Farmers will be asked to keep a record of the cost of producing their acre of corn, and an outline cost sheet will be furnished every farmer who en- ters the contest by the Farmers asso- ciation.
 The Farmers association will also o-operate with the contestants during the summer in keeping their records. This acre yield contest offers not only an opportunity to bring out the yield per acre on various varieties of corn, but has the added value of giving farmers an opportunity to get some fairly accurate figures on the cost of producing corn per acre.
 Women's Share in Show.
 The "corn as food" exhibit of the corn show will be given special atten- ton by the home demonstration agent this year, and we hope the fine inter est shown by the women of the county last year will be doubled for this years show. Some money will be available this season for prizes in the home economics section, and a definite announcement of the premium list for the women Twill be made in advance, in order to give the women plenty of time to practice their cornmeal dishes before placing them on exhibition.

NATIONAL WoMAN's PARTY
lakes Vigorous Methods to Reach
 Senators Who Delay Suffrage Work.

Miss Katherine Byrne, chairman of the Putnam branch of the National Woman's party, in statement given out Wednesday, says:
 ''The critical position of the Susan B. Anthony amendment in the United States senate ie engaging the atten- tion of all suffragists.
 ''The leaders of the National Wom- ans party are straining every effort to secure a vote in the senate and a majority for the amendment This in ternational question is being delayed by the opposition of group of con- servative senators, notably those from New England, whose arguments are provincial and of the last generation. In spite of the support of Senator Gallinger, republican floor leader. four of the six republicans who definitely declare that they will not vote for the amendment are New Englanders. We are counting on Mir Mclean of Con- necticut to redeem this record.
 The senators, who are opposing the immediate passage of the federal amendment are doing so against the stated wish of President Wilson that it be passed as a war measure necessary to the success of our foreign policy against the official declaration of both the democratic and republican national committees urging its support-against the trend of thought throughout the whole world, and. further, against the pronounced sentiment of the country.

MILL MEN WORRIED
Do Not Know How Government Con- troI of Wool Is Going to Work Out.

Some of the woolen manufacturers in this vicinity are perturbed over the governments taking control or the entire wool supply of the country. not because they object to government control, but because it imposes con ditions that render it difficult to make certain of an adequate supply of wool for the plants.
 Angus Park of the Assawaga Wool en company operating the big mill at Dayville, said Wednesday that the supply of wool on hand at most mills in this vicinity is not great nor more than sufficient in quantity to keep the plants going for more than brief period He said he believes that the supply at most mills is not more than sufficient to keep the plants running four weeks. MT. Park feels quite cer- tain, however. that there is an ade- quate supply of wool available The proposition is to get it.
 Practically all the woolen mills in this part of eastern Connecticut are doing more or less work for the gov ernment, some of the mills being all most exclusively so engaged. It is probable, of course, that wool
