BY MAN-PoWER.
Motor Driven Vehicle Put to New
 Uses.

Danielson has a motor driven vehi- cle which the chauffeur steers by tax ing his place between the shafts, re- placing the horse that formerly was used to pull the machine around town The vehicle in question is not an au- tomobile and the man who owns it does not pay the cost of operation The machine was not built for speed or pleasure; it was produced as a business asset-for saving wood by power. The owner kept a horse to pull the machine around until he con- celved the Idea of reducing expenses by eliminating the animal and this he accomplished by connecting the power that is used to drive the saw with the rear wheels of the arrangement on which the wood cutting outfit is mounted. Now when change of To- cation Is made the owner switches on the motive power and steers the very tractable machine to it's destination. He finds that gasoline is cheaper than oets and is getting some extra profit as the result of his idea.

M'coMRER's WATCH FOUND.
Located in thbridge-Missine Knife
 Not Yet Found.

There have been no developments in the McComber case during the past two days. The case continues to be a matter of lively interest to Woodstock people, however. and they are anxious to know what the state police make known as to their investigation in their report to Coroner A. c. Bill. It is re- ported that McCOmber's watch. which was noted as missing when the body was found, has been located in South bridge at the place where the dead man left it. This, if the report be true, would tend to strenpthen the theory that McComber was a suicide or at least explain one point of impor- tance that at first would indicate mur- der. It is said, however, that search of the vicinity where McComber's body was found has failed to locate the knife or other instrument which it was absolutely necessary for him to have to inhict the terrible gashes in his throat How he could have hidden the knife or disposed of t so that it can not be found after using 1t on himself remains a question.

SALVATION ARMY
Leaders Seek Month Pled1es to Sup.
 port Their Work.

Captain Withee of the Salvation Army, who came to Putnam last Mo- vember with Mrs Withee to take up the work that the organization does, has a plan to increase the revenue necessary to obtaining the best re- suits. Captain Witness plan is to se- cure pledges for a certain amount to be given towards the work of the army each month. He has met with en- couraging success and in a degree to establish the belief that the work the army is doing in Putnam is appre- ciated. The pledges, however, are still far below the point 1t would be desira- ble for him to have them reach. Cap- tain Withee is credited by those who know his work best with having done remarkably effective and efficient ser vice during the six months he has been in Putnam. Scores of needy persons have received the aid the army gives. Clothing and food have been distrib- uted sick people cared for and many other deeds of charity credited to the officers in charge.

TWENTY CARLOADS.
Much Valuable Machinery Coming for
 Hope Printing Company.


 Indications are that, industrially. East Kiliingly is to take on a new lease of business activity. The coming of the Hope Printing company, to occupy the Ross mill means prosperity not only for the eastern section of the town, but for all of Killingly. This concern promises to make a notable addition to the manufacturing inter ests of the town. Their coming has not been heralded by any blare of trumpets; rather has their securing possession of the mill property been unsupported by the general public. The big shipment of machinery for the mill, now at Dayville, gives a line on the scale upon which they propose to do business. The machinery all ready received is to be followed by other shipments aggregating upwards of twenty carloads. The plant will be in operation in a few weeks.
