PAY YOUR POLL TAX.
The Number is Nearly a Thousan
Behind Last Year.
Notwithstanding the fact that
this is a campaign year, the num-
ber of poll taxes paid is nearly a
thousand behind last year ami
more than that behind the year
before.
There was paid during the year
1908 3,045; during 1907 3,349. and
for 1909 there has been paid dur-
ing
October........665
November........351
December......608
To Jan. 15......422
Total ......2,046
This shows that nearly one
thousand polls must be paid be-
tween now and January tire 31st
to come up to the former num-
ber. With a local campaign that
promises to be a lvely one, on
and the poupulation increasing,
it docs seem that there ought to
be more polls paid for 1909 than
for the two years previous.
There has only been 175 poll
taxes paid in the city, against,
nearly 500 in 1908.

A Hartford Conn., special says:
‘•An alarm clock attachment that

operation on the farm of George
Howe on Center Hill.
At 5:30 in the morning the al-
arm goes off releasing a weight
which slides several quarts of
oats into each stall and remov-
es the covers off the water
