Restoring Great New England Industry

The efforts which the Boston Cham Der of Commerce, through sits Com. mittee ion Agriculture, are putting forth with view to re-establishing on a proper basis the dairy business in the New England states merit hearty ap- pFoval. The ends In view, while pri- mafily commercial, have vital bear- ing onIthe future Of New England. All engaged in any form Of ministration to the moral and spiritual life ,of the nearly seven million persons who com pose the population of New England should take note of this unusual inves- tigation and the practical suggestions accompanying It.
 Subtract from any community the industry on which many of it's inhabi- tants have depended as the chief source of their subsistence,or make the conditions of it's maintenance so com plicated, irritating and unsatisfactory as to remove from the producer all joy and incentive in labor, and you cut a nerve that feeds not only the physical, but the higher life of that community But this Is just what has been happen. ing during the last fifteen years in the case Of hundreds of villages and towns throughout central and southern New hngland. Formerly they were the puryeyofs Of milk for all the Iarge eit- ies. Ths farmers who produced is were the substantial and respected cit- izens Of their respective communities, But war after war betweea producer and dealer, legislative restrictions not always based on impartial consideFa- ton of all the facts involved, the lack of cooperation between farmefs,and m seme cases the arbitrary fuliag ol health officials, have driven eighty per cent. Of the milk supply lof metfopoIi- ! tan Boston, for example, away from the ,communities within . radius of 100 miles which used to furnish is, % Maine, Northern New Hnmpshiie, Yer

VALUABLE LECTURE
4 Good Number Hear Dr.. North and Lawyer Weyburn Sunday Evening
The Milk Situation Ia New England
 Discussed

Through the iustrumentality of James Il. Cutler, people of Putnam and surrounding towns were given the opportunity 10 hear two able speakers talk on the milk situation ia New En- gland, Sun day night, at the Bradley theatre, The program was tn charge of the Putnam Chamber of Commerce.
 Some time ago the Boston chamter oi Commerce, through it's Agricultural eommittee, started an investigation of the milk industryof New Engpnd with with view to establish proper basis fat this great and valuable industry. The Boston Chamber of Commerce is- sued its report which has received high praise from many sources. The meeting Sunday night Is similar to other meetings already held In further ance of this important project. It's purpose Is to senlighlen the general public on some of the problems to be solved.
 The meeting was called to order by C. $. Andena, president of the Putnam Chamber of Commerce who introduced Mir. Cutler. Mir. lCutler outlined the work being done and introduced Att torney Lyon .Weyburn, attorney for the Boston Chamber of Commerce, in the conduct of the recent surveys of the situation. MT. Weyburn was fol- lowed by Dr. Charles k. North, New York eily's famous expert on health and sanitation.
 Both men devoted their time to tet- ling of The work being done and the re- suits that 1t k hoped to accomplish. A stereopltcon was used to illustrate diff ferent matters under discussion. The plan as a whole is 10 try 10 induce the producers to deliver pure wholesome article anh to devise means whereby they will be paid for the extra labor anI expense enlailed to reach the de- sired efficiency To have plnn where by the producer of satisfactory arti- cle will not come in competition with the producer of m inferior article but will receive more for his product than will his less efficient competitor.
 During the evening there were vocal solos by Miss Viola Faueher 4of North Grosvenordnle and Wallace Smith of Putnam. Both were in good voice and their numbers were well received.
 No better idea lcan be given of the plans afoot for better milk and dairy products, produced at n fair profit to the farmer, and the great work the Boston Chamber of Commerce has un- dertaken for the betterment of condi- tions in New England, than Is set forth in the following editorial that appeared in the current Issue of the Congregationalist and Christian World.

Stole Billy. Arrested for Carrying
 Concealed Weapons

Jim Friery lis in jail He stole billy to knock lem silly, and thereby hangs ia tale. Jim is we'll known character. Especially is he well known to police court judges and officials con cerned in preserving the peace in eastern Connecticut. Jim is at stimes possessed with thirst. In fact when he Is not working for the county for his keep he is playing with old King alcohol and sooner or later gets into trouble. When the corn juice gets the upper hand Jim believes he is bad man and is out on the trail of criminals who should be brought 10 justice. Jim got inio. trouble in Put nam some months ago and WAS invited by the police to consider Putnam hot ter than the lower regions and to give it just as wide a berth as he would that place if the choice was up to him. He came back here on business, he said, a week or so ago and before leav ing town went to the home of Deputy Sheriff Holbrook on one of his phony criminal matters. The sheriff was not in and while a woman in the room turned her back Jim made a move. When the sheriff returned he found that his billy was missing. Jim was at once suspected but had disappeared.
 The sequel: Jim paid visit to Will limantic shortly after he visited Put nam. While in the thread city he still pursued imigantry fugitives from Justice and when he threatened a man with his newly acquired billy he was arrested. Jim is now back at work for the county and will eat Thanks giving dinner and hang up his stoe k- ing on Christmas eve in cell 23 or some other. The billy is back in the pos session of the deputy sheriff.

THANKSGIVING DAY
Citizens of Putnam Have Cause to Feel
 Grateful for Years Blessings
Health, Morals, Business Conditions Have
 Been Excellent

Today, Thursday, is Thanksgiving
 day. Looking back at the year that
 is past our citizens may find many
 things to be thankful for. We have
 enjoyed better conditions phy ysically,
 morally, eivieally and businesswise
 than many of our sister cities in New
 England.
 First of all we may rejoice with the
 country nt large that we have been
 keptifrom the turmoil of war. We may
 find cause for thanks with our sister cities in New England states that there have been no ealamities in our midst, i, 0 floods, fires or other outbreaks to cause large loss Of life or property. We may rejoice with the sister cities Of the state that our industries have pros pefed, our mills have run steadily and work has been plenty for the wage earner. Locally we may be thankful that we have not had any labor tron- bles or disturbances to mar this pros perity.
 Putnam has had prosperous year. It's mills have had plenty of orders, giving employment to it's thousands of workers. This has resulted in good business for the merchants and all share in the. general prosperity. The farmer has had some setbac ks in grow ling and harvesting his crops. Some are not as abundant as in former |years. But there is plenty, and with the wherewithaI to purchase necessa9 |ries there will be no suffering in this community from lack of food, cleth- ling. or other essentials. As uhe court records will bear evidence the city has been unusually free from crime. There have been no serious epidemics Of dis ease. The city,has taken many steps forward in various lines of progress New industries have come here. Old Industries have increased the capacity (of their outputs and the future looks |bnght. If one stops to anaiyze the many blessings, large and small, that fhave come to us the pastyear each will Eeel that it is something to be thank ful for that he is living in city such 1as Putnam.
