NORWICH BULLETIN, FRIDAY, MAY 28, 1915 i DANIELSON | New Pillow Tubing Looms for Quine- ! baug Miils—Four Arrests During May—Thirteenth Company at the Range—Circus Pleases Many— Judge W. Fenner Woodward Pre- | sides in Town Court. Local Shriners are to attend, on June 17, the outing of Providence |Temple at a shore resort mnear that [ efty. | Motion pictures of the forest fire lnear Killingly Center a few weeks !ago are being shown. | Some of the schools, which will be closed Monday, will have AMemorial programs today. " The work of the letter carriers con- tinues to increase on account of ex- ‘tra. demands for the service. | Hundreds of new ties, to replace worn ones, are being laid on the local trolley line by track gangs. | First Shipment of Pillow Tubing. ! The first shipment of pillow tubing, a new product at the Quinebaug mills, was made Thursday., Low Temperature Thursday, The temperature was down to 38 degrees in Danielson Thursday morn- ing and some reports gave even lower figures. Some people will never learn that it is very, and needlessly,” expensive, trying to beat one of those wheels at a circus. Only Four May Arrests. May will undoubtedly show one of the smallest totals of arrests in a month_in Killingly for vears. There have been only four to date. Wheelman Injured. Charles Butowski was severely in- {jured Thursday noon when thrown from his bicycle while following the circus parade. ° = } It is stated that no definite plan has been made for changing the tracks of ithe P. and D. trolley road to make way for the big reservoir system in eastern Rhode Island towns. | Killingly grange will be represent- ed by a considerable delegation at the meeting of Quinebaug pomona_with Canterbury grange tomorrow.

On the upper story of the southwest wing, where spin- ning mules have held the floor space for years, spinning frames have been installed. A force of men is here en- gaged in installing new machines. MAY DAY, _PARADE. Men of Thirteenth Company Spend Thursday at the Range. The Thirteenth company, C. A. C. Captaln E. L. Darble commanding, spent Thursday at the range south of here, out for the annual May day pa- rade. On these occasions each year Children Cry FOR FLETCHER'S CASTORIA DANIELSON AND PUTNAM NEWS the men engage in target practice over varifous ranges, which are available x to 1,000 yards on the local range. e high wind of Thursday was a handicap against the making of very high scores, but the men did well, notwithstanding. Catering was by the company cooks. The next period of service, aside from the Memorial day parades, comes next month, when thé company will go to Fort H. G. Wright, Fishers Island, for the an- nual stay of ten days, There they will have opportunity to operate the big guns, usually those of Battery Dutton, Circus Attracts Many, Although the Weather Proves a Drawback. La Tena’s Wild Animal circiis show- ed in Danielson Thursday, just a day ahead of its appearance here last year. Drawing a little better weather than did the Frank A. Robbins show on Wednesday, but not a whole lot better, the circus drew a larger crowd and went away with a more liberal share of change. Two elephants that figured as an attraction with the show last season and some riding acts that were also remembered, pleased at boththe afternoon and evening per- formances. The exceptionally unsea- sonable weather, however, kept the acrobats and others doing risky stunts in the show, from turning themselves out to the limit, but the crowd seem- ed well pleased, especlally as the price for admission has been cut this sea- son. If some weather prophet can arrange it so that Danielson can have better circus weather than it has had for the past two years, business will be better for the shows, especially if the shows themselves happen to be on z little larger scale. PLEASED WITH MERGER. Friends of Both Banks Recognize That New Move Means Solidity and Confidence. The merger of the Brooklyn and Windham County Savings bank con- tinued to be a principal topic of con- versation here Thursday. The ap- proval is_general, While the Windham County Savings bank has been earn- ing its dividends regularly since it was reopened in_October, 1913, after having been closed for fourteen months following action by the state bank commissioners, and has already earn- ed the dividend due next October, it has not since gained the strength that those having its best interescs at heart have wished. It has also since reopen- ing shown that it had the confidence of the public by the number of new deposits that have been received. There have been withdrawals, though, and the total of deposits has grad- ually diminished, There are many in Danielson who always have, and probably always will, charge the checking of the bank’s career in August of 1912 as the result of financial scheming, so positive vet so obscure as to be aggravating to those who were striving, and success- fully, if slowly, to relieve the bank from some of the handicaps under which it was laboring. The finger of definite accusation has never been openly pointed in any direction to substantiate the charge of plotting to gain control of the bank from those who made up its official board, a num- ber included therein having been de- posed by order of the court in mak LIBRARY COMPETITION Many Enter Rac e For Fine Books ATTRACTIVE COLLECTION OF BOOKS AT DEA- CON’S STORE SUBJECT OF WIDE COMMENT FIRST RESULTS OF VOTING WILL APPEAR NEXT FRIDAY ARE YOU CLIPPING THE BULLETIN TWO VOTE COUPON? ‘We desire to correct an error in our announcement of last Saturday. The quoted value of the Library was $1,400 when it should have been $700.00, This was due to the use of the first announcement in another contest belng used for making up copy for Putnam contest, the value of Library not being altered through amn oversight. No doubt our voters understand this now as a letter was immediately issued to our merchants as soon as the error was discovered correcting same. The Library Competition which was announced a week ago today is meeting with a hearty reception among the customers of the various business concerns now associated in the capacity of issuing votes on the basis of purchases made. This Great Educational Movement has been introduced from the Coast of Maine to the Sunny South during the past fourteen years by the Library Advertisinge Company and now Putnam and Danielson are add- ed to the great list of hundreds of villages, towns and cities which have passed through this unique and interesting competition. Many voters are no doubt eager to see the results of their efforts appear in print and next Fridav this will be shown. In the meantime, all in- terested should make their effort as persistent as possible in order that a creditable showing may be made when the results are tabulated and published.

