 Heard the latest in politicse Effort is being made to have a wet and dry con test in the next election for congressman in this congressional district, and thus early a prominent democrat of New Lon don has. been invited to be candidate for congress on wet platform, and he has decided to make a stab for the nom
 ination. The democrat is Thomas R. Murray, known locally as Square Deal Murray He has served the city as councilman, aiderinan-at-large, is at present a member of the board of asses sors, has served on the board several terms, and in quite a few elections has been the only democrat elected on the ticket Tom never was tee-totaller, nor is he what could be termed a drink ing man having never been seen over the bay, or on the border. He was for rnerly in the liquor business and no plat form is too wet for him to stand on His avoirdupois and his intelligence combined would prevent any platform from slipping from under him. He would be an ideal wet candidate for congress. It is extremely doubtful however that prohibition will be an issue in the next congressional campaign. If it is Dick Freeman will be there with the goods. and no democrat can defeat the repub- liean nominee in this strongly republican district Tom Murray is as strong as any democrat that could be made. He is a first. class vote-getter with a star and A.
 Just what every person at the age of reason in New London knew when the city took over the management of the Groton-New London ferry rather than to continue the lease at reduced rental to the Thames Ferry company, was told in
 public print by the superintendent of the
 ferry Thursday evening. He told of the opening of the state highway bridge and the consequent decrease in. business. of the increased cost of operation, of the big expense of getting the additional
 boat, the great cost of getting the boat
 into commission He even went so far
 as to say that but for the coin received
 from the subsequent sale of that boat
 to the state Of Maine, the city of. New
 London would have beeH required to
 make another special appropriation for
 the maintenance of the ferry. The su-
 pervisor argues along that line to justify
 the action of the recent increase of fare
 from three to five cents. Grotonites
 threaten an injunction against the in
 crease and the ferryn1an seeks to fore
 stall public opinion. Sure the taking over
 of the ferry was municipal mistake and

NEW LONDON STEADILY BOOSTING TAXES

i'll any position on newspaper, and fill it we'll. from devil to editor, If a fellow Is not competent to do everything that is connected with the production of a newspaper, he is no newspapeiman, but , only component part" He added: q never knew but one real newspaper1nan, and he is not resident of the Nutmeg state. The chap at the writer's elbow suggests: Perhaps that Chicagoan never knew Harding or Cox, or some Connec- ticut newspaper workers that you and know"
 Special city meetings are the rage in New London and every time one is held boost is given in the tax rate to meet | the special appropriations. And the end is not yet At the last special city meet ing there was mill boost, and couple of mills more will be added in the very. near future. These are in addition to the tax rate levied for the annual budget, and 1t does seem that these specials are held out to aid the administration in making fairly good showing at the end of the fiscal year. This method Is be- coming so common that the people are taking tumble and feel that somebody is putting something over on them The city charter provides the way for rnakin appropriations and the ordinances as well as the charter gives just an inkiing as to the expenditure of the appropria tion. They are many who believe it about time that the court of common council learned to spell Economy with a big E and keep within the charter and ordinances, and desist from using an ap- propriation made for a specified purpose for some other purpose.
 At the common council meeting Tues day evening it was openly admitted that appropriations had been nnisappropriat- ed not dishonestly but illegally. Then a majority of the aldermen voted to rec ommend to the city meeting these appro priations, amounting to s6o,ooo, which means an addition to the tax rate of two mills: For fire escapes on school build ings. s5S,oo0 additional for almshouse, s5,0O0, and additional for the municipal piggery s2,0oo. No recommendation was made for additional appropriation for the municipal piggery. That may come la ter. The recommendations made may all be necessary, but the question is asked why not include them in the annual bud get, and not hold them back as fuel for

