WHEN IS A BARGAIN?

The Indians, it is said, were the first
men to offer bargain when they
sold the Island Of Manhattan for Z
string OF wampunl. and dealers have
been at it ever since with more OF
less success to themselves and salts,
faction to their customers.
Lately the bargain and the so-called
price cutting merchant" are receiv-
ing a lot of unkind comments. and
some scathing criticism. But it is
our honest opinion that the man who
sells the goods is not so much to
blame for the bargain evil as the
woman who demands the bargain
Here is a piece of fabric that it
cost US actually S. a yard to purchase.
Any other store in the city would
charge S. for it. We could easily get
that ourselves. But we will let you
have it for the bargain price of SI.oS."
That is the way the bargain counter
salesman talks. And although you
haven't the slightest use for the fab
ric still, if you have caught the bar
gain fever, you will buy it.
So people in boarding houses buy
gas stoves, old maids buy baby car
Fiages, bald headed men buy military
brushes and deaf folk buy phono-
graphs. just because they think they
are getting a bargain.
Do you really blame the merchant
for trying to make you think you are
getting things below cost when you
IRE so willing to Fall for" their in
JUDGEMENTS? When a merchant does
cut out the bargain idea and stand
hrdize his prices you reward him by
yoing to the other man who says he
Is giving you something for nothing.
Somehow you don't seem to realize
that if he did really sell goods at
cost he could not long remain in bust
ness.
But there are certain legitimate bar
gains which the current issue of the
Housekeepers' League Magazine de-
ecribes as follows:
"Scason-end sales to close out mer-
Ehandise At sacrifice because OF
changes in style; retailing below the
usual selling price of goods because
he containers have lost some of their
original freshness, or because the
goods are a little shopworn, though
otherwise all right-such sales bene-
bt the consumer and the retailer as
well. The storekeeper makes room for
hew and more attractive goods; and
he housewife economies by buying
but of season, or on account of some
flight deterioration which she knows
will not dctract materially from the
duality OF the merchandise"
And it is OF just this type of real
bargains that the stores are now full
so full in fact that they don't have
10 invent any OF the fake variety to
Tempt you.

4eTe1I Motorists What You Have and
 How Much.''

The possibilities of the motor car in bringing closer together the farm CT and the ultimate consumer are be- ginning to impress themselves on both these great divisions of the American people, according to Claude s. Briggs, president of the Briggs Detroiter company of Detroit. He says:
 Among our dealers in Ohio is g. young farmer, who graduated few years ago from 8. leading agricultural college, spent a season on the road selling gasoline engines. and then settled down on an eighty acre farm a few miles from one of the larger cities, on & road over which hun dreds of motor cars pass every day during the touring months. Motorists frequently stopped at his farm for produce, and gladly paid city retail prices for everything they bought He finally erected a bulletin board in front of his place upon which he quoted prices on products, etc, slightly lower than those charged in the city stores Business developed so rapidly that it soon became neces- sary for him to buy from his neigh bors in order to get produce enough l to supply the demand. Many of his customers made arrangements for
 weekly shipments of butter, eggs, ~essed poultry. etc, and as he is
 rupu1oUSly careIuA Inat ms sSooos re right, every customer he has is salesman for him.
 "A fruit grower near Detroit, fac- ing a loss last fall on account of low
 prices which did not justify shipping
 his fruit in the usual way, put up a bulletin board on his farm offering choice apples at forty cents a. bush
 el. Motorists from Detroit spread i the word among their friends, and
 in the ensuing two weeks, severa l hundred automobiles made the trip t and took away with them nearly ev- cry IbusheI of fruit raised on the i place.

