The May " Dinner. !"
AT HAMMOND HALL. Arkul 30,

The ladies of the Woman's Board ol the Day Klmhall Hospital have, for
 several reasons, decided to change the May Breakfast to May Dinner"
 to harmonise with the hour fixed upon for serving the meal, namely, from Il a. m. to , D. m. Also as most likely 10 prove the most successful, on Satar- day, April So.
 In every other respect the meal will
 be served in style to please old and new patrons. The "Breaktaste has al- ways entaiIed large amount Of hard
 work for the ladies from early morn till late in the afternoon. As most of the friends and patrons take pleasure in patronizing the entertainment provided by the ladies for the benefit of the Hos pital, they will no donbt willingly ac- commodate themselves to the hours fixed upon, so that no diminution of patronage will be caused,
 The Valentine Tea, May Dinner and Thanksgiving Offerings, are the sources from which the Woman's Board de-
 rive their revenue to accomplish taeir sell imposed task of meeting the Na-
 rious expenses to maintain the Hospi-
 tai sfler the limited appropriation of
 the State Hospital k exhausted. To fatl in receiving the amount et funds the Waman's Board require to carry on their important and indispensable services, would compel them 10 run in debt.
 But the friends ef the Hospital un- defstand the needs of the ladies in car rying on their benetieent services. and have year by year eheerfally met their various appeals, notwithstanding the expenses iof the Hospital have contin. ued to increase because of the growing demand on its valuable services by the sick and suffering.
 We have occasionally to restate the circumstances of the case that make Il
 necessary for the Woman's Board to send out their appeals, for some may
 not understand the urgency of their needs and not have togo into.debt or to
 limit their services. Personally they have no other interest in soliticing mo ney than to help maintain the Hospital and to accomplish the task they have
 undertaken to merit the appreciation o | it's friends and we'll wishcrs.
 | The dinner is under the entire charge
 of Mrs. Warren Ayerili, of Pomfret
 and Mrs. W. F, Rafierty, of this city Further information In regard to the
 details of giving the "May Dinner, will be given later.

Preparing for the Coming Trade School.

Our citizens should read the address II. Woolsey, Principal of the new Trade School at New Britain. It will be remembered that the Legislature passed bill, at its last sesson, to es- establishi two Trade Schools in the State, authorizing the State Board of Education 10 locate them at it's discre- ton. Our Business Mems Association made a strong effort to secure one of them for Putnam, but failed--one go- ing to Bridgeport and the other to New Britain. The address we print is by the Principal of the school at the latter city, and which Secretary Hine, who was present, said 1t we'll sets forth the subject of Trade Schools. There are two matters from which we can profit by careful perusal of the address we can learn ,all that Is possible, to date, about the schools. Connecticut Is the first State in the Union to establish them on the plan adopted, which is an advance over anything known. or two lads obliged to begin early to earn their own living, and one takes two- year course at Trade School, and the other takes the usual training. At the end of the two years, the former can earn twice as much as the latter. That means great deal, not only to the individual but to the State.
 The other matter is to haye,a suitable committee appointed to acquire ali the information possible, needed by the Board of Education to start the school when the time cones--which will no doubt be soon after the next session of the Legislature meets. The towps ad- joining Putnam are as eager to have Trade School in this city ms are our own people. The same Is true of all other industrial towns that are sure to have Trade Schools.
 There can be no opposition to them in the State, for there has been an eager desire manifested all over the State as
  towns. A Trade 5chooIimesns large valuable asset to each and every com munity that can avail itself of it's pri- vileges and advantages.
 For these reasons all the information needed to start .the school promptly when 1t Is authorized, should be gained as early as possible. Dr. Woolsey's address contributes good deal on that score; ard Secretary Hine, who has had 10 encounter most of the difficuI- ties to overcome in starting the schools, and has also learned much by expe- rience and by close study Of the prob lems that confronts the people of the 6tate, e,--may be able, to impart . still iasger amountof Decessasy Information. Other towns have begun to seek this information. and it will be great b. nefit for Putnam to do likewise.

A Sudden Death.

William l.awton of Westford died suddenly last week after his return from visit to Putnam. Mir. Lawton came to this city to see Frederick W.. Seward, administrator of the estate of Lawton's father. MT. Steward paid him $50 from the funds of the estate, and Lawton went out and about the city making purchases.
 When he was ready to 20 home he went to Joys stable to make arrange mepts for transportation to Westford, the agreement being that he should be taken over in an automobile.
 Mr. Lawton filled the tonneau with bundles until there was barely space for himself, and then clim bed in.
 Apparently he enjoyed the ride, his first in an automobile, and arrived at his destination without accident. He was taken suddenly i'll short time afterwards, however, and died within few hours. Before he passed away he gave instructions as to where fiis body should be taken after death, nam- ing Putnam, and requested that his grave be bricked up, like his fathers. Funeral services were held Monday. Burial in Grove street cemetery.

TREATMENT FOR WINTER IN
JURY OF YOUNG APPLE TREES

In those localities where tempera-
ture of about twenty degrees below
zero was registered. and where the
snow lay on the ground for several
| days at n time, there is more or less
injury to the young fruit trees. In
many cases the injury did not appear
until the latter part OF the winter,
at which time It was found that the
trunks above the snow line and up to
/ the scaffold limbs were darkened In
color. Upon examination 1t was found
that the cambium. or growing layer,
had turned n brownish color, and In
many cases this discoloration of the
cambium had extended around the tree
causing a complete girdling OF the
trunk.
Severe freezing at the ground line
onen causes n splitting OF the bark up
the trunk in from one to three places
FOL about an inch in length. II the
bark between these cracks is loose,
there will very likely be drying to
causing a girdling This cracking will
often be noticed, but generally. for
most varieties. there is enough vital
ity in the tree to heal the wounds.
The Rome Beauty is somewhat sus-
ceptible to this form of injury, and
where the freezing Is severe enough,
the Jonathan may not recover. This
form OF injury should not be confused
with growing cracks, which occur any
place along the trunks and limbs.
Trees such as the Winesap and
Cano, the bark Of whose trunks is nat
urally u dark color, were injured more
above the snow line than trees such
as the Jonathan, the bark OF whose
trunk Is light in color. Undoubtedly
she cause of this condition was due to
sun scald, as the injury was above the
snow line. and for the most part wa<
the worst on the south and southwest.
ern sides. In many cases it extended
around to the north side, but was
never found below the snow line or
running above on the scaffold limbs.
Where this trunk injury was severe,
the smaller limbs were dried out and
dead. caused no doubt by the injury
below. and also perhaps to freezing
dry. The discoloration found In the
sap and in the heart wood OF the
limbs is due to freezing. and Is often
found in limbs on growing trees which
have undergone severe winter.
There are different ways in which
winter injured trees can be treated,
depending somewhat upon the degree
of injury done. When the tree is
dead at the ground line, the only thing
to do is to replant II II is alive for
several inches above the ground line.
1t can be cut off Just below the dead
portion and allowed to throw OUT
growth from some dormant bud, thus
forming a new head. or scion could
be inserted by grating In case OF
partial injury to the young trunk, and
where the top is not frozen back, the
chances are that the tree will COM
pletsly recover In time. In such case
a severe pruning OF the top will be
all that is necessary.
