Investigating Compensation Insurance
For County Employees

The County Commissioners have
given considerable attention of late to
the matter of protecting employees OF
the county with compensation insur-
ance and II is possible that a blanket
policy covering all such will be taken
out.
1t Is understood that the matter has
been taken up with representatives or
insurance companies and that tenta-
tive forms of policies will be submit
ted to the commissioners for inspection.
IL has been something of PROPOSE
ton to ascertain TO just what extent
the county should go 10 providing such
protection as il is felt is needed In the
way OF compensation insurance, and
one of the questions Of special interest
is whether or not such policy should
cover prisoners who are let out from
the county jail TO do various kinds OF
work, as opportunity offers. This and
other points will receive the proper
legal consideration before any definite
action Is taken.

Putnam In The Lime Light

Several years ago Putnam received a
little publicity through the fact that
our local jeweer had received "A ten
dollar gold Prize for one of the best
window displays Of the we'll known
Simmons Watch Chains. IL may pos
siby be the case that Putnam will be
henrd from again owing to the fact
that Mr. Shaw has entered the con-
test for cash prizes Offered for window
displays by the Rice Leaders Of the
World association.
This week he has display Of line
Crane stationery and next week the
celebrated Hun silk umbrellas will be
exhibited. Both Of these lines OF goods
are made by members OF the Assocla-
ton SO that they are eligible for prize
displays.
As Mr.. Shaw's store has always been
more or less noted for it's attractive
window displays IL Is hoped that he
may succeed In securing, for Putnam,
one of the many prizes offered.

don. The proceeds will be used to in.
crease the fund being raised for a
Windham county dormitory. The la
dies of Mindham county have inter
ested themselves in the project and
have taken this as one of the means to
raise money.
The Putnam committee appointed
to obtain funds for this worthy object
consists of the folio wing members:
NJ rs. j. b. Kent, Mrs. w. l.. Beard,
Miss Clar Ike, Mrs. f. j. Daniels, Mrs.
w. F. Rafferty,, Mrs. F. f. Russell,
Mrs. E. b. Kent, Miss Stubhert, Mrs.
d. b. Gilbert, Misses Sargent, Whee-
lock and Danielson.
There are nine people in the cast and
it has been presented in Norwich twice
with great success. The play has an
interesting plot and furnishes much
amusement.
Mrs. Grey's husband, Bob, has gone
west on n business trip and in the
meantime Tom Carter, Grey's brother
in.law, is staying with his sister TO
keep her company while her husband
is away. Mrs. Grey lets her old col
ored butler, Uncle Tom, go off to a
coon cakewalk and just after doing SO
learns from letter that some friends,
Mr.. and Mrs. Wycombe, a very fussy
old pair, are going TO drop in for sup
per. 1t is almost supper time when
the note is received and Mrs. Grey is
all upset because she has no supper
ready and no one to serve it. Tom
Immediately suggests taking the Wy
com5es out to dinner somewhere but
that's impossible for the fussy Mr..
Wycombe never eats restaurant cook
ing. Finally Tom plans scheme for
dinner sent over from an apartment
hotel around the corner and he blacks
up as old Uncle Tom and is TO serve
the meal. The guests arrive with
their niece, Dorothy Landon, who un-
expectedly comes with them, and she
is secretly engaged to Tom Carter.
When Tom discovers her presence, he
is about ready to give up the whole
affair, but finally consents to carry it
through on the condition that Mrs.
Grey tells Dorothy all about it and
they plan to make a regular lark of it.
The real Uncle Tom subsequently re.
turns and the resulting complications
are very ludicrous.
Tickets are 30 cents for reserved
seats, 30 cents, and pupils tickets for
25 cents; now on sale at schools and
Shaw's store.

