STATE TAX NOW DUE
 FROM ALL TOWNS
Assessment Is Based on Amount Received During Three Year Period.-Putnam Pays Less This Year.

The state tax and the military tax amounting to s341.317.50, levied eaci year by Connecticut on it's i69 towns is now due and payable. The larger cities have to pay the greater part of this levy, Hartford first. with New Haven second and Bridgeport third. This tax is levied under statute. Each towns share of the total tax Is de- termined by the ratio of it's total ave rage tax receipts for the last three years to the total average tax re- ceipts of all of the towns in the state for the same period of time.
 In many cases this year finds some towns paying less than last year. their total receipts having gained less rap idly than the average of the I69 towns. while other towns, those which have grown more rapidly, will pay a greater amount. Putnam is among the towns paying less this year.
 For National Guard

WOMAN'S LEG BROKEN IN
 SCRAMBLE TO SAFETY
Freight Train Flows Through Auto Stalled On Attawau-
 gan Crossing

A Nash sedan in which eight peo. pie were riding nearly became d sambles when the car stalled oh the Attawaugan grade crossing. Saturday night, just as a heavy south bound freight train hove into sight In the scramble to safety Miss Rosalie He bert, a young woman of Goodyear had her leg broken.

 Engine Stalls
 The automobile was driven by Arthur Morin of Danielson. It came to standstill in the center of the railroad crossing and the driver was unable to start the engine. The freight train, some distance away, came roaring along and the engineer blew the locomotive whistle. The occu- pants of the car began to pile out in a hurry. Every effort was made to bring the train to stop but it was impossible, although the speed was considerably slaekened by the time the train reached the crossing.
 John Murray of Putnam. member of the railroad police. and other of heers, checked up the accident. | Is understood that Morin said that q string of freight cars obstructed his view or he would not have driven onto the track until the train had passed.

FATAL DISEASE NOW
 HITS PHEASANTS
Anyone Finding Dead Birds Re. quested to Send Them to
 Commission
Game Bird. Also the Prey of Hawk.

An epidemic of some fatal disease has now spread among the English pheasants in Rhode Island and Con necticut, according to information re- ceived by the State Fish and Game Association. For several years the commission has been Investigating ,l disease that has threatened the ex- tinction of partridge and hunters have been asked to refrain from kill ing these game birds.
 Superintendent Titcomb urges any one finding pheasant dead. appar- ently from disease, to send the speci- men to the state boards offices at Hartford at once that it may be ex- amined at the laboratories Fresh specimens only will be of any use. however
 Although no diagnosis has yet been made. it is believed by Superintend- ent Titcomb that the disease will in all probability be found to be one common to fowl and of no great dan ger. Indications are that the disease now under observation strikes for a few days but then disappears. How far it will be spread cannot yet be determined Reports from breeders in Rhode Island and Connecticut show that it is now running in both of these states.
 Prey for Hawks
 A hunter has expressed the opinion that partridge and pheasants are be- ing exterminated by hawks as we'll as disease and believes that as many deaths are due to these birds of prey as to natural causes. This hunter has seen with his own eyes two pheas ants beheaded by hawks. He believes that 8 larger bounty on hawks would be a means of saving the lives of the many game birds.

WHEAT RALLIES
AFTER DECLINE
Severe Damage in Southwest
Offsets Favorable Weather
in Northwest

Chicago, June l9.-tR-Rains
throughout the corn belt and a
prospect of more tonight with warm.
err temperatures gave q decided set
back to corn values today. Corn
crop comments were generally op.
timistic, and buying was for the
most part confined to previous sell
ers who were in q position to col.
lect profits. Wheat was affected
somewhat by corn weakness, but
had strong undertone.
Corn closed nervous, 2 1-8c to 3
3-8c net lower, wheat at 1-8c to
l-2c advance, oats 3-8c to 1-2c
down, and provisions varying from
&c decline to a rise of Zoe.
News Of persistent unwelcome
moisture in Kansas and in other
sections where winter wheat is
about ready to harvest was coupled
today with thu Kansas official sum-
mary confirming serious damage to
crops in that state. The summary
said dry weather is needed now until
after harvest. Meanwhile, advices
were at hand that cutting Of wheat
in central Kansas had begun and
that there was also some cutting in
Missouri.
For the first time in a nj mber of
weeks, July delivery of corn sold to-
day at below $1.O0 hushel. Sim
ultaneously, September and Decem-
Der deliveries fell to the lowest
prices yet this season. Auspicious
weather for the new corn crop led to
general selling that included much
brought about by standing orders
to stop losses on the part of specu-
lative holders.

Farmers Optimistic
Following Rainfall

Farmers Of North Dakota are
more optimistic now than they were
= week ago regarding crops.
This is the dominant note con-
tanned in reports to the Bank of
North Dakota made by its field
agents in all sections Of the state.
Heavy general rains which bene-
fitted all field crops and improved
pastures are given as the reason.
In some sections the farmers had
been fearful that crops would wither
for lack Of moisture, but this worry
has been allayed and prospects
throughout the state as q whole are
declared to be good.
Winter rye prospects are some
what disappointing. the reports said
but added that the crop is expected
to stool some because of the rains,
Temperatures during the last week
were to the advantage Of the crops
although in Pembina, Cavalier and
Towner counties q light frost was
recorded. The frost did no damage
to field crops, however, and the dam.
age to garden truck was slight.

RULING
STOCK MARKET
United States Steel Common
Goes to New Low Record
in Trading

New York, June 19.-(R)-The
downward readjustmcnt of stock
prices was stimulated today by the
marking up of the call money rate
from 8 1-2 to 6 per cent. Prices
sagged l to 6 points in the early
trading, rallied around midday
when a bullish demonstration was
started in the copper shares, and
then turned heavy again in the
afternoon. Trading was on a SUBJ
stantially large scale than yester-
day, which was the smallest full
session since last March.
The increase in call money re-
fleets the return Of federal income
tax checks to the banks for pay
ment. and preparations for the mid
year settlements. Further heavy
withdrawals Of gold for shipment to
France, which is due to announce
its sterilization program on Satur-
day, are expected this week. In

loans IS anticipated Thursday.
