WANT RECRUITS IN CONNECTICUT
 STATE GUARDS
Capt. II. 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- patriots, 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 its 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 armeries have descended to its sue. eesseF. the Connecticut State Guard. The state of Connecticut has perfect ed it's new army of file common wealth that takes pride in protect ing the reputation of the old Con- nectieut National Guard while those famous troops are winning iauFels in France.
 If you are above 1T or below 60  years Of age; even if you are within the draft age and belong to IA, OF any deferred class; and if you are healthy and Sc. fit and 40, sound and IF, you have no right to live through this war and say that you could not "d8 your bit'' in military sense:
 The Fourth Infantry of the Gen. Rectieut State Guard occupies the State ATmery en Main street: 1t is convenient for yau. The state fur= Rishes uniform and equipment, rife shooting eR the. armary range often: Battaiien drills twice a nlentfl in fall and winter: You will prefer the company to any club.

LET PROHIBITION
 WAIT TILL. SOLDIER
 RETURN FROM WAR

Writing In the N, Y, Times, A. r, Robertson, of Tulsa, Okla, expresses the thought uppermost in the minds of all true Americans that 1t is sing ularly malapropos' for prohihitionists to keep up a senseless agitation at time when all our attention should be given to the boys lover there," His letter follows;
 Tn these days when there Is va cant chair beside nearly every hearth stone in the land when everybody's mind. and soul Is somewhere in France does it not seem singularly malapropos to use no stronger word, to keep up the. senseless agitation for woman suffrage and prohibition? Are these issues, hitherto considered rath- CT secondary affairs, suddenly clothed with such tremendous import that the winning of the war must be side tracked for them? Are people whose loss and pain, and those soon to go through the valley of the shadow to have no rest at all from the noxious and pestiferous agitators to whom nothing is sacred but "the cause" whatever it may be? Can not these disturbers of the peace wait till the war is over and men and women can sit down and calmly and dispassionate- ly and logically discuss these things? Can not they wait till the return of the soldier boys from France and give them chance to vote? Are they afraid of the soldier vote?
 HystericaI Campaign.
 We have been told ever since the foundation of the Republic to go slow in making changes in the fundamental law of the land. We have been told that amendments to the Constitution ought to be weighed, letter for letter, syllable for syllable, word for word, and phrase by phrase, tested by every test of logical, expediency and ulti- mate good before adoption. In the midst of the greatest crissi which the country has ever known perhaps that it ever will know, we see a hystericaI
 campaign for non-essential issues

officers and privates to the Federal service since it was organized last 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 l 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. Captains Beers, Buell., Lounsbury, Hrdfna. Minard Kelly, Cunning, Fairchild Flames and Williamson have in their commands most of them, few va cancies.
 It should be borne in mind that when men graduate from the State Guard to the Federal service they al- most invariably make non-commis- stoned officers at once. The military training received in the State GuarI is almost invaluable to a future U. s. National Army man. A word to ths wise is sufficient. The draft ages ar, to be extended in both directions to take in those of IS to 45 years il, , | elusive.

 Taxes on the value of capital stock of corporations last year amounted to $24, ,996,O ,OOO, on manufactures of or dealers in automobiles and motor oy- cles $23, ,9S1, 1900, and on intuition man. ufaetures $13,298, 600. Documentary stamp taxes imposed since Dec. i, 1917, produced 1S,S13, 900.

