BEDDING
Special to The Times.)


 Bedding, Nov. 21.---In the United War drive the town just reached the assigned goal of $2,5OO, thereby avoid ing a smudge on its former shining record. Georgetown contributed about $1, zoo towards the total and the other sections of the town the remaining $500. The campaign closed with a dance at the Ridge sym on Monday evening, the admission charge of 50 cents including a chance on two prizes. These were a 40-pound turkey donated by Owen Gill and alleged to have been fattened on a !3iet of milk and chestnuts, and a pig donated by H. c. McCOllam, chairman Of the campaign committee. Bad weather prevented a large attendance, but to some one occurred the happy thought Of offering for sale to those present the unsold tickets which had only the value of a chance for the prizes. Of these 150 were disposed of, increasing the receipts by $75. Rev. Father Ken nedy of Bethel made an earnest ap- peal fer liberal giving to the war re- lief cause and a young man from Dan.bury named Wagner sang several songs. The Mrs. Dickens orchestra furnished music for the Eancing. The turkey was won by W. c. Sanford, chairman of the Bedding War Bu- reau, who at once put it up at auc- | ton, It was bid off by Lemuel San ford For SIP. The piG was won by | Master Jesse Sanford of West Red | ding, who was not present. The en- i ltertainment netted S1T5.
 1 As was expected the plan of invit- ing bids for road repair contracts by l sections instead of the whole town resulted in a marked increase in the number of proposals as compared with three years ago. The bids were opene2 Saturday afternoon. For the western section Zalmon Reads figures were $1,S0O, B. B. Banks $2,6O0 and
 Frank Riders $2,OOO annually for each
 of the three years. The contract was awarded to MT Read. For the middle
 section, that lying between the Saug-
 atuck and Little rivers, no award was
 made as p. B. Banks and ID. R. War,
 neT submitted identical figures. M
 Joseph Sullivan, the only other bid
 der namei .. higher amount and new bIcs on this section have been called
 for. For the eastern section Charles stauffer bid $1,SQO and NJ. Joseph Sul-
 iivan $2,100. The contract went to the
 former. The only proposal for the
 whole town, consisting of bids fol
 each of the three sections, came iron
 B. B. Baufss. Its total was $2O, ,250 Three years ago MT. Banks wal awarded the contract on his bid O Sl5,000 or 5000 a year.

THE TERMS OF PEACE.
(Written by Rev. Dr. Charles H Parkhurst for the Ma 1onal
 Security League)

Parkhurst for the National
 Security League.)
 How are we going to treat the Huns now we have stripped them?
 The Huns must be reduced to such a condition of mind as will insure their doing what we insist upon and yielding all that we demand. When a wise and just father chastises his incorrigible boy he continues his dis cipline till the boy gives up, stops re- sisting and quits parleying. There is nothing which Germany needs so much, even for her own sake, as hu- initiation. Her conceit, estimated by the enormity of her scheme, is So immense that she will be a curse to own best development till she has been scourged out of her trncultured sense of omnipotence and omnis- cience.
 The terms of peace must be settle: altogether by Allied dictation. Ger. 1. many is simply to be recognized an: handled as a colossal criminal, witt no rights before the court but tn right to stand in the prisoners box be judged according to the testimony and sentenced according to tn enormity of guilt; surrendering wha she has ill-gotten, and Gas suggested i in Judge Mayors finding in tn Lusitania suit, so far as her reduces | resources permit, indemnifying for al | property destroyed.

In general he spoke hopefully of the cOmpany's prospects, of emerging successfully from its present difficulties and said that be- fore long it would probably be in a position to start gradual payments on i the notes. He made a highly favor able impression upon those he met 1 and most of the company's patrons agreed to stick.

The Riverhead church is much larger than his present charge and the field of activities much wider.

IT PAYS TO TRADE AT DILLON's.

Luttgen filed notices of appeal to the Supreme court from the adverse judg- ment of the Superior court in the mat ter of their tax suits they failed to perfect the proceeding and the time for such action having elapsed, the existing judgment stands. Under it the Commodore owes $S13.35, his tax for 1916, and Mrs. Peck $8SO19, taxes for 1915 and '16. These amounts do not include what is due for interest at the rate of per cent. and also the costs of the litigation. The latter are yet to be determined and some items which the towns counsel will en- deavor to have included may be the subject of controversy. One of these is likely to be the bill of the three men who made a special appraisal for the town to compare with the ap- praisal made by the plaintiffs ap- praiseTs. The law permits the tax ation of triple costs against tax Iiti- gantS whose suits are not sustained, but these will not be asked in the present case as Messrs. Shaw and Lockwood, the towns attorneys, are 1 convinced that these suits were brought in good faith based on an honest conviction that injustice had been done the bringers. The power to impose extra costs is designed to infiict a penalty on those who sue from improper motives.

SHERIFF BUYS TWO
 BOTTLES OF BEER
Disguised as a LabOrer Bat son Gets Direct Evidence
 of Prohi Violation
RESOURCES

Some real sleuth work was pulled off last night when James Spencer, negro of Newcastle, was brought to the county jail to be held to answer to the charge of violating the prohibition laws
 Sheriff T. J. Batson, usually well dressed and neat in appearance, was so completely disguised by a pair of dirty overalls, an open front shirt and slouch hat that he was not recognized when he walked into room in the house where the liquid was being sold and asked for a bottle of Blue Ribbon.
 .'L ain't got that the negro selling the fluid is alleged to have answered.
 Well, have you a bottle of Budwei- ser?" next quered the sheriff. A NO, sah, boss, but 1se got some mighty good beer here" is the alleged reply.
 How much is it?' asked MT. Batson- To which the negro replied that it was 9 cents per bottle. MT. Batson states that he purchased two bottles and after completing the purchase gave the star salesman free ride to Birmingham. The evidence Is all in readiness and the ex- plantations will be in order this morning when the preliminary hearings is given before Judge 'Ab," of the municipal court.
