The box Is located at the cormer of Main and Jackson streets near the trolley line, and for seme time it has given trouble now and then by sounding one stroke when ths trolley car passes. There was some trouble on the wires Saturcay evening cdused by the lightning, and it was found that this box was the center of the trouble so it is now cut out of the circuit await- ing repairs. The néarest box to tha location is on Lincoln gquare. Cars Leave Siding Near Bolton. Trains running through this city on the Hartford division were about half an hour late Sunday, because of a weeck at Vernon.

Franeis Loveland, eight years old, Was run into by one of the Hartford automobile jigneys, Saturday afternoon al 3.45,7on Main street, near the post ;vmce, and his leg was broken near the iip. According to an eye witness, both partics were a littlé to blame. This person says that just before the ac- cident, two boys, including Loveland, started to cross the strest. The first boy reached the other side, but Love- land was in the middle of the right hand side of the street, when tile jit- ney, bound for Railroad street, ran into him. The driver of the car dodged the first boy, and evidently thought there was no other. He was taken to St. Joseph's hosvital whers he is now recefving attention. The injured boy is the son of Mr. and Mrs. 0. 8. Loveland of 66 Windham street. The driver of the car was Benjamin Apler of Hartford A. benefit dance and concert for the Russian Orthodox church of this city was given at Labor Union halt Sat- urday evening. There was a good sized crowd in attendance, and music was_furnished by an oxchestra com- roséd of members of the church. Ar- rangzments were in charge ¢f Thomas Lucas who was chairman of the com- mittee. The funeral of Helen, the infant daughter of Mr. and Mrs. K. Gun- ny, who died Friday afternoon of tu- bercular meningitis, was held Satur- day afternoon at 1.30 at the home of her parents at 38 Jackson place. Bur- ial was in St, Joseph's cemetery. City water department men repaired the leak in the city water main near the pumping station Sunday. The pumps were shut off during that time, but the city was supplied with water from the reservoir.

And it took bet- éF in the than it did in th morning n in the ,- at that. One d]dn't have . to stra.m an eye Sunday morning, nor wait leng, to see a dozen ears—pleasure cars—spinning through Danielson. Some of them were driven by Danielson people, oth- ers by drivers from nearby towns. They - hadn’t evidently,- been very much impressed by the national fuel admiinistrater’s. request to - abstain from Sunday running of their cars, as a_patriotic meve toward the winning of the war. That disregard of the ad- reonition to save gas on Sunday was not being heeded in other states, no more than in Connecticut, was evi- denced by the fact that an observer checked # cars, from Rhcde Island, Massachusetts, New York, New Jer- sey and Pennsylvania in Danielson, in sérvice, on Sunday. Those who did run their cars very palpably set a bad example for many | who did not. Tkis was demonstrated in the 'aftérnoon, when many more cars were out than was-the case in éhe morning. “If he can drive, I can nd will!” was about the way some decided the situation, and forthwith went . to their garages and got out their cars. The drivers faced no trouble in getting gas. There was plénty for sale about town, at regular filling stations and there was no or- der against selling it. ‘What happened, Sunday was but a vindication of the judgment of many motorists that the Garfield method of conserving gag is far from the best one that can be adopted. Many mo- torists here are hitter against the or- der, considering it as discriminatory against the car owner who cannot drive on week days and little less than a joke to the man who can drive all the week if he wishes, burning wup therein a hundred gallons—or two hundred if he sees fit to do so. If cars were out throughout New Englaind as they were in this vicin- ity Sunday, there must have been thousands of them running along the highways. It is not to be taken from this, however, that the great major- ity of car owners did not refrain from driving Sunday. They dic But they were doing a iot of hard thinking, and it wasn’t particularly pleasing to some of them, who have relatives or friends in the service, to lay up their cars to help win the war, while many aliens, who will do nothing te contribute to- ward the ending of the terrible strug- gle, were out in their cars enjoving the beautiful ‘weather that the day brought. It is now a comparatively safe bet that Dr. Garfield will have to guess again before his gasoline conservatign programme is placed on an equitable and effective basis. Death of Alfred George Walters. Alfred George Walters, 7, son of! Mr. and Mrs. Arthur H. Walters, died Saturday of pneumonia at their home on Barrett hill in the town of Brook- Tyn. The little boy had been ili only two days. Mr. and Mrs. Ernest Perry of River. view are entertaining Mr. and