TOWN AND CITY TREASURIES FACE DEPLETION. Big Decrease Indicated by Number from State in Army and Naty. Tndieationis are t.hat the t.rmunu of all the cities and towns # the ‘state will be depleted by many thousands of dollars next year, and for many years ocome, because of large number of men in federal or state service who are exempted under the law from the personal tax. The exemption applied al®p to members of the Home guard, 1t I said.: As this body has 9,315 en- isted men and 660 officers, according to the military emergency board. this item alone will amount to $19,950. According to the figures received on Aug. 5, the date of the draft, from the office of the adjutant general of the state, there were 6,24 men in the land forces and 782 officers and men in the naval militia of the federal service. There have bebn approximately 8,000 men - drafted .and according to the most authentic information awvailable there have been about 2,500 volunteers enlistments.

All are different—each is good STATE DEFENSE COUNCIL HOW THE THRIFT STAMP PLAN WORKS: Investment is for a Period of Five Years. The United States government war savings plan will soon be put in op- eration in Connecticut. This new idea provides for loans to the federal go ernment of amounts as small as cents and includes the issue of $5 i terest. bearing - stamps. The money invested by this plan is a war loan ernment just as much used to buy liberty bonds, and it will be used by Uncie Sam to win the war against the kaiser. Howell Cheney of Manchester has been appointed state director for this work. He has announced the follow- ing committee which will help him “put the plan across” in Conmecticut: Howell Chéney, Rt. Rev. Chauncey B. Zrewster, Mrs. Morgan G. Bulkeley, Rev. Dr. H. W. Fhtleson, Mrs. Henry A. Bumstead, Charles D. Hine, E. Kent Hubbard, Edward P. Jones, Re: Dr. Fiavel S. Luther, Rt. Rev. John Nilan, Rev. Rockwell Elijah Rogem, Julius Stremla Treadway. Mr. Cheney will be aided by the-fol- lowing assistant directors: Searle Light, Mrs. Bernard T. Williams. Briefly, the plan is this: Thrift stamps are to be sold for 25 cents each. Anyone who wishes ean get a government thrift card holding 16- of this stamps. When all the spaces are filled, that is, when $4 has been in- vested in thrift stamps, the card may be exchanged by the payment of a fow cents for a $5 war savings cer- tificate stamp, and a new card will issued with spaces for 20 of these $5 stamps. The holder may then start a second thrift card. During the month of January, 1918, the payment required for a $5 stamp, in addition to the 34 invested, will be 12 cents, and this will increase one ceni each month during the year 1918, The plan is based on a 4 per cent. in- terest, compounded quarterly, and_the investment is for five years. On-Jan. 1. 1923, tQe government will pay for each stamp which individuals had bought at a'cost of $4 plus a few cents. The war savings ecertificate may be turned intg money at any time prior to the date of maturity, and the holder will receive back the money invested, together with a slightly smaller interest payment. An active campaign for the sale of these stamps, which may be obtained at any postoffice or a number of other places which will be announced later, is to besin at once in this state, and it is hoped by Mr. Cheney that in this, as in all other war activities to date, Connecticut - will set the pace for the whole nation. Former Yantic Man Not in Trenches A reader of The Bulletin writes: The David Sharpe, who was report- ©d wounded in a French trench by an explosion, in The Bulletin one day last week, is not Dawid G. Sharpe from Maynard, Mass., who formerly worked in Yantic, but a David Sharpe from Lowel, Mass. Mr. Sharpe of Maynard is with the military police in France and not in the trenches. BORN.