THE AUTO TRUCK
 ON GEODBTTC WORK

An unusual feature of the work | of the United States Coast and Geo. detic Survey, Department of Com merce, during the past summer, was half ton automobile truck in trans porting an astronomical party and | outfit through a portion of the south l west which is generally dreaded by l the transcontinental tourist. The party was In charge of MT. c. V. Hodgson and was in the field from May to October. The trip is the more remarkable when the fact is taken into consideration that the re- quirements of the work prevented al close adherence to the routes usually followed. Observations were fre- quently made on mountain peaks, so the Journey was from mountain to mountain. rather than along main travelled roads from city to city. During the season the truck, carry ing a capacity load, was run more than 5000 miles under road condi- l tons varying from the deep mud en- countered In New Mexico and Texas 1 and the heavy sands of the Colorado river and Nevada desert regions, to the splendid roads of southern and central California.
 On a canyon road in western Texas,
 MT. Hodgson's party and outfit had a narrow escape when a small cloud
 
 l the road into river as the water came rushing down the canyon from the mountains above. There was nc | time to put on chains but ropes were 1 quickly wrapped around the rear l wheels and the truck was run up a 1 steep slope until stalled in the rising T and rushing water. The truck was l then moored to mesquite bushes and the outcome awaited with consider | able anxiety, but the water soon ceas- cd to rise and the danger was past l Had the truck remained where the water first struck it. it would have been almost completely submerged | and probably overturned and damag- ed by the drifting tinlbers.
 1 It was in the desert sands howev- I CT, that the greatest difficulties were encountered, as the truck was fitted with ordinary solid rubber tires (dual behind) which cut in deeply. Many expedfents were tried, but the most successful one was the use of green l poles placed in front of the dual tired rear wheels in as rapid success sion as possible. These poles gave
 traction and kept the wheels from sinking into the sand. The extreme
 heat, often reaching 115 degrees ir
 the shade, made such work very try 1 ing.
 The cost sheets of the season show that the work was done at saving
 or at 4eaSt oo per cent. rom the coS
 had teams been used. The cost pel
 mile for oil and gas varied from 9 I
 cents to 6.6 cents in different sections
 of the country and averaged 3.9 cents
 for the entire season.
 A remarkable feature of the per
 formance of the truck and a tribute
 to the good work of the driver was
 the fact that, from the time of leav-
 ing Colorado Springs to the end o1
 the season. about six months, during
 which the truck was run over 5,0oC
 miles, only two hours were lost or
 the road on account of engine trou-
 b1es.

County Suffrage Conference

A notable gathering of Nindham county sutiragists met Saturday after noon Ut the home of Miss Resamond Banielson at Putnam Heights. The Equal Franchise Leagues of Daniel son, Putnam, Woodstock, Eastford, and WillImnntic were represented also the towns of Thompson, Pomfret and Brooklyn, as well as the Massaehu. setts cities of Worcester and Webster.
 Miss Danielson, who Is Windhsm county chairman of the Connecticut Woman Suffrage Association, called the meeting to order ut 15. The first speaker was Mrs. Edward Porritt of Hartford, press secretary of the c. W. 5. A. She came to the conference in the place of Mrs. Hepburn, the state president, who was detained by ill- ness. Mrs. Porritt outlined the work that can be done for suffrage in Con. necticut in the coming year. The ad- vantages of the formation of local leagues was especially emphasized and Mrs. Porritt closed her address with a plea for an organization in each town in the county.
 The next feature on the program was reports from the Windham coun- ty leagues as follows:
 Danlelson, Mrs. Rienzi Robinson, president.
 Putnam, Mrs. W. J. Bartlett, presi. dent.
 Woodstock, Mrs. F. F. Rockwell spoke in the absence of the president, Mrs. J. k. Sheppard.
 Eastford, Mrs. II. II. Converse, pres ident.
 Wilimantic, Miss Abbie O'Connor, vice. president.
 An informal discussion followed in which plans were made for at least one meeting during the summer in each town in the county.
 Miss Camilla Whitcomb, chairman of southern Worcester county, spoke briefly of the campaign that is being carried on in Massachusetts where the suffrage question will be before the yo- ters in November. Miss Frances NJ. BirtweIl who is engaged in organiza- ton work in Webster, gave an account of the methods by which the Massa- ehusetts association is making "A can vass of every voter in the state. She also told of ways in which the Connec- ticut workers can help the Massachu- setts women and expressed much pleasure At the offers of assistance which she received from Windham county.
 At the close of the meeting refresh- ments were served. "Sufirsge signals" badges of purple, white and green, were given as souvenirs. The scheme Of decoration in suffrage coIors was carried out in large bouquets of purple aud lwhite iris with masses of green foliage.

