The report of Tax Commissioner W. . Corbin shows that the wordly pos- msessions of the people of this State are being increased materially every year and that we are still making good industrial progress Uy In four years stores, mills, factories and distilleries have increased 2014 with an increased valuation of $52.- 344,952. For 1918-there were returned for taxation purposes 19,408 setores, mils, etc., valued at $226,108,295. The mercantil numbered 14,308 of a value of $122,- 643. Ths value is greater than ine vale of manufacturing plants, indi- oating that the trader is still in the lead of the fabricater. The general use of the automobile is possibly shown in the decrease of tie pumber of horses and mules used in | transport. In 1913, 73,819 horses and ymartes were owned of a value of $5,339,- 16, the number being 2711 less than four. years , while their value in- creased $607,788, or §9 a head.

The Fenton , Building company 1is also working on the big chimney at the rear of St. Patrick’s churcl ‘which ‘was injured in the same storm last March.

My | vrow, Bridget, she is Irish, she work | an wait on customers—she don’t mnd. | I sits in mine corner and talks an | iistens an keeps mine customers talk- | ' an then they have the thirst and | call more beer.

If those about to embark in the| poultry business will first thoroughly investigate their condition, they will! know better if they are fits Let them | examine their store or knowledge and count their dollars, for it requires both successfully to launch the ship. Be- sides, they must have a natural love for. fowls. To merely do the work me- chanTally will not profit. The better the ment the surer the success. That is true In all business. Reckless methods cannot be tolerated. There are men in this world who are excellent workmen—reliable, | energetic and economical when work- ¢ Ing for others—but they cannét mau- age a business of their own. They do not ‘seem to be able properly to lay thelr own plans, but they can work out others' suggestions to the very letter.

L A POULTRY TIP, Mite time has come again and it is high time that something be done to| free the poultry ho from these ugly parasites, says the Missourl Ruralist. All poultry houses are like- ly to be troubled with mites and othér insects part of the time and some are troubled all the time. But all poultry raisers can easily free their premxl from the pests cheaply, effectively d permanently by applying this remedy: On a damp day when the house is moist, take a pail or so of common | salt and throw it all over the peultry | house, even on the roof, as mites some- times harbor there Put a MHberal quantity om the ground inside and a few feet around the house. After this is done make a strong brine and with a spray pump or an old broom thor- oughly saturate all the roosts, nest- boxes, coops, and the celling of the house. While everything is damp throw more dry salt over everything inside, letting plenty of salt fal on the ground or floor. THIRD ANNUAL INTERNATIONAL EGG LAYING CONTEST Storrs Agricultural Experiment Sta- iton—Report for the Thirty-ninth Week, Ending July 31, 1914, The hens in the laying contest at Storrs laid only a few less eggs n the thirty-ninth week than in the pre- ceeding week. In spite of the army of visitors and consequent interrup- tion, they went about their usual bus- iness of laying eggs as if nothing un- usual was going on and yielded 2579 eggs. The Annual Mid-Summer Meeting of the Connecticut Poultry Association attracted to Storrs during the week the largest gathering of poultrymen ever convened In this state. There were about 800 visitors during the week, there being in attendance 600 on the middle day of the convention. Nearly all of the forenoon of one day was devoted to inspecting the compe- tition plant under the direction of Mr. Tom Barron of England who exam- ined the birds carefully and gave a demonstration of his method of se- lecting laying hens. Mr. Barron de-: clared the birds in the contest to be in excellent_condition. Pen, 42, the Experimental Leghorns that are being fed sour milk attracted a great deal of attentlon on account of | the fact that last week they succeeded | in ‘passing the English Wyandottes | that had.been leading the contest for i | 80 long.

A Conneocticut | gn of Leghorns owned by Glenview | ultry Farm of Rockville got second place for the week with a yield of 58| eggs, while Marwood Poultry Farm' with a production of 54 egs.

Al ‘Washington, Aug. 4—Military ex- perts here agreed tonight that if the general staffs of the French and Ger- man armies are trying to concear the objects of their campaigns until the completion of mobilization, they have succeeded wonderfully so far as the outside world is concerned. Officers of the army general staff said that the “contacts” reported to- day from various points on the French and German border, like those which have preceded them, are inconsequen- tial. Such movements as the crossing of the German troops into French ter- ritory near Mars-La-Tours; the raid by the Germans across the Belgium border near Gemmench, and the drop- ping of bombs from French aeroplanes into the German town of Luneville are regarded as nothing more than *‘screens” for the tacticians behind which they are arranging their pawns for the great game which is to de- cide the future of continental Europe. The opinion here is that German mobilization will be completed in about ten days.

It keeps the pores clean, permitting them Yo Breathe, and removes dead particles of cuticle which are constantly appear- | ing and which give the complexion that faded look. Whenever my skin begins to get the least bit off-color, muddy or tanned, I go to my druggist's for an | ounce of mercolized wax; I apply thit nightly like cold cream, for a week or so, washing it off mornings. This i what keeps my complexion so fresh white and velvety, even during the trylng days of summer. “The absence of wrinkles and flabbi | ness I owe to the use of a simple face bath prepared by dissolving one ouncs of powdered saxolite in & half pint witch hagel.
