They may be secured by telephoning Putnam 19o between and 4 p. m. and Putnam 323-3 after 100 p. m. For every ticket purchased before p. m., March 20th a seat will be reserved. A special car will follow the regularsnorthbound car which leaves the center at 50.
 The program is arranged to carry the audience in spirit back to old plan tation days rather than to introduce a lot of commonplace negro minstrel stunts. Instead of securing lay com- pany of ordinary colored entertainers, who, under the direction of MT. Chom- as, the celebrated Afro American bas. so, render such program as our ia. thers recognize is true to the musical traditions of the old-South.
 Some distinguishing features are ju- bilees, new and old, campmeeting songs and "shouts," plantation songs, old negro melodies, cabin and levee songs, comic and sentimental songs, cornet solos, male quartets, character songs in costume with chorus, humor- ous monologs, readings, etc. Adv

High School Notes

A good many faithful rooters Of the Putnam High school followed their basket ball team to Danie'son last Fri
 day to see the outcome of the second game of the series for the champion- ship of the Quinebaug Valley basket ball league. Putnam safely tucked the first game away few weeks ago on the local gym floor, and the hopes of the local enthusiasts were high when they started for Danielson last Friday. They were not disappointed at the outcome of lthe game because they saw their team win by a score of 2I-16. Both teams were greeted by loud shouts and cheers when they ap.
 peared on the floor. The game was fast and furious during the first half, but Killingly had shade of advantage when the period ended. Right from
 the start of the second period, how. ever, the Putnam boys outelassed and outplayed their opponents, overcom- ing their small lead and then pulling through to victory that gave them
 the championship of the league. Sum-

COME HOME. COLONEL; COME
 QUICK.

TVTASHINGToN newspapers have w amusing accounts of the at.
 tempts of their reporters to in terview Dr. Lyman Abbott concerning the Mexican and free tolls propositions. He was evasive as to both questions. but said perhaps we" think the United States should have intervened against both Huerta and the Consti. tutionalists a long time ago, and that we" are not in favor of free tolls. Poor old Doctor! It was a shame for The Colonel to stay away where the Doctor could not consult him when such stirring things were occurring at home. It must be embarrassing to. the Doctor not to be certain as to what "we" think about these important matters. Get back. Colonel. quick. and relieve the Doctors distress. It is plain that his guessing at what you would think is getting on his nerves.

THE SILVER LINING.

- VERY cloud is said to have sill yer lining. The bright spot in
 - the war clouds that have hung over the Gulf of Mexico and the South Pacific for the last two weeks is the
 demonstration of the preparedness of
 the American military establishment for service and its capacity to
 serve when needed. In this instance the performance of the navy was par ticularly brilliant. Within one week from the time that the United States began preparing for armed conflict, we had 17 war vessels in Vera Cruz harbor mounting 249 guns and carry ing 5000 men. The city had been cap tured and 5000 men were ashore, fighting when and where necessary. Another week saw force of infan- try there and yesterday it, too, was landed just nine days from the time the city fell into the hands of Admir-, al Fletcher.
 Not only did the navy demonstrate its mobility, but it's officers and men exhibited the fact that they can fight on land as we'll as sea. Most of Ad- miral Fletcher's work was that of a Brigadier.Gencral, and the men did the work of infantrymen and artillery men. and they did the work they were called upon to do well,
 All of which is not only satisfying to National pride, but it creates a sense of confident security that is worth a great deal.

 The experience of I. J. Sharick, recorded yesterday is that of others who have houses to rent. There are about a score of applicants for every available house. Juneau won't and cannot develop as it ought until this condition is met The only way to meet it is to build more houses. There is no other question of more pressing importance before this city. What is the use of planning big things that re- Quire the employment of people if there is no place for those who have work here to live?
