thousand dollars, and so far as know
each and every family has been furn.

possibly FIVE OF six thousand dollars

With the exception of blankets being
furnished and the food and clothing
which has already been mentioned, I
know OF no other service being done
for these unfortunate people, many
of whom are living five, and more
families to house, and others in

Gibson Gardner, who has been a

that nothing ought to surprise him,
has been poking his nose into the
pages OF that prosy old publication, the
Congressional Record OF late, and the
following Is the result:

gressional Record is beias filled up
with speeches for political consump.

delivered. In the bound and perma.

they appear as II really delivered, and
Of course 1t is made to appear as II the
Congressman was really speaking from
the floor Of the House OF Representa-.
ttyes. Sometimes realistic touch like
applause" Is added for this purpose.
It Is unusual, however, for a man who
is not In Washington to get his speech
printed as II talking on the floor. Mr..
Barnhart, Of Indiana. has achieved
this result. Mr.. Dixon arose the other

recent outbreak of rabies in the. south western part of the state, from New Haven westward. The commits sioner believes the situation serious and urges all dogs in the state be re- stricted to their owners premises. He also advocated the killing of strange dogs by the proper authorities.
 MT. Phelps pointed out the fact that sheep raising in Connecticut had fail- ed. owing to the large number of dogs in the state. The sheep raising indus try, which could be made a profitable one in Connecticut. is entirely at the mercy of the dogs, said the commits sioner, who believes the dog problem In connection with the sheep question should be brought up before the com ing session of the general assembly.
 "The only thing to do at the pres ent time." said the commissioner, lis to restrict all dogs to their owners premises. There are too many strange dogs wandering around in the state. It seems pity that the sheep industry is at the cercy of any strangs dogs wandering about. The hill land of the state could be proftably used for sheep raising if dogs were kept at home. I believe if owners were forced to keep their dogs on their premises and made responsible for damages the dogs cause, the number of canines in this state would decrease remarkably. Under present conditions sheep are

unable to live and thrive, and sheep raisers have lost heart. If dogs are to continue their freedom, sheep raising in Connecticut will be wiped out alto gether.
 "I would compel every man who owns a dog to keep it so confined on his premises that it will be unable to invade another mans property. The seriousness of this dog question is
 generally recognized. Governor Hol- comb, himself, has commented upon it and I understand some measure will be brought before the legislature in an effort to remedy the condition" The situation regarding rabies is
 considered serious in the southwest
 ern part of the state. Outbreaks of
 rabies have been reported from New Haven, Hamden, Danbury, Ridgefield,
 Naugatuck, Middlebury and points ad-
 jacent to New York state. In Vest chester county, New York, outbreaks have also been reported, but it is a question if the trouble originated in
 the adjoining state.

For failure to have these returns in the hands of the collector of internal reve- nue on or before March 1, 1917, the penalty is $20 to $1,000, and the as- Sessment is increased 50 per cent
 Taxpayers should bear in mind that these returns should be sworn to be- fore a notary public or other officer authorized by law to administer oaths this includes deputy collectors of in ternal revenue. All blanks give full and explicit instructions necessary to complete the returns.
 Withholding agents on bonds, ac- crued interest, etc., must file their an- nual report on or before March 1, 1917 Particular attention is invited to the act of Sept. 8, 1916, which reads that on form 1040, revised, to include all income derived from within the United States.
