SEND WORD HOME
 FROM THE FRONT
Letters Received by Mrs. Damon
 and Mrs. Gleed

ThAss arc very busy days indeed It tho Red Cross headquarters on Court street. With untiring zeal the women of New Britain are answering to the call for service in behalf of the sol- diers at the front. Cut and haste and sew, cut and haste and sew, that Is the story at the Red Cross rooms. and the garments and supplies arc being turned out by tho dozen.
 The local relief committee is con- centrating it's energies upon those sup- plies for which there seems to be tho greatest need and the work is done ac- cording to the orders from tho nation- al headquarters. The most careful economy is exercised in the purchase of materials and the greatest care Is used to great the most out of the ma terial furnished.
 A most helpful spirit of co-opera- tion in the great and necessary work exists in this city and churches, so- cietfes, fraternal associations, clubs and individuals are all standing up to be counted for service in this field. But despite the great quantities of re- lief material that, are constantly being sent out 1t is a fact that no country has yet had enough of any form of relief. If the need was admitted to be great g year ago 1t takes no great stretch of the imagination to realize that 1t is many times as great today. There can be no halting in this great work of mercy and the women of New Britain are urged to continue the good work which they have so we'll begun.
 The workrooms are delightfully."- cool and comfortable and there Is al- ways plenty to do for those who arc willing to sacrifice few hours of their time to help.
 Most interesting items find their way in the Red Cross rooms on Court street. Among them news of a letter received by Mrs. R. J. Damon of Chestnut street from her brother who. as an officer. is stationed at Khartoum, Egypt. It is of peculiar interest that the letter was written on Y. M. C. A. stationery. For over one year this oficer had been living In. dueouts and he now enjoys the luxury of a bed and bath in barracks, due to the united efforts of Y. M. C.. A. and Red Cross.
 Another item comes from Maple street, from Mrs. James Gleed, whose son. Leonard. left New Britain two years ago to join a Canadian regiment. and who is now somewhere in France" He wrote home that he had found Universal meat chopper in 2 German trench which they had just taken.
 And thus the thread of human ins-.s tersst runs throughout the work. ss'

cut eight weeks, the scholars were told, and the schools will reopen on September 4. During the holiday season, as a compensation, . vacation of two weeks will be given instead of the usual three days. Should the weather around Christmas be warm, however, the vacation, 1t was said, might. be postponed until the latter part of January. when the dres could be let out for two weeks with a greater saving in fuel -sba
 The school authorities are still working on the problem and it Is possible summer vacation in 1918 may be for only one month or less and that the time will be taken for rest and conservation during the following winter.

All of these special taxes will be due
and collectable in January, 1917, for
six months, and the collectors office is
now mailing application blanks to all
persons known to be liable for these
taxes. Failure to receive blank form,
however, does not relieve any person
from liability for payment of the tax.
INCOME TAX.
The normal tax on Individual incomes
is increased from one per cent. to TWO
per cent, and the rates for additional
taxes are re-classifed. The rate on
corporation income is increased from
one per cent. to two per cent
One of the important changes. Is IN
the withholding provision of the law,
which requires that all persons, hrms
or companies in whatever capacity act
ing. having the disposition or payment
of income of another person, are re-
ouired to make and render return and
to withhold the tax. This provision
applies to the governing bodies OF
churches, social clubs, and all other
organizations. For the year 1916 only
one per cent. will be withheld at the
source, the other one per cent. will be
paid by the individual return.
All individuals who have a net in
come of So, 100000 are required to make
returns. regardless of the source of
said income.
All individual returns for the year
1916 must be filed in the office of the
collector between January 1 and March
l, 1917, and all corporations returns
must be filed during same period, ex-
cept those who established fiscal year.

capital stock amounts to SIS, 100000 are
required to file return. A special ex-
else tax is imposed on corporations

Government Crop Report

The summary of estimates of crop
production and prices for Maryland and
for the United States, complied by the
Bureau of Crop Estimates and trans
mitted through the Weather Bureau,
shows that there was a large increase
in 1916 in the average production of
corn to an acre in this State. In 1915
the acreage was 10000 and the yield
was 24,S50000 bushels, while in the
year just closing the acreage was re-
duced to 10000 but the yield rose to
q, 300. 900 bushels. And the price last
year was only 81 cents, while this year
it is SO cents. In the whole country
the production this year fell off, being
1883, 241, 900, against 1894, 1913, 900 in
1916
Wheat did not do quite so we'll. the
acreage in Maryland in 1915 being $685.
900 and the yield 1929 900 bushels.
In 1916 the acreage was $4,000 and the
yield 10, 240. 900 bushels. The average
price this year was Sill and last year
S1.O5. In the whole country the yield
last year was 1,025,8 01, 900 and this
year it was only 639, $4,000 bushels.
The acreage and production of pota-
toes in this State did not change ma
terially from that of last year, but the
shortage in the United States was SER
ious, and this, coupled with the foreign
demand, amply explains the higher
prices this year. The acreage in Mary
land last year was $4,000 and the crop
1868, 900 bushels; this year the acreage
was $4,000 and the crop 4,085, 900 BUSH
els. In the whole country the yield
last year was 359, Tel 900 bushels and
this year 285,437, 900 bushels. The
price in Maryland this year was $1.33.
against $0.62 last year.
The hay crop in Maryland in 1916 was
much larger than in 1915, being 688, 900
tons on 465, 900 acres. This compares
with 1853, 900 tons from 800, 600 acres
last year. The yield for the United
States this year was 1891 900 tons,
compared with that of 85,920,000 tons
last year. The Maryland price was SD
this year and $1620 last year. In the
whole country the price for 1916 was
S11 81 this year and $40. 60 last year.

the Board of Election Supervisors
Meetings have to be held and often
headquarters maintained and the costs
should be borne by those Interested
therein and reported promptly.
Our laws deDOunce bribery, but who
ever asked to be bribed at an election?
The commercial voter wants pay for
his work or for his trouble in coming to
the polls or for his lost time or for his
conveyance or to give to a friend to
persuade him to sacrifice himself in
some of these respects. Often while
he declares he is all right, there are
others he has trouble in controlling.
Our laws therefore do not reach the
situation. They demand that an intent
shall be proven and not a concrete
fact. Our laws do not even prohibit
"loans'.
In brief, if we honestly mean to try
to stamp out corruption, we must:
Limit contributions of others than
candidates;
Forbid precinct tre&SuTers;
Prohibit payment to any watcher or
challenger at any primary, and at cleo
lions only allow one or two in pre-
cinct, named in advance and with liked
compensation, il any;
Prohibit ante nomination or election
contributions of unusual character to
churches or public festivals or under
takings. and prohibit demand therefor;
Prohlt use of paid conveyances;
Prohibit any payment of any kind
for services on election day except to
challengers;
Pohibit any expenditures except Ger
tain personal cues by candidate and
prohibit all contributions to political
committees to further nominations;
Lastly and more important perhaps
than all else, prohibit any solicitation
to vote or not to vote on election day
All these things are within the range
of existing laws in some one or more
States, and work successfully, as l shall
endeavOr to show hereafter.