which at best can but distract our at tention from the supreme duty of the hour and by such diversion serve the cause of the German Emperor much better than if the agitators and propa- gandists were known as alien enemies or servants of the Kaiser.
 It will be time enough to talk about prohibition, about woman suffrage, about the procession of the seasons, or abstract propositions in calculus when the American army returns from Berlin and instead of loneliness and sorrow sitting around the fireside, the walls will ring with the echoes of the cheers of victory. One big thing at q time is enough for any nation. We Save tackled the biggest thing since Ehe world began, and for Gods sake let us finish 1t before we start anything else,
 And don't rob those boys over yon- der of their right to q voice in what is going to be done. Perhaps-and the thought has occurred to me many times-ail this sound and fury about the suffrage and prohibition amend meht is due te tine fact that their spon- sefs and their spokesrhen are afraid to trust it to the soldier vote fer the req son that the returning soldiers have 8 wider vision than those who have re- maiRed and the longer the boys re- main in France eF England or Italy for tha tfnatteF, the broader and more cosmopolitan they will become, The ] suffFagists and the BFehihitiehists may | iaa ti3of,- after all. But be that as it may there ought to be seHae relief from their in= pertinent and iHauisiteria1 visitatiens in times like the present. Can't the New York Times let them know how ''us folks in the country think about these things?

 Reports.

Washington, Aug, S.---How the gov- srnment war 'coffers were filled with billions in taxes gathered from a wide variety Of sources, ranging from stamps on playing cards to huge lev les 1on excess profits, was shown in -deta1l by 8 report of Internal Revenue Commissioner Roper to Secretary Me Adoo for the year ended last June 30> The figures are considered especially Important because they will be used by the House Ways and Means Com naittee as @ partial basis for higher taxes in the new Revenue bill, which Is to raise sS,O0O, ,O0O,COO
 Total internal revenue for the year amounted to $3,694, ,T0S.0 .0o0, of which S2,S ,SS9, ,0sS000 came from Income and excess profits tax payments in Juno and $S55, ,619sO0O from a multitude of miscellaneous sources, collected large ly in pennies, dimes, and quarters added to the prices of various art- 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, $443, 83S 600, including SS17, ,553, 900 from whisky, brandy, wine and spirits and $126, ,2S5,0OO from beer and other fermented liquors. Taxes lon cigars, cigarettes, and other to- lbacco products yielded $15S, ,1S8, 900 These figures are somewhat higher than those reported soon after the ScSose 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 or Transportation and utilities, which went into effect Nov. 1, amounting tc $70, ,734 900, divided as follows: Freight B per cent, $30, ,0O2 ,O0O; passenger tick cts, 8 per cent, $24, ,3O6 ,OOO; express, per cent, s6,458,OOO berths and state roums, 10 per cent, $2,296, 900; teIe- phone, telegraph, and radio messages 5 cents each, $6.29O, GOO; oil pipe lines f6 per cent, s1,433, 900.
 Levies on estates of deceased per Ssons7 brought in $47, ,452, 900. It is pro- posed to increase this tax consider ably in the next bill.
 Amusements, such as theatres, cab Iarets, pleasure parks, and dance halls Itaxed at virtually 10 per cene. on che ladmission price. yielded for the eight ,months $26, ,357, ,OOO.

High Nutritive Value

Troco, like butter, is invaluable energy food of the highest nutritive value. It is equally digestible and easily assimilated.
 It is not substitute for butter, but really buffers successor, solving the butter prob lem for millions.

COW TESTING ASSOCIATION
SHOWS fine RESULTS

The following is a report of the
Medina Cow testing Association for
the month of November.
There are 18 cows producing over
1900 pounds of milk or 40 pounds Of
butter fat. What was considered the
best COW was a Holstein owned by
E. w. Nettleton of Medina, who also
had three others in the list. The
production of the best COW amounted
to 1852 pounds of milk and sc pounds
butter fat with a fat test of $3.50.
Mr.. A. B. Ruckle of Boneta had
four Jerseys to produce from Al to
46 pounds of fat while n. M. Ak
man Of Granger had two Jerseys pro
ducing as pounds fat each. H. Mum
son of Medina had two Holsteins in
the list and w. R. Clark one, while
Fl. E. Vaughn, Grant Tillotson and
G. G. Chidsey of Brunswick had one
Jersey each and Don Bowes of Shar-
on Center and E. N. Whitman & Sons
of Chatham each had a Holstein en-
tered. Thus one-half of the men in
are association are mentioned this
month for superior cows in their
herds.
This is a type of work that pays
good dividends to the men who are
members of cow-testing associations.
More men who milk cows should be
interested in this work.
