OVERLAND. TRAVEL TOUGH
 FOR CARNIVAL SHOW
Trucks Were Stalled Near Lantern
 Hill, Coming From Westerly

The Moose Carnival on the Battle grounds did not open as planned Mon day evening as some of the trucks of the show company were stalled on the road from Westerly near Lantern Hill. Rather than put on part of the show the committee decided to postpone the opening.
 MT. Curran who is in charge of the show said Monday night that he ex- pected the missing paraphenalia would get here today so that the show could open at full blast tonight. The open ing of the sileX mine at Lantern Hill has put the roads in that section in very bad condition. In some places it was necessary for the showmen to cut down trees on the sides of the road so that their trucks could get through. When the first truck stalled Sunday night it tied up about hun dred and fifty autos on the road be- hind it.
 It is not practicable for the show to come to Norwich from Westerly by way of New London as there is a long detour on the Groton road and this road is in poor condition. It took the show three days to get from New London to Westerly

SMALL VALUE NOW
 IN LIQUOR LICENSES
New Haven Bankruptcy Referee Finds Them Comparatively Worthless.

Liquor licenses, once greatly in de- mand and rated at substantial figure in private sale or on the open market have but little value now. as an asset, and are practically drug on the market, according to developments in New Haven at hearings before Referee in Bankruptcy C. E. Hoadley. This information materialized when an attempt was made to fix values of licenses comprising part of the assets listed in the estate of bankruptcy sa- loon proprietors According to the re- port of trustees, the licenses which only a year ago were in much de- mand and commanded anywhere from s1, 900 to g 900. going as high as s. 900 in the sections where saloons were scarce are now practically worthless with. no buyers.
 Martin Peterson, saloonkeeper of 23 Court street. New Haven. turned over his license as one of the most valuable assets when he went into bankruptcy on the grounds he was un- able to make running expenses with the present high tax on liquors. Yes terday the trustee, in making a report on it. said he found it to be practically worthless.
 A similar report was made by the trustee in the case of Ernest Burk- hardt. bankrupt saloon keeper of

This table shows" says Miss Sprague, an increase of from 9 to 66 2-3 per cent. which is a consider able additional cost to the family which uses canned goods in it's dietary as freely as is recommended.
 Tt is quite likely prices may be even higher, particularly corn. as the Maine crop was badly damaged by frost
 This argument should make it double plan to every household that stock of vegetables for home use should be canned as fast as they are on the market It has been estimated \ that every adult should eat 54 quarts of vegetables and 45 quarts of fruit during the nine months that fresh products are not plenty. Stored. fresh and dried products should be used in addition to this. It is also estimated that child should have five -sixths as much canned vegetables, or. 45 quarts, and four ffths as much of fruit, or 36 quarts.
 Using these figures. it is easy to estimate the number of quarts of vegetables and fruits which will be needed for a family of any number of adults and children

TO THE DEMOCRATIC VOTERS
 OF JACKSON COUNTY:

In announcing as candidate fol representative, l did so at the urgent request of many solid democrats who represent all classes of our people and these requests came from every section of the county, so 1 can truth fully say that I am the candidate of the people.
 I have been life long democrat and have rendered much party ser vice by serving on committees and helping keep the party organization intact in this county.
 My record is clean and straight and I am able to present to the peo- pie a good record and one which any man might be proud to have.
 By education, training and experi- ence my qualifications for the office are such that I know I can make the people such a representative as the interests of the county and its pco- pie are entitled to have to represent them in the legislative halls.
 My time for the past year has been largely devoted to the service of the government and 1 have answered ev- cry call that has been made of me by the president and his advisers to go out and help the nation win the war and this kind of service have con- tinued even though I was candidate.
 The particular time that I hoped to make an active campaign was brok- en into by the flood conditions and while I have visited most portions of the county I could have seen more people if 1t had not been for the high water.
 I solicit the votes and support of each one of you on election day and will appreciate anything that you may be able to do for me. I thank the people for their kindly interest in my behalf, and promise that if elected I shall do my utmost to make you a good representative.
 Respectfully,
 FRED R. SUITS,
 Candidate for Representative.

 THE WORLD IS ON FIRE.
 Brundidge fans the flames, Robin son is at his post of duty trying to control the fire.
 Brundidge in a four-page circular, assails Robinson's record in the United States Senate.
 Woodrow Wilson, President of the United States makes a written ap- peal to Senator Joe T. Robinson to run for the United States Senate at this perilous time in the history of our country, and upon the wonderful record he had made in the Senate.
 The following letter was written tc Senator Joe T. Robinson by Woodrow Wilson, President of the United States several weeks ago:
 "White House,
 Washington, Feb, 6, 1918. My Dear Senator:
 "I have been distresstd to hear that you were somewhat in doubt about seeking reelection to the Senate. I hope with all my heart that there is no foundation for this impression. I should deem your re- tirement from the Senate a real na- tional loss. My close and confiden- tial association with you has taught me to value your counsel and your support in these trying times in a very unusual degree, and 1 am writ ing this as an earnest and friendly protest against any thought you may have mad of retiring. This is a time when it is necessary that men who know each others talents and princi- ples and objects, and who feel them selves united in common cause, should stand together not only, but keep together. I know that is your own thought and spirit, and it is be- cause I have found your aid and counsel so exceedingly valuable that I am making this appeal to you.
 Cordially and sincerely yours, Signed) WOODROW WILSON. "Hon. Joseph T. Robinson,
 United States Senate"
 Any man interested in the winning of this war, which is uppermost in every patriots mind at this time, can tell from the reading of this let ter upon whom the President de- bends, and for whom we should all vote for, for United States Senate, and that person is the present sena- tor, Joe T. Robinson. To vote for him yneans to support the president.
