completed in time to operate in that year. The year 1918 will probably record the resumption of the com mercial production of peat fuel in this country.
 The demand for peat for use as fer tilizer and as stock food is steadily increasing as it's value is becoming better appreciated. and in view of the condition of the commercial- -fertilizer market, of the unprecedented growth of the peat industry in 1917, and of the good results reported by many who used peat in that year the out look is good for still greater ex- pansion in 1918.
 Sometimes the popularity of a fad depends on the amount of fooIishness there is back of it.

PEAT FOR USE AS FUEL.

Although small quantities of peat were prepared for use as fuel in ex-

IN NEW QUARTERS
Post Office Force Speeds Up on
 Moving.


 The postoffice force. having made q quick shift of base of operations, was doing business in the new quarters in the town hall building on Thursday morning. Patrons were being served in manner that was very satisfac- tory, considering the handicap under which the office force was working, and considering that about nine per sons out of ten couldn't remember or
 hadn't learned the combinations of
 the boxes assigned to them. All of these, of course. had to apply to the
 clerical force for aid in getting their mail, but the hard worked postal men met all courteously and helped them out of their difficulties.
 The new office and it's arrangement and fixtures was favorably comment ed upon by many visitors. The inter- for working space is well fitted up the fixtures being such as to please
 the men who are engaged here in the | handling of the mails.

 Mrs. Rienzi Robinson said Thursday that women of Danielsoh have signed pledges for over 18,000 quarts of veg etabies and other food products to be canned during the present season, as an aid to building tip the country $ flood reserves. Goodyear women have pledged themselves to can more than 1000 quarts, so these two cofht1uni- ties of Killingiy have total pledges in excess of 10000 quarts.

 Town's Expenses to Be Offset by Tax

 During the present week the select men of the town of Killingly have been going over the towns financial records for the past twelve months, and are encouraged by the prospect t4lcSL IIlC CS 1Ol IIlS IlSCdl year that closed Wednesday, will be within the amount of money that the tax rate should produce. Of course exact figures are not yet available, but the indications are that the town may have as much as 5000 on the right side of the ledger this year. This will be very pleasing news to many tax payers and a demonstration of the wisdom of advancing the tax rate, for Killingly's debt has been increasing year by year until it has reached a total altogether too large to please many prudent men among the citi- zens who have to pay KiIling1y's bills

Of 1t being present. oxygen. water and

The fact that the people of the

July, August, September md October
consumption of sugar proves conclu'
slvely that their war conscience was
thoroughly awakened and that the
country as whole stood ready to fol
low the injunctions of the Government.
Our normal consumption of sugar In
the four-month period beginning with
July has been 100000 tons per month,
total of 100000 for the quarter
year.
In July, when our sugar strngency
began to reach Its height, consumption
was reduced to 100000 tons. In An.
gust only $4,000 tons went into dis.
trIbutIon and In September only 279,'
600 tons. In October the distribution
fell to 100000 tons.

observe the injunctions OF the Food

II would be absolutely impossible to
reduce consumption to point where
sugar would no longer be mere lux,

Few accomplishments OF the Food
Administration will stand forth so pre-.
dOminantly as this reduced consump'
ton Of sugar. by 1t we have been able
to bridge over the period Of stringency

Now the nation Is In a position ~
that II we choose we may return TO
our normal home use Of sugar, and
Europe, with the release Of ships to 80
for afield, can maintain Its recent re-
stricted rntions. II. however, those
nations are to increase their use of
sugar very considerably It must be by
our continued sharing with them
through limiting our own consump-
ton.
