Beede's Talk to Boys.

More than 500 high school boys and
other boys above the age OF IA years,
assembled at the Y. NJ. c. A. Big Boys
meeting Sunday afternoon and listened
to talks by Superintendent f. H.
Beede Of the public schools. and by

Mr.. Beede declared 1t is the true
hard working boy who gets the job.
There's little luck, and no pull about
it, he declared, emphatically.
Work, hard and honest, is about
what is needed. The boy of today
has a better chance than l have had.
Boys make good by sterling integrity
and insistent endeavor. The magnet
WIFI not attract dough, nor VIII It at
tract brass. But 1t will attract true
steel. / have never known success to
be achieved except by industry, earn
estness and honesty. You can't sit In
6. boat and float up stream. The busi-
ness concerns OF today want the boy
who does his duty without question
ing.
Il want to condemn this most fnsidi-
GUS talk of today that boys get on
through a pun. They do not. Take
what you can get, and make good
And when you have made yourself use
full you will find that you have made
good. It lies with you. Luck has lit

Special Town Meeting Votes for Re-

Bonded-Fine and Jail Sentence for
killinu Deer.

The special town meeting at the
town hall in Stafford Hollow was well
attended Monday afternoon, and con-
sidering the radical move to have
property put in the assessment list
at its actual value was quite harmoni-
Gus. The special committee appointed
last October to consider the matter
was unanimously in favor of a re-val-
uation and their report was accepted.
The committee also recommended that
the state tax commissioner submit
names of several non-residents to the
selectment who will select two of them
to act with the board of assessors in
making up the new list. 1t was also
decided to send printed list of the
assessment annually to all taxpayers
Another important matter was that
of bonding the town to pay the indebt-
edness. 1t was voted to issue bonds
to the amount of $4,000, payable ST.
900 annually, beginning in 1918, and
bearing four per cent. interest. The
assessors will get to work on the new
list as soon as the two non-residents
are selected.

the Cases Were Disposed of.

Only one person was sent to jail
from Putnam during January. making
the nearest approach to clean record
Of civic righteousness for years. Only
16 arrests were made during the 81

serious offense, unless drunkenness be
considered such. OF the 16, six got
into court for failure to send their chill
dren to school, six more were up for
breach of the peace and drunkenness,
one for injuring a building, one for
false pretense, one for violation of the
junk ordinance, and one for getting
beer for blacklisted man.
Nine of the 16 paid the fines imposed
by the court, three cases were contin-
ued, one withdrawn, and one solitary
unfortunate went to jail.
The police report also shows that
IL electric lights were reported out a
total of 100 hours. Two doors were

EXPENSIVE DEER.
Fine of 800 and Costs and Jail Son.
tence for Killing Two.


Michael Czvar was fined 800 and
costs and sentenced to jail for 80 days
by Justice of the Peace William H.
Head of Stafford, who was called to
Wilmington to hear the case Monday.
The offense with which Czvar was for
mally charged was the shooting and
killing of two deer. although there is
a strong probability that he has been
at least a party to the killing of more
of these mild-eyed creatures. The
accused admitted the killing. but said
he thought he had right to do so on
his own premises. The arrest was
made by Deputy Game Warden W. H.
Hall of South wilmington. Mr.. Hall
said that when he went to Czvar's
house he found eight quarters of deer
sailed down in barrels. The owner
said it was veal but the game war
den's experience and knowledge of
venison served him nobly, and he said
there was not a particle Of doubt in
his mind that the meat was venison.
He then went upstairs in the house
where were found the carcasses of two
more deer. He also found the antlers,
the hoofs and hides. which he brought
into court as exhibits. After hearing
the state of the deputy game warden
Justice Head imposed fine Of 500
and costs and sentenced Czvar to jail
for 80 days. Later in the evening
Czvar was taken to Tolland Jail. His
friends expect to pay the fine and
costs, but the jail sentence must be
worked out. The case was prosecuted
by Attorney NJ. D. OConnell of STAFF
ford Springs.

PUTNAM.
Hartford's Sealer to Address Local
Business Men-Effect of New Years
Resolutions Seen in Police Report
Ice Harvesting.

John r. Kemmerer, sealer of weights
and measures for the city of Hartford,
win be in Putnam this "wednesday
evening to address a gathering of bus
mess men, the town selectmen and such
other officials as desire to be present.
The meeting is to be held in the com
mon council chamber. Mr.. Kemmer-
err comes to Putnam on the invitation
of E. w. Joslin, recently elected town
sealer of weights and measures. He
will address the meeting on the meth
DDS most approved for verifying the
accuracy of weights and measures and
review such laws as have been enacted
to govern the procedure of sealing Of
ficials; in fact, he will touch on all the
points of interest relative to the matter
to be discussed. For nearly 20 years
weights and measures in Putnam have
not received the attention Of an Off
cial sealer. This lapse of time, nat
urally, has caused the system OF seal
ing to become somewhat obscure, and
the object of Mr.. Kemmerer's visit is
to explain in detail such points as are
not clear and recommend where there
is j choice of methods.
Mr.. Joslin deems it wise to have the
people interested given an opportunity
to hear an authority talk on the sub
ject. and when the sealing is COM
menced in this city the chances will be
more favorable to the methods adopted
proving satisfactory. Mr.. Kemmerer
will remain in town Thursday, and will
visit various business places with Mr..
Joslin and point out how various types
of scales may be tested or adjusted.
One of the principal questions to be
decided is how to fix the charges Tor
the work of sealing. In some towns
in the state a fee system is in use,
whereby the sealer fixes his own
charges in each place officially visited.
This is not altogether satisfactory,
however. and many other towns favor
paying a fixed salary to the officials
and having them turn the amount of
their collections. based on fixed rates,
over to the town. Mr.. Joslin favors
the latter method.
