Bartlett was delighted with the courtesy shown her upon her recent visit to Dudley, Mass, to speak on suffrage before the mem- bers of the grange at that place. Mrs. Bartlett was introduced by Rev.

The many admirers here of Smil- ing Joe Connolly, famous outfielder of the Boston Braves, note with some concern that the leading hitter of the Nsational league last year seems to have lost something of his effective- ness with the bat this season. From the proud position he occupied at the top of the list of heavy hitters in the organization at about this time last year—headliner of the exclusive .300 hitters—he has dropped down to 28th place and his average for 64 games is only .274. Connolly’s mmd: are unable to ac- count for his uni slump, though realizing that he is .fill batting ahead of the average big league player. He always was a heavy and natural hit- ter even in the old days when he wore a Putnam uniform and it’s rather out of the ordinary to find him drop- ping down. It is predicted here, how- ever, that he will finish the season in the .300 class, TRADE SCHOOL BUILDING. To Be Discussed at Meeting of Cham- ber of Commerce Thursday Evening —More Room Needed. ‘The monthly meeting of Putnam Chamber of Commerce Tflmd&y eve- ning will be held at 8 o'clock at Odd Fellows' hall, and will take up the question of the State Trade school here. It has come to the attention of the Chamber that the school as it is now is doing a very good work, but is badly handicapped in its pos- sibilities for growth. The present hired building is crowded in some de- partments, and the textile branch, which ought to be of the greatest in- terest to Putnam, where so many make their living in the mills, can- not install the machinery necessary to give a complete course, as the con- struction is not -heavy enough to bear the weight. There are no evening courses, yet it is in this respect that other textile schools render their greatest service to the community. Men who work all day at their trade, and come to school In the evening, make the most earnest students. In the textile schools of Massachusetts, such pupils outnumber/the day schol- ars sometimes fourteen to one. And the records’ show that men of this sort occupyg a large percentage of the responsible positions in the towns concerned. ‘The state of Connecticut stands ready to make this school far more efficient, and in so doing to spend large sums of money, if the town will do its share. To erect a suitable build- ing, at an estimated cost of $15,000, is what is asked. In that event, the state will maintain the electric, wood- working ’fd machinist departments as at present, with more machinery as needed, and will add thousands of dol- lars’ worth of textile equlvmenf, l.nd o g S i S ear the of Hent, po-wur janitor and watchman and sometimes even pay part nr lha oper- GENUINE ECZEMA REMEDY New Remedy That Heals Eczema Quickly. members of the Chamber of Com- ; you !
