cold Home wsekp In Cheshire County

The towns of Cheshire county will OBJ
serve cold Home week" this year in a
manner similar to that of last year Gov.
Rollins's idea has resulted in more gener-
al celebration than was previously the
case, Walpole and other towns joining the
ranks of the celebrants, but practically the
same sort of a celebration has been in
vogue in several towns of the county for
nearly quarter of a century, under the
name of the town picnic" which differed
in no essential from the cold Home week"
observance, except in being more limited
in duration. Swanzey end Nelson were
the pioneers in this sort of celebration.
The town of Nelson has held its annual
town picnic for % years, and will hold one
as usual this year. Swanzey will doubt
less do the same.

Lester H. Bi1by, IS years old, was fatal
ly injured by kick from a horse, Thurs
day, at Charlemont, and died without re-
gaining consciousness. He was visiting a

died in the long bridge, across the Deer

Burglars broke into the post-office at
Petersham Sunday morning and stole $500
in stamps and $3.50 in cash belonging to
the postmaster, Charles F. Forbes. A
blacksmith shop was first entered and tools
for the work at the post-ofice were stolen.
There is no clue to the burglars. The safe
was blown open, but no one in the centre
of the town heard the shock, except two
girl boarders near by. They mistook the
noise for thunder.
The ringing of the bells at Bernardston,
Saturday afternoon, was for a fire on the

fire was subdued but broke out again Sun
day about 10 o'clock, and ragged furiously
for few hours. Many assisted in the eff
fort to put it out on both days. On Sun
day 90 men from Turner's Falls came up
and worked hard The tops of about 200cords
of standing wood were badly burned, and
many cords of wood piled up were destroy
ed. The loss was fully 5000. Erwin Streeter
has a lot adjoining the one burned, and
there was about 90 cords of wood piled
there, but it was saved.

Northnsld Must Pay.

The finding of the commission apportion-
ing the cost of the Mortified bridge was
affirmed by the court just before adjourn
ment, but not without opposition from
Charles L. Gardner of Springfield, who as
counsel for the town of Northfeld contend
ed that 70 per cent was an unjust proper
ton for that town to pay of the cost, while
the town of Gill, situated on the opposite
side of the river, was only to be assessed
per cent. He showed the taxable value of
Mortified to be but slightly more than
81, 900, 900, with no manufacturing plants
and depending on agriculture almost en-
tirely for its revenues. The bill authoriz-
ing the building of the bridge provided that
not more than so per cent of the cost of
maintenance should be assessed on the town
of Mortified, and it was Lawyer Gardner g
contention that this applied equally to first
cost.

Death Of Mrs. AnseI Field.

Mrs. Ansel Field, for most of her life
resident of Mortified, passed away at her
home on Monday after an illness of many
months duration attended by great suffer
ing. Mrs. Field was a native of Unity, n.
H., but since her marriage to Mr.. Field has
lived in this town, except a short time in
Winchester, where she died. Although
she knew she could not recover she has ex-
hibited the greatest fortitude and cheer
fulness, at all times planning for the COM
fort of her family after she was gone. She
has received untiring care from her child
rem, her daughter, Alta, not having left
her bedside for months, except to seek a
little rest. She has not left the house for
over a year, except twice for a very short
time. Mr.. Field is confined to his bed and
feels the loss most keenly in his great
feebleness. The funeral was held from her
late home on Tuesday, a clergyman from
Winchester officiating Many and beauti-
full flowers we're sent by friends. She is
survived by one son, Herbert, of this place
and two daughters, Miss Alta and Mrs.
Mabel Kendrick, who lived with her, also
one sister, Mrs. Landman Nye.

COMMENT on WAR TAX REDUCTION
BANKERS PLEASED But BROKERS DIS
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS BY

HENRY cLEws.

There was much discussion yesterday among
bankers and brokers in this city over the bill
which Chairman Payne OF the Ways and Means
Committee introduced in the House on Wednesday
reducing taxation under the War Revenue act
Bankers as rule seemed pleased with the changes
affecting their business but brokers were disap-
pointed because the bill retains the stamp tax on
corporate stocks. bonds sales. etc. at exchanges
or boards OF trade. Said Henry Clews.
In time Of war this tax was imposed. and il was
cheerfully borne. Now that war Is over the burden
should be removed. and If not removed wholly II
Should certainly be reduced by 50 per cent II war
comes on again there would be protest at having
the tax put back. but now i is burdensome and II
falls upon the investing public, not upon the broker,
as many suppose The investor must pay the
brokers' commission and the tax as well NOW

Those who want to use luxuries like beer and to-
bacco. ought to be willing TO pay a tax thereon

from those who invest their money in stocks and
bonds.
