Farce Entertained Good Sized Audience
Adds s4s to Fund for windham Hall

The hall at the Putnam High school
was well filed Saturday evening TO
witness the production of the three act
farce, "The Time of His Life" ipresen-
ted by Norwich cast. Among the
audience were people from Thompson,
Pomfret and Woodstock.
The production was given to increase
the fund for Windham Hall, dormi-
tory for the Connecticut College for
Women at New London. The farce
was finely presented by nine young
people from Norwich who demonstra-
ted their interest in the project by gen.
erously offering to give the play here
after having twice presented IL In Nor
wich. All of the parts were well TAX
en- and the amateurs showed more
than average skill for those outside
the professional ranks. While all
were well cast perhaps especial men,
ton should be made of William h.
Perry, whose portrayal OF the lead,
Tom Garter gave him excellent oppor-
tunities which he happily embraced.
The affair netted $40. The prize Of
fered to the pupil selling the most
tickets was won by William Walsh of
the Sth grade. To members OF the
cast, to Miss Rosamond Danielson, the
county secretary and treasurer, who
served as chairman Of the entertain
ment, TO the High school orchestra,
and to all Others who assisted in max
ing the evening success the Putnam
committee extend their hearty thanks.

HUMANE SOCIETY
BE Kind to Animals week"
May II to Y, 1915

The object of this observance is 10 Sc
cure one Sunday in the year to be set
apart for special services calling at
tention to the need for protection for
suffering and helpless children, and
also unfortunate animals; the same is
to be supplemented by week of speei.
al observanees designed to advance the
cause of animal protection and univer-
sal kindness. The American Humane
Association has approved of the plan
that the Be Kind To Animals Week
shall preeede Humane sunday, which
would thus become the climax of this
humane celebration each year.
In order that Humane Sunday shall
be generally observed ii is necessary to
secure the cooperation of clergymen of
all denominations. While the date for
the general observance has been select
ed for May %, 1915, and that this sun
day shall be preceded by week de-
voted TO kindness To ANIMALS, these
dates are not inflexibly fixed, but may
be changed to suit local conditions or
the convenience of different religious
denominations.
rhe American Humane Association,
Albany, n. y, will furnish a four
page leatiet explaining the subject to
clergymen, on condition that each
leaflet shall &c delivered with either a
personal letter or during personal In
terview with the elergymen. 1t will
also agree TO send to all clergymen, who
may personally write and request the
same, leaflets containing suggestions
In regard to Humane Sunday observ-
ance, with extracts from sermons
which have been given in behalf of
kindness to our defenseless and help
less clients.
1t is suggested that observance of
"Be kind TO animals week. May II TO
%, 1915, shall include special services
in schools of every description, public
ad dresses, and the preparation of essays
AMI newspaper articles by school chill
dren, and others, devoted TO the SUBJ
ject of kindness TO animals and the re-
cita of incidents showing their intelh-
gence and loyal service. 1t would also
be we'll to have exhibitions devoted To
horses, dogs and cats, or other domes-
tic animals; also work horse parades
and similar functions. IL is needless
to say that the subject of our duty 10
wild animals and their proper protec-
ton should also be given special atten.
ton.
The national chairman of this move
ment is Mrs. Mary f, Lowell, 2l5 Sum-
nit Avenue, Jenkintown, Pa; and the
national secretary, Guy Richardson,
Fenway Station, Boston.

the situation of the dairyman here
abouts, who can only get his milk TO
the Boston market by selling 1t to the
company that operates a leased car,
and buys at a price too low TO give the
farmer fair profit. The matter was
referred to the executive committee; as
1t was felt that anything that affected
the prosperity of the farmer was of d.
rect concern TO the business man who
wants his trade. Some iof the officers
have given this matter attention, and
are of the opinion that the present con.
dition is unfair. The railroad authori-
ties have shown disposition TO take
the matter up fairly. This question is
of the farms in this region are run
down, and dairying is the best way TO
build up the land again.

older team only won out by margin
of one run, the final score being IL. Il

Most, If not all, Of the scoring was
the result of errors when the players
went up in the air filling bases and
then clouting the ball. Except for
these periodical breaks the game wen
along smoothly with good article OF
ball displayed. The school team
should feel perfectly satisfied with the
showing they made against the vet

Both Dubois and Blackmofe had
good control and steam and but few