Mrs, S PUTNAM Tilt mmmuenw Ecponatty Heawy Stanton Ballard, who mother, Mrs. Newton A. Ballard, and brother, Kenneth C. Bailard, has been spending two weeks at Vineyard Ha- ven, Mass, has returned to Putnam. Mrs. Ballard and Kenneth Ballard will remain several days longer. Trade School Convention. A ‘meeting of unusual importance is to be held in this city September 13 and 14-at which time trade school men from 3ll over Connecticut will gather for two days’ convention. State Secretary C. J. Hine, his assistant, Secretary Morrison, and Mr. Trinder are to be present, as well'as abott 75 others. A speaker, not yet selected, will address one session of the gather- ing, and several papers upon trade school topics will be read .by dele- gates. There will be a general dis- cussion of trade school work, and an inspection of the local school and work that is being done there. After serving his customers in this city with butter for 38 comsecutive jyears, J. H. Converse has retired from the business. During that time, he has not mis: supplying his customers for a single week. Putnam public sehools open tomor- row (Tuesday). Already teachers have returned to resume their duties. With the exception of the High School there are but few changes in the teach- ing staff. Vacation Contest. A contest is to be held by the Y. P. . C. E. of the Congregational church in which thé winning side is to receive two extra days at an outing the socie- ty is to have next summer. The so- ciety is to be divided into two divi- sions, boys opposing girle, 4nd a cap- tain chosen for each. Points of merit are to be awarded for attendance at meetings, for behavior, and for spe- cial service -done, and at the end of a stipulated period. the side with the largest rumber of merijts to its credit will be declared the winner. The indi- vidual with the highest score will re- ceive his vacation at a very small ex- pense, the one with the next largest number at a cdst a little in advance of the winner, and so on, Much inter- est is wmanifested in the contest. Writing from France. Corporal Louis N. Girard states that recently he had the honor of seeing General Pershing, when the latter was in Bor- deaux to inspect American troops. Corporal P. Girard is enjoying the army work thoroughly and finds fauit only with the French mud, which he describes as clav-like, and so sticky that it has to be scraped from the books with a knife. Private Wilfred Therrian, North Grosvenordale! who was gassed while in action, and who has been returned to this country for treatment, writes from a base hospital in New Haven that he is well on the road to recov- ery. Fle hopes to be able to return to France, and says that being .ia this rountry, doing nothing, makes him restless, especially when he thinks of his comrades overseas. Master Gimner Gilbert F. Perrv, of Citv TEneineer and Mrs. Perry, Providence street is at the home of his parents. Gunner Perrv is son George David_Skedgell and son, Ralph, of New Bedford. Mr. and Mrs. A. M. Daniels of Ayer Mass., visited with rejatives “here on Sunday. Earl F. Wood of Providence is spending the holiday with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. S. F. Wood. Mrs. J. W. Kennedy was at New London, where her husband is em- ployed, on Sunday. Miss Florence Hughes, a supervisor n the Providence eentral -telephone exchange, visited here with Mrs, Ab- by* Hopkins. Miss-Hughes will return to Providence today. Thomas Grady, who is employed at Moesup temporarily, visited friends here over Sunday. Several cases await consideration at this morning’s session of the town court. Three of the men held Sun- day were locked up for having been intoxicated. St. James' parochial school will open tomorrow morning for the fall term. Today, Labor day, manufacturing plants here will be closed and com- mereial business largely suspended. Banks are closed for the day and the mail service will be on a holiday schedule. A number of soldiers who are at Camp Devens were allowed leave to spend Sunday at their homes nere. The practice of soldiers desiring get young women correspondents is still alive, as attested by a number of addresses that were tossed off a troop train that was run through this place. Registrars to Be Sworn In. The registrars who are to work on registration day, Thursday, Septem- to ber 12, will be_sworn in this week in the town Killingly, and supplies for the day will be turned over to Town Clerk Frank T. Preston, who will have supervision over the regis- tration in the town. Connécticut Mills’ Team Field Day. The public is bidden today to the big field day arranged by the Con- necticut Mills basebal] team. The programme of sports is one of the most elahorate that has been arranged for Danielson for some time and is certain to develop a number of con- tests that should prove very interest- ing. This observance of Labor day will be the only one that has been arranged for this vicinity. To accommodate the returning tide of tourists who have been spending