GOVERNMENT GETTING AFTER
THE RETAILERS.

There is no question that retail
merchants of the country. or many
of them. took advantage of conditions
and unduly raised the retail price of
a large number of commodities with
out reason or justice and before the
particular commodities had been adj
vanced. This was scarcely display
ing the spirit of fairness which
might have been expected, and the
government will now take hand
The retail merchant has right, and
is expected, to make a fair and
reasonable profit on his goods, but
when he raises the price simply be-
cause ne can. and because the pub
lie is not posted. he shows the op-
posite Of patriotic spirit. in short,
German spirit. The retail mer-
chant who keeps this up will run
afoul of a government prosecution,
and suffer punishment. beside the
odium of being exposed.

WANT YOUR NAME ON THE
HONOR ROLE?

IF you do. buy a Liberty Bond
The Echo will print the name of
every citizen who purchases a Ii
berty Bond If you are a patriotic,
liberty loving citizen, show it by
loaning the government the money it
must have to carry on the war to a
successful conclusion Every dollar
will 90 right back into circulation. 1t
will be used to buy war supplies
from our people and paid to our sold
iers and sailors. There are few who
can not buy at least one bond. There
is not one who can not buy war
savings stamps To refuse to buy
either is to stamp you as an undesir-
able citizen, one who should be dis
franchised. As there is no way to
disfranchise you the loyal people of
this country will ostracise YOU. The
man who wants and expects the pro-
lection of our laws should show that
he deserves it by supporting the
government that enforces the law.
There is no middle ground in this
Liberty Loan matter. Either you
are for, and will support the govern
ment, or you are against and re-
fuse to support it.
Which side are you on?
II, thru lack of information, the
names of any purchasers of Liberty
Bonds are not on the Honor Role,
please advise us and correction will
promptly be made.

THE BEET SUGAR INDUSTRY.

The sugar beet industry, which
requires 81 beet sugar factories, with
an investment of S100,000,0O0, in
the 10 Pacific and Mountain States,
is doing more for the agricultural
development of the west than any
other one agency.
The Secretary of Agriculture says:
"The production of all our sugar
at home will go farther toward
raising the standard of agriculture
than any other one thing.
California, Colorado, Idaho, Mont
ana, Wyoming, Utah, Washington,
Oregon, Nevada, New Mexico and
Arizona are destined to become the
sugar bowl of the United States.
These states are great grain and
cattle producers, but sugar beets pay
more per acre than any of these
crops, even at the high war prices,
and will do more to restore the fer
tility and productiveness of the soil
than any other angency when used
as a rotation crop. L. S. Govern
ment statistics show the following
profits from six of the leading crops:

 Ever since the meeting of the board a week ago Tuesday when it was voted to give each teacher a bonus of $75 payable at the end of the next school year, there has been quiet but | very general discussion on the subject of salaries among the teaching force, but the meeting on Wednesday was a short one and took quick action.
 1 There were some brief remarks in 1 which attention was called to the $1 1 per day raise granted to the police force. the salary raise granted the firemen to make their pay the same as the policemen. and the 20 per cent
 raise given to the school janitors. 1 It is understood that other argu ! n1ents that have weighed with tho l teachers have been a comparison with
 salaries in New London where the
 salary range of from $S50 to s950 fol 1 the highest grade teachers as con- l trasted with $75e to $S50 here Al ready, it is understood, about a dozer l of the Norwich teachers have started the study of stenography and type i writing in anticipation of taking po- ! sitions in that line if their salaries here do not meet their expectations.
