 No Livery Licenses for 1916.
 A large percentage of the automo- bile owners of Putnam have filed their applications for 1916 registration. Some kicking has been heard over the fact that no more livery licenses are to be issued, under the plan of 1915. The livery licenses were taken ad- vantage of in some cases, one in stance being known in this vicinity of a man taking out one of the re- duced rate registrations for use on a monster truck that so far as known never engaged in what might be con sidered a livery business, but he got away with the stunt under the old law

ACTIVE IN MERfDEN.
Telephone Manager w. L. Moran Gives
 TranscontinentaI Demonstration,

W. L. Moran, who was the active. and progressive manager of the Dan 1elson, Putnam and Moosup divisions of the s. N. E. T. company up to a fecT weeks ago, and who left here to take the more important position as manager for the company in the Mer- iden, Wallingford and Southington ex- changes, is getting on in Meriden, as indicated by the following from a re- cent issue of a paper in that city:
 Thursday night 200 members of the Meriden Chamber of Commerce were auditors to the second transcontinental telephone demonstration ever held in Connecticut. The idea of connecting the Silver City with the city of the portals of the western coast, was con- ceived by Local Manager w. L. Moran of the Southern New England Tele- phone company and Secretary Hart, the newly appointed secretary of the Meriden Chamber of Commerce and after weke of strenuous planning and working, these two men brought together the forces of the Chamber of Commerce, the Southern New England Telephone company and the American Telephone and Telegraph company. In spite of the storm king, who had play ed upon the organ of nature with his left foot on the pedal of snow, the right foot on the pedal or sleet and the stops and wind and rain pulled out, endeavored to sever the listeners before they ever sat down as an au- dience from the rhapsody of industry the symphony of voice communica- t1on from coast to coast. Undaunted, the telephone men battled against this king of nature and successfully held in place the two strings of telephony, those glistening strands of copped wire stretching 3,400 miles across the con- tinent and never for a moment were these out of tune or even discordant nor was the stretch of these wires broken while the audience listened to solid hour and twenty minutes of real interesting speechmaking and mu- sic not losing a sigh of the roar of the Pacific accompanied by moving pictures.

YOUNG JOY RIDERS HURT .
 WHEN AUTO WAS WRECKED.
Edmund McGee Ran the Machine Into Elm Street curb-AII Taken to Hos pitaI.

Edmund McGee, Charles Donohue and Peter Dumas, all local young men, were badly hurt Tuesday evening when a light touring car in which they were driving was wrecked on Elm street, near May street. McGee was driving the car and it is believed he ran it into the curbing, completely wrecking it. All of the young men were rendered unconscious and were taken to the Day Kimball hospital Dumas, who got into the machine to ride home in the north end of the city, has a Broken collarbone and cut on the forehead and nose. McGee seems to be the worst hurt and remains in a semi-con- scious condition late Tuesday night. Donohue is cut about the face and badly shaken up. The wrecked car belongs to Samuel Smith, who runs a cafe on South Main street. It was said for MT. Smith after the accident that he had employed McGee to act as chauffeur on his trip to Providence during Tuesday and had paid McGee 8 for his services. Upon returning to Putnam and his place of business about 6 o'clock he gave McGee the key to the garage and instructions to put the car up at once. This McGee evidently failed to do. The accident happened about 7.3O. It was said that all the young men will probably recover.

On every side business men told of an unprecedented rush of buy CTS and very liberal spending of money. In some stores, following an all day crowding of buyers, business became so heavy Monday evening as to be be- yond the clerks capacity to handle. Extra salespeople were added Tues day, so that no more difficulties of this kind are to be expected.

COUNTY AGENTS ACTIVITIES.
Farm Management Records to Be Re- turned-County Directors to Meet Plans for School of Agriculture.

County Agent Kennedy will be in his office in Putnam most of the re- maining days of 1915. The writing of his annual report, newspaper work, planning projects for next year, and installing a complete set of office rec ords, will occupy his time. He is available, of course, for farm visits and consultation as usual.
 The first work after January 1st will be the returning of the farm man agement demonstration records taken during May and June. A series of meetings of those whose farms were visited by those taking the records will be arranged. The area surveyed will be discussed as a whole. No mans farm will be talked about at these meetings as each mars business IS considered his own affair. Conditions indicated by the survey will be dis cussed. If the figures show a labor income on these farms that is too low, farm CTS will be asked to suggest changes in cropping systems, farm manage ment, or livestock management, which will tend to show a larger income from | the farmers labor on the next years | records. Systems of farm accounts | will be discussed, and all interested l will be urged to adopt some system by which he may know which branch of his business is netting him a fair return, and what part, if any, is not. | CounIy agent AcptSltieS.
 Irving G. Davis, from the extension service at the Connecticut Agricultural college, will assist in the returning of l these records, and will be present at
 such meetings as may be held. He has
 a set of slides prepared on this Put
 nam area, and will give illustrated talks explaining how the figures show ing the labor income were obtained. He will also go over certain records and explain why a large or small la Dor income is shown.
 MT. Kennedy would like suggestions regarding the time and place for hold ing such meetings. The local school
 houses would make ideal places. If someone has large kitchen or other room where half a dozen or more men could meet, such a place would be even better. Women interested in the Ques- tion of profitable farming will be urged to be present at these discussions.
