FIRE AT GRASSY LICK

The Odd Fellows building at
Grassy Lick, this county, occupied
by the Mason Mercantile Co., was
totally destroyed by fire about nine
O'Clock last Tuesday night, entailing
a loss of about $1,000. The fire is
supposed to have originated from a
defective hue. The Mason Company
carried $4,000 insurance on their
goods but the paraphanaia of the
Odd Fellows, which was also des-
troyed, was not covered by insur-
ance.

CARRYING MAIL
BY AERoPLAnE

The aeroplane just now is having
its uses in war and ultimately it
will have it's even more valuable
uses in peace.
In a public address recently de
livered the Second Assistant Pot
master General made the prediction
that Congress at it's next session
would authorize the use of an aer-
ial auxiliary for carrying the mails
and that within two or three years
postal aviators would excite no
more curiosity than do the railway
nail clerks Of today.
AS machine for the transporta-
ton Of the mails there seems little
'eason to doubt the practicabiity
If the aeroplane. At present the
aeroplanes in the United States
have been used mainly for exhibi-
ton purposes. Much progress has
been made since the Wright broth
ers began their experiments with
their crude invention. The aero
>lane Of today is manageable to
a marked degree. Already it is
looked upon by military experts as
indispensable to war operations. In
time it will be regarded as equally
essential for other purposes.
The aeroplane Is in its infancy.
improvements will be made which
will add to it's serviceability and
its dependability. AS medium fol
carrying the mail with celebrity il
has manifest advantages over the
existing methods. The one objec-
ton that seems weighty is its help
lessness under certain adverse con-
ditions, but all the affairs Of earth
are affected by the weather. One
weak point will not avail against
many strong points. The prediction
of the Second Assistant Postmas-
ter General is by no means chimeri-

Why HAVE GOOD ROADS

There are an abundance Of rea-
sons why we should have good
roads, even under normal condi-
tons.
But there are urgent reasons why
we should have them this year,
when conditions are expected to far
surpass even those Of normal.
Our roads must be in condition
for prompt harvesting Of the great
crops Of which the world is de-
handing Of America this year.
Experts in all lines of business
predict that 1915 will be the most
prosperous year in the history Of
the United States.
President Wilson has publicly
warned the farmers of the country
hat the task Of feeding the world
ill soon devolve upon us, and he
urges us to utilize every ounce Of
mercy and every foot Of ground,
hat the supply may be equal to the
tremendous demand for food.
Europe today in reproductive,
ct the people Of those countries
aust be fed. They must not starve.
md America is the only nation that
is equal to the gigantic task.
And because this herculean task
Ills upon the American farmer, it
is imperative that no act Of ours be
left undone that may be productive
f greater or swifter results.
And herein lies the value of good
country roads.
Tremendous crops may be grown,
and harvested, but they must be
marketed in record time this year.
And without good roads this can
not be done.
The time is opportune for the
people of this community to take
up this matter and see that prompt
measures are taken to insure the
best Of roads in the country dis
tricts before the time is at hand
for the moving Of the great crops
we are asked to produce.
Horses and mules must draw this
produce to the shipping points, and
this is a matter requiring both time
and animal energy.
An animal possesses only a GER
tain amount Of energy, beyond
which it may not be taxed, and
when that energy is exhausted it
ceases to be of the greatest value
to lis owner, and future movements
are retarded because Of lis lost vi
taity.
If country roads are placed in
the best possible condition during
the spring and summer months, the
fall movements Of crops will be ac-
complished with greater ease and
less expense than heretofore. And
every hour Of time will be needed
This fall if the farmers heed the call
# the world and the warning Of
our president.
Let us be cup and doing" here,
hat we may contribute beautifully
If our substance when humanity
.urns to US for bread.

TOO MUCH WORK.
Spinners at Dayviffe WOODEN Mill
Walk Out


Spinners employed at the Assawau-
ga Wooden company's plant in Day
willie walked out Thursday noon and
did not return to work during the
day. Their grievance, it Is stated, is
that they have too much work. not a.
common complaint in New England
this spring. The plant has been very
busy for months past and spinners
have been working five nights each
week and sometimes Saturday after
Moons. They have been paid extra.
money for the extra time, but object
to getting in such long hours About
a score of the spinners left their work
nearly the total of that craft employed
there. It is expected that the difficulty
will be quickly and satisfactorily adj
justed.

Considering Ways and Means.
Members of the fire department con-
tinue to give considerable time and
thought to the proposition of raising
the several hundred dollars required to
meet the expense of having the annu-
al convention of the State Firenen's
association held here this summer.
Various ways and means are being
considered and if some of the plans
can be put into effect, with the en-
dorsement OF the common council,
there is very good prospects of getting
the convention with the accruing adj
vantages, including much valuable ad-
vertising for Putnam.
Plans For City Advertising. ;
Members of the Putnam Business
Mems association have plans for uti-

today know that it is needless to have
a bad stomach. A little Diapepsin oc-
casionally keeps the stomach regulated
and they eat their favorite foods with

If your. stomach doesn't take care

if your food is a damage instead of a
help, remember the quickest, surest,
most harmless relief is Pape's Diapep-
sin, which costs only fifty cents for a
