 Holiday Dinner Prospects.
 Indications Thursday were that Thanksgiving turkey is going to cost more this year than it has ever cost before. A wholesale price quoted was 35 cents a pound, to which must be added the price that the retailer will get for his profit. This is a quotation on good turkeys. Poultry, however, will be plentiful.
 State Policeman Returns. State Policeman Robert Hurley of Hartford came back here Thursday and took up new lines of investigation having to do with the work of tracing out Putnam's firebug, who has been l inactive for a week and yho it is hoped | will remain so Officer Hurley visited the site of the Sunday night fire on Priests Island but did not feel certain ! that there was any connection be- | tween this happening and the other fires that are undoubtedly of incendi- ary origin.
 Novel Vaudeville Stunts.
 At the Bradley theater in vaudeville | Thursday afternoon and evening San- dow and Lambert gave the audiences something novel in the way of an act 1 that shows to best advantage the mar vicious physical development that these actors have attained. They do some statuary poses at the opening of their | act that would delight the artistic sense of sculptor, and later give some impressive demonstrations in the way l of feats of strength. A mighty good act, was the way those who saw it | characterized the exhibition. Work on State Road.
 The Trumbull Construction company, which has the contract for building | the state road from the Putnam town line through Killingly to Auawaugan, has put the cutoff through the land of George Wheaton. This part of the work is not completed, of course, but an idea may now be obtained of what fine improvement is underway. When this road is completed it will undoubt- edly be the favoFite route between Putnam and Danielson.
 All knockabout, untrimmed and trim med hats to be marked down, regard less of cost, commencing Nov. 23, at Allard & Carpenters Hat Shop, Brad ley, bldg, opposite Congregational church, Putnam.-adv.
