substitutes
for each four pounds of wheat flour.
because such substitutes cannot al
ways be handled by small country
mills, tie Food Administration is will
ing to accept the farmers pledge of
strict compliance with the program
of the Food Administration and per-
nit the delivery of flour without
substitutes in cases where they have
grown their own substitutes and
promise to use them the same as in
other households. Any farmer I'M
willing to sign this pledge may of
course obtain his wheat -four in the
open marget the same as other in
dividuals.

TRIBUTE TO FIR. BANNON
Former Pastor f St. Joseph's Cath
Ollie Church.


Father Bannon has made the su-
preme sacrifice and given his life in
the discharge of his duties. This
sacrifice cannot go unnoticed here
where he labored lovingly for quar-
ter of a century. We feel that the
state has lost one of its best citizens,
the church one of it's noblest priests.
His influence will remain and will be
felt long hence. The harmony ex-
listing today in our community be-
tween the people of all faiths is due
in no small measure to his example
and his teachings. His mourning
friends outside of his church are le-
gion.
His personality combined the quail
tiles so essential to the leader and to
the healer. His jovial friendliness
drew people of all ranks to him. His
natural dignity of manner never al
lowed one to forget that he was first
the priest and then the pleasant COM
rade.
His faith in God and his tender
sympathy brought healing balm to
every home of sorrow in this parish
for more than twenty years. Of
himself, he never thought when others
needed him. His long, hard drives in
severe winter here undermined a
naturally fine physique so that he
was unable to cope with this dread
plague. AS truly for US, as for the
people of his late parish, did he lay
down his life.
He was a straight thinker. No
prejudice entered his soul to warp his
true, sane judgment. This in aim,
was recognized. This, it was, that
drew all to him TO radvice. This, it
was, that exerted such a splendid in
fluence for good in the civic life of
the community.
AS his life shows the straight way
to usefulness, so his death points the
truth of his own often-times repeated
motto: "Finis coronat opus"
