The Great Bartello, who was in Plainfield, takes exception to a couple of articles in the Plainfield column of the Norwich Bulletin. He first says. that Mr. D. Bitgood was not too. large to lift the heavy bag of sand, which the majority of the audience thought ‘was the case in his attempt to lift the bag. He claims that larger men than he is have tried and have suc- ceeded better than he did. Next he sald that neither J. Killips nor G. Baker, both of Plainfield, had any show of lifting the bag, nor did nvita- Match Game Probable.

STATE MANUFACTURES ARE ON THE INCREASE. Figures and Deductions Taken from Business Census of 1914. A preliminary statement of the gen- eral results of the census of manu- factures for the state of Connecticut has been issued by Director Sam. L. Rogers of the bureau of the census, department of commerce. The population of Connecticut at the cersus of 1910 was 1,114,756, and it is estimated that it was 1,203,000 on July 1, 1914, The sum: shows an increase at the census of 1914 as compared with that_for 1909 with the exception of number of establishments and pro- prietors and firm members, which show decreases. The decreases are due pri- marily to the fact that at the census of 1909 a large number of reports were received from small lumber and flour and grist miils. Mills engaged exclu- sively in custom sawing and custom grinding for consumption in the im- mediate meighborhood should not be included_in ‘the census, but it is mot always possible to conduct the enu- meration in regard to these establish- ments on uniform lines at_different censuses. In 1914 as compared with 1909 there was also a decrease in the number of establishments engaged -n the manufacture of patent medicines and compounds, but there was an in- crease in the valte of produdts for this industry. The decreases under the conditions are no indication of a d¢ crease in the manufacturing activities of the state. The summary for manufactures shows a consistent increase at the census of 1914 as compared with that for 1809. In the order of their imipor- tance, from a percentage standpoint, the increases for the several items rank as follows: Salaries, 385 per salaried employes, 28 per_cent.; 1, 19.8 per cent.; wages, 13.7 per ‘primary horse power, 13.4 per materfals, 12.1 per cent.; prod- ucts, 112 per cent.; value added by manufacture, 10.2 per cent., and wage- j earners, 7.3 per cent. I Capital Invested. The capital invested, as reported in 1914, was $620,194,000, a gaip of $102,- 847,000, or 19.8 per cent., over $517,547,- 000’ in'1909. The average capitai per establishment was approximately $151. 1000 in 1014 and $122,000 in 1909. In this connection it sbould be stated that the inquiry contained in the census schedule calls for the total amount of capital, both owned and borrowed, in- vested In the business, but excludes the value of rented property, plant, or equipment which was employed in the conduct of manufacturing enterprises. In the final bulletins and reports the rental paid for such property will be shown separately; Cost of Materials. ‘The cost of materials used was $288,- 454,000 In 1914 as against §257,259,000 in 1909, an inc of $31,195,000, or 12,1 per cent. The terials per establishment was ma $70,000 1n 1914 and $61, l’f';?"l 5 - 000, and in 1909 $115,000. The value of products represents their selling value or price at the plants as actual- ly turned out by the factories during the census year and does not neces- sarily have any relation to the amount of sales for that year. The values un- der this head also include amounts re- ceived for work done on materials fur- nished by others. Value Added by Manufacture. The value added by manufacture | represents the difference between the | cost of materials used and the valuc of ehe products manufactured from | them. The value added by manufac- ture was $256,795,000 in 1914 and $233,- | 013,000 in 1908, the increase being $23.- | 782,000, or 102 per cent. The value! added by manufacture in 1914 formed per cent. of the total walue of| products and 7.5 per cent. in 1909. | Salaries and Wages. The salaries and.- wages amounted to $160,730,000 in 1914 and to $135, 000 in 1909, the increase being 974,000, or 18.4 per cent. of salaried employes was 25,111 in 1514 as compared with 19,611 in 1909, mak- The number { Brent, Protestant Episcopal bishop of the Philippine Islands, was one of the passengers rescued from the ill-fated Chiyo Mart, when she was wrecked on a reef south of Hong Kong'on April 1.
