It is not unusual in the summer months when many oper- atives go away for their vacations, to experience a shortage of help, but that condition is generally overcome in the fall, when the VacauOnlStS have returned 10 their work and many la bOrerS who are at work out of doors in the summer want inside jobs for the cold weather. The extra help has not come with the cold weather this year, however, and notwithstanding that business is good and help is want ed more than has been the case in other years

The idea is to boom Putnam in the inter est of trade; to get the people-of Put nam to do their buying at home; to get the people of nearby towns to come here to do their trading; to make this such an attractive town to trade in that 1t will not be overlooked by shreWd buyers, and to exercise every endeavor to make people think of Put nam when they think of buying. Unity of effort, publicity, bargains and at tractiYe stores are some of the things that are to be advocated in connection with the movement which is being agitated and about which more will be heard later.
