1.-THE OLD sWiMMlN' HOLE"
GOES BACK TO eoYHoop DAYS


In "The Old Swimmin Hole,' pre-
sented by Arthur S. Kane as First
National Attraction, to be shown at
the Peerless theatre on Wednesday
evening. that master of rustic roles.
Charles Ray, imparts a naturalness to
that of Ezra, the mischievous boy,
which makes you forget that you are
a spectator. 1t lifts you out of your
self so completely that once again
you are reenacting the scenes of your
own childhood and are vending your
way through the meadows of mem
ory. Seldom does picture so de-
light one as does this. There are
laughs aplenty and an occasional
tear and that choky feeling that only
the art of the true artist can create.
You watch with ever increasing in
terest how Ezra falls in love with the
heartless little girl who loves to
break boys hearts; how the sincere
and devoted Esther finally wins him
away; how his friend Skinny plays
him false: how he is caught robbing
the apple orchard: how "Whiskers."
his dog. follows him to school and
breaks up the class; how swell, why
relate In detail the many delightful
whim3calities of this masterpiece?
II is safe to predict that Ray has
found an ideal vehicle In "The Old
swimmin' Hole"

or the total. S29ii is for school
purposes and almost one-half of this
is for county high schools.
These tax receipts are typical of
tax conditions the county over. with
some variation occasioned by differ
ing conditions in the local school dis
tricts.
There has been feeling of COM
petition in spending public money
which is universal, and If taxes are
to be reduced there must be retrench-
ment all along the line.
A desire on the part of one section
of the county to spend an amount
equal to or exceeding that spent in
another locality leads to waste and
extravaganza.
We must have good and efficient
schools. but mere reckless spending
of money is not necessary to insure
this result, and there is limit to tax
burdens which can be borne by the
reople.
Let's retrench.

This statement shows that the high
school tax alone is only about 25 per
cent lower than the cost of all ex-
penses OF the county government In.
cluding roads. salaries OF county on
clals and all expenditures under the
direction of the county commission
ers.
The total tax required from this
one quarter of land for grade school
purposes was s133.0o or $4,000 more
than the state and county taxes com
bined.
The total amount for school par-
poses, including grade and high
taxed against this ono quarter Of land
was just double the requirements for
both state and county.

HOW WERE YOUR TAXES?

To every citizen who has paid a
visit to the county treasurer's Office
and inquired the amount of his 1920
taxes there has been feeling of con.
sternation at the surprising increase
over previous years and the magni-
tude of the totals.
The average taxpayer leaves the
Office with feeling of bitterness and
a desire to place the blame for what
seems reckless expenditures upon
some one who is guilty of bringing
about this state of affairs.
The county commissioners. who are
In charge of the financial operations
of the county naturally become the
target for n great deal of the criticism
by those who have not taken the
trouble to analyze the distribution of
the public funds raised by direct tax
alton.
The fact is that all resident tax
payers have contributed to some eX-
tent in this orgy of spending. With
the purpose of showing just how your
money was spent. we have selected
two quarter sections Of land which
seem to offer the two extremes In ac-
tual valuation. and will offer them
as examples Of how the tax receipts
were used:
The southeast quarter OF section
1874 is situated about one-half mile
south of Holyoke and its location nat
urally fixes high valuation in COM
parison with land further from town.
The total tax paid on this qparter
was 1853. divided as follows:

INDUSTRIAL LOAN DEPARTMENT
BY BANKERS TRUST CO,

The newly organized Bankers Trust
company which is to open in this early
in December has made plans for the
instituting of an industrial loan de-
partment in connection with the reg
ular banking departments. The in
dustrial loan plan while successfully in
operations in other cities has never
been tried in Norwich and with the
advantages it gives the small borrow
er bank officials predict that it will
be a. success in this city.
The purpose of the industrial loan
department is to make loans of SIS
$50, rs, 500 and 5000 and up at per
cent interest. The repayment of the
loan will be made to the bank in small
weekly payments in proportion to the
size of the loan. The bank in making
these loans does not demand collater
al but the borrower must have two
endorsers with real estate. This plan
has worked to advantage in. other
cities and has proved a success.
The work on the banking quarters
in the Thayer building is progressing
very rapidly and it is expected that
the bank will open on or before Deem
| Der 10th.

The structural evidence of ancestral re-
lationship between the anthroDo:ds and
man is added to by several other well
known kinds of likenesses, physiological
psychological, even geological.
The similarity OF the chemical charac-
ter of the blood of the two groups. as
shown by the approximate identity of its
reactions in the face of certain stimula-
tion-the so-called precipitin reactions
these differing from those of the blood
of other higher mammals. is a notable
modern addition to the biological evidence
of anthropoid and human relationships.
For the same identities or close siml-
larities in blood character occur in other
kinds of animals well known to be close
ly related, as the wolf and dog, or the
horse and ass. and do not occur when the
blood of two less closely related animals
is tested.
a less. important and less widely known
added bit of evidence is one that came
, under my own observation few year:
ago, during the course of some study o.
certain highly Specialized external insec
parasites of man and some other nam
mails. In this study it became appa-en
| that the kinds of these parasites charac
teristic of and limited to men and ape
/ are more closely related TO each othe
| than they are to parasitic kinds charac
teristic OF the other quadrumana or o
| any other mammals.
This points to a probable commonnes
of origin of the now slightly diffeTen
tiated parasites of men and apes from
some parasite ancestor. which may hav
helped to make life uncomfortable 70
