An apparent diacrep;mcy. may \ be noticed, in some instances, between the | income and the tax. In those cases the whole income ‘is .shown. but only that portion of the. tax paid by the individ- ual, the balance being paid by the cor- poration where the income occurred. Westerly, Hopkinton and. Richmond were in the Sixth division of the Sec- ond district, and Henry, Whipple of Hopkinton was .assessor for the dis- trict. He.was father of Everett E. Whipple, * the - present” town . clerk of Westerly., |, It is distinctly against public policy for any store which' does not regular]y deal in sugar.to hold sales, of sugar for the purpose of adyertising. the store ar any ‘line of goods,. is .the unanimous, decision .of . the _executive committee of the Rhode Island food administration Two such requests for permission to conduct such sales have been received and denied.. One request was. from Westerly and the other from Providence. ' One proposition was to the effect that the store desired to give away a pound of sygar with every pur- chase of $1 worth of zoods, such as clothing and furnishings. . The other store wanted to sell sugar below cost to persons .who purchased. 25 cents' worth of other things not foodstuffs. Several hundred signed pledge cards were received Wednesday at - head- @varters, which brings the. total for Rhode Tsland up to 109,381, People are being urged to keep the food emblem in the window, even thongh it is turn- ing vellow, which is a sign that the card has been displayed a long time. By reason of a considerable part of the " population 'being Seventh Day Baptists, the towns of Westerly and Hopkinton are permitted by - law .to observe Saturday 'as the Sabbath and do any kind of work on Sunday. The time was when planing mills, manu- facturing concerns operated on Sun- day, and ‘many ‘stores opened on Sun- day, closing from sunset of Friday to sunset of Saturday. This has been changed to a marked degree. No mills are ope Sunday - and - not more than half a' dozen stores close on Sat- urday and opem en Sunday.