INTERESTING
ADDRESS
L. NJ. CrandaII Talks to Business Mems
Association
Matters Taken Up At Business Meeting

Louis NJ. Crandall, owner and prin.
cIpal of the Norwich Business School,
gave an address ON craftsmanship and
Business Efficiency before the Putnam
Business Mems Association, in Owls
hall, Friday evening. The address
WAS an excellent one, full of instrue-
tive ideas and inspiration for greater
and more intelligent effort. Ii is TO be
deplored that there was not larger
number present. a few of the sales
ladies in our stores took the opportuni-
W to hear the address. At the close
Mr. Crandall was given rising vote
of thankss
The talk was a business one from
start TO finish. 1t was for the most
part an analyzing of the attributes of
good salesman and of craftsmanship
methods. The speaker illustrated his
remarks with blackboard diagrams.
The features of positive and negative
thought and of positive and negative
suggestion to the prospect were clearly
brought out showing that negative
thought kept the salesman from max
ing progress and negative suggestion
spoiled many sale. The analysis
was SO absolutely convincing that it
left its Impression on the mind of each
one present and put craftsmanship and
business efficiency as science in q
new light Mr.. Crandall plainly
showed that he has spent hours and
hours upon his subject and, although
he maintains he still has much to
learn, is a master mind in its theory,
and that he is also practical in It's APP
pication his large business interest
in Norwich is proof positive.
Following the address the business
matters were taken up. +. +. Russell,
George f. Shaw and John q. johnson
were appointed committee on nomi-
nation of officers and an executive
committee aud are TO report their NOM
nations at the annual meeting on
Nay 7th AT the same time they will
also report on nomination of Il COM
mittee of three business men to have
charge of all problems which arise eff
fecting business mems interests.
1t was voted TO recognize May 10th
to 10Th inclusive as Clean. Up Week
Owing to the lateness of the season it
was decided that il was inadvisabIe to
formulate any such elaborate plans as
were executed two years ago but cifcu-
lars will be printed in three languages
urging property owners to clean up all
unsightly places and If the request is
not compiled With the fire marshall
and board of health will be notified.
Thirty members of the association
were dropped for non payment of dues
and three new members were voted in.
The total membership is now ll3.
Owing to the lateness of the hour the
matter of permanently improving
Union Square was allowed to go over
10 the annual meeting.

good article of the national pastime.
There has been a lot OF hard work done
TO start OIL team this year and in

needed. The only way Tor those that
have urged return Of the sport to
make good Is to be there when the

Donations of flowers, fruit, vege-
tables, current literature, old linen and
money are always gratefully received.
No better evidence Of the usefulness
of the "Hospital on the hill'' is needed
than the fact of its steady, continuous
growth.

Hospital Notes
There are two beds in our Child S
Room now; still we cannot accommo.
date all our children there and have TO
care for them in the adult wards.
Our next addition ought to be chill
dren's ward. The ehild's free bed
fund is now S515.2s. 1t must reach
5000 before it will support free bed.
We have four free beds, which pro-
vide 1860 days care. Last year we
gave 1880 free days service to needy
people. But for the continued support
of the community we cannot hope TO
carry on this great work.
Remember this when the Hospital
Sunday collection is taken at your
church or when you are asked to help
with Thanksgiving donations.
The Good Cheer club OF Woodstock
folds 1000 gauze sponges each Satur-
day.
A short time ago we appealed
through the local papers for apples
and received q most generous response.
We take this occasion to thank our
friends.

Citizens Must Keep Off Fire Truck

A rule has been made by officials of
the fire department that hereafter no
citizen will be allowed TO attach him.
self to the motor-driven fire truck in
going to fires. The rule has been made
necessary because people have begun
to form the habit OF getting aboard the
truck when it started for fire. There
is two-fold reason for the rule: First,
it tends to over crowd the truck and
hinder the work OF the men and keep
them from advantageous positions; land
second, citizens run an unwsrranted
risk in getting hurt if an accident
should happen. The rule is a fair and
reasonable one for the machine was
never intended for public convey
ance TO fires but as piece of appara-
tus solely for the use of the tiremen
and they should be allowed TO get the
best service possible out of it which is
impossible if it is continually crowded
with other than members of the de-
psrtmept.
