BRIDGEPORT IS SLOW ENROLLING
 LOCAL DOCTORS

The enrolling of the local physicians in the Volunteer Medical corps is very slow here. Perhaps the necessity is not clearly understood, it was stated by 8 prominent physician, and the filling out of the questionnaire is a lengthy and tedious process. The government has aimed to have 100 per cent. enrolment throughout the country, and personal canvass Is to be made.
 Dr. Charles Godfrey is working on the enrolment and is confident of a 100 per cent. registration for Bridge nOrt

ONE FARMER nv 400
nv BIC INCOME CLASS
Brokers Lead the Country Among Those
Filing Returns of Incomes Ex-
ceeding $4,000,

Washington, d. c., June ia larger
proportion of brokers than of any other
occupatfonal class reported incomes of
more than $1,000 in 1916, and farmers
made proportionately the smallest num-
Der of returns, it was shown in an analy-
sis of income tax returns for 1916. One
out of every five brokers made returns,
but only one in 400 farmers Nearly
one-fifth of all lawyers and judges made
returns.
Teachers, actors, musicians, preach
ers and saloonkeepers were among the
classes of which few made incomes of
more than $1,000.
These reports are not considered de-
pendable guides to actual incomes, since
they are based only on returns filed,
and the reason for such poor showing
by some classes is the neglect of mem
bers to make returns.
The number of returns filed for 1916
was 437 ,038, showing a total net income
of S6,29s 900, with tax of S2l7 900 900.
a little more than onefourth of the total
income being reported and returned bv
persons with incomes of between $1,000
and $4,000.
Although only one and one-half per
cent. of the returns were in, these rep.
resented nearly one-third of the total
net income and nearly three fourths of
the total tax. Nearly 60 per cent. of the
total income reported was exempt from
taxation.

MY friend had always loved her flow

and thrive with the least attention.
Zone day as she studied her garden
patch in full bloom, it struck her that
IL looked like an old-fashioned nosegay.
She Immediately started to make one,
placing a single pink in the center, sur
rounding it with a row of forget me-

tightly with string. Suddenly, she

The Expression of Many a Kidney Suf-

A stubborn backache is cause

CRITICAL STAGE
FOR THE ALLIES
Former Premier Asquith Declared, But
Great Britain's Determination Will
Not Be Weakened.

London, June l5.--Speaking at a
luncheon of the Aldwych club yester-
day, former Premier Asquith said there
was no use in cloaking the fact, or min
inning its gravity, that the allies had
reached most critical point in the for
tunes OF war. But nothing that had hap
pened on the western front since The
last week of March, he added, would
in the slightest degree weaken British
allegiance TO the great purpose for which
the British people were fighting or their
determination to press on the final ac-
of their aims.

ing of strain of the present period He
said that this afforded opportunities for

Fence Rail Farming.

"One of the most fundamental miseon-
ceptions that ever befuddled the thinking
of sane people is this one which de-
mands more intensive agriculture for the
present prodigious times" says the Coun-
try Gentleman The editorial goes on to
point out that intensive agriculture
means less land. more labor, more equip
ment, more money, more fertilizer, more
seed Extensive agriculture means more
land, less labor, equipment, money, fer
tilizer, seed. And as we are extremely
short of the factors essential to success
full intensive farming, and exceedingly
long on land, the obvious need is for
more extensive farming.
The difficulty with what the magazine
calls the frantic fence rail advice" is
chiefly in a misunderstanding of what
the word Intensive means in relation
to agriculture. To most of the advisers
it means simply more careful more eff
Gent farming. The technical Use of the
word, meaning the application OF great
deal of labor, equipment, money, fertiliz-
er, seed to small acreage as contrasted
with the opposite procedure in extensive
farming. is not familiar to them.
There are four big food needs for us
and the allies. They are meat, wheat,
fats and sugar These, says the Country
Gentleman, ARE the characteristic prod
uets of extensive farming" What we
want is more of the superficial method
applied to large acreage. The intensive
method is for the back yard. More pow
err to it and its green vegetables! But
what the country at large needs and
must have is greater development of the ,
extensive method.-Concord Monitor.

WILSON BACKS UP
VAR LABOR BOARD
Tells the Heads OF Telegraph Companies
That the Rules Should Be obeyed

that President Wilson intends 10 SEE
that the rules Of the national war labor
board are followed TO the letter was

munication TO the heads of the two great
telegraph companies, asking that they nc.
cept the boards findings in their eontro.
versy with their employees, The fact that
the president had personally taken up
the case became known with the an.
nouneement by Clarence II. Mackay of
the Postal Telegraph company that his
company would waive its right To dis.
charge men who have joined union and
that Ncwcomb Carleton OF the Western
Union would send his answer Monday.
The war labor boards decision in the
case was that the men had been permit.
ted 10 join unions.
The presidents letter to the telegraph
heads reads:
MY attention has been called to the
fact that the national war labor board,
after careful consideration of the ques-
tions at issue between the telegraph
companies and their employees, have ar
rived at a decision, the essential points
of which are embraced in the following:
"Q) The employees have right to join
a union if they so desire, and the men
discharged for joining the union should
be renstated
"(2) The company should not be re.
CURED to deal with the union or recog-
nize it.
"(3l Committees of employees should
be recognized in presenting grievances.
go Where employees and employers
fail TO agree, the question in dispute
should be determined by the national
war labor board.
"(5 The telegraphers' union should
not call strikes or permit its members to |
initiate them. They should submit all
grievances to the national war labor |
board.
Il am informed that the representa-
tives of the union are willing to accept {
this decision but the representatives of |
the telegraph companies have not accept
ed it,
MAY / not say that in my judgment |
il is imperatively necessary in the ma
tional interests that the decision of the
national war labor board should be ac-
eepted?

that il is patriotic duty to cooperate
IN this all.important matter with the
government by the Use of the instru

you send me, you send me unpledged. ,
| These questions have been settled by ref

while it might be the best way to
settle this question by referendum, we
are very sure that it will be put ND d.
rectly to everyone who aspires to a seat
in the next Legislature to state their DO
sition, and on that they will either fall
or stand. "-Morrsville News and Citizen.
Unless the electorate makes the neces-
sary effort, it is not unlikely that the
true perspective viii be lost in the com
ing elections, with the result that it will
be made to appear that the only question
of Importance that can possibly arise will
be that of whether or no Vermont shall
ratify the prohibition amendment to the
federal constitution.
Unless the electorate makes the neces-
sary effort, it may also develop that the
discussion of this question will be placed
on the rum basis, with the contention be-
ing accepted that anyone who opposes
the amendment is hand in glove with the
forces of evil, thoroughly dominated by
the so-called rum interests. Nothing could
be more distant from the truth, for the
real issue involved in this is constitu-
tional one, and one who believes thor
oughly in prohibition may well be OPP
posed to this amendment, as are indeed
some of the best prohibitionists.
Unless the electorate is honest with it. |
self, il cannot expect honesty on the part |
of its candidates. There is danger that |
men who do not believe in amending the |
constitution in this way, and base their /
belief on a knowledge of the intent and 1
purpose of the organic law, which this /
proposed amendment outrages, will cou-
pie promise to vote for ratification with 1
the announcement of their candidacy that 4
they may make sure of some votes. 1t is
not unlikely that men who do not believe
in prohibition at all viii nevertheless sink
their principles in their esgerness to get
votes. Courage and honesty are required
both by the electorate and candidates
and to Be stampeded shows a weakness
which. when displayed by a candidate.
