The Faith or Two
Union Farmers Club

On Saturday March 81, the
Union Farmers Club met at
the beautiful home of MIR. and
Mrs. G. H. Deur, although it
was the fist of spring the day
was cold and disagreeable out
side, but in the Deur home all
was warmth and sunshine for
Mr. aud M, Deur met all wiz
such q vatsG and hearty vel
come that we soon forgot we
ever had cold weather. The
club opened with some fine in
stsumental music by Mrs. Deur
AND daughter, then some good
selections were read and discus
sed. | think such discussions
are good to broaden our minds
and make us look at things
from many different points Of
view. Dinner was announced
and all partook of a bountiful
dinner. Then visiting was in
order and all seemed to enjoy
that to The fullest exteut for |
think no gathering can out do
the Union Farmers Club for
true sociality. In the afternoon
the young people rendered a
very nice program especially the
two little ones ltht looked like
a little prince and a princess
that went through their parts
with such exacFness. The club
discussed some good questions,
and you could see by the way
they handled the tax questions
chat the farmers intend to fad
cut what becomes If so much
tax money and no better roads
and bridges than we now have.
They also made some good sug-
gestions to try help to make a
better county fair. The Cay is
always TOO short for club day
so some questions had to be
laid over TO next meeting and
still all were reluctant to leave
this congeniai home, but it will
always remain Il RED Letter

nate as to be invited there.

 Against Him.

John R. Laplante, formerly of Put nam, was sentenced to six months tn the house of correction by the judge of the police court of Brookline, Mass, who found him guilty of polygamy st a session of the court last Saturday.
 Laplante also went under the name of Dexter and when he was arrested on a charge of larceny in Brookline the police discovered that he had another name and likewise another wife. The police department of Brookline com municated with the police department of Putnam stating that .they had the man locked up and would prefer charges of polygamy against him if his wife and motter-in.law would ap- pear against him. Captain Murray interviewed the women at the mother in-law's home on Woodstock avenue and they said they would appear whenever wanted.

Mayor Macdonald recently returned from sydney, Novia Scotia, says he does not advise vacationisers 10 make that place their objective point under existing conditions. The sound of the bugle is heard necessarily and soldiers are seen everywhere. Thes departure of troops is not a pleasing sight. The Mayor WAS an eye witness of the touch- ing scene of the departure of the crews of two score French travellers leaving to join the tri-color of their native country against Germany. There were about 100 of the French reservists in the fishing feet. Mothers, wives, sweethearts and relatives gathered to see them off and some of the fareweiis were heartrending as aged parents looked upon sons for what they be- lieyed was the last time as they board ed the boat that was 10 take them across thei eiwaLer.

NatiOnalizing the Telephone.

The "cost' of the postal service, as officially figured, never includes the cost of housing the ssrvlce, the interest on government bonds issued or money invested in postofiice buildings; if 1t did the deficit never would be wiped out. Apparently the advocates of na- tionai telephones do not include such cost their estimates, for they sug- gest that the Government need not purchase any of the real estate Of the telephone companies, Temporarily renting buildings until accommodate tionsicould be provided in the post office and stations. But the Govern ment can't get along without it's ex- changes and 1t must pay for them in one way or another.
 When 1t can be demonstrated that the Federal Government can give bet ter telephone service or an equal ser vice at lower rates than are now charged, there will be little reason to protest against government ownership. But the report of MT. Burleson's com miltee does not afford any promise of that sort. The Philadelphia Evening Bulletin.

Lightning Did Little Damage

Reports that came in Saturday morning indicated that Putnam and vicinity was fortunate in escaping damage from the electrical storm that swept over this section during the pre- ceding night and causing considerable destruction of property. In the own of Woodstock on the Massachusetts border lightning knocked down great trees and splintered poles. An ell ectric car on the Charlton-Webster line was struck by lightning and Southbi.dge nroperty was damaged by bolts. The storm was very heavy in this imme- diate vicinity, but the lightning, while brilliant, caused very little damage.
 Al East Douglas, on the Major Ben ton place, big ash tree was torn apart by the lightning, which also en- tered the house and played havoc, practically wrecking the inteIior' Mastering was torn of the walls, pic- lures knocked down, and furniture torn to pieces. None of the inmates were injured.

Prayers Offered for Relatives and
 Friends

Though usually immune from the worries that are common to those mingling in the affairs of the world, the great European war has east its shadow over the various convents in eastern Connecticut towns and cities, where a majority of the Sisters are of foreign birth. This is particularly true in Putnam, Danielson, Williman- tic, Baltic and Moosup, and also in Wauregan. Many of the Sisters in the Holy Ghost, St. Joseph and Sisters of Mercy-are natives of France. Not few of them have brothers or other relatives in the ranks of the French army, end the crisis now fast az. proaching n Belgium and in Alsace- Lorraine is almost certein to cast the shadow of death upon their families. Others of the Sisters are natives of Belgium, and they, too, are cast down by the horrors now being visited upon their native land. That the burden of the war IS upon tucih io hot aPPoiehes however, to even the critical observer, for they go about their customary du- ties with the same sweet patience and piety that marks all of their work. Only semi-occasionally do they see d paper, some of them never at all, and such death and destruction as may be visited upon their relatives and their relatives property will not l. known to them probably for months and months. In the meantime they are burdened with the awful knowledge that their loved ones are battling in the greatest war in history, and for them their prayers are dsily-hourly -nfIared

ATTEMPTS SUICIDE Woman Who Says Putnam is Home
 Jumps in Canal Married Man Who Eloped with Her Spurned Her Affections

According to a despatch from Low ell, Mass, a woman giving the name of Mrs. Annie Bishop, and her home as Putnam, tried ito commit suicide in view of hundreds of persons by throw ing herself into a canal. The woman was rescued n an unconscious condi- tion by mill employees and taken to hospital. A note she had written was found stating that the cause of her act was cause her proffered affections had been spurned. An hour before she attempted to take her life Mrs Bishop had been arraigned in the po- lice court and given suspended sen- tence of four months in the house of correction for carrying a loaded revol- yer. The complainant in the case was Philip Garyeau, who Mrs. Bishop stated on the witness stand she met in Lowell some months ago; that he de. serted his wife end six children to go to Putnam with her and after being here month he borrowed money from her and returned to Lowell where she followed him. It was said that Gar veau learned that the Bishop woman was looking for him and hid under his bed and sent bis daughter to notify the police.
 Inquiry in Putnam does not disclose the identity of the woman. Although the name seems familiar to the police they can not place the woman and the name dc not appear in the city di- rectory. There are several families of Bishops in this end of Windham county but so far cS known TO Annie Bishop. The police are inclined to be- lieve that if the woman lived in Put nam she was probably mill operative who came here for while from some other place as there are certain fami- lies of French Canadians who trans- late their French names into the Eng fish one of Bishop.
