TELEPHONE GROWTH.
Recalled by Mrs. M. E. Medbury-
 Changes During Eleven Years.

The growth of the telephone business in Putnam has been surprising. Mrs M. H. Medbury, who has resigned as manager of the local exchange, recalls the time, only II years ago, when, one Sunday morning, the old switchboard in the former telephone office in a building in Union street, was "cut out" loaded into an express wagon and taken down to the then new office building on South Main street. Today there are ten subscribers in the Put nam exchange for every one that was receiving service at that time.
 As compared to that little switch board, long since discarded, the new seven position one in the new tele- phone building is a marvel and marks 8 long stride forward in telephone equipment. This new board has a ca- pacity of 1,6O0 subscribers circuits. To the ordinary and unfamiliar ob- server it is an electrical wonder, with it's flashing signal lights and many complex parts.
 The service that will be given through it will be as high class as is given anywhere.

UNITED STATES TO
RECOGNIZE CHINA
Ceremony Will Take Place
Today in Pursuance of Or
der of Secretary Bryan.

PEKIN, May 1.-The United States
will recognize the republic OF China
tomorrow. The Chinese government
will testify to its appreciation by an
elaborate reception and luncheon to
the legation staff at the winter palace.
Before Secretary Bryan left Wash
ington for California, he announced
that Charge Williams at Pekn had
been instructed to extend formal recog
milton to the new republic of China as
soon as the constituent assembly had
been properly organized in all its
branches and provision made for the
election of administrative officers. At
that time 1t was expected that these
prehminaries would occupy orly few
days but party divisions sprang up in
the lower branch of the legislature,
which resulted in deferring until yes.
terday the completion Of the work of
organization.
Now. however, with the election Of
Tang Huang as speaker of the house
organization is perfected in both
branches. as the senate had been or.
ganized. The American charge d 'af-
flares will therefore be able TO carry
out his instructions from Secretary
Bryan, and America will be the first
of the great powers to extend recogui-
tion 10 the infant republic.
