Rural Cooperation

Practical measures for the promotion of farminfi efficiency are to be discuss ed at the meeting of the New England Federation for Rural Progress in Fan euil Hall, Boston, early next month. One hundred and thirty constituent societies and agencies make up the Federation. They include agricultu- ral departments and agricultural col eges of the six states, farmers organi- zations, and various societies of citizens interested in rural progress. Among these is the Boston Chamber of Con- nlerce whose committee on agriculture is one of the chambers most active agencies for the advancement of New England. The committee on agficul- ture is an ardent advocate of co-opera ton and co ordination in farming. Other advocates of rural progress have joined with il in urging that the kind of agriculture which will best serve New England is cooperative agricui- lure. This is not new system of so- cialism. 1t is the old system of diver sitication applied 10 whole region. It really means rural readjustment for progress.

Fined For Having Watered Milk

Joseph St. Martin, a farmer of Thomp pson who has milk route m Putnam, was before the city court Friday morning and plead guilty to having watered milk in his possession with the intent to sell or exchange. He paid fine and costs amounting to $15. St. Martin stated to the court, as he had previously stated to the Dairy and Food Commissioner at hearing in Hartford, that he had no Knowledge that the milk was watered. He said he bought milk of another farmer and that that farmer in turn bought of others when he did not have sufficient milk 10 sell him, St. Martin. He claimed if the milk was watered that it must have been some of the milk so bought. Judge Mann gave St. Martin The benefit ot the doubt but told him it was his duty to see that his milk was up 10 standard and that if he ap- peared again on similar charge he would not get of 50 lightly.

Notice Served On County Commissioners
Compensation Claimed for Sheriff Sib-
 ley's Death

Notice has been served upon the county commissioners of Windham county by the administrator of the es tate of the late Sheriff Preston E. Sib- Icy of Danielson, who received injuries while about to board a trolley car in Danielson, from which he subsequent- ly died, claiming compensation for his death under the workmen's s compensa- tion act. This Is the first case in the state where public officer elected by the people and paid by the state has been injured in tine pcrformance of his duty since the act went into effect. It is thought that the case will raise some interesting legal questions, para mount of which will be whether such public officer is an employe within the meaning of the act, and in fact whether he may be classed as an em- ploye in any event. The notice is served in accordance with Section Fl of the Compensation Act md sets forth the tlme and place and nature of the injury and states that compensa- ton Is to be ciaime1.

Must NOt Open Gates on Trains

The growing practice of passengers opening the gates on the trains before the train comes to stop at stations has led the New York New Haven and Hartford railroad to issue warning notice on the subject, pointing out the dangers incident to it. The gates on Us cars are rather puzZiing, but 1t ap- pears that many commuters and oth- CTS have learned how to open them, thereby endangering their own lives and the lives of others.
 Passengers alighting from trains before they come 10 a stop,' the notice says 'are liable to serious, if not fatal injuries. Conductors, trainmen and Pullman employees must warn the public against the danger of this prae- Ace and must not open gates or doors any sooner than is necessary before the tfsin comes to a stop at station. N here a conductor, trainman or Pullman em- pioye is located on the platforms Of ears approaching stations, word of caution should, and in many instances, will have the desired effect on the pub lic.u

Ask For Tax List Reduction
Appeared Before Woodstock Board of
 Relief

Attorney Charles l.. Torrey, corpora tion counsel for the city of Putnam, and G. Harold Gilpatrie, a member of the board of water commissioners, ap- peared before the board of relief at Woodstock at 10.30 o'clock We'd nesday morning and were heard in relation 10 having the assess ment against the city's waterworks re- duced.
 The city now owns the pumping sta lion, pipes, and some land in the town of Woodstock used for the purpose ol furnishing the city with supply of water. The property so owned Dy the city has been put in the grand list Of the town of Woodstock al some over SlS,000. The claim on behalf of the re. duction is that the only legal assess ment the town of Woodstock can make is for land owned by the city not ac- tualiy used for reservoir purposes, such land to be valued at fair market value as farming land
 The city owns pproximately 134 acres of such land and it is worth for farming purposes from SIP to SIS per acre. This, at the maximum value, would make the taxable amount, &C., cording to the city's claim, S2,4l2, or an approximate reduction of S14, ,5S8. Counsel submitted brief in regard to the city's claims.

