and cursing fate, the monotony oc-

New York, Aug. 1s.-George Ber.

United States.
He has, he states in letter to
Oswald Garrison Willard, of the Ma
ton, no intention of either going to
Jail with Eugene Debs or having his
wife tarred by alleged members OF
the Ku Klux Klan.
Mr.. Willard recently wrote Shaw
as follows:
81 understand number of friends
are writing to you and urging you
to come to the United States. May
say how grateful we of the Nation
should be if you should Gomez"
Shaw replied:
"This conspiracy has been going
on for years; but in vain the net has
been spread in sight of the bird.
81 have no intention Of going to
prison with Debs or taking my wife
to Texas, where the Ku Klux Klan
snatches white women from ont Of
hotel verandas and tars and feathers
them.
"If were dependent upon rep
utation-which happily I am not, ]
could go to Ireland. It is less dan
gerous place; but then the voyage is
shorter and much cheaper. You are
right in your impression that num-
Der of persons are urging me to
come to the United States. But why
on earth do you call them my
friends?"

TOMORROW LAST DAY
TO MEET WITH SQUAD
Ex-Soldier Clean-Up Campaign Now
In Progre.s-Distr.ct Head
quarters in Greenwood.

When the cleanup squad started
ITS work in Greenwood this morning
ON the claims of veterans of the
world war, its biggest problem was
to get in touch with every ex-service
man in this territory, who has right
to governmental Compensation.
The squad is composed of experts
hoan Ehe various'a government bu-
reans, the Red Gross and the Ameri-
can Legion. They are familiar in
every detail with the workings of the
War Risk Insurance Act, and vari-
sus features of the different plans of
hospital treatment, medical care and
rehabilitation work in general. AS
soon as they establish personal
touch with the veterans, theyS are
prepared to put machinery in motipn
at once to get for them what is com:
ing to them from the government Ip
this work they have every assura4fe
Of whole hearted cooperation by tie
authorities in Washington. =:
The plan of campaign squad con-
semplates the avoidance of lengthy
correspondence and annoying, time
Killing red tape, by getting at first
hand all information as to each indi-
vidual veterans case and the ma
thnery is we'll oiled to get segJts
once it is put in motion. =
=: However, the. greatest problem
thzt confronts the workers is the
establishment of personal contact
with the men they would serve. Many
sf the veterans, in lots Of cases,
those most deserving OF government
tal aid, are illiterates. They don't
understand even the meaning Of
compensation" rehabilitation" and
vocational training" Many are To-
czted in isolated districts where
newspaper is rarely seen.
The men would he tremendously
anxious to get the benefits of theF aid
that the government is glad to give
II they knew that the squad is right
at their doors to get it for them.
For this reason, the members of
the squad ask that everyone who
Knows of an ex-service man who may
be entitled to aid, get in touch with
him and inform him as to when and
vhere the squad will be, and as to
what the squad is anxious to do for
him Squad headquarters will be glad
30 receive any information as to any
veteran and will use every method to
get in touch with him during his stay
IN Greenwood today and tomorrow.
Disabled veterans who report to
squad headquarters will be furnished
with transportation back home and

 The telephone repuSany IS putting in the audible ringing signal in some of tha cities of the state but has not yet reached Norwich with this Improvement.
 The new system of an audible singing signal plainly informs you that the num- Der you asked for is being called. This system has been. tried in other cities and having been found satisfactdry to sub scribers has been applied to the telephone service in some cities In this state.
 The change from the old method of ringing to "audible ringing" as the tele- phone folks call 1t, removes all doubt on the part of, the calling party that the number desired Is being rung. By an in- Genious arrangement within the switch boards at the central office the singing signal Is returned 10 the caller, softly, oi course, but clearly. There Is then no eood reason for the caller to believe that the operator is not ringing. { Much. time has been given by operators in the past to the watching of calls or which the called party was slow in an. swering his telephone. Audible ringing practically eliminates the necessity fol watching calls. Now the operator re. ceiyes the call and rings the number de, sired. The calling party knows she |: ringing because the ringing signal 1, heard.
 | The calling signal is continued at In tervals for approximately two minutes unless, of course, the called party sn swers before the lapse of that time If however. there is no answer at the ent of two minutes, the operator gives , Don't answer" report.

MUST MAKE REAURNs THOUGH TAX EXEMPT

Due 10 misunderstanding of exemp- tions, more than 10000 persons last year
 were assessed a nominal penalty of from |s5 to $1O for failure to- file an income,
 tax return for 1919 although their in
 come for that year was not taxable. This
 fact was made known Monday by H. S.
 Dorsey and J. ]. Hennon, internal reye-
 nue deputies who are here to help peo-. pie make out their income tax returns. According to the deputies, returns which should have been coming In since. January 1 have been extremely slow in coming in and the inevitable conseduence will be that on the last few days prior to March Is there will be rush. which the collectors will be unahle to handle. The office of the collectors in the Shan- non building is open daily and all possible assistance and service will be accorded the public in. filing returns.
 To facilitate matters they called at- ltention to the following facts covering the making of returns.
 ssThe exemptions for 1920 are 1000 fer I single persons. s2,o0o for married persons 1 and heads of families plus $2oo for each dependent if under IS years of age or in- capable of self-suppprt. The normal rate is per cent. the first @4.000 of net in- come above the exemltion and per Icent on the remaining net income. This applies to every citizen and resident CT the United States. Alien non-residents receiving income from sources within the United States are taxed to the full per lcent. on net income from such sources. The surtax rates range from per cent on income between $5,000 and sS0oo to 1 65 per cent. on incame in excess of
 sl, 900, GOO. Met iHcptne" is gross income Iless certain specified deductions.
 I '"The tax this year as last may be lpaid in full at the time of filing the re
 turn or in four equal installnents due
 on or before March 15. June 15, Septer-
 Der 15 and December Is. The first tn-
 stallment must accompany the filing ol tbe return. Forms 1o40A for incomes O