New London. July s.-According to the United States is to be newspaperman. , This combined word is of comparative ly recent coinage and would not have been understood thirty-fve or forty year. ago. In those times there were editors and reporters and now and then a jour nalist. but nary a newspaper man. He.e il Connecticut there were press associa- tions. reporters associations and eji- . tors associations. but not a newspaper mems association. Just what carries with the term newspapermen is still a puzzler 10 old players in the newspaper game. Nowadays editors, reporters, country CO., respondents, or any connected with 2 newspaper office, outside the mechanical department, are all classed as newspa- permen, There is no distinction. To re- fer to a news gatherer as a reporter to- day would cut as deep as to call cap tain a colonel A newspaper man, if you please.
 There is at least one old codger who has played in the newspaper game as long as the next one, who never refer red to his fellow workers, or to himself as a newspapernan But that is called old fogyism by the men who furnish the news for the newspapers of today. A fresh reporter on trial for week will refer to himself as a newspaperman and would feel just bit degraded if called 2 reporter That reminds. A few years ago space writer on a local newspaper, not newspaperman, came into the of fee one night with Q scoop. In telling the fellow at the desk of it. he said :: T was the only newsDaperman present" The fellow at the desk laid down his pen cil and his pipe. sized the space writer ID and remarked: God save the mark!' After the nights work was done that embryo newspaperman had to be told it's significance
 One of the very brightest reporters and editors that ever held sit in New Lon Ion. came here from Chicago, and he said that out in that city the term news papsrman was coming into vogue, but he said. he did not consider himself a news r,aperrnan.

GEORGIA HAS
THRIFT LEADER
ATTORNEY-GEN WALKER Is
DRAWING INTEREST ON MONEY
HE EARNED WHILE AT SCHOOL.

Hon. Cliffod Walker, attoreny gen.
eral for Georgia, is a strong believer
in thrift. He has practiced il from boy
hood and an interesting story is told
of his early experience.
When a small boy he earned some
money, which was placed in his
fathers drawer for safe keeping. Oc-
casionally Clifford would go over and
look at the money TO be sure it was
there and enjoy the satisfaction Of
knowing that he had it. One day he
missed the money and in great con-
sternation told his father about 1t.
The wise father led him to a safe and
took from an inside drawer a note.
See here. my SON. said he,. this
is your money in the form of a note.
1t draws per cent interest and 1t
works for You while you are asleep"
That taught me a lesson about the
use of money" said Mr.. Walker, land
all through boyhood 1 made II my
business to earn all the money 1 could
and save it. For some time I delivered
every copy of the Atlanta Journal that
went to my town. During Christmas
sold candies and during court week 1
kept a lemonade stand. Sometimes I
sold cigars. In various ways I accu-
mulated quite sum and by the time
I had finished school had $500 saved
UP. am still drawing interest on that
money.
I am glad to see people investing
their money in savings stamps. 1t will
be Godsend to them in times of
emergency"
Mr.. Walker holds that the invest
ment of county sinking funds in treas
ury savings certificates is legal. OF
course, the treasury savings certifi-
Gates in 500 and 81 600 denominations
are government obligation just as
much as a government bond and pay
approximately the same interest as the
fourth series of Liberty bonds. The
treasury savings certificates, however.
have distinct advantage over the
bonds. in that they may be redeemed
on demand at the treasury department
and the holder will receive ali that he
put in. plus interest. If he leaves the
certificates until their maturity at the
/ end of five years, he will receive some
| thing over 4 per cent.
Another advantage of these treas.
ury savings certificates is that the
lhteAe eet Is compounded automatically.
liz you buy bonds it is necessary TO
cash the coupons semi annually and
/ then you must re-invest in order to
compound the interest. On amounts
OF moderate size the interest will not
/ be large enough to invest readily in a
+. loan In the savings certificates it is
/ invested for yqm for period of five
| years. Then yoh can get the princina
and re-invest it if you like in a new
| series of savings certificates.

the way of political strength. He is
better known in EScaubia county
which is usually & pivotal point in
district elections. IN Santa Rosa coun-
ty Harry win have The support o. his
father, conceded to be a leader in that
county as well as in Walton and Okla
loosa counties. With these advantages
Mr.. Thompson has. very good chance
to win.
The entrance of Mr.. Thompson into
the race for state attorney leaves the
field for county solicitor to VIII Fisher
and Walter Kehoe. With only the
two entered. the race should be ex-
tremeIy close. The office is one of
the most important IN the county and
either candidate can fiji it capably.
So after wandering through the
ever growing list OF county candidates,
with a short digression to look over
Harry Thompson's chances. this tale
finally arrives at what it started to
say. In nearly every case the decision
has already been made. Wise OBJ
servers OF things political know who
will win and who will lose. The list
will not be written here, although it
could be. But this is a suggestion
for those who are due to lose, to save
their money and buy shoes for the
baby.

