Cradit.

Credit is an estimate OF your capac-
ity to worry about paying your bills
which Is held about you by a lot of
total strangers Credit Is also a belief
held Of your ability to pay for some
thing long after you have ceased to de-
rive any benefit from it. Credit Is like
wise a gauge of your willingness to
deceive yourself into the belief that
you can afford to buy something be-
cause you cannot pay cash for it If
everybody paid cash there would be
no bond issue, no huge clerical forces,
no national debts, no armies or mill.
tary systems, no schools such as exist
today, no war, no degenerate fashions
nothing but plain, everyday living.
Credit enables everybody to live fic-
tidous existence. Nothing exceeds like
credit-Ldfe.

THE JIINEY

Under the title. "The Jit- ney," the following rhyme appears in the Goodyear Tire News, which illustrates the popularity of these ve- hicles, in a rather amusing way:
 The festive jitney gaily glides, providing cut-rate au- to rides and cheats the un- dertakers; while folks throw out their liver pills and dope for other bad-air ills and break the cure all fakers. For air at thirty miles an hour forced in our lungs by engine power beats all the blamed physicians. Good ozone plus a jitney bus may make the railway magnates cusS but heals our dispositions. The family dons it's opera wraps, disdains to hang on street car straps and signals for a motor. When mother goes to do her shopping street cars pass her without stop ping; jitney drivers tote her. The kiddies visit movies now piled in some wheezy motor scoW, their hearts agloW with pleasure, while father lights q big cigar, steps in a pass ing jitney car and goes to lunch at leisure. The funny papers turn their wit upon the pleasure giving jit, to help fill up a "colyum"; but jokesters write their funny rhymes and still dig up their unspent dimes to swell the jitney's volume. The traffic cop, whose stately arm once shielded passing folks from harm, is driven nearly fran tic and wishes with a sultry oath that jitney cars and drivers both were deep in the Atlantic. Directors of street railway lines advise the use of heavy fines and gasp in consternation when MT. Com mon People seems quite sa- tisfied with gas machines for rapid transportation. "The World Do Move" a poet said. the world has moved. the poets dead. but let's not be surprised if coming back, when Gabriel blows, we find the worlds wiped out it's woes by being jitneyized.

CENTRAL BLOCK FIRE.
Investigated by State PoIiee-Orisin a
 Mystery.

While in this city Tuesday in con- nection with another matter State Policemen Downing and Bridgeman made an inspection of the Central block, where the fire of the night be- fore occurred. They gave out no statement after looking the building over thoroughly.
 The origin of the fire remains a mystery. I. l.. Dragon, who has a tailoring establishment on the second floor said Tuesday that there was no smoke nor fire when he left the build ing Monday night at 10 o'clock, he locking the hallway door as he passed out.
 Harry Leverson, proprietor of the Putnam Clothing company said that everything about his place of business was all right when he left there be- tween 10 and II o'clock. He had been in the store for a time before going home. He was not awakened by the fire alarm and was only aroused when a member of the fire department went to his rooming place.
 Most of the places in the Central block were doin1 business as usual Tuesday. Some of the stocks were more or less damaged, but not in a degree to cause very heavy losses.

In view of 1.-the fact that the bond, given by the .Globe Indemnity Company at the time sshe assumed the contract was for one sfhousand dollars only, the committee In charge informed the holder of the Tprfvilege that he could have no more
 ice until the indebtedness was settled. < The indemnity company has been notified of the situation, and has the
 right of continuing the contract, if it lsees fit. Their determination is not yet known. At least one other party Ihas asked for the privilege, but of ] course nothing can be done until it is

It is the teachers place to supply correct forms of for the child to initiate The child in turn should accustom him. self or herself to express ideas cor rectiy- Opportunity should be given for plenty of practice. Correct lang uage Is largely a result of right habits of speech.
 The teacher should be careful to select the right subject matter. She should select those things which the children will use"
 As important things for oral lang uage Miss Gaines mentioned the fol- lowing. The child should acquire a vocabulary which will permit of some variety and choice of words. There should be oral practice in narratives, descriptions, and expositions. Correct form drills should be used Conver- satton lessons. singing and elocution are helpful exercises"
 For written work she advocated dic- tation lessons, letter writing, both friendly and business, copying good literature especially in the first grade. ana business forms correctly.

COUNTY TO PAY s55o
Toward Maintenance of Sawyer Dis trict School, Attended by County Home Children.


 The matter of having the county bear a share of the expense of meeting the maintenance cost of the Sawyer dis trict school, which heretofore has been borne by the town of Putnam, has been adjusted in a manner satisfactory to the members of the town school com mittee. This school. which is attend ed by all the children of school age at the county home, they being represents ative of about every town in the coun- ty, has been maintained at the expense of the town of Putnam at an annual town, of course, has had the $2.25 per pupil allowed by the state. It has been felt that the expense was too much to ask this town to stand, so the matter was taken up with the county commissioners some time ago.
 The result of the conferences that have taken place on the subject and the basis of settlement resulting is shown by the following vote of the school committed:
 At a regular meeting of the school committee of the town of Putnam, held 1915. at T.30 o'clock in the evening, it was
 Voted, That the school committee of the town of Putnam accept the offer of the county commissioners as made through County Commissioner John A. Dady that the county of Windham pay the town of Putnam yearly the sum of five hundred and fifty dollars (s550) toward the support and maintenance of the Sawyer district school, so called, in the town of Putnam, in lieu of the amount now paid for said purpose by said county to said town, and the chairman and secretary of this com mittee are hereby authorized to exc cute and sign any papers necessary and proper as evidence of the making of said agreement
