L DANIELSON AND PUTNAM NEWS DANIELSON Acting as local fuel administrator, F. E. Cunneen has transmitted to all coal dealers in his district the text of an or- der from the state fuel administrator In which instructions are set forth that on svery delivery of hard coal or anthracite used for domestic purposes there shall be 20 per cent, of substitutes included, such ws pea, buckwheat or soft coal Mr. Cuneen has also requested publicity be given the fact that this re- striction has been placed upon the deal- ers, o all may appreciate that the deal- ers in Including substitutes are only act- Ing under the order of the state fucl ad- ministrator. It is explained by Mr. Cuncen that the reason for the issuance of the order Is that while soft coal is plentiful there ac- tually is a great shortage of hard coal in New England and that this shortago will sontinuc throughout the wint The order is effective at once. Mr. Cuneen says: Our section of the state has not recelved as much hard coal s should have been allotted to this ter- ltory, and while our people, have done finely as regards using wood and serving their coal, it must bs brought home' to them as yet rellef is not in sight. If more people who have heaters In thelr homes would realize the adven- tage of soft coal, as to satisfactory re- sults and financial gains, the would be eased for those who ase coal only in ranges and other stoves.

Olson of North Grosvenordale. just returned from a stay of several months in Germany. of which country he talked interestingly and entertainingly Monday. Mr. Olson went abroad in Apeil and has just returned to this country. He was 1l for weeks in a hospital in Cologne, but during his stay visited in numbers of German cities and country districts and had opportunities to observe the stricken nation’s economic condition and to make keen studies of the the war German. s experiences were varied and in some instances out of the ordinary and times withut number he was Impressed with tive all powerful influence of the American dollar in the land where the mal part of its former worth. With the dollar ay a basis of exchange, the value of the mark fluctuates from day to day, and there were times while Mr. Olson ‘was in Germany when a dollar would buy 4.000 marks. It was because of this that Mr. Olson for a period hired a room in |2 respectable quarter for 4,000 marks, the equivalent of one dollar, for a period of one month. - ‘While the incident now appears amus- ing to him, an occasion when he pre- sented an American check for $224.50, to have it cashed, and a bank had to re- fuse him—for twe reasons—was a serious one at the time. The bankers would not concede his request for payment in American money, and, again, they did not hapwen to have handy the approxi- mately a million and a quarter marks that would be required to make the pay- ment. Mr. Olson found it necessary to do bus- iness with the American steamship agency with which’ he had taken passage in order that he might get American money when he wanted it and in such quantities as he had need of for the time being. fiight for good, insofar as getting any part of it back in American money is concerned. One must take goods or marks, Mr. Olson says. Mr. Olson came away with the im- pression that Germany is recovering not- withstanding the tremendous handicap it has incurred through its loss of the World war. He mentioned the fact that the great Krupp works at Essen are run- ning day and night and that the mam- moth plants are barred to visitors.

He is taxed unmercifully for this, that and every other thing, and does well not to venture out alone either by day ‘or night. Crime is rampant in what were very or- derly cities before the war. Mr. Olson had the experience of being struci on the head by a bandit while taking an after- noon stroll in a large ecity, but the chance appearance of two letter carriers frightened away his assailant. Mr. Olson’s mission in Germany was to visit where his son, a member of the TU. S. Marine corps stationed for a long time at, Coblenz. ‘The son is now dead.

People lose connections. in Boston, Providence or other cities for important appintments and often find the greater part of . theic day wasted be- cause the trains do not operate approx: mately on schedule time. As a whole the public is not so interested in the opera- tion of freight trains and' they attract little attention. But it is interested in the passenger train service and because this is not up to the standard the public expects there is a great ado about it.

Mr. Kennedy. a member of the school committee of the town of Thompson, en- tertained the children at a similar party a year ago and the children were 50 joy- ous over the event that he will repeat it this season. ‘ A half dozen or more students of the Howe-Marot school for young ladies at Thompson were in this city Monday dis- posing of tickets for a Christmas-time play to be given by the school, the re- ceipts to be given to the Day, Kimball hos- pital of this city for the maintenance of 2 child’s bed.

Monday brought real cold weather to Putnam, numbers of thermometers about the city showing 5 degrees above zero at 8 a. m., while others touched zero. The mercury climbed rapidly during the fore- noon, however, and in sunny places thaw- ing had setin at the noon hour.