pieces. and lack of information and
indifference on the part of the house,
keeper as to the high nutritive value
and palatability of such portions.
'As a consequence good meat at
low prices Is dragging in the market,
while meat from the same animal
which is no more nourishing but Is
four times as costly is in great de-
rnano. For example, recent wholesale
quotations from the western market
sho~ that the best grade short loins
whence come fine steaks) have been
selling wholesale as high as 50 cents
porrad, while the best grade chucks
from the Identical steer have been
selling at l5 cents. The chuck portion
was raised on the same feed as the
loin portion. It would yield nutritious
steaks. tasty roasts. pot roasts, stews,
and corned beef.
Table d'hote luncheon menus very
clearly show that the metropolitan
hotels have learned the advantage of
usinf. inexpensive cuts. The great
majority of the meat dishes in the
table d'hote luncheons of many we'll
known hotels and restaurants are made
from inexpensive cuts. Husbands or
der and enjoy at luncheon portions of
meat which their wives rarely or never
buy for the home table.
THE housewife holds in her own
hand the remedy for very high meat
prices. BY turning away from the ex-
pensive to the inexpensive I'ts she
not only will lower her own meat bills.
but will drive down the price of the
choice cuts; furthermore, she will
make it possible for meat to be mer-
chandised more economically. With
the present unequal demand for the
various cuts at retail. some meat is
diverted to other than it's natural uses
and other meat is tasted. This loss is
ultimately borne by the consumer.
The department of justice pur-
poses with tho aid of the consumer TO
correct this situation. Fair price COM
missioners in every state will be
asked TO direct and take part in the
campaign of education. The matter
will be brought to the attention Of
civic clubs and women's organizations
Retailers, wholesalers and packing
companies throughout the country will
be asked to appoint conference COM
mittees to cooperate with the fair
price commissioners. Recipes, charts
ana posters viii be prepared and dis.
tributed widely. Specific weeks will
be designated in various parts of the
country for featuring the inexpensive
cuts
The department of justice will
Keep close eye on market conditions
70 make sure that the consumer re-
ceives good meat at low prices. and
that IL the consumer turns 10 the
cheaper cuts. no Illicit profit shall be
taken thereon. Equalization OF demand
should make for better merchandising
and lower level of prices. At the
present time hindquarters of beef are
selling for 10 cents a pound more than
forequarters of beef. Many persons

be fed with care and that enough be
given.
Young chicks should not be fed for
from "a to Sc hours after Matching,
and will not suffer if not given any
feed until the third day. The yolk OF
the egg, which is absorbed by the
chick furnishes all the nourishment
required during this time 1t is this
provision of nature for the first sus-
tenance of the chick that makes il
possible TO ship newly hatched chicks
considerable distances.
At the start it is advisab BILE to feed
five times a day alternating a mash
or soft feed. such as johnnycake, with
a hard grain or scratch feed. An ideal
scratch feed can be made from five
pounds of cracked corn, three of
cracked wheat, two of pinhead oat-
meal, hulled or rolled oats. Feed morn
ing, noon and night, scattered in chaff
litter
A good soft feed. can be made from
five pounds of corn meal, six infertile
eggs, ard one tablespoon of baking
soda. Mix with milk to make stiff
batter, and bake well. Feed in the
middle or fore and afternoon Tor the
first ten days or two weeks. When in
fertile eggs are not available, use
double the quantity of baking soua
and add one-half pound of sifted beef
scrap. Infertile eggs are those that
been tested out by sitting or incubator.
Any tender green stuff may be fed
to baby chicks. Sprouted oats are good.
Little chicks should be supplied con-
stantly with fresh water, either in
shallow pans or small drinking foun-
tains.
