New System For Distribution of Coal
Beginning Wednesday, Jaz 2 Coal Will be Issued Only Written Order by Consumer-Gas and Electric Plant AL Without Coal-Barge With 800 Tons of Hard Coal Ashore Baldwin's Island in Thames.

of the local institutions and clubs have an ample coal supply but the Y. M. c. A. has only two tons on hand, enough only for a very short time. However they expect coal before the present scant supply is exhausted.
 Owing to the weather conditions the local dealers have been allowed to charge $l0.25 per ton for hard coal delivered at the customers house and $5.40 for a half ton delivered. However, if the customer brings his own team to the yard he can get his coal for S1o a ton. There is still a serious short age of soft coal !n the city and all complaints received by the local fuel committee are being referred to the central committee inIIartford.
 At present there are 800 tons of ccS-l in the city and 800 more tons at Bald wins Island in the Thames river near the Poquetanuck DraWbridge. A barge consigned to a local dealer ar rived in New London Saturday and the tug opened a channel up the river. The tug went back for the barge and in towing the barge up the river man aged to get it aground. Over Sat urday night the barga froze hard and fast to the island and the efforts of the tugs to break the ice around it Sunday proved useless. A represen- tatiWe of a steamboat company here said Sunday night that even if the tugs should get the barge off the is : land which was doubtful they would me able to break a channel up to the city.

INCOME TAX
Collector Will Be at Postofsice For
 Nearly Two Months.


 It will require small army of men to take the income tax returns ef persons subject to the new law
 Collector of Internal Revenue James, ,. Walsh today announced that 4o officers will start from his head uary 2nd every one of them will be on the, job in the city or town as- signed him, to meet the people and help them make out their income tax returns. The officer assigned to Nor wich is due to arrive Jan. ?, 1918, and will remain until March ?, 1918, both dates inclusive. He will have his of flee in post office where he may be found every day Of the dates stated
 "It will he we'll for every unmar- ried person whose net income for 1917 is s1.0G0 or over. and every married person living with wife or husband whose net income for 1917 is s2,009 or over, to call on the income tax man and learn whether or not they have any tax to pay" Collector Walsh said today. The person subject to tax who doesn't return in time prescribed nnert will get after all income tax s.ackers.
 There's hardly a business man, merchant professional man who won't have to make return of income Farmers, as a class, will have to pay the tax. The safe thing to do is for every person who had a total income of s1,0o8 or s2,o00 as the case may be. and who is not sure about what deductions the law allows him to play 1t safe by calling on the income tax man.
 "The men in the field will have forms for everybody and persons who expect to call on him need not trou- bic themselves to write to the co1- .ector's office for forms"

Beginning Wednesday. January 2, 191S no more coal will be sold by the retail dealers of the city unless the purchaser signs a written order on a triplicate form stating how much coal pected to last. One of the triplicate forms will be retained by the purchas- CT and must be presented by him be- fore he can secure more coal. Tho coal deale- will retain another and the third will go to the fuel commit tee. The object of the system is to prevent some families securing plen- ty of coal while others secure none at all. Letters from State Fuel Admin : istra tor T. w. Russell explaining the system together with the blank forms will be distributed to the coal deal CTS hy Chairman M. E. Jensen of the local fuel committee today. The dis tribution to consumers will remain the hame, that is. ton to a family at a time and two tons at a time to the larger buildings.
 The situation at the local Gas and Electric plant is practically the same as it has been for the past few weeks. They have only very small surplus of coal on hand and while there are thirty car loads of coal on the way consigned to them it cannot be stat ed definitely when they will arrive. Formerly it took a carload Of coal about seven days to reach NorWlch from the mines. but under the pres ent transportation conditions it takes from two weeks to two months. Most

FOOD ApMINl
 CoMMENDS JEWETT CITY Says That the People of That Place Have Set an Example fer the Peo- pie of the State.

The Publicity Bureau of the state food administration says:
 In a recent issue of the Norwich Bulletin was a Jewett City news item which has greatly interested both the Hartford and the Washington offices of the United States Food Adminis tration, the article reading as follows:
 The food conservation reports from 62 of the Congregational church fam flies for the week ending December s, shows 122 more "Wheatless meals" and l9 more "nleatless meals" than the food commissioner asked for. Three families only reported any waste, and those only one meal each. A card collector reports that one woman said that she hoped that after the last of December when this campaign closes, she hoped the food commissioner will devise some similar scheme for next year, for it is like a game, this seeing whether you can do what you are asked to. She is one who wins the game" with a large margin in her favor.

 Tn addition there were received pledges amounting to $1s3. to be paid monthly from January to June.

Charles IT. Rioketts. chairman, H. 4. Tirrell, Mrs. ?. A Mitchell. Miss Susan Hunting ter. Robert MoNee1ey and Herman Alafsin. End.

SOUND DOCTRINE

War costs money as well as blood,
and the government should feel as
free to draft wealth as it does to
draft men.
The principle is sound. Why not
draft money? If the citizen must
give his life to enable his country to
carry on war, why should the prop
erty owner be dealt with more leni-
entity? Is money more precious than
blood? AS long as the poor will do
the fighting, the men of large wealth
may be indifferent. They may even
profit by army contracts, but the
drafting of property would give to
the big owner a realizing sense OF
the sacrifice for which war calls.
BY all means let money and men be
put upon the same basis, at least, let
us not put money above men, w.

set at the jobs they can do best. That
Is sensible. The CONSUMPTION plan for
the army should be so worked out
that the heaviest drafts will be made
from the eastern cities, and the light
est from the farm sections of the
west, because the western farm boy
is worth more to the country on the
farm than in the army.
The scarcity of farm help is not a
new experience. For several years
past it has been increasingly diff
cult to secure good help, even at high
prices This is the logical result of
the trend to the cities during the
past 10 years. The problem is much
IN ore serious this year due to the
demand for workmen in the factories
the desire TO enlist, and the killing
out of winter wheat and clover, thus
increasing the amount of ground that
will be put III corn. Therefore, those
who want to help the farmer in
crease his production this year can
help most effectively, not by trying
to tell the farmer what to do, but
by helping him get the labor to do it.
