NORWICH BULLETIN, SATURDAY, JUNE 5, 1915 [TCHING PIMPLES ON FACE AND ARMS Would Turn Into-Blotches, Caused Disfigurement. Had to Keep Arms Wrapped Up. Used Cuticura Soaj and Ointment. In 2 Months Well, 46 Wight Place, Springfield, Mass.— My baby had pimples on his face and arms and they would turn into blotches. They caused disfigurement while they lasted and they ftched, for he would, scratch il he would bleed. When he scratched, wherever he put his bands afterwards on his face or arms, other pimples would appear. Nights he woke up crying and I had to stay awake with him to warm water and bathe him. 1 had to keep his arms wrap- ped up most of the time on account of his clothes. “I used a number of salves and other remedies, but none did any good. Then I read about Cuticura Soap and Ointment and thought T would try them. In one week I ‘could see his skin beginning to clear up and in two months it was all well.” (Signed) Mrs. J.

QUINEBAUG POMONA, Attendance of Over 100 at Canterbury Meeting—Practical Talks on Timely Themes. (Centributed.) Perfect weather and good traveling heiped to dr over 100 patrons to the meeting of Quinebaus Pomona grange at rl v May 20th in the very buste: season of the year. The new Grange hall recently dedicated and the ner in prospect which the matrons know so well how were attractions, but the snet was the_excellent pro- furnished by Lecturer Maud The first number was a duet, violin and piano, by Mr. and Mrs. Hawes of Canterbury. Mr. Hawes an exp violinist and his leading number with encore was greatly en- Joy Hawes has recently jolned the order and he and Mrs. Hawes will be very helpful members, Miss Lillian Frink, the Canterbury lecturer, read w0 orizinal poem. Worthy Master Hu- bert Graves gave some of the history of the grange and the hall. Miss Wil- liams of Canterbury gave a vocal salo which was heartily encored. She has a good voice. Brother Hayden of Meadow Brook gave a “Sermon on the Apple,” gramme K. Wh framed in biack which also drew an encore. Brother C. H. Kellam of Woodstock talked on Market Garden- ing and Orcharding, in which lines he has had years of success. His talk was interesting and instructive. Mrs. George Ladd, lecturer of Massa- chusetts state grange, spoke of many phases of grange work. She empha- sized the growing importance of dis- tribution problems, when the man who runs the farm and does the hard work, gets surficiently remunerative returns to make it equally attractive with other occupations, then the young folks will be more willing to stay on the old homesteads. These problems can be solved only by co-operation. Co-op- eration means confidence in each other. It furthermore means that if you have not_the courage and ability to be a leader, then you must have the confi- dence ‘to foliow your leader and—not kick about it, either. Country schools should be as good as those of the cities and should be kept open all the year, with school gardens or farms and kitchens to teach agricuiture and domestic science, and make the young people so efficient as soil tillers ‘and the farms so profitable and the country homes so attractive that the country would more and more Dbe recognized as the place to live and the place to develop the best possible type of citizens. Appreeration. The curtain descended slowly. Ham- let had dled a beautiful death and ‘was being carried out shoulder high and by his loyal friends. The audience pat with bated breath, impressed with the solemnity of the occasion. Not a whisper was heard and the sllence was so intense you could hear the beating of your own heart. All st once a sbrill whisper was heard distinctly, “My, aint that just swell!” ERNEST M. ARNOLD PUTNAM, CONN. Specialist in Inactive and Unlisted Stocks and Bonds Correspondence Solicited.

