The assessors of Shelton desire tC
 revise the grand list. They agreed
 with the Shelton manufacturers that a person should be named by the tax ing authority of the town. who should
 receive confidential information re- gardiEg the value of manufacturing property. Mayor Edward w. Kneen was selected as this person He re- ceived the valuations, suggested that the properties be listed at a certain percentage, and the taxing authorities SC acted.
 During this process the property of the Blumenthal Manufacturing Go. was raised from $6OO,OOO to S1,s98.- l6o' The company's reply was the suit in equity.
 Judge Greene says that the con- pany's proper remedy was to the Board of Relief of shelton and thence to the Superior court.
 He finds additionally thai tha n1ain- tiff is not entitled to equitable relief. because it has not shown clean hands There is reason to suppose, says the court that the plaintiff did not sub mt to Mayor Kneen the correct fig lres, but figures which tended to give m advantage to the plaintiff, in that It's taxation would be approximately ess than it should be.
 The decision is a complete and sweeping victory for the city of Shell on
 The city of Shelton claimed it was necessary to raise an additional S25.- 100 by tax and about 25 manufac- urers agreed their taxes should be Rised. Each factory agreed to sub nit an inventory to Mayor E. W. Nneen. He said the inventory filed y the BlumenthaI corporation was incorrect and he figured the assess lent according to another inventory. he Blumenthal corporation claimed his action was illegal and arbitrary. !
 In denying the injunction petition, udge Greene suggests that the cor orauon seek relief by an appeal to he Superior court. He says: Tho . Vdence taken suggests the possibility pat the objectionable size of the valuation is due to an at smpt on the part of the plaintiffs to . ct the better of other manufacturers nd escape part Of the burden, which ley agreed to bear, by submitting an nfair inventory of their property" l.

LABOR'S ALLIANCE.

London, March 19.---Correspondenc of The Associated s.)---Laibor's s
 Triple Alliance, which just now is de

 The Triple Alliance, which is re-

 The machinery of the Alliance is simple There is a small consultative committee made up Of the chairman and secretary of each of the three or ganizations while the three execu- tiveS meet at least twice a year Each body retains complete freedom to take action on it's own behalf, Joint action being confined to questions of na- tional importance and questions of principle. Before a matter can be by joint action it must be fully approved by the executive of the body which raises it. The ap- proval of at least two of the organiza- ! tions must be obtained before any | Joint action can be taken.

Doughboys' Brides
Are Made Welcome

ST. NAZAIRE, France.-French
brides Of American soldiers on their
way from France to their new homes
in America are entertained in the
Hostess House here until they and
their husbands are ready to 60 on
board steamer. Thus far, eighty
one of these newly made American
wives have been taken care Of in
this temporary home for brides.
The work of caring for them IL
conducted by the Young Women's
Christian association with Ave work
ers under the charge of Miss May
Fay. The house was opened May 1,
and is located in q grove Of trees
outside the limits of the mems camp.
The wives, many of whom had
never been more than twenty miles
from their homes before, are met at
the station with an automobile and
taken to the Hostess House, where
they are given a thoro physical in
spection, teeth examined and any
necessary work to be done on them
is here done. After this they are
given the opportunity to bathe,
change their clothing and are as
signed bed in one of the spick and
span dormat0ries. Their life from
then on until the time they board
the boat is chiefly occupied in learn
ing the English language, sewing
and exercises and recreations of
various kinds in the mornings and
with their, husbands in the after
moons.
Ten days is the average time each
girl spends in this camp. From it
she is taken directly to the boat,
where she again meets her husband,
he having been transferred from his
organization to a casual company so
that they can take to a boat back.
That the government is doing every
thing in its power to make their life
while still in the army a happy one
is very evident. -
A month ago 1t was estimated that
Accommodations for fifty-five would be
ample for this camp. That was less
than month ago. Today there are
Accommodations for 100 and more
barracks are being built The 18th
cavalry alone brought fifty-one newly
married men and their wives. And
now that the service of supply troops
are going thru here so fast it is sus-
pected that the Hostess House may
be swamped, for these troops, unlike
the combat troops, have been sta
toned in one place most of their
time over here and have had the op-
ito win and wed some
dainty French girls.

When Mr.. Eccles was asked as to
the prospects of extending their
electric roads in Idaho, he said they
were very remote. The way the roads
are going into the hands of receiv-
ers as result of the methods and
conditions growing out of the war,
has brought such investments into
disrepute, so much that it may take
a generation to get back to normal,

good, clean, fresh water In vessels.
As the days get warmer care should
be taken to change the water as often
as required to keep 1t clean and fresh.
Avoid overcrowding in growing
chicks. A coop, brooder, or colony
house that was large enough to hold
the baby chicks is not large. enough
after two or more months, depending
on the breed and growth. It is abso-
lutely necessary that growing chicks
have plenty Of room to grow. Cocker
els that are sufficiently large should
be disposed of. Chicks that have not
shown proper growth should also be
separated and leg or wing banded.
Many Of these chicks, even the pull
let's, should be marketed. Only the
good, strong, vigorous specimens
should be retained as breeders and
layers, as these are the only ones
that can return q profit. r.
Won't Eat Too Much.
Growing chicks will not eat too
much If they have plenty of range so
they can get the desired exercise. A
good growing mash should be acces-
,sible at all times to growing chicks.
Such a mash should contain plenty Of
bone meal ground very fine and fine
ground oats and barley. Be sure to
have the mash groSnd very fine.
Growing chicks that are kept close
ly confined need much greater atten-
ton along all lines than those that
have range. See that they have plenty
Of. green feeds that have not wilted
down to almost the decaying point
and that the yards are kept sweet.
Culling also is more essential when
chicks are closely confined.
NJ Look for Vermin.
Do not forget to look over the young
chicks from time to time for lice and
mites. Hot weather is the paradise
for Nee and mites. So be careful, be
sure, don't be sorry. Look out for
lice.
In MANY sections of the country
where the Matching season started
about the first Of the year cockerels
should be separated from the pullets,
especially SO where Leghorns are kept.