Sawyer District School Situation
Matter Taken Up With County Officials

An important meeting between the County Commissioners, Messrs. Hall, Corttis and Dady, Superintendent of the Windham County Temporary Home D. C. Park, the matfon, Mrs Park; and Charles l.. Torrey and E. H Johnson, q committee of the town school board, was held in MT. Torrey's office Monday morning.
 The meeting was in reference to school conditions in the Sawyer Dist rict where the County Home is locat- ed. The school board find that there are only ten or twelve pupils in the Sawyer District school that come from outside the Home while there are from seventy to eighty-tive pupils that attend from the Home. By the arrangement entered into some stime ago with the county commissioners, which agreement is still in effect, it is found that for the last three years it has cost the county but from S4 to SS per capita per year for the Home chil- dren and that the town has had to stand the balance of the expense which has made cost of from $40 to S63 per capita per annum fontheipupils outside of the Home. The contract which is now in force was made some eighteen or twenty years ago when the number of children in the Home was much smaller than at the present time.
 The school board feel that 1t would be cheaper 10 close the Sawyer District school and transport the children whose homes are in the town to some other school than to maintain the school under the present arrangement. 1t is felt that sthe town should not carry this burden of expense for edu- eating children from all parts of the county who become inmates of the Temporary Home. It was for the pur- pose of putting the matter before the commissioners that the meeting was asked for and held.
 While the matter was discussed at length the commissioners wished time to consider the situation so no definite plans were formulated or action taken and the matter is held open for fur ther consideration and discussion at a future day.

PUTNAM, CONN., FRIDAY, JUNE ls 1913
STATE CONTROL
Continued in Domestic Science Depart
 ment of High School
Teachers and Physical Instructor Hired

An important speeial meeting of the town school committee was held We'd nesday evening at which was present F. ]. Trinder, assistant superintendent of the State Board of Education and superintendent of State Trade schools. The meeting was to discuss the advis. ability of the town taking over the do. nestle science department, especially the cooking department, from the state as it has been considered that the town would then have more to say as to the aims and methods to be used
 Mir. Trinder met all of the commit tee, except c. A. Hammond, who has been unable to attend the board meet- ings for some time on account of il health. The discussion lasted over two hours during winch time MT. Tnnder explained the methods and aims of the State Board Tn the department under consideration and answered the ques- tions propounded by members of the committee. At the conclusion of the discussion 1t was voted unanimously that the school committee of the town of Putnam heartily approve the aims and methods of the State Board of Ed ucation, as explained by Mir. Trinder, regarding the sewing and cooking branches of the domestic science dep arlment in the co operative course in the high school and trade school of Putnam. MT. Trinder further sta- ted .that the domestic science depart. ment of lthe Putnam school had cost the state over Sil00 and would cost more next year. It will be remember ed that the sewing teacher, who di- vides her time with the cooking teach CT, has been connected with the de- partment only a small fraction of the year, otherwise the expense for the de- pertinent for the past year would have been much greater. To broaden the usefulness of the cooking department MT. Trinder said that he would have classes afternoons and would continue this department If possible through the month Of July. The domestic sci enea department therefore will remain under state control to considerable saving to the town.
 The board rendered Miss Edna Chap delaine the position of. physical instruc- tor in the schools at a salary of 5000 for 40 weeks. This will make 1t possible fir all the pupils of all the schools to receive regular instruction in physical science. It is well remem bered that years ago dumb bells and Indian clubs were used in the schools for periodical exercise and it was conducive to better work and clearer heads.
 The board elected Miss Natalie Dion assistant Kindergarten teacher at a sal- ary of S304. Messrs. Challoner and Packard were reelected as teach. CTS in the High school for a term of 90 50 weeks, their salaries to be $500 and | S1200 respectively.