Place for Male Teacher. Several applications have been filed for the appointment as teacher of French and German at the high school. It is probable that a young man, who will_also supervise athletic activities at the school, will be selected. A very good quality of pillow tub- ing is being manufactured by the Quinebaug company. in_which plant the line is new. The weaving pro- cess, four-harness work, is exceedin ly interesting and has been mastered by the operatives assigned, Summer Services in Park. At a meeting of pastor of interested churches plans were completed for the usual open air park services, to com- mence the first Sunday in July and continue through that month and Au- gust, Sunday evenings. A schedule for "union morning services in_the Congregational, Methodist and Bap- tist churches was tentatively ar- ranged. There is speclal local interest in the appointment of Guy F. Miller of Bridgeport, formerly of Hartford, as a member of the commission, which includes Former Governor Simeon E. Baldwin, to codify the taxation laws of the state, a work that is very im- portant. Mr_ Miller is well known here and in Brooklyn, Comedy Well Given, Maidens All Forlorn was the title of a comedy well given in Phoenix hall Friday evening by a cast that included the following young ladies: Miss Alice Wells, Miss Mildred Chase, Miss Hazel Barstow, Miss Mary Grifiiths, Miss Mazie Kitson, “Miss Jocelyn Denby.” The entertainment was followed by a dance. Total Dog Licenses 465. A list of dogs licensed In Killingly up to May 22 gives a total of 465 ani- mals and shows the sum received from registration to have been $618. There are undoubtedly unregistered dogs in Killingly, these to receive the atten- tion of Dog Warden Michael Grim- shaw, who is on the lookout for them. There was rellef here upon receiv- ing the information during Friday that the fire at the plant of the Rowe Qalk company in Hartford was not as bad as at first reported. The chief owner of this concern is Attorney Warren D. Chase, son of Mr. and Mrs. Charles D, Chase of North Main street. The business is large and im- portant and has been so made by the exceptional talent and business abil- ity of Mr. Chase, who has made its product known throughout the frost belt of the United States and in Can- ada. Mr. Chase has had the plant on a Capt. John Murray and His Men Raid Barn and Capture 15 Hoboes—Pri: oners Sent to Jail—Scouts Pass Ef- ficiency Examination — Wheelmen Warned to Keep Off Walks. An official communique issued Fri- day by Captain John Murray's forces announces the greatest exploit in local “war” zones for many moons. This was no less than the capture of For- tress Cutlerski, in the northern sec- tion of the town, with its entire gar- rison of 15 Knights of the Road and all of their equipment and inclina- tlons to worlk if they were only given the chance. The first battalion of Putnam’s fin- est, Captein Murray commanding and with Sergeant Patrick Hayes and Pa- trolman Julius Cordier, without aero- plane inspection or preliminary shell- ing advanced to the attack, their forces being rushed forward in an automobile truck and two touring cars, which were later to be used in bringing in the " prisoners of war. The fortress, which happens to be a hay barn, was surrounded by fhe three officers and the chauffeurs of the cars and entrance gained without awakening the sleeping captains of indolence. When all was ready the captain signalled tho sleepers to awaken and they did so, a surprised and blinking lot. Fifteen in num- ber, not a man of them had a chahce to get away. They were handcuffed and linked together with a leader, loaded into the machines and taken to the police station, where they rather overcrowded the cells. The raid on the barn, which has be- come a notorious hobo camp, was pull- ed off late Thursday night. For sev- eral days reports had been coming in as to the number of tramps that had congregated at the place and in this city, where many of them were in fhe habit of spending the day, they had become very much of a nuisance. The cleanup was decided upon. The of- ficers happened to hit just the right time for the raid. Thursday night was unseasonably cold and the hoboes had crawled into the hay (no joke) rather earlier than usual. Every man was sound asleep when the officers ar- rived, so the clean-up was easily made complete, not a man escaping. Arraigned in court Friday morning the prisoners were all charged with vagrancy. They were brought before Judge Geissler in groups of threes and told many stories to explain why they were in the barn. In every case they represented themselves as more than anxious to work, ves, indeedy, but. you see, work is slack just now and it is rather difficult to secure employ- ment in the skilled trades that we represent, etc, etc. Some of them pleaded guilty to the charge of va- grancy, others tried to evade and then admitted the charge and still others pleaded not guilty. All got jail sentences, however, ths time imposed by the court varying according to circumstances some degree, to S0 arrange as to prevent ail of them from being released in a group. The list of prisoners and the sen- tences they received is as follows: Charles Gosslin 30 days and costs of $9.09, which was also the costs in ev- ery other case; Lawrence Keenan, 30 days; George Malone, 30 days; Vin- cent Donohue, 30 days; John King, 30 days; Willlam Daly, 30 days; Bernard 'Smith, 40 days; John Mc- Caile, 40 da: Patrick ' Quigley, 40 days! John Welch 35 days; James Coen, 50 days: John Galbarth, 36 days; John Gallagher, 60 days; Leo Penn, 59 days; George Lachapeile, 60 days, The men ranged in age from 64 to ears and claimed residence at va- rious points from Cohoes, N. Y., to Eastport, Me. They were a tough looking bunch and the city and vicin- ity will be well rid of them. Some of them have been begging about the city and otherwise generally making a nuisance of themselves, It cost the city about $47 to prosecute them, to arrests, feeding and other inci- dentals, but it seems to have been worth the money. The arrest in Put- nam in the first four days of June tota] 23 . Tramps have been almost as plen- tiful as cutworms in this section this spring and none the more desirable. An amusing incident of the tramps day and night schedule for months turning out orders that included im- portant business from the allied na- tions at war in Europe, It is under- stood that most of the concern’s war orders were for the French govern- ment. Woman Driver Ca If you are the owner of an auto- mobile and happen to be out riding with a lady, it may prove to be very poor policy to let her drive the ma- chine, even though vqu gain the ad- vantage of free hands. A young lady who was driving through Dayville on a recent evening “plugged” an inno- cent man who stepped from the side- walk to get aboard a trolley car. Those who witnessed her handling of the car say that proper action would have ptevented the accident. The man struck grasped the radiator to save himself from going down and under the car, which he succeeded in doing, but he was hurt, nevertheless, and had to be taken to his home near At- tawaugan and has since required treatment, although he has been able to be about.

