Voluntary Increase in Tax List of Big N American Thread Company.

Wednesday afternoon at 3.30 o'clock tEe American Thread company filed its tax list for this year with the board of assessors. Accompanying the lists were nine typewriter pages giving de- sCription of the property of the com Iany. Blue print plans of the property were also submitted. The list shows a voluntary increase by the company over the list for the year 1910 of $171.400. The list last year was f$1,- 100000, while that filed Wednesday af- ternoon amounts to s1.571, 400. The list was signed and dated Oct. 31.
 A resume of the list follows: 104 dwellings SS2, ,0o0; ITO acres of land. S13,950: s mills, S1,475, 900; horses, s450; total. S1,571 400.
 Investments in mechanical and man ufacturing operations are nowhere ns entioned in the list. The question now being revolved in the minds of the public is How much more will the board of assessors raise the list as fIed?" If the board boosted the fig ures u9 to the S3.000, 900 mark there is little dotbt if anyone would complain very strenuously save the American Thread company officials themselves. The local plant is twice as large as any of the eompany's other plants. and in Holyol1e he company is assessed for upwards of s2,000,0o0 worth of property

 Plan

A definite plan is the foundation of success in saving.
 It doesn't make much differ ence what the plan of saving is, so long as it's systematic. Some people never spend the dimes they get-they put them in con- venient home savings bank.
 Some men shave themselves and drop into the bank the money they would have to pay the bar Der. Others walk to the office and save the carfare.
 You can select any plan which suits you. Regularity in your saving is the essential thing.

 Peacocis at Palmer Farm.
 Those who have occasion to pass by the farm of c. c. Palmer are in terested to see the beautiful pea cock and hen owned by his son, William R.
 
 The hen lays a litter of eggs each year, which in size and marking re semhIe those of the common bronze turkey.
 They are master hands at nest steal ing and the fact that they can fly a mile with ease makes finding their nests difficult task. Their eggs are valuable and find a special market ir Hartford at q fancy price. A nest with five eggs was found by Mir. Palmer recently in an obscure corner of the attic. The bird had entered through d small open window up in the gable always at early dawn, thus escaping detection. MT. Palmer has made re- peated attempts to breed from his two birds, but without success. The eggs always hatch all right, but the chicks are extremely delicate in this latitude and take cold and die with the least wetting. Most peculiar Nis the fact that if the chick strays from the moth CT bird and is lost for a short time, he grves up, lies down in the grass and dies, evidently from fright MT. Palner's birds are worth sc5.
