Two Little MiIk-Fsd Does Going to

County Game Warden Arthur Day
has two young deer that he is to send
to the state game farm at Madison.
Both fawns are does, one about two
months, the other about three months
of age. Both came from the town Of
Eastford.
One was found in the woods, SEEM
ingly lost, the other was picked up in
an oatfield soon after it's birth. The
animals were well taken care of dur
ing the time they were in possession
of the Eastford guardians. They were
fed on milk, each consuming about
two quarts day, and all the time Civ

ually the novelty wore off for the keep
ers. while the expense account showed
no indication of diminishing, and ap-
plication was made to the state. game
commissioner that he take the animals
over and compensate the keepers for
the expense they had been to in caring
for them.
Mr.. Day brought the deer to his place
on the Williamsville road and has been
keeping them in the barn. He found
them so tame that they would follow
him about like puppies and as playful
as could be. They are beautiful little
animals Mr.. Day has continued them

menu consisting of a variety of leaves.
At the state game farm, where they
will be located at once, the little deer
will have two young companions, Sc
cured in a manner similar to that in
which they came into captivity in an
other part of the state.

the recent prediction made by Judge
Gary at San Francisco will prove true
The end may not come fmmedi-
ately, but 1t will come sooner than
expected by many, including some of
those who are most actively partici-
pating. Throughout our own land we
are to have industrial peace, and as a
consequence greater prosperity than
ever before. Success in business has
again become popular. Those who at
tack or obstruct legitimate thrift will
be given a seat upon the toboggan-"

it's deposits and the resumption of
dividends at the earliest possible mo-
ment, consistent with sound banking.

Total
Increase in Assets

Increase in Assets
It will be noted that the assets on
July II, 1915, exceed those of October
1, 1914 by SIS, The State tax
of IA of per cent since that time
has amounted to $6,743.24 and the
running expenses to $2,904.84 which
added to the increase in assets make
a total of S99,361.35 which is the
amount of interest the bank has re-
ceived since October 1. The deposits
remain the same at $2,74I, Zs0-2l,
leaving the net dificit at this time on
the books of the bank $8,357.42. The
interest due the bank on or before
September amounts to about $4,000
which will cancel the dfflcit accord
ing to the appraisal Of July 2, 1914.
Mortgage, Town and City Loans In
crease.
There is an increase of $20,60S.75
In the mortgage loans, an increase of
SAG, 600 in the loans to towns and
cities and the bonds Of towns and
cities remain at $333,525, the same as
on October list; the railroad bonds
have not changed in amount, being
$1,772,750.
The loan committee has considered
every application which has been
made to the bank for mortgage loans
in this vicinity and have authorized
what they considered reasonable
loan in every instance, bearing in
mind that the Connecticut Statutes
limit the amount which the bank can
loan to SO per cent of the appraised
value Of the property. They have al
so granted all applications for loans
from this and surrounding towns and
all loans on approved collateral Sc
curity.
Convenient Loaning System.
Sept. 81, 1914 the trustees voted to
loan depositors on their pass books
at the rate of per cent per annum
up to 5000; at 8 per cent from $500
to $500; and at 6 per cent from $500
to $1,000; in no case loaning over so
per cent of the amount on a book or
over $1,000. The loans on pass books
now amount to $145,756.9S. The de-
positors who have borrowed have
done so, in nearly every case, to sup
ply a business requirement or per-
sonal need. The majority OF the
loans are in amounts of less than
5000 and there are only three who
have borrowed up to the limit of
$1,000. BY this plan those who need
ed part of their deposit to use could
secure the same by paying a moderate
interest rate, which provided another
source of income to the bank and
helped to hasten the day when 1t could
resume dividends.
The loan committee recommend that
this plan be continued for the present,
as 1t Is equitable and provides for the
needs Of deposltors and through the
application Of the-Earious rates In

There has been much complaining OF
the careless use Of firearms in the
StilImanville section. The climax was
reached Sunday afternoon when a big
charge of bird shot spent it's force In
the residence of the Gingrellis family
on Canal street. A number OF children
were in the yard at play at the time
and the shot passed over their heads
and were embedded in the building. A
scattered shot cracked a pane of glass
in the residence of r. J. Rooney. The
man behind the gun is known and he
evidently miscalculated the range as
he surely had no intent to do injury
on that special occasion.

Aims of Bank.
As stated in the report of the ap-
praisal of the bank by Messrs. Cut
Ter, Richter and Beadle. The primary
object Of a savings bank, and its
greatest function, is to safely guard
the principal of deposits received. and
to return such principal intact to the
depositors when needed
