Apropos of the “trade at home” campaign of the business men’s as- sociation a local citizen has directed attention to a new and unconsidered angle of the whole broad proposition of buying and selling by local business frms, local manufacturers, concerns, and individuals, i. e, the revenue that Danielson gets from some of the great business organizations that are often PUTNAM NEWS PUTNAM Holy Week Observance—Death of Mrs. Martha M, Moulton—H. L. Baer Starts Training Police Dogs—Attrac. tive Program for Open Night at High School. Daniel Marble is ill with pneumonia at his home here. 2 Banquet Postponed. Owing to the illness of several in- terested persons the banquet to have been held with Rev. George Daven- port as guest of h onor at St. Philip's church Thursday evening has been postponed. Henry B. Ryan of Providence was a visitor with friends in Putnam Tues- day. Judge M. H. Geissler presided at a session of the city court Tuesday af- ternoon. The week's sessions of the superior court begin here this (Wednesday) morning at 10.30. Developments may show that some of the brush fires that have occurred referred to as attracting trade from Danielson, getting it away from the local merchant, There is a mail order house in middle western city that does an enormous business _throughout the country and not a little in Danielson and its immediate vicinity. It sends out itg five pound catalogues broad- cast. Danielson people get some of them. Danielson people not only get this firm’s advertising, but respond to it, much to the chagrin of local bus- iness men and not infrequently to the disadvantage of the customer who might have spent his money to better advantage at home. Paradoxical as it may seem, local business men who are strong for the trade at home move- ment ‘in some cases get the big mail order house catalouges and slip an order to this particular firm at the expense of a brother merchant right here at home, in the meantime con- tinuing to denounce the mail order business. Only a few of the business men do this, it should be understood. The fight against the mai]l order competition goes on through its va- rious phases, now waning, again wax- ing warm and persistent. Giving at- tention to legitimate metnods of over- coming it, the fact that the mail or- der busingss means buying as well as | selling is forgotten, absolutely over- | looked. But the mail order houses are buying just the same, buying in as- tounding lots and quantities to meet the great demands made upon them. Where do they buy Not in Dan- ielson, surely? What have we to sell them? These are questions one hears at once, this phase of the trade mat- ter introduced. “Why this _ town doesn’t get a dime from them for ev- ery thousand dollars they take away from it” is a comment one may hear in directing attention to the question of where thne mail order houses get their goods. The people who think that way are about as far wrong as they can be, though, There is one manufacturing con- cern upon which the prosperity of Danielson is vitally Gependent that has shipped this very week to the n:ail order house a five-pound cata- logue fame $3,000 worth of goods. This shipment represents only a little fraction of the big contract the local manufacturer has with the great mail order house, which will turn scores of thousands of dollars into local trade channels before the contract is com- pleted. This money will come to the manufacturer and, in reasonable per- centage, will be paid to employes for wages, which, it is fair to presume, Wwill be in great part spent at home. There is sufficient reason to doubt that the mail order houses and the city houses that are visited by Dan- ielson retail buyers will get $3,000 in trade from this borough this week and gcod ground for belief that in all of 1915 the out of town houses of all kinds will not get as much money from Danielson buyers as Danielson employes will get from one particular mail order house, not considering oth- ers. ‘What Danielson is getting from the outside is as essential to Danielson’s prosperity as what the outside, is get- ting from Danielson. In this great country so closely knit together in its trade relations, even between very distant points, it is not only possible, but prcbable, that Chicago may be do- ing something for little Danielson, even though everyone in Danielson doesn’t know about it. This isn’t even an argument against the “trade at home” campaign. It is not set forth with such intent. It shouldn’t lessen the buy here movement one whit. It s simply a phase of the trade ques- tion that eyes riveted on a different goal have failed to observe and 1is given publicity only that attention be directed to the fact that Danielson is getting more from the mail order business that goes out of it than the mail order houses are getting from this snug and prosperous little town. It is another illustration of the mutual interests one may have and of fail- ure to appreciate them. a Why not have Hot Biscuits for Breakfast to-merrow!

