SELLING
AT POUND RATE
Most of Local Dealers Selling on That
Basis Rather than by Dozen
Think it Fairer to All.

Within short time some of the Brat
tleboro grocers have begun selling
bananas by the pound and now most of
them are doing 50. For years they have
bought bananas by weight, but since the
wholesale price has scared so high the
grocers in many places consider that it is
fairer both to themselves and to their
customers to retail them by weight
Bananas vary so much in size that it
is necessary to charge different prices for
them where they are sold by the dozen.
but under the new plan the price is the
same, no matter what their size The
prevailing price charged is y cents a
pound, and as three average sized bananas
weigh a pound this is the equivalent of
As cents a dozen. The extremes are
about 30 and 60 cents dozen by weight

so DAYS FOR SEDITION.
Engle Said Americans Could Reach
Berlin Only as Prisoners.

MIDDLETOWN, n. Y, July 25.-
Simon Engle, 2s years old, a native of
Holland, was sentenced to the county
Jail for thirty days for seditious talk.
1t was shown that he had said that
the only way the Americans would
reach Berlin would be as prisoners of
war.
Engle was employed in the Borden
condensed milk plant here. No lawyer
would defend. him, and he was his own
lawyer in Recorder III. NJ. Stars court.
His case will probably be brought to
the attention of the federal authori-
ties.

URGES MORE PARIS DEFENcEs.
French General Warns City Is Far
From Safe Yet.

PARIS, July PA French general
writes in La Liberte warning against
the neglect of the defences of Paris, be-
gun at the start of the German drive
and apparently forgotten since the sue
cessful counter attacks of the allies ar
mics He observes that too easy and
premature optimism may prove dangerous
if the defence of the capital is allowed
to rest merely in the files of the war de-
partment.
He points out that as in 1914 Paris
cannot escape the law of military opera
tions which, despite the recoil of the en-
emy armies, still expose the city to the
possibilities of danger that existed when
the defence was begun. He urges the es-
tablishment of strong and heavy artillery
batteries and improved aero defences.

ABOUT WAR FLOUR

Our government, through it's food ad- ministration department, is controlling the milling of flour at present. To con serve the amount of wheat in this country and to make more available for shipment to our associates in the war, the following rule regarding mill Ing of flour has been put in effect
 No licensee engaged in the business of milling flour and feed from wheat shall use more than 264 pounds of 5S pounds per bushel or heavier clean wheat in making 196 pounds of 100 per cent flour. From the 100 per cent flour so produced, the lincesee may, at his option. remove and sell or deliver as a separate product. not more than 5 per cent of clear. or low grade Hours; the remaining product representing 95 per cent of all the flour produced shall not be subject to further separation or di- vision.
 This means that mills cannot supply a short patent flour as formerly mar keted for family trade under estab- lished brands. The 95 per cent flour is the best grade possible to make un- der the present rules and although not so good in color and texture, Is, never theless, good. wholesome flour, for which. under existing world conditions we should be truly trankful
 It is our patriotic duty to comply with our. governments regulations and do our best to help conserve the wheat supply. both by careful use and elirn- ination of all waste. Wheat may prove to be one of the vital factors in winning the war
