FIREMEN'S FIELD DAY
False Alarms Win Base Ball Game
The Hose Race Undecided. Parade and
 Music

The field day of the Putnam fire de- partment was held last Thursday on the High school grounds with large attendance witnessing the sports. The men met at headquarters at o'clock where the parade was formed. Isaac Champeau acted as marshal and led the procession on horseback. The American band followed and then came the Mansfield hose wagon follow. ed by the men pulling the hand hose racing cart.
 When the grounds were reached little time was lost in organizing the contesting teams, the False Alarms and the All Outs. Will Fuller, Jr., acted as umpire and from the time play was called the interest was in- tense. The game went the scheduled nine inninge and the False Alarms proved themselves the real thing by winning out with 29 to 20 score. There was plenty fof slugging, and good sprinkling of errors that lent un. certainty to the game until the last man was out.
 AS soon as the game was over the band marched up in front of the High school building and the hose races be- gan. There were some good runs made but owing to the fact that there was a difference in the work done no decision as to the winner was made. The events were as follows:
 No. laid POO feet of hose, connected with hydrant and had water on in 40 seconds.
 No only laid 15O feet and had water on in 35 seconds.
 No. got the wrong cross at the hyd' rant and were disqualified
 The Hook & Ladder showed that they could handle hose as we'll as axes and ladders an laid 200 feet of hose and had water on in 40 seconds.
 In the hand hose contest two teams were made up. The first team eom- posed of members of No. 7 and the Hooks covered the distance and laid the hose and had water on in 30 sec onds while the team composed of men from No. l and No. 3 took B seconds, being bit slow in getting the water on after good run. At the conclu- sion of this race the procession formed and marched back to headquarters reaching there at 5.45. Graydon Sharpe acted as timer for the races.

To Leave Tillable Land.

Legislation to carry into effect the
forestry amendment to the state con-
stitution is being planned by Will
liam T., Cox, state forester. This
amendment, ratified by the voters
November 8, provides that non-ag-
ricultural lands belonging to the
state be set aside for forestry pur-
poses. .=,... 4, ..,
The state auditor has almost un-
limited power in the disposition of
lands belonging to, the common
wealth, and probably would have
the right to select arbitrarily cer-
tain Of these unfit for the growing
of agricultural products, for tree
culture. 1t has been thought best
to obtain some legislative authority
under which the auditor can act and
provide some method for the classi-
tication Of all state lands into agri-
cultural and non-agricultural.
l. To accomplish this lit is proposed
that the legislature create a board,
consisting possibly of the governor.
attorney. general and auditor and
dean of the agricultural college. This
board would be empowered with the
authority to employ experts, consist
ing of agriculturists and foreeter'.
to survey the state holdings and re-
port which are suitable for the grow
ing Of crops and which are suitable
only for the raising of forest trees.
In northern Minnesota the fear
has been expressed that the forestry
service will insist on appropriating
lands which are capable of settle
ment. Mr.. Cox says that this is not
the intention. s.. t$$:.S5ts
There are approximately $500, 900
acres of state land remaining unsold.
The amount of this unfit for ,agri-
culture has been variously estimated
at from 100000 to 100000 acres.
Only survey such as is planned can
settle this point definitely, and the
many who fought the amendment;
supposing it to place hundreds OF
tillable acres beyond reach, should
be satisfied.

Life Insurance Companies
---- .~ e.. B.
They Are Closely Observing
Public Health Conditions

An examining physician for one
of the prominent Life Insurance
Companies, in an interview on the
subject, made the astonishing state
ment that one reason why so many
applicants for insurance are re-
jected is because kidney trouble is
so common to the American people,
and the large majority of those.
whose applications are declined do
not even suspect that they, have the
disease - r~- x.-l4.@k -
According to this it would seem
that medicine for the kidneys, pos
sessing real healing and curative pro-
perties,, would be blessing to thou
sands.
! 4 DR.. Kilmer & Co, Binghamton, N
" who prepare Dr.. Kilmer's Swamp
Root, the,ewell, known kidney, liver
and bladder remedy, claim that judg-
ing from evidence received from
druggists everywhere, who are con-
stantly in touch with their custom
$ers, and also indisputable proof in
the form ,of grateful testimonial let
ters from thousands of reliable citi-'
zens, this preparation is remarkably
successful in sickness caused by kid
ney and bladder troubles. Every in
teresting statement thew receiye re-
garding Swamp-Root is Investigated
and no testimonial is published un-
less the party who sends it is report
ed of good character. They have on
file many sworn statements of re-
coveries in the most distressing ca
ses. They state that Dr. Kilmer's
Swamp-Root is mild and gentle in its
action and its healing influence is
soon noticed in most cases.
| Swamp-Root is purely an herbal
compound and Dr. Kilmer & Co. ad-
wise all readers who feel in need
of such a remedy to give it trial.
It is on sale at all drug stores in bot
