PPN 1907, averag THE BULLETIN'S ILLUSTRATED BOOK. It is not surprising that a great deal of interest is felt in the pictures which are to he a feature of the 250th an- niversary Jubfles beok—what they are to be and what they are to repre- sent. Portraits of the officers and chairmen of committees and the guests of the city will number a score or two and then there will be photographs of the decorated streets, the parade, the performances and objects of spe- clal interest, it is expected, will make about 50 pages. Where there are large assemblages of people the pictures will be made large enough to miake the {dentification of citizens possible. There are quite a number of these photographs which will be given a full page. > It is the purpose of The Bulletin to make thiz book so attractive that it will be in prompt demand when it appears in December for delivery. The Bulletin has had submitted to it for examination about 200 photo- graphs already, and expects to have others submitted. The letterpress and the illustrations will represent the best part of the an- niversary celebration, and the book will be prized for its accuracy and value by Norwich people everywhere.

WHY IT WAS POSTPONED. ‘The legislature of Georgia following the example of the legislature of this state, postponed action upon the pro- posed constitutional amendment mak- ing an income tax legal. Various rea- sons have been attributed for this action, but the legislators declare they needed time to obtain the views of their constituents upon the question. The public interest in this matter is so slight that it is now being advised that Income Tax Leagues be formed in the states to agitate the question and arouse public opinion. New York leads in this and Ohio promises to be a close follower, and other states are likely to fall into line. The ratifica- tion of this measure will take the next three years in the following order: November, 1909—Tennessee, Texas. December, 1908—Virginia. January, 1910—Kentucky, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Oklahoma, Rhode Island. October, 1916—Vermont. January, 1911—Arkansas, Connecti- cut, California, Colorado, Delaware, Tdaho, INlineis, Indiana, Towa, Ka Maine, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire,. North Carolina, South Carolina, Oregon, Pennsylvania, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Washing- ton, West Virginia, Wisconsin, Wy- oming. April, 1911—Florida. January, 1%12—DMississippl. May, 1913—Louisjana. It is feared that unless the support- ers of this measure get to work that the interest will not be sufficient to carry it through. Work will have to be done here in Connecticut to save it from defeat in 1911, The old duties stood on eieven hun- dred articles of the Dingley tariff as they were, and were lowered upon three times as many things as they were raised, hence it was a downward re- vision. 1t is easy for the young man to make love to a girl until he perceives that she thinks that he is in earnest, and then he gets scared and simply thinks ‘what he will say when the time is ripe! Making a librarian out of Thaw may not reflect upon other ‘librarians; but how much of a lunatic ean a man be and still be an intelligent and useful distributor of books? In an Indiana towm where a bottle of beer is given out with every pur- chase the women cannot get a chance to do the shopping. Dry husbands take to this new deal.

This crep ought to bring at least fifteen "cents, or more, and if not while you have it then it will go there when you have sold all and every bale you could get your hands on early; you can put that down now. You can have it, if you will; will you fight for it, or let go at old price that may be offered, as You can have it, it you will!” The farmers unlon of the eotton states comprises over 2,000,000 mem- ‘bers, and it is hoped that the regu- lations of the uplen will be adopted by all the cottgp growers of the south, There is certainly business in this solidarity of effert. o s Y HEN FA/UITS INCREASE IN PRICE. U is generally conceded that “engs ‘has riz,” but to just what an average amount could not be ascertained until & statistician of the government got to work and found that the average production of eggs for the last ten vears has been about onc and three- quarters billion dozen a vear. Taking the average price of 1899 as 11.15 cents per dozen, and that of 1908 as 18.3 cents, the increase in the yalue of the total egg production ‘has been $125,- 000,000, or nearly 65 per cent, This is a bouncing advance for an average price; but now that there is no question that there is money in eggs everybody may try the experi- ment of getting some of it, and thus bring the supply so much nearer the demand that prices will become more reasonable. Hen's eggs are soaring early this fall and the promise is that they will go to sixty cents a dozen before Thanks- giving, but the stock of limed and glassed eggs in private hands is larger than usual which means that the de- mand for the hen fruit this year will be lighter than last year. It used tp be said “eggs is eggs” but now the time has arrived when it will soon be truly said | that ‘“eggs is nickels.” THE POWER BOAT OF THE FU- TURE. Toledo has had a visitation from the pleasure craft of the waters about that city which showed a bewildering variety in design. The Toledo Blade says that “here one may behold boats long and boats squat, boats like grace- ful gulls and others more suggestive of fly-up-the-creeks. The motive power is eontrolled from aft, from for- ward