The Bulletin, Nor- suggestion 1 want to. voice my approval to the interest which you have awakened among the Norwich friends and which has resulted in your collesting a large number of Victrola records for the boys of the Supply company at Fort Tight. Music means so much to a soldfer at the end of a day's work and I am sure the men will appreciate the kindness of their thoughtful friends at bome. b 1 find, however, that there are Nor- wich men in nearly all the companies and batteries here, and while the men n the Supply company will derive ‘much pleasure from the records, a number of other men from home will be denied this pleasure. May I suggest that the other rec- ords whieh will be sent to you be sent to the Y. M. C. A. here at Fort Wright?

Mayor Brown,Introduces Seoville. At ‘the conclusion of the singing Mayér Allyn L, Brown made a short addres: introduey s and ed Robert Sco- ville, federal foodl administrator for the ' state of Conneeticut. Mayor Brown said: There have been’ many meetings in this city since the war, started, but I think nome is more im- portant than this one. The conserva- tion of food is an important facter in Uifs sreat struggle. The Y, A, C. and the M. H. A, the Knights of Columbus thing for the men in the sarvice, some- thing for the men who are on the fir- . They are doing a great work in keeping up the morale of the army. But here is a organization, the farm bureau which reaches and helps others than those. in the service. They reach the man who stays at home. The farm reau is the recognized ageney of the federal government to help in the pol- icy of food conservation. There is no man in the state who bas dome more along these lines than the man who will speak to you tonight, Robert S of Hartford, federal ministrator of Connecticut. Food Problem Intricate. Mr. Scoville was greeted with ap- rlause and spoke as follows: Of all the probicms the nation to- day is confronted with none is more intricate than the food situation. The production of food is conducted in| all units but the output i= enormous running Into the billions. It ix the ox industry which must not he int ferefl with as a discontinuance of & few hours plays try. are ma. | their diet even to bemefit th= Count: It is a hard proposition to get them to go without certai: cmmodities than are essential to winning the war, Then there i: preblem of labor. Many of those who Lerstofore have Leén engaged in jroducire f00d have Ieft and gone tc war or imto other in- dystries where there is more money. The consumption of food has increased aiso. With the great advance in the number of working men the demand for food has been increased. Shipping and overland transportation is anogther difficulty that the administration has to ‘eope with. Wheat that is grown in Australia cannot be shipped out to relieve the situation and it is the same with sugar. There is sugar in Java but it cannot be shipped. There is no surplus of foed in this country and the nation is iiving from hand' to mouth or rather from harvest to har- vest. Let us look at the conditions in Europe. There is Russia. They have been and are now in the middie of a revolution. There is very little har- vesting in that country and there is not enough grain for home eonsump- tion. ~Germany, if she makes peace with Russia, will not Denefit much im- mediately. Ukraine is fertile and- if open to Germany her food problem will be solved. Italy is in a baq condition for food. Their man power is engaged in manu- facture of munitions and those that are able are in the army. She has been feeding her peopia With a black bread made from flour that is nardly fit to eat. It has broken the morale of her men. The conditions are some- what improved but they still need good clean food. It is up to the United States to send them relief but the way is dangerous and mucll grain is sunk on_the way. France is in poor shape as regards to food. The men in the trenches are only allowed 15 ounces of bread a day Dies esp. ihe |out and those that are not working only get seven ounces. The sugar alloted Der capita is only three-quarters of an Qunce per day. 3 d in*her normal.days was mr self-supporting as regards the question. She has always im- ported about 80 per cent. of her food st and now she is reduced enor- and depends almost wholly on outside help although she has done a great dea] towasd producing for her- #elf since the war started, Irapossible to Germany. German conditi we know little of but it is belipved that they are not bad as reports have pictured them. The direct information from Germany is doubtful and may be only German ropaganda. We know that she is ex- amging grain with Sweden for irom and whether this means that there is a surplus of grain or an extreme shortage of iron we cannot tell. The A, jdeath rate in German towns has in- oreased which indicates that there is a £004 shortage, hut who knows? Tak- ing everything into consideration and the possible peaco’ with Russia it will be a practical imipossibility to starve out Germany. Lack of food may lose the war for @emocracy ang it is this nation’s part to keep the ententc forces supplied, hence we must conserve to the utter- most. We must supply Belgium with about 15 million bushels of wheat and We must suppiy otier nations with enormous amou Necessity Fer Cordservatio The United St: tration is endeav. the ‘people of this country the ncces- sity of eonservation. It is doing this through its department riculture and, through its farm hureaus.

