For many years it Wwas a vexed question and ex- cited mueh contention in Windham coun- ty where the county court house and jail should be located. Hamptom, as holding the exaet geographical center of the county as then stated was ex- ceedingly active in the matter. On De- cember, 1817, a committee was sent to Hampton by the general court to consid- er the situation. Every town in the county sent its best men to join in the deliberations ; including several ~“able lawyers.” Hampton was unable to se- cure & report in the favor and after careful deliberations and other meetings the committee reported in favor of Brooklyn. The general assembly ac- cepted " the report amd act approved May 27, 1819, provided for its execu- jon. At a town meeting In Brooklyn, June 8, a committee was appointed to cor- respond with atier towns and a thous- and dollars was pledged_ for the court house and jail. Delegates favor their respective towns met in conference om June 13 to consider the matter. A com- ‘mittee reported $6,000 would be needed of which Brooklyn guaranteed $2.500 and that the balance should be raised by the other towns. Thompson, Plainfield, Canterbury amd Sterling voted their ap- Pprepration without demurring, but towns Whose ambitious aspirations had heen blighted withheld their quota, but pub- lic spirited citizens subscribed liberally and the sum desired was finally raised. At a meeting of the county court July 20 a committee was appointed to “fix the plan whereon a conrt house and jail should be erected.” At the May session of the general assembly of 1820 it was| “enacted” that “after the court houss and goal in Brooklyn shall have been ac- cepted or approved,” the sheriff was authorized and directed to remove all prisoners from Windham to Brooklyn “and thereafter the goal in Brooklyn shall be used as the onlv prison of said county.” On July 26, 1520 a speciai court of common pleas was holden, Judge His associates Artemas Gur- T David Bolles presiding. were James Gordan, Jr., ley.

Walsh estimated the taxes paid as the result of the drive at many thous- ands of dollars and said that $1,100 due lected from one theater as the result of the drive. All dealers who are liable to a special tax are required by law to keep records of their business. In many of the cases which were investigated, no reco # had been kept and it was necessary investigator to use his ingenuit: ting the amount due. In this work the tables in possession of the revenue de- partment giving the number of ice cream. cones and_ sundaes that can be secured fremn, a gallon of ice cream were brought into ‘play. Dealers were required to ow their orders for ice cream for the period for which the tax was due and the investigator then figured up what he thought the tax ought to be—and the dealer paid the tax and a fize for his failure to keep records. The investigators also collected the war tax due on theater tickets amd fw these cases they had to esttmate the at- tendance at the theater, according to their best judgment. Again the owner had to pay his tax on their figures. Sev- eral public service cars that had been doing business without paying a tax to the government were also hauled up short. The force of forty men who have been working on the matter covered the. state with what was practically a house to houst canvass, As soon as they complete the special tax work the men will be set to checking up on the income tax. All employers. are required to fill and send to the in- ternal revenue department a form giving the names of all men to whom they pay more than $1,000 a year. When an in- come tax return is mot filed by sueh a man the case is investigated. Where it is merely a case of ignorance the de- }linquent is required to pay his tax, amd ne in addition, but where the case. t of someone who apparently is committing a 1 violation of the law, the case is closely investigated and if the circumstances warrant a prosecution is started.

DYSPEPTICS QUIT STOMACH DRUGGING e e e A physiclan says that in most cases of stomach trouble there is really no dis- sage of the stomach at all, but just too much aeid.

This dries the scalp, makes the hair brittle, and is very harmful. Mulsified cocoanut. oil shampoo (which is pure and en- tirely greaseless), is much better than anything else you can use for sham- pooing, as this can't possibly injure the hair., Simply moisten your hair with water and rub it in. One or two teaspoonfuls will make - an abundance of rich, creamy lather, and cleanses the hair and scalp thoroughly. The lather rinses out easily, and removes every particle of dust, dirt, dandruff and ex- cessive oil. The hair dries quickly and evenly, and it leaves it fine and silky, bright, fluffy and easy to man- age. You can get Mulsified coecoanut oil shampoe at most any drug store, It is very cheap, and a few ounces. is enough to last everyone in the family for months. PAINTERS ATTENTION!!
