FLiMFLAM GAME
Played by Sharpers in Central Village
and Danielson.

Facts developed within the last 4s
hours, when pieced together. indicate
that Central Village and Danielson and
the Lord only knows how many other
places in this vicinity had a week end
visit from some clever opponents o. the
threadbare f1imflam game.
There were three Of the men, travel
ing in an automobile that bore a Mas
sacnusetts registration plate. At one
Of the best known business places in
Central Village they worked the old
racket of making small purchase, one
of the men rendering a $40 bill in pay
ment. Having received his change of
$19 and the odd cents. the man seemed
surprised to discover that he had given
the clerk a $40 bill and asked that it
be returned to him and the price OF the
article purchased taken out of a dollar
time handing back what was supposed
to be the amount given him in change
for the $40; but. of course, some of it
had been cleverly slipped out. At Cen
trail the confidence men got away with
SIC.
A message telephoned to Chief Pill
ing resulted in that officer's getting in
touch with the men here. They at first
denied having been in Central, but I'M
der pressure they 'fessed up and one of
them came across with the $40 and
handed it over to Chief Pilling. who
later returned it to the owner. They
also offered him dollar bonus as they
found they were allowed to depart, but
this was refused.
Since then it has been learned that
the men were active here. but how
much they got is not known. The loss
at Central was promptly discovered,
which accounts for the quick recovery
Of the amount short.
There is also evidence that they op-
Grated in other villages in this section
and no doubt enjoyed their afternoon
Of favorite but ancient indoor sport
that always is q good dividend payer in

TRADE SCHOOL BUILDING.
To BE Discussed at Meeting of Cham
Der of Commerce Thursday Evening
More Room Needed.

The monthly meeting of Putnam
Chamber of Commerce Thursday eve
ming will be held at o'clock at Odd
Fellows hall. and will take up the
question of the State Trade school
here. 1t has come to the attention
Of the Chamber that the school as it
is now is doing a very good work,
but is badly handicapped In its pos
sibilfties for growth. The present
hired building is crowded in some de-
which ought to be of the greatest in
terest to Putnam. where so many
make their living in the mills, can
not install the machinery necessary to
give a complete course, as the con-
struction is not heavy enough to bear
courses yet it is in this respect that
other textile schools render their
greatest service to the community
Men who work all day at their trade,
and come to school In the evening
make the most earnest students In
the textile schools of Massachusetts,
such pupils outnumberfthe day schol-
ars sometimes fourteen to one. And
the records show that men of this
sort occupyg large percentage of the
responsible positions in the towns
concerned
The state Of Connecticut stands
ready to make this school far more
efficient, and in so doing to spend large
sums of money, if the town will do
it's share. To erect a suitable build
ing, at an estimated cost OF SIS, 900, is
what is asked. In that event, tho
state will maintain the electric, wood
working and machinist departments as
at present, with more machinery as
needed, and will add thousands of dol
lars worth OF textile equipment, and
open evening classes. Other towns
bear the cost of heat, light. power,
janitor and Waterman service, and
sometimes even pay part OF the oper-
