o'clock and several hours run was
made on the beautiful st. Johns
more beautiful than ever in the sill

shortly after the start was made.
Before the return, cold drinks, ice
cream, cake and minis were served,
and cunning favors for the occasion
were wee boats.

Between three and four o'clock
Thursday morning five masked men
blew open the safe of the Farmers
State bank at Glentana and escaped
taking with them s2,2OO0O in cash and
$2,7O0.OO in Liberty bonds together
with a grist of other valuable papers.
J. j. Carroll, who resides in a small
house next to the bank was awakened
by the explosion, which not only de-
molished the safe, but partially des-
troyed the bank building. Carroll was
unarmed and did not give the alarm
until some time after the robbers had
completed their work and departed.
He stated that there were five men
in the gang and heavily armed and
masked.
The robbers made their escape in a
high powered car which had been
parked in pasture about mile out
of town. Before entering Glentana all
telephone wires had been cut in sew
eral places and it was necessary to re-
pair the lines before word could be
telephoned into Glasgow. Immediate

The Glasgow Woman's club will
hold a picnic at the Tourist park on
Tuesday, September 8. There will be
a business meeting at o'clock, and
at 6:15 supper will be served. Plans
for the winters work will be made.
During the summer the club has
carried on a number of activities. The
hot school lunch fund has been grow
ing and much interest has been mani
tested. A number of entertainments
will be given in the near future for
this fund. The club has also helped
at the Tourist park. Old Glory had be-
come rather tattered and torn, so the
club purchased a new flag which is
waving over the park. Then, cooperat-
ing with the Commercial club, the
weeds were cut and the grounds
cleaned up. There were also a num-
Der of articles of equipment that were
need such a rubbing board, mirror
wash basin and things of that sort
which were contributed by the mem
bers. The Tourist camp is credit te
the town and the club feels rea
pride in being of service in this way

A GOOD WAY TO KEEP PROPERTY
ON TAX BOOKS

The minute Of the County Commits
sioners that persons who wish to re-
ceive ATTACHMENTS on property sold at
auction must first submit list Of pur
chasers should meet with general ap-
proval. Such a policy has long been
advocated by the editors Of The Egis,
and we believe will go long ways to-
wards keeping personal property on
the tax books.
Hartford as a rule has n great num-
Der OF public sales each season. The
majority Of these come in the Spring
when tax Attachments are being made
30 that the sellers annually clear their
assessments of thousands upon thou
sands of dollars worth of personal
property. Under the old system 1t was
next to impossible 10 locate where half
Of this property went. As a conse-
quence it failed TO get on the assess
ment books until the buyer had to send
in new schedule or an assessor
CHANGED upon his additional property.
Such n policy was unbusinesslike on
the face Of it, and worked hardship
upon those taxpayers who constantly
maintain about the same assessment.
The new plan will not be particularly
burdensome to anyone and should
prove an accurate means by which the
assessor can fix the tax load equitably.
We believe once the system Is in force
II will prove an invaluable guide.
