 It was said Thursday that the as-
 sets of the corporation exceed the lia-
 bilities, not including profits on con
 tracts that are now under way, but
 the corporation has not the money to
 proceed with the work on the con
 tracts, and the season for out door
 work in the construction line has ar
 rived. The corporation is capitalized
 at S45,000, and it was said that the
 volume of business done by the cor
 poration has been greater than the limited capital warranted. To add to
 the embarrassment of shortage of
 capital, some of the money due the
 corporation on contracts has been
 garnisheed and some of it's machin- cry has been attached to secure judg ment on claims in suits brought by
 creditors. It is not expected that there will be any let up in the activi- ties of the corporation, for Mir. Hol- den, under his appointment, has au- thOrity to carry on the work, and this authority will be followed by an or der Of the court permitting the receiv- CT to borrow money. The hearing on the confirmation of the appointment will come before Judge Case in the superior court on May Il. Mir. HOl- den qualified as receiver by filing a bond for S2O,C00 yesterday.

 Bank Deposits $2,417,163.
 That workers of this section are
 making something of their opportu- nifty to save money during the unusual period of prosperity is indicated by the steady increase in deposits in To- cal banking institutions. The latest statement of the Brooklyn Savings
 bank shows an increase of $50 900 in deposits over and above the big boost 1 the deposits of this institution showed after taking over the Windham Coun- | ty Savings bank about a year ago. | The deposits of this institution are now shown to have reached $2, ,417, ,163.- | 35, and the latest statement shows a surplus and profits account of $100,- | S36.33, an increase from $90,000 only | a short time ago.

PARAGUARY PROGRESSES. Coming More and More Into ?ro7nin-
ence and People are Hearing of What 1t Is Doing.

Away down in South America, all most in the very heart of the contin- ent, sandwiched in between Bolivia and Brazil on the north and east and Argentina on the south and west is located the heroic little country known as Paraguay. The adjective heroic is used advisedly, for when it comes to patroiotic fighting the world must doff its hat to this little republic. If there ever was a nation that fought ito the last ditch" it is Paraguay, and if there is another instance in his tory-modern, mediaeval, or ancient where a people fought so completely to the point of utter exhaustion, ai- most to extinction, before they ran up the white flag. 1t has been rather care fully concealed. In this particular Paraguay may be said to be about sui generis.
 It Is so far away and SO little vis- ited by people of the United States that perhaps few citizens of the great nothern republic know much more about this very interesting country than its mere geographical location. Of late, however, 1t is coming more and more into prominence and people are beginning to hear something of and to want to know more about it and it's brave inhabitants and of the struggle they are making to advance and take their place among the pro- gressive nations of the earth. In the development of it's fine. natural re- sources the country has doubtless

 The defendant in his own behalf claimed that he was not drunizurd and worked steadily. He accused his wife of doing the family drinking and said he had repeatedly told her to "cut it out" but she wouldn't do 1t.
 A sentence of 90 days was imposed for intoxicaticn and 60 days foe- as sauit. with costs of S1O.s9. The wife began to cry when she saw her hus- band was to be taken away. He vol unteered to give her the money due him at the mill and they would have been in each others arms had the op- portunity been given.

deysloped2 Rather 1t is a wonder that It has made the progress that it has, for after all Paraguay is intellectually and socially by no means backward, and even in industrial improvement 1t has much to show for the 45 years that have elapsed The spirit of the country has never weakened. No sac rifice for the country is too great for any ParaSuayan and no dream Of fu- ture grandeur and progress is too un- real To attain this ideal the country needs outside help. At the basis of this development there must be rail- way and fiuvial improvement. The great Paraguay River is there. with its fine port, Asuncion. the capital of the country, but its docking facilities are grossly inadequate. On October IS. 1915, the Paraguayan Congress
