Manager Lewis of Orpheunn Theatre
 Puts Down $50.

As manager of the Orpheuna theatre J. F. Lewis has been called upon to do so and has paid $50 as a, special emergency tax under the act that be- comes effective today. This amount is for a period of eight months and is house. which has a seating capacity just under 800. Theatre managers in towns in this county complain that they pay the same rate of taxes as do houses of similar size in large cities, where the business done is much great CT than is possible here, so they feel they are paying a higher percentage of tax on their business than is the case in the larger towns.

 Since the enemy desisted from att tacks in force, the fighting has been resolved into competition in sniping and small affairs on the outposts all along the line, where positions are con- tested with rifles, hand grenades, bombs, mortars and mines.
 AeropIanes Dropped 12o Eombs- "Our aAroplanAs have been specially active in the last two days, having dropped i30 bombs"
 The account refers to several in- stances in which German attacks were rep1lsed, particularly on Nov. 23, to the south of the River Lys. There, it is said. the Gurkhae did considerable execution at close quarters. They even penetrated some of the German trench e., where thcy wieided their peculiar curved swords with great effect.

REVENUE STAMPS IN PLENTY
Secured By First National Bank
 Enough 10 Supply Local Needs

~FT'$ ANSSAS
 The First National bank has come to the rescue of Putnam people who have been worrying about getting the new new revenue stamps. use of which becomes necessary today. The bank received a generous supply Monday and will supply them to any persons who may have need Of them
 The stamps at the bank are in all denominations, from 1-2 cent up to $i Today another allotment of stamps is expected, this lot to include some of the smaller fractional denominations.
 The stamp service by the bank is purely for accommodation. There has been such a clamor here during the last few days about the stamps and means of getting them that the officials decided to buy 8 supply. This act is certain to be fully appre- ciated and turned to advantage by many local people, who have haunted the post office, the offices of a4tor- neys and other places where they hoped to get stamps or some inform ation as to how and where a supply could be obtained.
 The bank holds enough stamps to meet the immediate needs of the peo- ple or the city. Monday the agents Of transportation companies in town received small allotment Of stamps, enough to start them on the weeks business, and more will be supplied as needed.
 Some of the tobacco dealers and others are required to pay a tax under the new law. and before December 1, have not done so, not because they are not willing to comply with the law, but because they have been un- able to get the necessary blanks and instructions.
 Manager W. L. Moran of the local telephone exchange issued a notice Monday calling the attention of the public to the fact that the cent extra charge on toll line calls of Is cents and over becomes effective today.

BIG POSTAL SAVINGS BUSINESS
So Great During November That Funds SwelIed Over to Norwich and Hartford.

Figures that probably will be is- sued today are expected to show that November was record month for postal savings deposits at the Put. nam post office. Postmaster Letters said Monday that the business in this department has been surprising during the past 30 days. The increase fSl deposits is believed to be due to the fear of many alien residents of the city and vicinity that attempts to fol- law the usual practice of sending mon ey to destinations in the war-snept countries of Europe may result in it's loss, owing to the greatly disturbed and otherwise abnormal conditions.
 The deposits have been so heavy this month that the local national bank s allotment of postal savings funds hav- ing been reached, it was necessary to make deposits in Norwich and Hartford Danielson's national bank, another depository for postal savings funds from this of11ce. also received

sums from here. An order has been received here now announcing that the First National of Putnam has qualified to carry an increased amount of postal savings deposits.
 While the European war is un- doubtedly one of the great helps to booming the local post office's bank ing business, the fact that the Put nam Savings bank Is not receiving deposits is another big factor in di- recting local savings into Uncle Sam's charge.
