MAJ, BUCKLEY
 MAKES RULING
 ON NEW DRAFT

Hartford, Aug 7-Major John Buckley, state director of the draft, announced today that if the draft age were raised men affected whose names are registered in his office as gov- ernment appeal agents and it's mem bers of local and district boards would be placed in Class on the ground that they were necessary employees in the service of the United States.
 This ruling will affect a large num- Der, in view of the probability that the maximum draft age will be placed at 45 years. Major Buckley was asked what the attitude of the government was likely to be should a local or dis trict board member, or a government appeal agent, elect to resign his posi- tion and enter the ranks of the Ma tional Army.
 Such men could submit their resig- nations, of course, but they would not find it easy to get their resignations approved" the major replied. "Board members and government appeal agents can render more valuable ser vice by continuing their draft work than by entering the ranks"

WAR TAXES BRING $3,6S4,7O3,OOO
 INTO TREASURY
Income and Excess Profit Payments Brought in $2,- 839,O83, ,0OO, Roper
 Reports.

Washington, Aug. 8.---How tho gov ernment war coffers were filled with billions in taxes gathered from wide variety of sources, ranging from stamps on playing cards to huge lev ies on excess profits, was shown in detail by a report of Internal Revenue Commissioner Roper to Secretary Me Adoo for the year ended last June 90. The figures are considered especially important because they will be used by the House Ways and Means Com mittee as a partial basis for higher taxes in the. new Revenue bill, which is to raise s8,O04, ,00000
 Total internal revenue for the year amounted to $3,694, ,7O3, ,OOO of which $2, ,s39, ,0S3, 900 came from income and excess profits tax payments in June and sS55, ,619,O00 from a multitude of miscellaneous sources, collected large ly in pennies, dimes, and quarters added to the prices of various arti- cles paid by consumers and poured into the Treasury by retailers, whole salers, or manufacturers to help meet war costs.
 Huge as these taxes seem in the aggregate, collections for the entire year were only enough to pay the nations bills for two and a half months of the war at the rate the government is now spending money.
 Next to income and excess profits taxes---the backbone of the revenue schedule---liquor taxes brought in the most money, s443 8SS, GOO, including s317, ,553, 900 from whisky, brandy, wine and spirits and $126, ,2S5, GOO from beer and other fermented liquors. Taxes on cigars cigarettes, and other to- bacco products yielded s15S, ,1SS, 900. These figures are somewhat higher than those reported soon after the close of the year by Commissioner Roper, and are subject to further slight notifications.
 After income, excess profits, liquor, and tobacco taxes, the biggest yield from any source came from levies on transportation and utilities, which went into effect Nov. 1, amounting to s70, ,734, 900, divided as follows: Freight, per cent, s30 COZ, ,000; passenger tick cts, 8 per cent, $24, ,S0S; GOO; express, 5 per cent. s6. 900; berths and state rooms, 10 per cent, s2,2sS, 900; te1e- phone, telegraph, and radio messages 5 cents each. ss,2s0,0O0; oil pipe lines per cent, s, ,433.0 900.

WANT RECRUITS IN CONNECTICUT
 STATE GUARDS
Capt. H. c. Stevenson Issues Appeal to Men to Do Their
 Bit for the State.

Not everyone can enlist for over seas. Only one out of ten is within the draft age. Many of us are tied by bonds that even war cannot break.
 And yet large number of Bridge porters warm -blooded, reg ular fellows, club men, college men, business men, shopmen, artisans, re- tired citizens and professional men are unaware they can enjoy the sweets of military service, learn it's most interesting features, perfect themselves in rifle practice and mas ter army tactics without deserting their shop, business or profession
 The Connecticut National Guard is now Federalized and at the front do- ing glorious work. It's splendid armories have descended to it's sue cessor, the Connecticut State Guard. The state of Connecticut has perfect ed its new army of the common wealth that takes pride in protect ing the reputation of the old Con- necticut National Guard while those famous troops are winning laurels in France.
 If you are above IT or below 60 years of age; even if you are within the draft age and belong to A, or any deferred class; and if you are healthy and 60, fit and 40, sound and IT, you have no right to live through this war and say that you could not do your bit'' in military sense.
 The Fourth Infantry of the Con- necticut State Guard occupies the State Armory on Main street. It is convenient for you. The state fur nishes uniform and equipment, rifle shooting on the armory range often Battalion drills twice month in fall and winter. You will prefer the company to any orub. If you are ambitious, bear in mind that our Fourth Infantry companies of Bridge port have furnished over thirty Of ficers and over 200 non-commissioned officers and privates to the Fedora service since it. was organized Ias year. And you will find some of the leading men of Bridgeport serving as privates in our ranks.
 The drill vacation will end this month. September 1 will see the drills resumed. Cos. A, B, c, D, E F, G, H I and K, will then drill un- der competent officers and non-com- raissioned officers once a week, each | on various regular nights, from Mon days to Fridays inclusive. Captain.

at their best; nor hungry nations. France, England,
and Italy going hungry unless we feed them.
Wheat Savings-They must have wheat. 1t is the
best food to fight 1t is the easiest to ship. We
alone can spare it to them BY SAVING n Just little
support those who fighting our battles And we
can do it without stintng ourselves. We have only
to substitute another food just as good.
The Corn of PIenty-Corn is that food. There's
surplus of it. Providence has been generous in the
hour of our need 1t has given in such bounty
as was never known before. Tons of corn Train
loads of corn Five hundred million bushels over and
above cur regular needs. All we have to do is to
learn to appreciate it. Was patriotic duty made
easy? And so clear!
Americas Own Food-Corn!. 1t is the true American
food The Indians, hardest of races, lived on it.
Our forefathers adopted the diet and conquered
continent For great section Of our country It
has bong the staff of life. How well the South
fought on it, history tells. Now it can help America
win world war;
Learn Something-Cornl 1t isn't one food. It's
dozen. It's cereal. It's vegetable. It's bread.
It's dessert It's nutritious; more food value in it,
dollar for dollar, than meat or eggs or most other
vegetables It's good to eat; how good you don't
know until you've had corn-bread properly cooked
Best of all, it's plentiful and it's patriotic.
Corn's Infinite Variety-How much do you know about
corn2 About how good it is? About the many
delicious ways of cooking it? And what you miss
by not knowing about it2 Here few

There are at least fifty ways to use corn meal to