What right have we to waste such an normous amount. Let us say at least when this war is Gver that we have not fought in vaim. . - Mr. Scoville alco in his talk brought out some very interesting facts re- garding the amounts of food needed and produced,in this country, He was wdrmly. applauded for his addres Dinner at Wauregan House. At 6 o'clock Mr. Seoville was given a dinner at the Waurezan hotel and tbe following war menu was served: Bisque of Tomatces—aux Croutons Soufile Boiled Fresh Salmon—Hollandaise Parsley Potagoes Gréen Peas on Crousigdes Corn Fritters Country Club Ice Cream Fancy Cakes Demi.

Board of Selectmen Only Asked for 22 Mills, At a meeting of the Yoters of the town of North Stonington held Mon- day evening a tax of 25 mills on the grand list was voted. This tax was three mills above that asked by tte selectmen of the town. The resolution was presented and passed without any opposition. The selectmen estimated that the expenses of the town could be met with a 22 mill tax, but the tax- payers themselves thought it was best to have a substantial margin to work on. t It wae also voted at the meeting to purchase two new road scrapers and 1o raise the pay of the men who work on the roads. Previously the men have been getting 2 per day for their ser- vices and $2 for a team, but as was voted Monday evening the men will get $2.50 and $3.50 for a team.

Tt has been brought to thé atten- tion of the Bureau of Internal Revenue that several trade organizations have issued to their members bulletins er- roneousty advising them that imcre- ment or appreciation in property val- ues ascertained by an appraisal may be freated as earned surplus or undi- vided profits and included in invested capital for the purpose of the excess profits tax. - The excess profits tax law express- ly places the computation of invested capital upon the basis of the cash and other property’ actually put into the business and not upen that of 2 pres- ent valuation or appraisal of its as- sets. Regulations 41 realtive to the excess profits tax point out in detail just how invested capital should be computed. The following statement on the sub- ject was issued by the Bureau Tues- ay: “While the, Bureau is gratful for the assistance which has been rendered by trade orzanizations ir the administra tion of the present war taxes and en- tertains no donbt that these partieular bulletins were issuedvin good faith. yet it cannot be too emphatically sta ed that they are based upon % mi apprehension of the cxpress nrovi- sions of the law and of the regulations issued the reunder, and that if not cor- vected they will result in great in- convenience Loth to the government and the taxpayer. “Returrs in which the invested cap- ital include surplus or undivided prof. its computed upon present values as determined by an appraisal cannot bo accepted. Tt is to the interest of hoth the government and the taxpayer that this fact be given the widest publicity in view of the misapprehension which may have been caused by unofficial statements to the contrary.” FUNERALS. | Donald Falvey McCormick.

WATERFORD MAN INSANE Julius Darrow Committed to the Nor- wich State Hospital. The alertness of Health Office E. C. Chipman of New London. probabiy saved Deputy Sheriff J. H. Tubbs from being shot by Julius V. Darrow at the latter’s house in Waterford, Monday afternoon. Deputy Sheriff Tubbs had regeived ous complaints from re in Waterford regarding the actions of Derrow who was alleged to be de- mented. For the pas{ year and @ half Derrow has been acting queerly but he has' apparently been harmless. TMonday afternoon Deputy Sheriff Tubbs, Constable Fred Dimmock and Drs. Chipman and Ross E. Black went to Darrow’s home near the Waterford station for the purpose of examining the man as regards his sanify. The officers and physicians went to the door and Darrow came out. They had him engaged in conversation when Darrow suddenly shut the door their faces. The officers were tco quick for him, however, and = they snatched it open again ‘before he could lock it Deputy ~ Sheriff Tubbs _started through the door, but as quick as he was Health Officer Chipman was quicker. Like a flash he was in the room and pounced upon Darrow as the latter had rqiched a cupboard nearby and made for a big tin can on a sheif. The physician soon had Dar- row down. In a second Deputy Sher- iff Tubbs, Constable Dimmock and Dr. Black caie to his assistance and Darrow was overpowered and hand- cuffed. Out of curiosity the officers Nfted up the can which Darrow ‘had at- tempted to reach and found a revolyer under it. There is no doubt but that Darrow would have used the revolver had he succeeded in getting it, his evi dent victim being Deputy Sheriff Tubbs, who was the first through the door.
