NO CHARGE FOR
SPOTTINC CARS
ON The SIDINGS

The Bridgeport War Bureau at the
request of the Chamber of Commerce
took up the matter of detailed
charge made by railroads for placing
and spotting cars. The bureau adopt
ed resolutions that the proposed spot
ting and terminal charges are an I'M
just tax upon the people and tend to
congest all freight conditions. The
State Council of Defense was asked to
take action.
The Defense council referred the
matter to the chairman of its Trans
portation committee. Upon his re-
port it passed the following resolution:
That the Council concur with the res
olution of the Bridgeport War Bureau
and the suggestion contained therein
be forwarded to the proper authori-
ties for consideration.
The Manufacturers association has
dropped the matter. March 10 a let
ter was received from the Director
General of Railroads office, giving def
mite information that the matter had
not been brought to the attention to
the Director General.
The statement given out was: This
matter has not been before the Di-
rector General for his consideration
3but when it is I wish to assure you
that the shippers and traffic interests
in general will be given a hearing on
the subject

CADILLAC CARRIES
USEFUL ACCESSORIES

Under the general classification of
standard equipment the Cadillac
carries many features which might
better be termed special equipment.
Yet none has been included as part of
the standard Cadillac types until its
utility or the need for it has been
proved. All have been selected with
a view to increasing the comfort or
the convenience of the driver and
passengers; or facilitating the opera
ton of the car.
One step initially taken by the Cad
lilac which influenced the whole in
dustry and wrought a vast change in
all motoring was the adoption of cleo
trio engine cranking and electric
lights. To control the head lamp
rays and prevent glare. Cadillac en-
gineers worked out a fitting lamp re-

leaders, its outspoken language
To the Polish Nation!
When the armies of the Central
Powers entered the Polish kingdom we
heard from under their victorious
flags the solemn assurances that they
brought Poland liberation from a long
and heavy yoke. Later came the pa
tents that guaranteed to our country
her independence. Lastly, a few
months ago, the existence of a SOW
ereign authority of the Polish State
was recognized, and it was promis-
ed help, friendship, and collaboration.
But when the Cars reign in Rus
STA came to an end and Russia's new
rulers began peace negotiations with
the Central Powers, Poland was not
admitted to these negotiations. We
demanded our participation IN these
negotiations earnestly and incessant-
ly. We were promised this participa-
ton. Then the answer was delayed,
and we were deluded until the pleni-
potentiaries of Germany and Austria
Hungary decided alone about our
frontiers contrary to our rights.
We were excluded in order that
peace might be made at our cost; and
in order that the desired safety in
the east might be obtained at the
price of our nations living body, a
piece of Polish land was carved out
and given to the Ukraine.
The wrong of the Cars govern
ment has been repeated. The non
existent government of Cholm, which,
for a time, was formed by the ex-
IRENE Russian nationalists, has been
re-established and enlarged, agravat-
ing the wrong that was done at that
time to the Polish nation.
This land, transferred to the
Ukraine, is for the most part Polish
and Catholic. Its population proved
with its own blood during the infam-
Gus religious persecution of 1884 its
rights to belong to Poland. The OPP
ulation has not bee masked to which
State it wants to belong. With one
stroke of the pen it's lot has been de-
cided, and so the self-determination

Can't Find Dandruf

Every bit of dandruff disappears
after one or two applications of Dan
derine rubbed well into the scalp with
the finger tips. Get a small bottle
of Danderine at any drug store and
save your hair. After a few applica-
tons you can't find a particle of dan
druff or any falling hair, and the
scalp will never itch.-Adv.

carries all the greater weight
of the nations, so often and solemnly
proclaimed by the German and Aus
TRAN diplomatists, has been in Po-
lands case violated. Thereby the real
significance has been taken from the
independent patents of the two En-
perors, and from their promises of
friendship.
Poland's independence, her political
and economic existence as a State,
have become an empty word, for not
only are the interests and rights of
Poland overlooked, but her national
territory is not respected.
We have taken the oath before God
to guard Poland's happiness, liberty
and strength, and today, remembering
our oath, we raise our voices before
God and the world, before the face
of men and the judgment of history
before the German nation and the ma
tons of Austria-Hungary, in protest
against this partition, refusing it our
acknowledgment branding it as an
act of brutal force.
Declaring once more the violation Of
the spirit and the real meaning of the
independence patents, we will crave
the right of exercising the highest
authority from the will Of the nation,
believing that the nation desires to
own a symbol of its independence, and
wants to stand by this symbol. On
this will of the nation we want to
base our mission and our efforts. We
will preserve what has been obtained
We will guard our courts of JUSTICE
that render their sentence in the name
Of the Polish Crown, our schools that
are beginning new life in Polish
spirit, and if we do not obtain the
whole of the nations aspirations, we
will hand down to our descendants
what we have taken from the blood
of our forefathers, and we will not
acknowledge the diminution of our
own country.

HaIf Your Living
Without Money Cost

We are all at danger point. On

Even at present high prices no one
can plant all or nearly all cotton, buy
food and grain at present prices from
supply merchant on credit and make
money. Food and grain is higher IN
proportion than are present cotton
prices.
It's a time above all others to play
safe; to produce all possible food,
grain and forage supplies on your own
acres; to cut down the store bill.
A good piece of garden ground,
rightly planted, rightly tended and
kept planted the year round, can be
made to pay nearly half your living. 1t
will save you more money than yeu

you ever grew!