vacations at points in Maine and other parts of northern New England, many Pullman cars have been fun northward since the week-end and have now begun to return to New York, over the local line. It is stated that more than $150,600 of the new issue of stock of the Con- necticut Mills company has been sub- scribed for, this being the issue that employes have been invited to share in, which many of them have done. Sunday proved an idea] day for the annual outing of the Rough and Ready Hose company, No. 3, which met at the Old Furnace. The shore dinner was prepared by King George Jacques of East Kiliingly and was pronounced excellent. Killingly High school will reopen tomorrow for the fall term. Princi- pal Ernest R. Warren will be in charge and the staff of teachers will be much the same as during the school year that closed in June, “The catching afire of a quantity of pop corn at Ralph Shoales’ place of business created a dangerous situa- tion, but the prompt action of Mr. Shoales for the extinguishing of the little blaze served to conquer it be- fore any material damage was done. Once more the published suggestion is made that the voting of no-license in_ Killingly will mean the abolishing of the day police patrol. Danielson isn’t going to be hedven even under no-license, as the bitter experience of many no-license years attest, but the breaking up of the present efficient policing of the borough is one of the things suggested as the accompani- ment of a possible period of no-li- B o L R cense. Of course there wouldn’t be any possible chance, under no-license, of drunks drifting in her® from places stationed at Tortress Munroe, Va., where he is instrueting in surveying. Evening School Plans. According to Superintendent of Schools William L. MacDonald, the night school to be held at the high school building this fall witl not begin until November. Mr. MacDonaifi an- ncunces that Miss Gladys Bard has been engaged to. teach -commercial subjects, and Louis F.-Battey to have charge of thé elementary weork. It is thought that it may be necessary to have an aseistant in this department, as already there is indication that the enrollment will be large. At the trade shop the regular trade shop faculty will have charge of the evening class- es. Pomfret Leads in Community Can- . ning. Miss Charlotte Emblefon. home economics demonstrator of the Wind- ham County Farmers’ association, for the past few davs has been engaged in tabulating the reports from the va- rious towns of the county - showing how much ea®ining has been done in each. Early in the spring each town was given an allotment of a certain number of ' quarts of produce -to be canned by the women. The town of Pomfret, according to figures: Miss Embleton has at hand. is the feading town of the countv. With a quota of 3.000 quarts, already it has exceeded 6,000. Other towns that have done more than was required of them. ahd the allotment in each case are: Ash- ford, 4000 quarts: Brooklyn 3000; Chanlin 2000: Thompson 3000: Wood- stock 3000: Eastford 2500. At the Con- necticut fair in Hartford this week a large map is to be on display. and each town in this county that has ex- ceeded its canning allotment will be designated with a gold star. Putnam, Willimantic and Danielson will not be so honored, for each of these three towns has fallen below what had been expected of it. Putnam had 50,000 quarts to preserve, and less than one fourth of this amount has been done. Danielron women have done better and of an allotment of 50,000 put away 28,000 iars of produce. ‘Willimantie has the poorest record in the comwnty. In that city out of an allotment of 50,000 only one-eighth has been com- pleted. Tn speaking of these last thre towns Miss Embleton states that their quotas were exceptionally heavy, and somewhat out of proportion to popu- lation, which may. in part, exeuse their rather poor showing. A train of 13 cars passed’ through Putnam Saturday afternoen ecarrying” past week have been at Readville. Mass.. and are on their way to the Charter Oak Park. Hartford. Fridav evenine Miss Charlotte Em- hleton of the Windham Farmers’ as- sociation was In Moosup. where a demonstration team that = she had trained exhibited the proper methods fof preserving farm produce. Wednes- day afternoon she will give a demnn- stration at the home of Mrs. Carl Eke, South Woodstock. The same evening Miss Embleton is to address Woodstock grange. Dies at 95. Sirfl Paine, 95, a retired farmer died Friday night at his home in Wood- stock. He was born in Burrillville, R. 1, the son of Cyril and Waity (Coop- er) Paine. He is the uncll of Amos Paixe. of South Woodstack. The body will be taken to Pascoag for burial.

Of paticular interest was a pennant captured from the Crown Prince’s army. The flag is white, and has upon it a black death's head, with cross bones. Members of the Putnam Country club were in Pomfret Saturday after club were in Pomfret Saturday aft- ernoon where they played in a golf match with the Stafford Springs team.