THE BIG STORM
Putnam Partially Snow Bound and Semi
 Deserted
Trains Late-Trolleys Blocked-TraveI
 Difficult

People in Putnam awoke Saturday morning and looked out upon the first real snow storm of the season. It ap- peared to be advancing to proportions equal to the blizzard of lsss. But be. fore night time the sun peered through and the snow ceased. However it was big storm and traffic of all kinds was oil schedule and in some instances at a standsilll. The railroad trains came through when they could get through. The train to and ffom Fitchburg was cancelled for the day. Milkmen who generally arrive by half past six reach- ed the city towards noon. The trolley service was at q standstill and the pla- ces of amusement were but slightly patroDized.
 Monday evening this fall was added to and the new arrival looked for a time as if it might outdo it's predeces- sor, but it petered out. City and town employees broke out the roads as fast as possible. In the city Superintend ent Dumas and his men started out with the snow blow at tbree o'clock in the morning and attempted to keep the paths broken for mill employees. In the outlying sections scrapers worked continuously for three days so that travel Wednesday WAS somewhat Eear normal. It was good old fash season nowadays and brought the first real good sleighing of the year

His family consists of wife and four children, three boys and one girl. MT.

DEMURRER
 SUSTAINED
Putnam Business Men Have Judgments
Cases Will Probably Soon Be Settled

In the scire facias action brought by attorney for w. F. Rafferty and John o. Fox of Putnam against the city of Putnam to the superior court at which time Clifton E. Davenport receiver for the Connecticut Constructing Compa- ny petitionedto be made party. IL was demurred to on the ground that the petition came too late and that 1t raised a collateral issue in attacking the previous judgments the demurrer has been sustained by the finding of Judge Williams filed Tuesday. Unless this is appealed to the supreme court those who have recovered judg- ments against the company will doubtless get their money in the near future.
 The Connecticut Contracting Com- pany installed one section of Putnam's sewer system They contracted vari- ous bills which have not been paid. The company went into the hands of a re- ceiver. During the pending of the &C., ton to have a receiver appointed Judge Futile of Hartford was appointed trustee. Subsequently Clifton E. Davenport was appointed receiver. Four months before the receiver was appointed 2 number of judgments were obtained against the company the plaintiffs garnisheeing the city of Putnam in whose hands were funds due the contracting company. The judgments were taken in June, 1912, reopened in July, 1912, and again awarded. The trustee for the compa- ny brought an action against the city and committee was appointed by the superior court in Hartford to find out how much was due the company from the city. The amount found to be due was S3,600.52 which was made a judg ment by the superior court. Then the scre facias was brought and another set back occurred in the filing of the petition by the receiver to be made a party which in effect has been denied by the sustaining of the demurrer. Now it either remains for the city to pay over the various amounts obtain ed by judgment without further litiga- ton or te summoned in on scire facias to show why such judgments are not paid. It is believed that the sum in the hands of the city as found to be due the company by the superior court is ample to meet all judgments obtained. Those having such iudg- ments and the amounts are as follows:

PRISON WORK
rs,rIss B. Booth Interests His Audience
,.,. f,gt Great Work Being Done and
 To Do

,,borlas R. Booth, son of Mrs. Bal lington Booth of the Volunteers ol o,;co gave an interesting address
 ,to Congregational, Sunday
 aan;up on Voluntary Prison Work. rho address was listened to closely by
 aan,bers of the various churches of inc city and they were touched by the to,eefuI and vivid presentation of the subject. ..,z .lt was not an appeal for sympathy t,, the criminal as such but an appeal to,a chance for him when he has sui. fa,ed the penalty of his misdeeds and an urgent demand that an uplifting hand be extended when he leaves the ,.,;son oates. The idea of refuge for ,hosa men and women was conceived bv Mrs. Booth eleven years ago and since that time 5000 souls have passe d ,nropoh inc homes and of these but 10 ner cent. are either back in the prisons q, unaccounted for. In fact so far as known only per cent. are again be- hind the bars, the other 10 per cent. having been merely lost track of.
 The speaker pointed out that for the sa0o0 men and women behind the bars of states prisons alone there were 200, = 0e0 on the outside dependent upon them for support who are struggling for existence. Some method whereby the prisoner could support his depend ants while incarcer ated was one of the modes of uplifting others that was suggested by Mf. Booth. The great work being done by the Little Mother was illustrated by heart.touching, true stories of men that had served time, come out, found they had a new chance and had made good.