and from amidships. There are speed boats like arrows and some whose deckline is like the letter S. As much freedom is evidenced in mate- rials employed as in color, comfort and cahbin arrangement. “There is something bizarre and spectacular in all this varie But it cannot be expected .o stay. Experi- ence and the laws which govern re- sistance and serviceability will modify most of these boats, many of which are po more than experiments. - You will remember the many forms of the automobile when the vehicle first came into use. Now a genera¥ design makes one gasoline car look little different from another. That which brought this about was not the habit of one inventor thinking as any other in- ventors does, but practicability. Ten years may see one extremely efficient pattern apparent in every engined boat.” EDITORIAL NOTES. The fact that there is a better busi- ness spirit abroad shows that the times are getting healthier. Since the green hat for men was so popular it is now said that a blue hat is furnished for the eccentric. With so many letter carriers “in its midst” it may be safe to infer that St. Paul is having a few gray days. The increase of two cents in the postal registration fee will add a mil- lion to Uncle Sam's income next year. Glenn Curtl has domnnnrated what American nerve can do when it is in the possession of the right fel- low. Harriman has discovered that a flock of persistent newspaper report- ers are enough to make a well man sick. Happy thought for today: The big steaks we get at the butchers are not the chief end and aim of life; but the) are in it. These cold mornings are as discour- aging to the straw hats, as to the summer resorts. Neither of them can stand it long. The eternal femininé question: “How much j8 it a yard?’ matches the in-| fernal masculifie inquiry: “Where's my collar button?” The aviators have pulled more money out of the air than the other fellows once upon a time pulled out of the sea. There are too many people running a touring car upon a bicycle + income. That is why there are so many second- hand cars for sale. President Taft has renewed his leage at Beverly for another year, so that place is again to be the summer cap- ital of the nation. It will not be many years before lawns will be cut by electricity; but there is no such outlook for the clip- ping off of whiskers. A Queer Compliment. The Central Vermont railroad has the enviable record of not having killed a passenger in seven and one-half years. This railroad company has, through its poor train service, broken many a heart and caused an infinite amount of profanity upon the part of its patrons, but ail that doesn’'t count in an indictment against it in the mor- tality column. There is no record of Central Vermont' trains ever running down anvbedy by reason of their ex- nass df apeed.—Rutland (Vi) News. ‘1unowtmrh-azmm Bolton again tonight,” said Markham ' Cobb, redching over the table for the fi'fi"“" which his tired wi apuoed‘ “She had on a stunn real simple and modest, you looked as if she mades it mext. don’t see why you can’t make your hats like that, That turban you've been wurln:, Olive, is positively hid- bit her lip, but did not happened to know that d paid $18 for that simple hat, but she had had a hard day's work and she was too weary to enter into an argument with Mark- m on the subject. He ll:ped his coffee critically. “Muddy,” he commented with man- ilke bl’\fll.lky “That's another thing about Phylis; she makes the finest coffee 1 ever drank. I don't know what the secret is, but it has that oily look on top that you ouly get in the best coffee. You know what I mean.” “Phyllis doesn’t make it in an ordi- nary coffee pot as we do, remonstrated Mrs, Cobb, faintly, swallowing hard to keep back the tears. “They have a n’ew ercolator. It was very expen- sive. Markham shook his head and tapped impressively on the table. “Tt ism’'t that.” he explained. “It's because Phyllis takes pains and knows how. Why, the first summer I knew Phyllis—" Phyllis was one of the girls who had known Markham “very well” before his marriage. Mrs. Cobb's eyes sud- denly blazed. She made an excuse to le: the table. T'll get a simple hat hat like Pry! lis, Markham, dear,” she called over her shoulder with ominous sweetness as she went into the kitchen. Mark- ham, talking on with garrulous obtuse- ness, did not observe the straight line of her mouth as she spoke. Olive bought it the next morning. “Twenty dollars?” she repeated in- differently after the sheath-gowned saleswoman who had been whisking the piquant shapes on and off her head with little French shrieks of approval. “Charge it, please. No, I haven't an account here, but I have in several downtown shops.” And she named them over. They were places where she bought the children’s stockings and underclothes and dress materials —never a hat for herself. She had al- ways made her hats since she was married. On the way home Olive made a few calculations. It was the 18th of March. That hat must be paid for on the first of the month—there was no April 1 joke about bills. Twenty dol- lars! over one-half of Markham's weekly salary. Well, there was the §10 that she had intended putting away that week toward the family’s summer outing. Five dollars more she had tucked away for a birthday party for little KElla. She had ordered @ pot of hyacinths to be sent 10 Mark- ham’s mother on Easter—$1.50 more. There were the red slippers she had in mind for Markham-—$3—Markham was for more in need of mental slipper vigorsusly and judiciously. applied.