The state bank commissioners repeatedly reit- erated that the closing of the bank was made necessary by its condition at the time and at a hearing before Judge Holcomb in Putnam went into details to demonstrate that this was the case. All's well that ends well, however, and the bank will soon become part of =a fine, strong institution. The Windham County Savings bank has some very choice assets and might in time become a much more important institution than it has been. Daniel- son does not need two savings banks in addition to its other financial in- stitutions, nevertheless. One is ample for the community. Merged, the oper- ating expenses of the two institutions will be considerably reduced and there will be other economic and financial advantages to the depositors of both institutions. New Judge in Town Court. Judge W. Fenper Woodward pre- sided for the first time in the town court Thursday morning. James Mor- rison, charged with having been in- toxicated and with being a common drunkard, was sentenced to serve 90 days in jail. HIGH SCHOOL PRINCIPAL.

Schools will be closed in Putnem Monday, Memorial day. High School Games. The Putnam High school team plays a week end game with Pascoag. Me- morial ay morning the team will meet the alumni, with William Blackmore, brother of the present school team pitcher, on the firing line. The ‘Hammond-Knowlton team has [scheduled a game for Memorial day with the Newfields of Bridgeport, a rea] lively organization, it is said. The practice of taking a daily plunge in the river has been sus- pended by the local swimming enthu- siasts until after the new winter is on its way. Many Dogs Not Licensed. The fact that there are approximate- ly 75 dogs less registered in Putnam than was the case last year is very likely going to result in an investiga- tion to determine who has not paid the regular annual fees. Selectmen in various county towns are engaged in compiling lists of citi- zens to be recommended for jury ser- vice during the year beginning Sept. 1. The selectmen submit a list that will be reduced one-half by the jury com- missioners, as directed by law. Club Named for Agent John Reardon.

The show is a well organized and controlled one and those in charge have every desire to respect the wishes of those who like to see Memorial day observed in accordance with the spirit of respect that it should inspire. Few Surviving Soldiers. The approach of Memorial day re- calls that the little community of East Woodstock supplied 53 men for ser- vice in the war, and also the sad fact that only a few of the number are living. The list of names contains many familiar to present day residents of this section by reason of the fact that their descendants are still numer- ous in the Woodstocks, Putnam and surrounding towns. Woodstock Children Clean Out Cater- pillars’ Nests. The good that can be done by a little organization, some cash and a dash of cleverness has been illustrat- ed by Senexet grange of the town of ‘Woodstock, which some time since of- fered prizes to children who would make the best showing in collecting egg masses of caterpillars. Scores of thousands of the masses were collect- ed by the hustling little people and the result is that the section of Wood- stock in which they operated is freer from the pest than any other part of this section of Windham county, which is literally tented this year by the crawlers. Senexet grange and the whole community where the children operated will draw big dividends on the small investment made through comparative freedom from the pest. The town of Putnam, and Killingly as much so, is overrun with the cater- pillars this spring. Want to Be Superintendent of Schools Several applications for appointment as principal of Putnam High school have already been received by Supt. H. W. Files to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of Principal John A. Backus. Just when the town school committee will meet to take action on the applications, which are expected to increase in number, has not been de- cided. That Putnam is not an unpopu- lar place with teachers or others con- nected with school administration was indicated recently by the fact that more than 50 applications were re- ceived for appointment as superintend- ent of schools. BLACKLISTED MEN. Not Always Known to Them, Liquor Dealers Complain. Some of the liquor deelers of the town complain that they do not know a number of the men whose names ap- Pear on the blacklist. From time to time new names are added to this list, which is required to be kept conspicu- ously posted in each licensed place, and it is not infrequently the case that the dealers never saw or heard of the man. This mekes it practically im- possible for the dealers to safeguard themselves against selling such a per- son and becoming liable to be penal- ized according to law. The dealers would feel much safer if they could have an opportunity of some certain means of identifying all blacklisted men, for there are those among those under the ban who will try to buy, it is said, if they feel at ail sure that they are not known in the place where they are deciding to try. Dr. James Kent Improving. , Dr. James Kent, who has been seri- ously ill with pneumonia at New York, where he practices his profession, is visiting here with his parents, Dr. and Mrs. J. Bryden Kent, and is steadily regaining his accustomed health. Foresters to Remember Dead.

When the twelve men who heard the evidence in the libel suit brought by Mr. Barnes against Mr. Roosevelt re- tired one juryman, Burns by name and a motorman by occupation, stubbornly opposed a report in favor of a real verdict for the colonel. He was the central figure in the one public act furnishing the climax of the five weeks political drama. There were reports that everything but a fist fight had been resorted to by the jurymen to compel an agreement. Athough Mo- torman Burns can take care himself —he is six feet tall, weighs 195 pounds and is handy with his fists—he finally Jjoined with the other eleven and found a verdict for the colonel. Althovgh Mr. Roosevelt thanked all of the jury- men he was more than cordial tol Burns. '—?'———_l DRS. L. F. and A. J.
