NORWICH GRANGE MEETS IN LEDYARD Guests of Mr. and Mrs. J. E. Fanning at Their Summer Home. In the neighborhood of fifty of the members of Norwich grange, No. 172, Patrons of Husbandry, passed a de- lightful evening Wednesday as guests of Mr. and Mrs. John E. Fanning of Willow street, at their summer home in Ledyard. The party went down on the 7.45 Norwich & Westerly car and returned on a special car about 10.30 o'clock, having had an enjoyable time. Following the regular meeting, which was held with Mr. and Mrs, Fanning with the idea that it would be more comfortable there than in Grange hall because of the hot weath- er, there was an entertaining and prof- itable literary programme. Extracts from the Year Book of the department of agriculture furnished the topics of two interesting papers by Elmer C. Jewett and Mrs. Fanning. Mr. Jewett considered the progress made by the government in the utilization of corn- stalks and other materials in paper- making, while Mrs. Fanning's talk was along similar interests; Several se- Jections were acceptably read by Frank T. Maples. Refreshments were served by the hostess. concluding the excel- lent programme. TROLLEYMEN'S UNION INSTALLS OFFICERS Past President Arthur Finagan Does the Work.

The finger was opened at the hospital Tuesday after- noon and it is believed that the troubi> is gangrene. NURSE TELLS OF SKIN CURES *I have seen the Cuticura Remedies used with best results during the past twenty years. , In my work as a nurse, many skin disease cases came under my_observation, and I always recommended the Cuticura Rem- edies. One case was that of a friend who, when @ child, was afllicted with eczema which covered her face and hands entirely. She could not go to school as the disfigure- Tient looked terrible. I told her to get'a set of the Cuticura Remedies. After the Tise of only one set she was perfectly well. Another lady had dry salt rheum in both palms of her hands every fall, and the Cuti- cura’ Remedies cured her. ' I have also seen them cure children of ringworm. The children’s faces would be all circles and rings around the cheels and the neck, and after irebtment with he Cuticura Soap and Ointment, they e esaipletely cured. M: Tusband had ther, wzf&io on his arm and ucad the Cuticura iment. It made his orm as limber and nice, whereas it was quite stiff before. Last May I had an in- wing toe nail which was very painful. cut the nail out and applied Cuticura Oint: mcat. In less than ten nights it was all healeds, Ten days ago, 1 had my left hand and wrist burned with boiling lard, and Cuti- cura Ointment _has completely cured them.” S ) Mrs. Margaret Hederson, 77 High- ‘Ave..

Cor- bin has issued an illuminating pam- phlet of statistics showing concisely the standing of Connecticut towns, as regards taxes and local values, and what the work of the tax commis- sioner’s office really is. The pam- phlet reviews the tax rates in the dif- ferent parts of the state and makes interesting comparisons and _strikes averages that are still more interest- ing. The work of assessors, boards of relief and tax collectors, is covered in an abbreviated form, shorn of the uninteresting part, showing how the different towns stand in the commis- sioner’s office, May 1 is the popular day in the state for taxes to become due, 113 towns having made that the day, while in 39 towns the lists become due between May 1 and September 1. In nine towns the taxes become due in October, and in Naugatuck, Derby, Colchester and Chatham they become due semi-an- nually. Wethersfleld and Woodstock pay their assessors the lowest wage, $1 a day. The assessors in Wolcott, Boz- rah, Columbia and Bolton have jobs that may be termed as “snaps.’ put- ting in four days a year in each town in making up the lists, while the max- imum time is put in at Hartford, New Britain, New Haven, Waterbury, Stam- ford and Bridgeport, where the as- sessors labor the year round. Andover boasts of having the smallest number of tax lists, showing only 140, while New Haven, proudly taking her place as. the largest city in the state, has 14,60S. The smallest town grand list for 1910 is that returned by Marlbor- ough, which totals $144,004, and New Haven again proves a top notcher, having the largest town list, aggre- gating $126,804,456. New Fairfield has the smallest number of lists of non- resident taxpayers, 18, while Milford has the most non-resident taxpayers, 1,459. The average number of days’ work by all the assessors in the state was while the average pay a day was 0. The total’ number of taxable ts in the state was 179,632, while the number of exemptions, owing to service in the army, navy, blindness, ete., amounted to $5,963,782. The av erage percentage of fair value of as- sessments, as estimated by assessors, was 87 per cent. One advantage of a small town is that it reduces in preportion the num- ber of kickers in it. The pamphlet wonld indicate t the minimum number of these live in the towns of Bridgewater, Thomaston, Bethany, East Haven and Killingworth, where the boards of relief sat only two days last year. The boards of relief in New Haven and Middletown established a maximum number of days’ work, sit- ting 30 days. This brings Middle- town's board in line with the biggest city in the state in the amount of work the board had to do, a sort of an echo from the series of disruptions in that town since Mayor W. C. Fisher began to stir things and people up down there. The assessors’ job in the town' of Warren cannot be Considered a graft by any means, for Warren distinguishes itself in the list of other towns by having the smallest per diem wage for its assessors of any of them. They get 71 cents a day. In Hartford the highest per diem wage paid for this kind of work, $20 a day. The average per diem wage throug s $2.89. The following re the work of these boards sughout the state Number of lists reduced, 491 Amount of reaucticn, Number of iists incre Amount of increase, 105 he compensation of tax collectors $c08.001, which taxed at the m-mnsm‘r at the state treasurer's ang SOLDIERS AT FORT PRACTICE ON- Ideal Day for the Work—Shocks Felt ‘at New London. The full service firing, made impo: sible Tuesday becausé the high sea was too rough for target towing, was begun by the Connecticut cogst artil- lerymen Wednesday afternoon. Third, Fifth and Fourteenth companies fin- ished sub-calibre practice, which was interrupted by ‘the storm on Monday. The Fourth and Eleventh com- panies began sub-calibre practice on the 12-inch motars Wednesday morn- ing and conlinued this practice in the afternoon. With the exception = of these two companies the entire corps will have full service firing on the ten-inch guns. Sixth company was the first of the organizations to begin the full service firing at a moving target. The full service firing will probably be concluded this afternoon. o Sixth and Seventh companies mounted guard on Wednesday. Sixth, Third, Seventh and Fourteenth com- panies formed a battalion and paraded under Major Herrmann Wednesday. It was considered the best parade of the encampment, improvement of the artillerymen in infantry drill being shown each day. Third and Thirteenth companies mounted guard Wednesday afternoon. Captain Darbie gf the lat- ter was officer of the day, and Lieu- tenant Dennison of the Third company Leing commander of the guard.
