Uncle SANS Pension Payroll.
New York World.)

\N6W i YIN WOIlu'J
Few people realize the vast
ness of the amounts which are
paid out by the various Govern
ments in the form of pensions 20
veterans of the military and ma
val services and to the widows
and dependents of those who
fought their country's battles.
For many years Uncle Sam has
been the most liberal of these
governmental philanthropists,
his annual disbursements in pen
sions amounting to as high as
SITS, 900, 900 per annum. When
the European war is over every
one of the nations involved will
have to shoulder this tremen-
dous burden of caring for the
disabled warriors and the de-
pendents of thos slain in battle,
and Uncle Sans pension list,
amazing as 10 is, will probably
become comparatively insig-
nificant.
The pension system of the
United States had its beginning
August &c, 1776, when the Con-
tinental Congress undertook to
provide for the disabled soldiers
Of the continental forces. In
1890 the first regular pension
system was established, and
since then, up to the close of the
fiscal year of 1915, the Govern
ment disbursement for pensions
has amounted to nearly $780,
100000. From 1890 to the out
break of the Civil War the total
cost of the pension system of the
United States was less than $500,
100000. The Civil War and the
war with Spain have brought the
total to 81, $40, 304, 1905 at the
close of the 1915 fiscal year.
Pensions aggregating $40, 000,-
600 were paid on account of the
Revolution. The pensioners of
the war of 1872 received a total
of $45, 900, 900. The Indian wars
cost in pensions about Sc, 500, 900.
The Mexican wars pension list
reached a total of about S34 ,000,-
600. Uncle Sam is still paying
for the Civil War and the con-
flict with Spain, and the former
has already cost in pension dis
bursements nearly $4,000,000,
600. The annual disbursements
of the United States pension sys-
tenn in the last ten years have
ranged from $139, 100000 in 1907
to SITS, 900, 900 in 1913. During
Grants first term the average
was only about $30,0OO,OOO a
year. From $6O,OOO,OOO annual
ly during the Garfield admins
tration, the average Ieaped Co
$I3O.000,000 in Harrison's ad-
m nistration, reaching the high
water mark of $175,000,O00 in
the last year of the Taft admin
istration.

BALCONY EXITS FAULTY
Those at Orpheum Theatre Must be Enlarged, By Order of State Police

Acting under the orders of Chief Egan of the State police, Officer AL fred L. Rudd of New London came here Monday afternoon and suspended the license of the Orpheum theatre. The action followed a visitation here by Chief Egan last Saturday, and was taken on the ground that the exits from the balcony are insufficient in size considering the number of seats in that section of the house. Mana ger J. F. Lewis immediately took the matter up by telephone with Chief Egan at Hartford. The result of the conference was that MT. Lewis must close the balcony until such time as changes desired by the police depart ment are completed but the remain der of the house is to be used as usual and the performance was given as usual Monday evening, only seats on the main floor being used. Steps were taken Monday to make the larger ex- it's and the work will be completed. as GHiE4clv.@ s ApoSEible. / -----.-ss .4e

FUN RAJ.
Emma Jane Brown.

At the undertaking rooms of Louis B. Kennedy Monday afternoon at o. clock funeral services for Emma Jane Brown were conducted by William Mason of the Pentecostal church. Bur ial was in WestfeId cemetery.
 Martin Burns has resigned his po- sition with Louis B. Kennedy, with whom he has been associated as an employe for the past 21 years, and has always performed very faithful ser vice. MT. Burns has entered the en- ploy of H. H. Starkweather.
 Polish People Afraid to Build.
 It is a curious fact that Polish res- idents of DanieIson are deterred from investing some of their savings in dwellings is due to the fact that they fear America, will become involved in war. This fear is due to the terrible property losses that have been exper- fenced in war swept Poland. A local Polish resident says that his people here have received many letters and newspapers telling of the utter de- Struction of thousands and thousands in Poland and that many of those who have lost their all have relatives here The talk about this country going to war has therefore had the effect of frightening Danielson Poles into re- training from building.

has been continued. Material for this report is supplied voluntarily by farmers interested in knowing what the local prices are for farm produce. The greater the number of cooperat- ing reporters the greater the accu- racy, and incidentally. the practical value of such a report.
 Boys and Girls Club Work.
 Club members are busy this month. and such projects as have been visit ed by the county agent show results of careful planning and painstaking work. The interest taken by local leaders and their efforts in stinuIat- ing. the interest of the boys and girls is largely. responsible for the success of the work. On June 24th, a confer ence of club leaders was held in the High School building at Central Will lage. All the local leaders in the county except one (absent on account of death in the fanily) were present. A general discussion of club work and leaders problems was followed by a snappy talk by A. J. Brundage on club work Miss Sprague discussed the work of the canning clubs. and club organization. The conference occupied a full afternoon and was voted success by the leaders pres ent. Such get-together meetings are of great value in determining methods Of working out club problems, keep ing up the interest in club work. and promoting 9 healthy rivalry among the clubs located in differ ent parts of the county. This conference of the club leaders was the first of it's kind to be held in the state. Wind ham county is fortunate in having leaders with so much interest and en- thUsiasm in their work.
 Two canning demonstrations were given, one at Westminster, and one at Canterbury Green. Many parents showed interest, as well as the club members. More canning demonstra- tions are scheduled for later in the season.
 Poultry.
 Two demonstrations of caponizing were given by the extension poultry man, Roy B. Jones of Storrs, on June 30th, one in the morning at the Wood stock fair grounds, and one in the afternoon at the Green Acres" farm of Mrs. L. K. Mann, near Attawau- gan.
 Demonstrations of Farm Practice.
 Three demonstrations of spraying with sulfate of iron for the eradica- tion of such weeds as wild turnip, chadlock, etc, in oats were given in the last few days of the month. Re suits will be given in the July report.
 Canning.
 All who are interested in canning and who are not entirely satisfied with the methods they are now using should get in touch with the county agent. The U. S. D. A. has prepared recipes and directions which will en- able anyone to can successfully any fruits, vegetables, greens, etc. Those who have a surplus, or who have a considerable amount of produce that will not sell as No. 1, should plan to can such produce. It will then be kept off the market at this time of year. when it would spoil the sale of high grade produce. It will also be put in such form that it can be stored conveniently, and will be appetizing and nutritious later. Mineral salts and acids in fruits and vegetables are necessary to the health of the human system, and must be included in the food the year round. Ask the county agent for help in your canning, for supplies, equipment, or methods.
