The Liberty Lloan.

Mir. Editor:-The mechanic or clerk who subscribes for the S50.00 bonds of the U. S. Government is doing fully as much approximately as John D Rockefeller who has subscribed for s25.OOO .00O.00 of the Liberty bonds.
 Had it not been for Belgium. France England, Italy and Russia, Germany before this would have levied upon New York city and New England un- dou btedly more than five billion dol lars for her war needs.
 An over subscription to the Liberty bonds means that we are not dead nor afraid of Germany and her allies.

Ripley laughed. It's so annoying when your husband laughs easily. Would that be a terrible calamity? he said. Jake just hasn't got around to it. He'll attend to it in time
 You know very well, Ripley that it would be a very poor return for your aunt's kindness in lending us her place if we allowed her costly bulbs to be destroyed
 "'Oh, we'll, if you are so serious about it I'll dig bulbs while you broil the steak So I broiled the steak and half an hour later called him in to carve 1t. His hands were muddy. How are you getting along, dear" asked.
 "'Not getting along at all. These fly, the way they multiply. Maybe with your help we can finish digging them before we have to start back
 Tt was dusk when the last basket of bulbs had been carried to the cellar and both of us laborers cast regretful glances at the undisturbed ranks of jars and tumblers in the storeroom.'
 I've can come out again next week, can't we, Ripley" I asked.
 ITO be sure we can,' said he. Those sweetmeats look pretty good to me and I'd like to have them for real<y reference.'
 The following Saturday Ripley rose early and brought the car to the door just as the postman rang the bell. came down to the car with a handful of mail, and my husband spoke up: You can read the letters to me as we go along. We have a full days work ahead of us.'

The autoist who would leave in the road an individual whom his machine had struck, is a species of the genus homo which is not com arabic with beasts. He is something worse. He is lacking in all the essentials which make a man superior to the brute cre- ation. He is heartless, he is cow ardly he is small. The pity of it is that it seems, almost impossible for the law to get its clutches on these specimens of humanity. In nine cases out of ten they escape. Nobody sees late to prosecute a search for them. One feels utterly at loss as to the means which should be employed to get retribution for such dastardly crimes. Too often there are absolute iy no tracts of the culprits and all that is left to do is to care for their victims.-Meriden Record

Why, here is one to me from your Aunt Berinthia,' I told him presently. My dear niece" it says. it was a very pleasant home coming when found how much you and Ripley had done for me. I must confess that I was very anxious about my bulbs and hastened back to be sure that they were all right, and so they were, thanks to your care! But I never even imagined how good you were to me till I caught sight of the rows and rows of delicious jams and jellies on the storeroom shelves. I hope you didn't leave me more than my share, for it certainly is very generous one. Thank you many. many times, Come out soon to a meal"

CAUGHT LODGING
 WAR PROFIT TAX

Washington, June 19-Wholesale attempts on the part of intuition makers to avoid the present tax of 12 1-2 per cent. on their profits have been unearthed by Internal Revenue agents. Proof of attempted evasion to the extent of $12,000.O00 has been found already.
 Treasury officials expected at least $26, 6,00O,0O0 from this tax. Returns from manufacturers fell far below these figures, and force of special revenue agents was set to work. Through this method and by corre- spondence, the government has re- covered the $12,000,000.
 In one instance the Treasury De- partment complained that a manufac- turer had made no return. He re- piled that he had made no profits. Subsequently he sent a check for $15O,O00.
 Not all the manufacturers made in correct returns, but the percentage of those who did is said to have been hrigh. One of the methods frequent ly adopted to bring down the profits
 was to charge off as expenses propor- tions of the cost of special munitions
 plants Justification of this was at tempted by the plea that the plants be worthless when the war ended. In- vestigators reported that after the war the factories could be utilized in other ways and by no means would l be a total loss.
 Activity of government agents re- suited in a number of requests that returns be sent back for revision. The l penalty for false returns Is fine or inn prisonment or both.

LIVE STOCK IN CONNECTICUT.

For more years than most of its read CTS can recall the Post has been ar guing in favor of increased live stock raising for Connecticut. Again and again it has urged the propriety of an official attempt to repopulate the pastures of the state with sheep and cattle to sell to farmers as a means faction the announcement that the state committee of Food Supply has decided to import sheep for sale to farmers. Coming on the heels prac- tical1y, of similar decision buy beef cattel to sell to farmers as . means of reviving the beef industry this an- nouncement is important. We are coming to know that the question of food is not trif1ing matter, but one that calls for specific and intelligent action. Connecticut, if it will, can produce much of the beef, pork and mutton it consumes and although the movement begins in a small way, it is begun in the right way and deserves support.

President Considering
 Export Control Plans

Washington, June 19-Export con- trol plans worked out by the state and commerce departments went to Presi- dent Wilson today.
 The plans call for an export con- trol board made up of representa- t1ves of the state, war, navy and commerce departments, the food ad- ministration and other persons to be designated by the secretaries of state and commerce.
 Coal. it was said today, will be the first commodity to come under opera ton of the act. Wheat may be the next.
 Coal probably will be refused to any neutral refusing to meet conditions laid down by the Allies.
 In handling food exports the con- trol board will be guided b sugges- tions of the food administration and of the state department.

POSTMASTER CONWAY TO
 HAVE NEW ASSISTANT

Postmaster Martin Conway this morning gave out the information that he had accepted the resignation of Mra. Georgia Kindell as his as- sistant, which was tendered to him about g month ago.
 Mir. Conway stated that in ac- ceDting this resignation, he did SC with regret, as Mrs. Kindlel had always been efficient and accommo- dating, and her long service in the Skagway office had made her a mos+ valuable assistant.
 Miss Agnes Moffatt has accepted the position made vacant by Mrs. Kindell's resignation, and she will take uo the duties of her new po- sition ou the first of April.
 For more than two years Miss Moffatt has been a teacher in the skagway public school where she has proven herself to be most ef- ficient. The fact that she has resided in Skagway for the past two years should also be a benefit, as she is familiar with the names O the residents here which is quite necessary in the position which she has accepted.

Stairs E.aS::o E..S :

Elevators and other ConveyanCes uti- llzed ordinarily for handling materials may be used also in conserving the strength and increasing the efficiency of the workpeople. It is nothing less than stupid to make tired employees climb down several flights of stairs at the end of a long days work when there are elevators available and even more stupid to make these people climb up the stairs in the morning, using unnecessarily a large amount of energy which might otherwise help to tide them over the critical fatigue point during the day. It would be part of wisdom to install elevators merely for use of the workers, even if they were of no use for handling materials. Some of the best recently constructed mills have installed escalatOrs for this purpose-Engineering Magazine.

 All THE TREADWELL MINES

Amalgamation is being discontin-
 ued at the Treadwell mines on Douglas Island, Alaska, according to a recent report, which says: Amalgamation is being discontinued at the Douglas Island properties, as it has been found that the gold so saved could be recovered with the sulQhide concentrates. In conse- quence the companies have lately been melting up their copper plates and shipping them to the smelter in the form of bars. Thus it is that the strongholds of amalgama- tion have, one by one, given up to the newer metallurgy. Even the stamp is now beginning to feel the loss of its first-line trench es to this later metallurgy. Few new gold mills of moderate size have been built in this country with stamps as the crushing apparatus, and several large mills have aban-
