 Petition in Regard to Postoffice Site.
 Annie Beaudreault, who owns the Cargill house property, will start cir culating a petition this (F'riday) morning that will be sent to the treas ury department at Washington when it is completed. This petition is to ask the government officials to select site on Elm street for the postoffice build ing that was recently authorized for Putnam. The petition states that the undersigned "believe such a site would be more central and more convenient to the public than any other" No par ticular site is mentioned, however, the idea seeming to be to keep the govern ment from selecting a site in some other part of the city and too far away from the business section. It is understood that one Putnam man has offered his property>to the government as a site for the building. and that others will do so before July 2s, which is the date fixed as the time limit for submitting proposals for sites

The Reasons Why.

One of the reasons why rubber IS so high is that the rubber plantations have been developed as speculative en- terprises on the gasbag basis. One instance is reported by an American consul in MalaySia- An estate on which there were rubber trees was sold to a promotion syndicate for $16o.0oO. Appraisers were secured and the valu ation lifted Up through successive viewings to $75O,0O0. Then the pro moters made it an even $S00,000 and sold tine stock on that basis. The prices of rubber above the cost of production were maintained so high that the enterprise prospered in spite of that tremendous watering or the agricultural resources. and the people who buy rubber are paying for that watering. It is the same way all over in the rubber business. If the growers do not get the price the handlers do.- Worcester Telegram.

Not to Be Pitied.

The pathos of age and pain will give emphasis to the gratitude and regard in which he is held. But Dr. Pearsons is not to be pitied- He has parted with one fortune in exchange for the only wealth that is of worth to him now-"which moth and rust doth not corrupt nor thieves break through and steal" He has risen out Of the anonymous ranks of the rich to a place in the history of enlightened philan- thropy. He has nobIy frightened him self of that burden which makes 1t easier for a camel to pass through the needles eye than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven.-Chicago O Tribune.

George D. Johnson's Power Boat Stolen from Moorinss in Mystic and Found Sunk in Harbor-Personals.

The power boat Sport, which belongs to George D. Johnson of Mystic, was stolen from the moorings at a wharf in Mystic some time during Tuesday night and was found sunk in the har- bor near the shipyard Wednesday af- ternoon by Allen Rathibun, who was running around the river in power boat MT. Johnson was notified and he said that he had missed the boat all day, but had thought nothing of it, as lie left her so that a workman could go aboard Wednesday morning and repair the engine, which had been running badly, and he thought that the workman had taken her for trial trip on the river, and when he was called up by telephone he was very much surprised. He came down to this place and had the boat hauled out and il Wi as found that the rubber hose used for water connections for the engine had been cut and this caused the boat to fill. This is considered a dirty trick and it looks very much as though 1t was done deliberately, as there was plenty of gasoline left and no fault could be found with the engine. MT. Johnson says that he considers it bad enough to steal a boat, but when she Is sunk when she is of no further use is going a little bit too far, and if the guilty party is found out he will be prosecuted.