Remarkable knowledge of the city and much that pertains to it was shown by Boy Scouts in undergoing an examination written and oral, at the high school. The examination ‘was conducted by L. O. Willlams and by scout officers. The boys were asked to answer many questions about Putnam—as to its streets and their location, fire alarm boxes and their location, the city’s manufacturing industries, its business organization, lists of city of- ficlals, county officials, hotel Jocations, drug store locations, physiclans’ names and their home and office ad- dresses, the arrival and leaving time of trains and of trolley cars, dis- tances from this city to many other points and a score of other subjects. All showed a remarkable knowledge on the subjects and it is practically certain that very, very few residents of the city could ‘answer one-half the Qquestions that the -boys did, First honors were won by Frederick C. Allard, who was given a record of 998 points out of a possible 1,000. His showing was really remarkable. Allard is a member of Troop I The other contestants and the number of points they recelved follow: Bartley Giraca, 901, he Deing also accredited to Troop I; S. M. Walsh, Troop 2, 890; Mark . Klebart, Troop 5, 887; Edward C. Fisher, Troop 2, 848; Jo- seph D. Flagg, Troop 2, 847; Donald Johnson, Troop 2, 833; Dana Johnson, Troop 2, 828; Oclid Favreault, Troop 1, 738 Troop 2, with five members in the honor list, made the best troop show- ing, and are entitled to special con- gratulation, but all of the boys did well under the tests that were so try- ing. Wheelmen Warned. Officer Benjamin Chaffee was en- gaged Friday in posting signs about the city that give warning that the practice of riding bicycles and motor- cycles on the sidewalks must cease. Many complaints about this misde- meanor have come in lately. The warnings must be taken seriously, it is understood, and thcse who fail to heed them will in all probability find themselves in court, Foresters’ Memorial Sunday.

The exercises in the cemetery here last Monday were at 10 o'clock as us- ual, and were brief. Only two of the veterans, Melvin L. Nichols and Jared H. Stearns, were able to be present. The drum corps was in attendance, and four sons of veterans. The pupils of the public school attended in a body and sang “Battle Hymn of the Republic” after which they placed flowers on the graves of the old sol- diers. They then went to Mansfield Center to assist in the exercises there. The lack of general interest in what the day stands for was manifested by the absence cf all except a few of (h;ue living in the vicinity, the faith- fuls. ire In Woodbox. Early Tuesday afternoon while Mrs, A. D. Palmer was upstairs, she heard screams below and rushed down to find fire in the wood-box which stands behind the kitchen stove, and ascend- ing to the shelf, which was beginning She dragged the box out in- vard.

IT WAS ALMOST TERRIBLE Mrs. Potter was careless. She was careless about her clothes, about her money (and incidentally her hus- band’s), about her handbags, about packages, about almost everything. If the truth must be told, her pathway was strewn with misplaced articles of various sizes and descriptions and of greater or less value. In a less ad- mirable person this fault might not have been so glaring, but as she had no other flaws in her husband’s eyes this particular trait took on giffantic proportions to him, “It's inexcusable for a grown woman to be so heedless,” Potter remarked heatedly one evening after he had had a peculiarly exasperating time pur- suing to its Jair a handsome muff which his wife had carelessly left on the train Mrs. Potter dropped a kiss upon his bald spot. “What's the diff when T have a nice old_thing like vou to run around and find them for me?” she inquired blithe- I “You may not always have me,” re- joined Potter darkly. “Toots!” replied Mrs. Potter frivo- Tously. “I couldn’t lose you.” “Well, I'm afraid you'll get a severe lesson some day,” Potter said senten- tiously. The annovance of his hunt for the muff was still rankling to a certain extent several mornings later, when, along toward noon, after having spent most of the morning at home going over some important papers he paused beside the table in the reception hall and scowled down upon a handbag which lay there. “Tll bet anything she’s left that $20 bill in it that I gave her last night,” he thought. Then he tried the front door. “Unlocked, of course,” he continued his angry musings. He picked up the bag, held it uncertainly for a moment while he glanced about the hall, and then dropped it into the umbrella stand. After which he proceeded to his office with the serene consciousness of having begun the teaching of a good moral lesson, Several hours later, as he took down the receiver of the teiephone in answer to its rippling demand for attention, his wife's voice, agitated, came to him, “Oh, George, George, please, please! I don't know what to do! The most awful thing has happened. Oh, please hurry—I don't know—" “Hurry where?” “Here; home,” she fairly shrieked. “Don’t wait a minute! Don't wait a second! Potter hurtled out of the office, hat in one hand, coat in the other, and plunged madly into a taxl, hurling half a dollar and a fire of instructions at the chauffeur. Just what tortures Potter, naturally of an apprehensive turn of mind, went through during that short drive home he only knows. He dashed up the front steps of his home with his mind whirling with visions of the awful catastrophes which had, he felt, most certainly overtaken his cherished fam. ily. At the door his wife flung herselt WHOLESALE DISTRIBUTORS s9 NORWICH, CONN, iving It is a great It is guar. Both into his arms, crying hysterically, “Wait just a_minute,” she gasped “till T tell you about it. She’s in there? “Who?” queried Potter excitedly. “The woman—the book agent,” hix wife quivered. “She says—oh, it's been perfectly terrible, George!
