GERMAN AIR RAIDS
zeppelins and AirpIanes Reach
British Coast

London, Aug. 22-Two raids by
German aircraft within a few hours
occurred last night and this morning
on the northeast and southeast sea
board.
The first raid was by zeppelins, a
number of which approached the
Yorkshire coast, though only one
and at the most two, ventured over
land. Twelve high explosive and
thirteen incendiary bombs were drop
ped ON three small villages near the
coast. A chapel was wrecked and
several houses were damaged. One
man was injured.
This morning soon after 10 o'clock
ten airplanes appeared on the coast
of Kent and dropped bombs on Dover
(an important naval base in the Eng
lish channel,) Margate and Rams
gate. There were no casualties al
Margate, but at Dover and Ramsgate
eleven persons we're killed and thir
teen injured. A hospital and some
houses were damaged.
Three of the raiding machines were
shot down. The pilot of one of them
was rescued, having been only slight
ly wounded.

MEAT PRICES
SOAR; LOCAL
MARKETS HIT
Stocks Short and Shipments
far From Regular
PROSPECT is GLOOMY
Wholesalers Predict that Even High.
er Figures-CattIe Scarce and
Prices Rising.

Local market men are considerab.
ly worried over the present situation
as regards meats of all kind. They
are not only experiencing difficulties
in adjusting their business to the con
stantly increasing wholesale prices,
but to this added the trouble created
through an inability to secure stock
from the agents of the big packing
houses.
Hogs are now selling for $40 hun
dred live weight on the Chicago
market which necessitates retail
price for the best cuts of pork that is
almost prqhibitive. The best beef
has advanced dollar a hundred dur
ing the past few days and not many
cattle are arriving at the wholesale
centers. Smoked meats have showed
tendency to drop little in price
but first rate ham at As cents pound
is expensive eating in families with
limited incomes.
Some of the local market men
have been able to purchase native
lamb and veal in small uantities, but
most of the farmers are holding tight
to everything that looks like a sheep
because of the increasing price OF
wool.
Bennington people are not eating
| nearly so much meat as they did a
| wear ago. according to the local mar
ket men nor are they buying so much
produce just at present because OF
the numerous gardens. This year
many families that never bothered
with garden before are cultivating
small plots of ground. The garden
owners are not only cutting down or
meat and substituting vegetables
but they are reducing their expendi
| lures for vegetables.

SENATE VOTES
INCREASES IN
INCOME TAXES
Big Incomes viii Pay 70
Millions More
VOTE WAS 35 TO 81
Ian Effort viii Be Made Today to
Increase Taxes on Big War
Profits.

Washington, Aug. 22.-Seventy.
three million dollars more tax was
laid today on wealth.
BY a vote of 35 to 81, the senate
adopted the "Lenroot' amendments,
imposing much higher taxes Oh in
divdual incomes than the senate
finance committee had planned.
An hour earlier seyentyfour sena-
tors, opposed by no dissenting voice,
had accepted the radical Gerry
amendments, taxing incomes of more
than half million dollars, 35 per
cent: more than three-quarters of a
million, 45 per cent. and more than a
million, 80 per cent. The final addi-
tion of seventy-three millions to the
war revenue bill was a combination
of the Lenroot and Gerry amend
ments The elimination came when
Senator La Toilette presented amend
ments that would increase taxation
on individual incomes more than
three hundred million dollars. These
amendments. however, went over
until tomorrow when the Wisconsin
senator will renew his battle. 1t is
his purpose to replace in the bill the
consumption taxes on necessaries, for
which, he says, the poor man should
be taxed nothing.
The scale of surtaxes accepted to-
day follows: $5,OOO-7 ,5OO-1 pei
cent; $750O-$10,0O-2 per cent; $40.
00e-$12, 800 per cent; $12,5OO-$15

t3-YEAR.oLD BOY SHOT
Earl Coursey Of Rutland stumbles
Against Loaded Gun.

Rutland, Aug. 22.-Earl Coursey,
13-yearold son of Mr.. and Mrs. Frank
e. Coursey of this city, accidentally
shot himself at the East Pittstord
dam about six miles north OF this
city today, dying just after arriving
at the Rutland hospital. Earl and
his older brother. Clarence, were
camping near the dam They at
tempted to cross the pond on some
masonry, the younger boy carrying
gun. II is supposed that he
stumbled on the rough stones and the
gun was accidentally discharged. The
charge entered near his heart.
II. w. Perkins, farmer living
nearby, heard the lads cries for as.
sistance, and after telephoning to
Rutland for an ambulance, loaded the
injured boy into an automobile and
hurried him towards this city to meet
the conveyance. Il was the boys
first camping trip and their mother
! objected to their going, remarking
you will be either drowned or shot

LESS MEAT; LOWER PRICES
Hoover Does Not Intend TO Call FOR
"Beefless Day"

Hotels and restaurants throughout
the United States will not be reQuir-
ed to enforce "beefless day" as part
of the food copservation program but
instead will be asked to reduce por.
tions of meat and prices accordingly
said John McE Bowman, who a,
New York Sunday was announced
by Herbert c. Hoover as one of the
volunteer staffs of the conservative
division of. the food administration
The complete plan for conserving
food, Mr.. Bowman said, soon will be
ready and its details will be sent tc
between 10000 and 1900 hotels and
10000 restaurants. Mr.. Bowman
stated that Mr.. Hoover will not ash
hotel and restaurant men "to do any
thing that is going to ruin their bust
ness" and when the suggestions are
boiled down the "top and the bottom
line will read; Eat plenty-eat wis,
ly. but without waste"
