Pump Is Safer Than Open Well.

health officers are coming to be-

greatest protection to ordinary

Revenue to Meet War Losses.

NeVenue to Meet War Losses.
Washington, Sept. 25.-The
administration war revenue bill,
imposing additional tax on beer,
domestic wines and gasoline,
and special taxes on theatres
and certain dealers, and stamp
taxes, estimated to produce $1O5,-
100000 within a yea1, was pass
ed late today by the house, 234

The bill now goes to the
senate.
All the Republicans and all the
Progressives, except Representa-

against the bill, and they were
joined by 1l:Democrats: Repre-

Representative Hobson, a
Democrat declared the temper
ance forces opposed any tax on
beer on the principal that the
government should not be de-
pendent in any way on alcohol.
The bill would impose an ad

on beer, 2 cents gallon an gas
ollne, 20 cents a gallon on sweet
wines and II cents on dry wines,
stamp taxes on railway and
steamboat tickets, brokers' con-

Secretary McAdoo wrote Rep
resentative Underwood TODAY
that total treasury receipts for
the present fiscal year up to
"wednesday exceeded those for

was accounted for by the $12,-
100000 derived from the sale of
two oattleships to Greece and by
the fact that SIS, ,732,255 of the cor
poration and income tax for the
previous fiscal year was not paid
until the first ten days of July,
1914.
The actual increase in ordl-
nary internal revenue collections
for this fiscal year to August 81,
compared with a year ago, was
$2,l39,643. There was a decrease
of $5SS,l66 in July, of which
429,336 was on distilled spirits.
In August there was an increase
of $2,727,SO9 over the cores
ponding period, the increase in
revenue from distilled spirits ag-
gergating $3,326,6O2.
e "The increased revenue on
distilled spirits in August" Sec
retary McAdoo added, follow

months, unquestionably was due
to the expectation or fear of dis

With a dearth of of cash on ev
cry hand. indications are that the
business of raising poultry will
have more stimulus this fall and
winter than for any time in years.
lhe reason for this is that the
poultry business is one of the
most easily and quickly profita-

poultry and small expense for

that the industrious hen is about
to come into her own in this
State and that. once established
as moneymaker on South Car

forsaken.
F.C Hare, poultry husband
man of Clemson College, urges
the raising of poultry now as
quick source of frevenue. Hens.
he states, will lay in this State
all winter if fed an egg mash of
cottonseed and grain. Their
eggs find ready sale anywhere
and there is no reason why the
value of the industry in this
State cannot be Increased to
compare favorably with its val
lie in nearby States.
Our hens do not now pro.
duce sufficient eggs for our own
tables" according to Mr.. Hare,
but we are compelled to i'm
port eggs from as far off as Kan
sas. North Carolina and Ten
nesse ship us thousands of cases.
All this, though we can haye in
our poultry a revenue-maker for
the farmers family that does not
demand time or money from

How to Increase the Demand

Referring to the existing de-

BALDWIN GETS AFTER
 SELEC1MEN OF TOWNS
Governor Calls Their Atten- ton to Law Regarding
 SignpOsts.

Hartford July 2s-Many a mile has Governor Baldwin walked over the highways of the state. and more miles have been covered by him on his bicycle. He has, apparently, found that many "four-corners" were not properly marked by guide posts, for today in a letter to the selectmen of towns he calls attention to the law which makes such an officer liable to fine of $5 for each and every fail ure to properly mark the roads. He also pointed out that guide posts are needed for the convenience of auto- mobilists.
 In the letter the governor says: rI desire to call your attention to the present statute regarding guide posts. Formerly there was a for feiture by the town where they were not set up or kept up: now the select men are personally liable to a crim- inal prosecution and fine. Formerly guide posts were required only where it was necessary or convenient for the direction of travellers; now they are required at every four-corners' or place where two highways cross each other"
 The governor quotes the law, which says that on the guide post shall be the figure of hand with the fore finger pointing towards town or place, or an arrow indicating such direction This does not apply with in corporate limits of cities and bor- oughs.
 Continuing the governor says: My business calls me about the state in different quarters, and I have fre- quently noted the absence of guide posts where this statute calls for them. They are peculiarly important in these days of automobiling travel ing far from ones home. We wish to make Connecticut a favorite resort for automobilists of other states. Plenty of guide posts would help ma terially towards this end
 "The constitution of Connecticut makes it my duty to take care that the laws be faithfully executed have little doubt that in your town there are some and probably many highway crossings unfurnished with the guide posts required by the law. I therefore write to put the obliga- ton of the town and of yourself as it's agent plainly before you, in the hope that this communication may result in a better observance of the requirements of the law throughout the state."
 The letter is signed Yours re- spectfully, Simeon E. Baldwin, Gov ernor"

Chief Rawlings Learns From His Son of TumultuOus Times in
 Helena. Mont.

Chief w. H. Rawlings, of the local police department, today received a paper from his son, Ernest Rawlings, who is located at Helena. Mont, which contains an interesting account of a rabid scrap between the mayor, chief of police and common council of that city.
 According to the account in the pa per the mayor is opposed to Chief of Police F1annery and before his cleo tion made the statement that he would "get him. if elected. He later denied these statements. However, at the last council meeting one of the alder men arose to the floor to report as chairman of the committee on the fire department but was not recog- nized by his honor.
 When the alderman insisted that he be recognized the mayor yelled "sit down." This started a young riot, but the mayor was obstinate and so was the alderman. Accordingly the mayor turned to Chief Flannery and told him to use force in making the alderman sit down. The chief de- clined.
 eff you don't force him to sit down at once I'll suspend you," threatened the mayor.
 'All right, go ahead and suspend me-" replied the chief amidst the cheers of the councilmen.
 The mayor did so and now Chief Flannery is laid off for ten days with out pay and the city administration is plunged into a chaos.
