Wanted George to Do It

Monday afternoon while Manager Fine was at his new theatre in South Manchester, young fellow approach ed him and said, "Say, can you tell me where l can get girl for about half an hour?p
 "What do you mean?" said MT. Fine who was much surprised that any such question should be asked him, es- pecially when he did not know the man, but who always likes to be ac- commodating.
 "I just feel as though needed one in my business,n came the reply. II want to take one over to the minister and get married, and 1 thought you might be able to tell me where l could get a girl"
 "I'm in the show business, young fellow,u MT. Fine said, "and match making is out of my line. If you saw something on one of the bills about matchmaking 1t was referring to one of the pictures we are running in which John Bunny is being featured as a matchmaker. The scenes are laid in Ireland, but further than that you have struck the wrong place"
 "Have you made arrangements to get marriage license?" was asked.
 "Sure thing,n came the reply
 s'How did you manage to get the li- cense if you did not know the girl you were going to marry"
 "I know her all right, she's right outside waiting for lme now. l only want to borrow girl for few min- utes to go across to one of the sky pi- lots and act as witness" l can get hold of some fellow easy enough, but girls are more shy and 1 thought you might be able to help me out. Seeing some girls in the house here, thought there might be some one that you know that would go out and act as a witness to the performances
 The couple proved to be one of the many Bay State couples that are com- ing into Connecticut to getsmsrried, and soon after the above conversation took place they were man and wife.

Farm Colony for Drunkards

A farm colony for inebriates was the subject placed forcibly before the meeting of the Hartford ministers Monday afternoon at the Center Church House, Hartford, by Judge Edgar M. Warner of Putnam. He ap- pealed for support from the ministers for a bill now before the Legislature which has for it's object the establish ment of such a colony and he was not in the least backward in voicing his views of the present condition of things saying that tour jaiis are not mansions of the broken hearted; they are palace hotels for lazy loafers and drunkards." Instead of being houses for correction he said they are houses of corruption and he held the state partly accountable for the downfall of many men and boys. All of the un- desirable conditions now extant he thought would be eliminated by the farm colony.

The Great Seder Sale that has been in anticipation of Putnam's shrewd buyers opened Wednesday morning, and will be a record breaker in two ways:
 First: The prices for values are be- low anything ever heard of.
 Second: The largest amount of mer- chandise ever disposed of in sale in this city will be the record. This is cause and effect.

The Work of a Commercial Secretary

to stir up the farmers OF the county

some similar form of relaxation
| don't know how much salary the

I'll wager that il isn't enough. Dollars
and cents can hardly measure the

work-nor the value of it TO the sec
rotary. for that matter. II there We're
no reward except the money. very few
commercial secretaries would hold
their jobs much longer than il took
them to fnd another job. The secre-
tary's compensation comes largely in
the pride he feels in performing a pub
lie servioe-in doing something for
the whole community
In a sense the commercial secretary
is everybody's hired mantle paid
servant of the community. or at least
or that part or the community winch
has enough civic pride to join the COM
munity organization that is trying TO
make things in this city better. But
in broader sense the secretary is
and should be great deal more than
a mere hired man. He is expected
10 furnish the inspiration with which
to enthuse the citizens with civic
pride. the initiative to propose new
plans for the good of the community.
and the intelligence and energy TO put
these plans into effect.
And if the secretary in this city is
like most commercial secretaries he
does the work and cheerfully lets the
officers and directors and chairmen OF
committees get the credit for it.
That's what he's here for.
