Admiral Goodrich Says Respect For
 Constitution Is Lacking

Admiral Caspar F. Goodrich of Princeton, N. J., formerly of Pomfret, in a communication to New York newspaper, scores the efforts of what he terms "so-called reformers" for trylng to inject into the constitution matter which he deems purely statu- tory. Admiral Goodrich writes:
 Sir: The blue Sunday movement is the natural result of our lack of re spect fer the constitution of the Unit ed States. as exhibited in the passage of the eighteenth amendment of which the object might even more readily have been secured through law. The so-caIled reformers are encouraged by their initial success to still further sap the foundations of the noble in strument hich the fathers framed as a scheme of government and seek to debase it into code of laws.
 It is incumbent on every person who reverences that immortal docu- ment to tell his or her representative and senator, verbally, or, better still, in writing, that he or she insists upon their strict observance of their sworn obligation to protect and defend the constitution by refusing to counten-

PRICE OF MILK RETAINED
Farmers Will Get 101r Cents a Quart
 In December

Farmers who supply the Boston milk market and other city markets Tn New England will continue to receive 1011 cents per quart in December Tn spite of q determined effort on the part of Boston dealers to break the two months contract made at that price Nov. i. The sales committee Of the New England Milk Producers As sociation stood firmly against the de- mands of the dealers and saved the farmers from g heavy loss on Decem- Der milk.
 The sales committee took the posi- ton that while there was an obvious downward trend in prices in many lines, the time had not come to re- duce the milk price as the costs ot production were not materially lower than last month Studies made by the statistical department Of the as- sociation showed that while grain has gone down materially at wholesale n the west. the reduction has not reached the country retail trade n New England to any extent. The av- srage reduction in grain prices in the country amounts to about 8 per ton. Taking into consideration all produe- ton costs, the reduction for the month amounted to about one-tenth of cent per quart. The dealers ask cd for reduction of half cent. Be fore deciding 10 stand firm for carry ing out the two months contract the sales committee of the association laid their figures before the Massa- chusetts Commission on the Neeessar- .es of Life and received the assurance of the commission that it would take no action to disturb existing condl- tions.
 The only concession made to the oNalers was that farmers should stand loss on surplus during Decem- Der. Under the contract entered into Nov l for the two months the sur plus deductions which were to be charged back to the farmers could not exceed one-half cent quart No, vember milk will be paid for on this basis but under the concession made by the sales committee are farmers will accept surplus deduction In full, just as they did in months previous to November

PUBLISHER FUN IN FRANCE
William 5. Brewer Indicted By Fed
 eral Grand Jury In New York

The Federal Grand Jury of New York, Saturday. indicted William s. Brewer on a charge of using the mails to defraud. IL Is alleged that Brewer was connected with the publication of magazine called A. E. F. or Fun In France, and that it was sold in large numbers on the pretense that the proceeds were for ex-service men.
 One of the trucks used by the com pany arrived in Putnam one evening last summer It was decorated with banners and placards inscribed "A. F.. F." and Fun In France and crowd soon gathered about the behicie out of curiosity. When 1t was found that the three men in uniform had some thing to sell the gathering dispensed as quickly as it had formed.
 The following morning the truck was in Union Square and number of magazines were sold. The truck then left for Willimantic. When business opened in that city it came to an abrupt end when the police stepped in and arrested them for doing busi- ness in the uniform of the United States Army The agents of the mag azine were arraigned in the United States district court at Hartford and the cases were continued.

OVATION GREATEST EVER CIV
I'm CHIEF BEFORE ELECTION

Oklahoma City staged the great
est demonstration for a presidential
nominee ever witnessed in Okla
homa Saturday when Senator War
ren G. Harding came to preach the
gospel OF the G.. o. Z.
Senator Harding's arrival was
real triumphal entry into city
dominated by frenziedly demonstra-
tive admirers.
His parades through the streets
both from the station to the Huck-
ins hotel and from the hotel 10 tla
fair grounds auditorium were &C
1inuous ovations. His speeches we're
accepted as the words of a prophet
and more than prophet, and ac-
corded both the intense attention
and the uproarous applause that
audiences reserve for their favorites.
His departure marked the close OF
the noisiest, gladdest maddest day
his party has known in Oklahoma
for years and years.
Republicans held sway yesterday
in Oklahoma City. From far and
near, by ones and two. by automo-
biles and interurban cars, by spe-
cial coaches and trainloads, they be-
gan arriving Friday night and CON
tinued the steady immigration until
thousands and tens of thousands had
gathered for the big show. Flags
and banners became the merest OF
details in the multitude of them
carried by the delegations and bands
became commonplace by their blar-
ing frequency.
What words OF greeting indlyid-
uals yelled, what tunes the bands
played what bells rang, what
whistles footed and horns honked
when the Harding special train
pulled in yesterday, was lost in the
great roaring, clamoring babel of
noise that shriehed a greeting.
Many people in Oklahoma think
President Woodrow Wilson a man
of great accomplishments.
But the immense crowd of men
and women, which packed the fair
grounds pavilion 10 standing room
and responded with thunders of
cheering to every climax of Senator
Warren G. Harding, hooted and
jeered in derision when the Re
publican nominee for the presidency
attacked the presidents ideals and
efforts

NEW YORK COFFEE MARKET
MouItrie Is Shaken
By Dynamite Blast
Near the Courthouse

MOULTRIE, Jan. 15.-Sheriff Boyt
will ask Governor Dorsey to offer
reward for the arrest of the man
who placed a big stick Of dynamite
near the courthouse here Tuesday
night, and set it off with a slow time
fuse, with a resultant explosion that
rocked the business district and
shook many houses in the residential
sections, but. fortunately, caused no
serious damage.
1t was early in the evening when
the explosion occurred. AS ln1me~
date investigation by the police re-
vealed the fact that the dynamite
had been set off under d small rose
bush, not more than twenty yards
from one corner of the courthouse.
The explosion tore a big hole in the
earth and shook out a window pane
on the top floor of the courthouse
Officers are at a loss to understand
the motive. but some are inclined
to believe that it was the work of
youth who had a crude and dan
gerous idea of pulling off a practical
joke. Had any one passed by at the
time of the explosion he most GER
tain1y would have been Killed. The
case is being investigated and an
arrest is expected.
