 Send Holiday Parcels Earlyi
 At the local postofflce as at all offices of importance in this section of the state the parcel post business Is grow ing by leaps and bounds. Postmaster c. A. Potter has already received notf- f1cation from the postoff1ce depart ment to request patrons to ship Christmas packages 10 to 12 days be- fore the holiday as indications are that the department will be swamped with business and early transmission is required to insure timely delivery. What is true in the postofflces must necessarily be likewise on mail trains where many clerks are getting loads of parcel post matter to handle and oft en have more than they can cope with On a recent evening a train through Danielson was carrying parcel post matter in a baggage car of the train on account of the crowded condition of the mail car.
 Retrenchment or Higher Tax Rates.
 "KillingIy will be in the hands of the usurers within few years unless retrenchment is practiced in expendi- lures or more money is produced in revenue through increased taxation" is the way one prominent citizen sizes up the local situation. At present the tax rate in this. town is 12 mills and the assessment basis on the grand per centage of property is full value of property. Many citizens advocate a. careful study of the towns financial condition that it may be kept in proper standing. Their belief is that expen- ditures must positively be limited or the tax rate raised: that there are no other solutions. There is bright spot in the consideration of this question, though, for there will be a material in crease in the grand list of the town this year it is understood, which means an increased amount of revenue.
 Thoughtful and Practical Charity.
 From the Congregational church, where a special collection was taken and from the Baptist church and from generous and thoughtful individuals there has come to Warden w. l. Bull lard this week gifts of money to be used in charitable work among needy persons in Danielson who are con- fined to their homes by illness. War den Bullard has been using the mon pN, fHA -~1oo @P other things that would prove tempting to persons in ill health and for toys with which the children shut ins may amuSe themselves. This is a feature of relief work that is being ac- cepted with gratitude by all of the benefi charles and Is applauded by all interested in their fellow men.
 Watching Out For Thieves.
 The police in all the towns in this section are now on the alert to capture the perpetrators of a series of burg Iaries, or near-ones that have oc- cured in Danielson, DayVille and Put nam during the present week. No losses of a serious nature have oc- cured as the result of the breaks, but there has been some slight damage to property and the creation of an un- rest that is not relished. It is a pe- culiar fact that the places where att tempts to enter or where entries have actually been effected are ones where a person could not hope to get much money, but the officers feel that there is no telling where the next breaks are to be and they have decided to make a special effort to catch the thieves.
 Building Another House.
 Work has been commenced on the construction of another dwelling on the F, A. Davis property and opposite his home on the Westfield road, This house will be enc more link of the few that are needed te make Danielsen and ElmVille one.