Putnafh high school will evidently have a strong baseball team during the season about to open and that the team should be successful, Freight Volume Increasing. : Freight is moving through Putnam in greater volume recently than has Dbeen the case for a long time, a prom- ise of improved industrial conditions. If the bill providing that only one license for each 1,000 of the population should become a law Putnam would be ‘entitled to only six licenses. There could be only two places i addition to the four hotels. All the Massachusetts couples who would wed have not learned that the trick can’'t be done in Putnam any more, by non-residents, without fil- ing & five days' notice of intent to marry. Town Clerk David Flagg had to impress that on the minds of a couple who came here recently from ‘Worcester. Tramps Return With Spring. With these earliest of the spring days the tramp nuisance is about to make itself felt. The hoboes _are drifting into this section in numbers, having hibernated in more congenial climes. Residents along Killingly ave- nue and outward were pestered with the beggers Tuesday. TRAINING POLICE DOGS H. L. Baer, of New York, to Use New Farm as a Tr: ng Camp. Henri 1. Baer, who cames from the vicinity of New_York, has pur- chased the Frank Harrington farm near East Killingly and is to _establish there a training camp for police dogs. In this work Mr. Baer is an expert and teaches the intelligent animals which he selects for this work—a fine breed of German collies—to do things that seem almost impossible for ani- mals to perform. There are to be 40 dogs in the camp when its full complement is received. Already a number of dogs have ar- rived. Mr. Baer has trained dogs for the New York police department and for other police systems throughout the country. In the fine open country about the farm Mr. Baer has secured at East Killingly, he will have a great field in which to develop to the utmost the intelligence of the dogs. They have miles of country to work over and will be in little danger of interference from what might prove detrimental influences. The training of a dog as Mr. Baer trains one is a long and tedious pro- cess, but the results achieved are well worth all the time and labor spent. ‘When one of the dogs on the police camp farm is ready to be delivered he is a graduate of a school where he has learned much. Mr, Baer's clients, if they may be designated as such, include not only police departments but some of the wealthiest families in America. The dogs are valuable to these wealthy in- dividuals for use on their country es- tates, some times, perhaps, to chase away process servers or other unde- sirable individuals. The dogs_are no respectors of persons when they are on_duty, doing what they are told. Shipments of the dogs that are to undergo the training process have been arriving this week. Some came to Putnam Tuesday morning and oth- ers arrived at Dayville Monday. They are hurried over to the farm as soon as they arrive and will not be seen in an urban section again for some time to come. When they do reappear they will be members of the police dog camp alumni, with a degree to write after their names, for instance, D. O. C.—detectors of crooks. OPEN NIGHT AT HIGH SCHOOL Gym. Classes, Plays, Cooking Contest Arranged for Entertainment of Friends of the School. The High school will be open Fri- day evening, March 26, to all parents and friends, and a most interesting program has been arranged for their entertainment. As last year ome of the classes will be at work, and the entire building will be thrown open to_visitors, In the domestic sclence room the Boy Scout cooking class will be in charge, and will be at work prepar- ing delicacies that will show their skill as cooks. One of the features of the evening is the cooking contest. Each class taking cooking is prepar- ing a table for exhibition and as each class is trying hard to win there will naturally be some fine exhibits at the various tables. Mr. Trinder, Mrs. George Perry, and Mrs, Ernest Morse will award the honors. The boys’ gym class and the girls’ class will each give an exhibition in the gym which should far out-do the work done last year on open night. In the physics and chemistry labora. tories pupils will be at work per- forming interesting experiments. The sewing classes will also be at work. It is planned to have some of the boys who take mechanical drawing on hand to how the visitors a little of what is being done in this line. The drawing department has been developed to a great extent this year and this branch of the school work should be of spe- clal interest. Three short plays will be presented during the evening; the first, a play in Latin, by pupils of the first year classes: following this the pupils of the French classes are to present a nch farce. “Madame est sortie,” and this will be followed by a comedy playlet in English, “A.

A game has also been arranged with the Hammond & Knowlton team but the date has not been settled. Importance of Periodicals. Miss Keith was in Boston Saturday attending the spring meeting of the New England.English Teachers' as- sociation. The topic of the meeting was the use of periodicals in high school and college classes. The chief speakers were Prof. Dallas Lore Sharp of Boston University and Hamiltoh Holt of The Independent. Indicative of the emphasis now being placed on the use of magazines and weeklies is the fact that in one of the New York high schools a thousand coples of The Independent are taken by pupils each week for use in school work; other weeklies recommended are The Outlook, The Literary Digest and The Nation. i Of particular interest considering his own profession was Mr. Holt's statement of his firm belief that not more than one-third of a person’s time available for reading should be spent on newspapers, weeklies, and other periodicals, at least two-thirds of it being saved for the more valua- ble reading of books. The teachers of the Putnam high school have long wished to make greater use of periodicals, but have not been able to do so because of difficulty In obtaining a sufficient number of magazines. The work in debating is also greatly hindered by the same lack, especially of bound coples. PLAINFIELD The K. O. S. P. soclety met in St. Paul’s parish hall Monday evening. Albert Kennedy and family of Green- dale farm are receiving much sympa- thy. Mrs. Kennedy who has been very ill for several weeks, is still confined to her bed; two children—Fred and Em- ily—are kept at home from school by {liness, and now Mrs. Kennedy’s sister, Miss Esther Barber, is sick in bed. Miss Edith Gardner of Voluntown is visiting at the home of Albert Ken- nedy. The M. M. girls met Monday even- ing with Miss Lois Wibberley. Mr. Shaw, who has moved into the Shea house on Gallup street, is clean- ing up the grounds and improving the place. WHEELER SCHOOL. s Hear Interesting Addresses— Directors to Run Sehool Farm— Vacation Begins the 26th. March 12 Prof. Samuel T. Dutton, treasurer of the College for Women at Constantinople, spoke to the Wheeler school about the work of American teachers and misslonaries in Turkey, and also about the effect of the war on their status in Turkey. A. J. Brundage of Storrs spoke to part of the school recently on the sub- ject of Girls’ Canning Clubs. It is hoped that a number of girls in the town of North Stonington will get to- gether during the summer and form a club of the kind. The minstrel show given by the boys of the school last Friday attracted a large audience which seemed well pleased with the performance. The proceeds go towards a deficit on the school paper of last year. Work on Goldsmith’s She Stoops to Conquer will start in earnest after the Easter recess. At their March meeting the board of directors decided to run the school farm this season. The school has purchased a printing press and outfit which will be placed in the boys ’dormitory. This will give boys a chance not only to do practical ’ work, but to make a little money dur- ing their spare time. School closes next Friday and re- opens Tuesday, April 6th. American Locomotives to Greece. Consul General Alexander W. Wed- dell, Athens, writes that a contract has recently been closed between the Greek government and an American company for the construction of 20 locomotives and tenders for the lines of La Societe des Chemins de Fer Helleniques.

It shows Frank Stites, an aviator,- In the upper aeroplane just as it tilted and started on its sud- den descent, which resulted in Stites’ death. It shows the explosion of the dummy aeroplane below him. The concussion of the explosion is suppos- ed to have created an vacuum which unbalanced Stites’ machine This air tragedy occurred at the open- ing of Universal City, Cal, the mov- ing pleture manufacturing Dplace. Stites was taking part in a sham battle of the air for the movies when it turned into a real tragedy. The other photograph is equally interest- ing.
