TOBACCONISTS = DISLIKED English Accuse Tobacco Dealers of Making Excessive Profits Because of War Conditions. London, May 25.—The most unpop- ular persons in England at the pres- ent day are the retail tobacco dealers. They are accused of the most brazen stroke of war profiteering that has yet been achieved. The budget intro- duced last week raised the tax on to- bacco by forty-four cents a pound. Thereupon almost all of the dealers announced a raise in prices averaging on all forms of tobacco about sixty- four cents & pound. The dealers take advantage of an extra tax to charge the consumer the tax and also an extra profit of twenty cents a pound. The consumers are indignant but as the dealers generally hang to- gether, the consumers have no rem- edy except to stop using tobacco. There is an additonal grievance in that a large proportion of the tobacco used in England is consumed by the soldiers in - training, on leave, or in hospitals, and purchased by home people to send to their soldiers at the front. The profits resulting from this in- creased takx really work out at more than twenty cents a pound, because both the tax and profit are charged on all the tobacco in stock which paid duty at the old rate. So that, on the stocks in hand when the duty was raised, the dealers are making a new profit of sixty-four cents a pound. ‘The tobacco trade will make about $65,000,000 a year for collecting the new duty which is expected to yleld $30,000,000 revenue, according to the estimates of a correspondent of the Dajly Mail. He fighres also that the traders have about 44,000,000 pounds in stock on which they will charge the new duty to consumers, without having paid it themselves. PRESENTS FOR CHURCH.

R. as- sembling to decorate the graves of the soldier dead and to hold patriotic exercises in their memory. An added feature of the parade held in can- nection with the celebration this'year will be the appearance of the Plain- ville company of the Home guard, which will act as escorts for the vet- erans. The troops will march under the command of Capiain J. H. Trum- bull and will probably follow the flag to be presented to the company by the women and children of the town. The exercises here will be brief, the major portion of the program to be carried out in Forestville..

Under present conditions the con- stable has an opportunity to sleep but little as his duties require his pres- ence either an the streets or at the Town hall almost constantly. He spends almost the entire night pa- trolling. the streets about the center. ‘When he makes an arrest, and there is hardly a night when he dces not find it necessary to lock up one or more drunks, he has to be at the town ‘building in the morning to give break- mre C.

Finish Oontract Ealy. ‘While the contracts awarded in comnection with the construction of the addition to the Grammar school ‘building call for the completion of the work by the second week in Septem- ber, the men in charge of the job ex- pect to finish early in August, provid- ing there is no delay in the shipment of the materials which they have or- dered or unexpected developments to hinder operations. . 5 The builders are now making gaod progress with the work and the con- struction of the walls, it is expected, will be completed in a short time. The sub-contractors have placed orders for the materials which they will require and they are hopeful t!ut they will reach here on time, although business conditions in the factories furnishing the supplies and the vari- jous embargoes placed on railroad shipments make promises of delivery within specified periods almost im- postble.
