MT. Austin told the man of routes he might take to said Plain field and yet reach Putnam.
 While they were engaged in conver- sation MT. Austin noticed that there were two touring cars, bearing New York numbers. hidden away in a cart path leading from the highway. The cars were loaded to the rails with children, evidently being brought into Connecticut by a route that would make them safe from questioning quarantine officers.

Snitches.

A snitch is a person who robs or betrays you lawfully. The fee system makes stitches, bIood-sucking snitch- es, of lawyers, judges and public of fcials. They can bleed you by means of the fee system. They can take much or little. They can absorb all your property or divide it with you fifty fifty. The lawful, legitimate prey of all stitches, is the widow, the or phan, the resident, and the poor person who by chance or industry has come into a little property. These fur nish the easiest money for the snitch- es, for usually they are helpless to struggle.-Capper's Weekly.

 Is PIainfieId Dead?
 There seems to be little of enthu- siasm here over the coming presiden- tai election. In previous years when the nominees were making their cam paign speeches local people were di- verting much attention to the plat forms of the opposing parties and were want to speak of the probability of the outcome, the fitness oL the can didates for the office, the candidates good points and their bad ones. But this year there are no corner discus sions on this topic. The fact seems strange indeed as PlainfeId has been wide-aWake along the political line. During the conventions of the Repub- lCan and Democratic parties a visitor here any evening would hear lengthy and well spoken discussions as to the outcome of the conventions and the ability of each candidate. One person however is, and has always been, right on the job and is pulling for his man and is pointing out the weakness of the opposing men. Hughes is his man and circulars are being distributed by him, giving Hughes platform.
 E. Garreaux of Webster, Mass, was a caller here Wednesday.
