.SLACKERS ON WAR SAVINGS PLEDGES
Revealed in Norwich By Classified List in Hands of Post
 Office Men = Many Who Signed Cards Have Not Yet Purchased Any War Savings Stamps-Time Now to Get
 War Savings Certificates at the July Rate.

Slackers on their pledges to buy war saNings stamps are being revealed in Norwich in considerable numbers since the pledge cards have been classified so that it is possible to keep track of those who are buying stamps and those who are not.
 Post John F. Murphy and the en- pIoyes of the post office have ciassi- fled the pledge cards that were secur- cd by the canvassers in the local cam paign, arranging the cards according to the street and number for the con venienee of the letter carriers who sell the war savings stamps and it is very noticeable, according to their report that many who signed cards have not as yet purchased any stamps. Such people show how lightly they regard the pledge that they have made to their country and are not meeting in patriotic way the patriotic effort of

the women who volunteered for the canvass These slackers should not make it necessary for these women to make another call on them,
 Sales of war savings certificates and thrift stamps continued at the post office in the past week in good vol ume, and as the certificates will sell for $4.19 in the month of August, it is time now for all who have partial ly filled thrift cards to fill them up with the necessary number of stamps and exchange them before Thursday for certificates by paying IS, cents. This can be done through the city and rural free delivery carriers or at either of the postal stations.
 The five letter carriers who disposed of the most stamps in the fast week were Joseph S., O'Neill. P. J. McNer- ney, M. J, Murphy. H. S. Case and M c. O'Sullivan.

Preparing for Bumper Wheat Crop

The Government maintains it's guarantee ot S2 20 to the wheat growers by means of the Food Administration Grain Corpora tion with a capital of S50. 0.000,O00. To keep the price down to that figure when the crop is relative ly short, as it has been the past year, the Food Administration can compel growers to sell to this corporation at S2 20 as against all bidders of higher prices. Tc keep the price up when the crop is relatively abundant the Grain Corporation must evidently be prepared to buy in large quan- titles of wheat. as private bid ding might beat down the price much below the guaranteed S2. 20
 The country is promised gi eat wheat harvests, running up pos sibly to 1,000.000,000 bushels. The President now also author izes the Grain Corporation to in crease it's capital to $50, 100000. The one fact evidently explains the other. The S2 20 price is more than double the pre- war price for normal crop. It is three times the pre-war price for such a bumper yield as is now promised. The Grain Cor poration may have to buy lot of wheat to keep up such a price even in the face of large de- mands from our allies
 It is less easy to explain the Presidents order authorizing still higher prices to the wheat E I lOWCi ., Oub lU 1S Sdlu UO Iucdu no more than purpose to make up to the growers the Govern ment's increase in freight rates. There may also exist the very ineligible purpose to keep the matter out of the hands of Con gress, where lobbying growers and spectators are trying to place it.
 No worse disposition can be thought of than to transfer a re- vived Chicago wheat pit to the floors of the Senate and House at Washington. By as much as the Presidents action has avert ed such calamity, by so much ', is it to be cheered.
