 There is special interest in Putnam in the action taken by the legislature in rejecting the bill providing that poses in other towns by municipalities be subject to taxation. Putnam owns such property in the neighboring town of Woodstock and would be subject to a tax amounting to a considerable sum were the bill to become law.
 Want Men of Small Towns to Join.
 It seems probable that considerable work will be done from this city in carrying out a plan evolved by the Eastern Connecticut Development committee in which this city is rep resented, in extending organization among business men in the smaller towns and villages in this part of the state. All these smaller tplaces have number of active and hust1ing men of affairs and 1t will be to the benefit Of all concerned to have them iden- tified with the business mems organ fzations that are doing a great deal to develop this section.
 A Worcester paper of Thursday noted that the Connecticut marriage law, as framed by the legislature of this state at this session, retains the five days notice clause applying to on-resident couples who would come into this state to marry. Scores of couples came to Putnam from Wor- cester county towns to have the nup-
 tial knot tied previous to the mar riage law that became effective in 1913. Not a few of them have come since, but their number has been greatly reduced.
 Park to Open the 3oth. Wildwood park is to be open for the first time this season on Memorial
 day, but the regular season will not open until June. Who is to have
 charge of the privileges at the park, held for a number of years by w. E. LabeIle of DayviIle, has not been announced, but it is understood that there is considerable interest in the matter in this city.
 Nothing About Federal Building. It is not probable, it is now said
 here, that there will be anything done about Putnam's federal post office 1 building during 1915. After congress reconvenes in December the matter will again be taken up, it is under stood and every effort made to solve the problem of securing a site that will be popular and arranging such other details as have heretofore de- layed any actual building work.

When the time comes for a big move the whole army will be experienced soldiers, with tried nerves and used to the methods of fighting and taking orders under fire, as well as to the artillery, which, I take it, is the worst thing of all to get accustomed to.

 Farmers are again complaining over the low price they are receiving for milk that goes into the Boston mar ket.

son. There was a large audience and Mrs. Bartlett's fine address was very cordially received. As president of the Putnam Equal Franchise league this was very interesting to Mrs. Bartlett in view of the fact that the national grange has endorsed woman suffrage, although the endorsement of it by sub- ordinate granges is entirely in, their own hands. Refreshments were served at the meeting, which was a splendid one. On May 18th Mrs. Bartlett is to speak at East Woodstock in re- sponse to an invitation from the Com munity club, a mems organization that is doing good work.
 At the Senexet grange meeting Mrs. Bartlett said: In every farming dis trict, as we'll as in the cities. the wo- men are putting their shoulder to the wheel. The farmers wife is his part ner in his burdens. profits, losses and in many other ways. Why shouldn't t she be in his privileges? The national grange has declared emphatically and unanimously for equal suffrage.
