COUNTY AGENTS STATEMENT
Much Work Accomplished During De.
cember-various Meetings and Con.
ferences Held.

County Agent W. c. Kennedy's re-
port for December, 1915, shows that
the work is developing rapidly in the
right direction. Miscellaneous, indi-
viuat work is being replaced by work
with groups. This allows more time
for planning the work, and what is
better yet, allows more people to get
in touch with what is being done.
The statistics OF December, 1915,
are as follows: have visited farm
ers: AZ have called at the office, and
I have gotten in touch with IS by tel
ephone. have written 20 letters, be-
rnents. / have held, or spoken at 8
meetings, at which the attendance was

acquainted with what has been done
through fifteen newspaper articles.

December s. 9, 10 were spent at
New Haven attending the annual
Farm Bureaus and Of County Agents.
All the meetings were wei 1attended
and were addressed by interesting
speakers. Many problems of extern
sion work were discussed, and ways of
handling them were discovered. On
the last day of the conference each
county agent discussed some particu-
lar and typical problem that he had
met with in his work. Many new
ideas and valuable suggestions were
brought out In these discussions.
During December an organization has
been completed for arranging a four
day extension school in agriculture
in Woodstock. This school will be
held January Is to 81.
All county agents were required to

the work of the w. c. F. A. to Janu-
airy / 1916. Among the interesting
ngureS was the following:
Woodstock farmers have cooperated
THIS year in the purchase of $1,7s9
worth of supplies. Their saving was
approximately 10 per cent. of this
amount.

we worked last year were hastily
drawn up and could, I thought, be
improved. After. comforting with
Prof. Baker, have rewritten the
i've project statements, and will SUBJ

the day.
Our Office records have been very in
complete and inadequate. We have
now new fling cabinet, and I have
put considerable time on working out
a system which will allow us to find
out at a minutes notice anything we
want to know about our work and how
1t is being carried on. This record
system win include scrap book in
which will be kept newspaper articles
which appear in Windham County
papers. This is for the purpose of
keeping record of what publicity
work we do, and to check up the re-
suits.

ONLY SEVEN FIRE ALARMS.
Loss in Borough Very Small During
Past Year.

: There were but seven alarms for
fire in Danielson during 1915, and as
has been the case for a long term of
years, no fire loss of any Importance,
Danielson's record in this respect be-
ing remarkable, which may possibly
suggest to some that it would be well
to knock on wood. The fact is, never
theless, that Danielson has been freer
from fire losses than almost any town
of its size in Connecticut for the past
half dozen years. The total of losses
for 1915, as shown by the record of
Chief A. P. Woodward Of the fire de-
partment, aggregate only $3.50.
The list of fires follows:
May 14--10.45 a. m, box Is, Mrs
Young place, Maple street, caused
from efforts to burn caterpillars' nests.
No loss.

Immediately leased by the New Haven.
Most of the other roads reported that

The two recent storms cost the New

CAPTAIN MURRAY. RETIRED.
Efficient Police Chief Makes Way for
Democratic Appointee.

Capt. John Murray, who has been
retired from the police force, has made
the reputation during his long years of
service of being one of the ablest and
best officers that any city in Connecti-
cut has been able to boast.
He was always on his job. He played
no favorites. He religiously avoided
all danger of being compromised. Any
one who cared to do business with him
was obliged to do it in the open. There
was no other way. During the score of
years that he served as an officer in
Putnam, both before and subsequent to
PutnaIn's Incorporation as a city, he
was known as an absolutely honest
official, fearless to the point Of reck-
lessness when occasion demanded a
test of mettle, and always just.
Captain Murray was exact in the
discharge of his duties and neglected
no details. AS republican he was not
in line to hold the place against the
democratic candidates who were in a
position to demand the place from
their party in the majority in the COM
mon council, but there are very few
democrats in the city who do not go
out of their way to pay him q tribute
as an officer and as man.
He win be missed from the force,
but he has set a high standard for
those who are to follow him and In
SO doing he has rendered an enduring
benefit to the city.
Crowds at Bradley Theatre.
Several hundred more Putnam people
witnessed the showing Of The Birth of
Nation at the Bradley theatre Tues
day afternoon and evening and were
more enthusiastic than the audiences
of Monday.
There was a great deal of applause
during the shows on Tuesday and the
picture seemed more appealing than on
Monday.
