STATE TAXES.

The figures of comparative list of taxes for Litchfield County, made pub lie by the State Tax Commissioner, William H. Oorbin show that while the military tax for 1917 is higher than for the previous year, the total of the State ald military tax is but little higher than before.
 As the state tax is collected on per. centage figured from the expenditures of each town, it appears, that the ex- penditures of the majority of towns in the county, swere considerably smaller than the year previous.
 A rather surprising fact is that while Torrington the largest tax payer in the county, paying $19, ,593.4l. Litchfield. which in DO way compares with Tor .rington in population, pays the third largest tax.
 Winchester is second with total of $8, ,829.88, and North Canaan about the thirteenth.
 Hartford pays the largest of any one town, which is as it should be. The otal is $264, ,844. New Haven pays s246,675, while Bridgeport comes third with $197, ,514. Of the smaller cities Greenwich is leader with $46,. lS3. In proportion to it's population Greenwich is big spender. It's State Tax is nearly $3 per capita.

that the Austro German troops had captured thousands of miles of terri tory and over 2OO.O men, has been more or less disnouraging.
 Our allies. one and all are looking to us for assistance. More guns, men, money and foodstuffs are constantly demanded. The government is doing everything possible to relieve the des' perate situation, but the people at large must think and talk war and vic tory and not peace. Oniy then will every individual be helping our sol diars and those of our allies
 Victory for our arms ill this war will be achieved as much by our men- tai status as our physical proWess. It is the mental condition of the German people which is causing the morale of the German troops to fall, and it is by the same mental condition that we may cause the morale or our troops to rise to the point which will make them next to invincible.
 This manner of installing spirit and vim into our soldiers is form of what science calls telepathy. It is no idle dream of befogged mind, but reality that will prove itself every day ill the week to the 'close observer. Through telepathio currents we may prove to our armies much better than we can by words, that their every effort is being watched with keen interest and that we will back them up with every thing we have to give, even our lives if necessary. Many opportunities are given every individual each day to do their bit, but in no way can we htlp more than by training our minds to t..ink victory in this war, which when it reaches the point, will unconsciously communicate itself to those with whom we come in contact.
