The whole world will hope that the
report of the discovery of the scarlet
fever bacillus is true, as it will mean
that a proper remedy for combating
the dreaded disease will soon be forth
coming, making another long advance
step to the credit of medical science,
Scarlet fever has been pretty we'll con
trolled in recent years through strict
guarantees, but there are older people
who will recall the time when the dis
ease ran in epidemic form through
many Vermont communities, causing a
large percentage of deaths and leaving
many of those who recovered suffering
from weaknesses which impaired their
efficiency for years and sometimes for
life.

The rapid growth of some of our old
New England cities is a surprising fea-
ture of industrial development in the
East. Bridgeport, Conn, has been
veritable boom city, through the manu-
facture of munitions. Hartford has
experienced prosperity from the same
source, but there are many new estab
iishments in the latter city which are
on a permanent, solid basis. The popu-
lation of Hartford four years from now,
if the present rate of growing is main
tanned, will be 10000, according to
Mayor Haggerty, who used these figures
as an argument for a plan for the re-
lief of congested traffic, which already
confronts the city.

LIGHTING THREE VILLAGES
Company to Provide Electric Service for BaIlouviIIe, PineviIIe and Attawausan.

Astronomers who sweep the heav- ems to the north with their telescopes on about the time of the beginning of the summer solstice may fool them selves into thinking they have dis covered a bevy of brilliant new plan cts some night, but they'll be all wrong.
 Bulletin readers are herewith let in on the information that the cause of the new brilliancy will be due to the electric illumination of the yiI- laSes of Attawaugan, Ballouville and Pineville, which are to emerge from the kerosene age as rapidly as busy craftsmen can install lines and lights.
 The Attawaugan company has ar ranged for the lighting of all of their more than 175 tenements in the yiI- lages named. The company's mills which are never failing springs of prosperity for Killingly, are already electrically lighted, but the service will now be extended to every nook and corner of the three villages. And the people are delightedl
 Power for the lights is to be fur nished by the Danielson and Plain field Gas and Electric company. This concern will begin at the earliest pos- sible moment to construct such parts or the service line as is necessary | but much of the way the wires vii
 go on the same poles as the telephon, | circuits. The power company will al. | so have to face the necessity of agair | increasing its power producing eurfp.
 ment at its Plainfield plant. | L. A. Bradford, who has the wirinf | contract, also expects to get busy ai
 once. Many of the houses will hay, lighting service promptly, but the ioI to be done is a big one and it is no | expected to be completed until lat, | in the summer

sive proposition. This is demonstrat
 ed. in one instance, by the fact that
 the town of Putnam will have to pay approximately $500 extra for fuel this
 winter this for schools alone The
 usual supply for the schools was put
 in last summer. but it has been nec-
 essary to purchase % tons more coal
 for use in the high school. the Israel
 Putnam school and the Smith Street
 school. Then there has been dc-
 mand for extra fuel at the Sawyer
 district and other outlying district
 schools.
 Notwithstanding that the severe
 cold has hung on for weeks and that
 it has been impossible to heat some of the city school buildings a- times. | there has been only one day lost on account of weather. Th.S was on a day when the ground was covered ankle deep with slush. When build l ings were coldN and could not be heat | ed throughout, classes in the cold rooms were assembled in warm corri- | with the aid of electric lights, and in
 other cases they were compressed into
 rooms with other classes.
 What applies to the towns fuel ex- pense also applies to individuals in Putnam, where thousands of extra
 dollars worth of fuel have been | burned up since January 1 in an en- | deavor to keep buildings comfort able.

ADVANCE IN RENTS.
Property Owners Adding to What
 Tenants Must Pay.

The pressure for more homes in Putnam is making itself felt in real practical way, practical, at least. from the standpoint of property own CTS, only the rent payers can't quite see it that way. This means that rents are being given some real stiff boosts in some of the best residential sec tiOns of the city.
 In streets in the vicinity of Grove street a number of rents have been boosted So a month. putting the S20 rents on a S25 basis and some of the S25 ones on a $50 basis. This makes record high rents for this class of homes in this city,
 From the standpoint of the prop erty owner however, there is no in- justice in the rent advance. One of the largest owners of real estate of the class on which rents have been advanced said very recently that his property in this city was showing him practically no net return worth talk ing about, considering the cost of
 upkeep, interest on money invested, etc. He also said that he would not care to make at this time similar in vestments in new dwellings unless he
 could get a higher rate of return on his investment.
 The rent advance. however has some of the tenants thinking hard.

COLLECTORS NAMED
Will Solicit Funds for Starting Base .. ball Team.

W. E. Labelle, w. F. Reach and D. r. Jette have been named as collec- tors for funds to meet the expenses of summer. These members of the spe- cial baseball committee of the Busi- ness Mems association are to start their canvass at once and are hope ful that those who have been strong advocates of having a team in Daniel son will be equally as strong in their financial backing of the enterprise. There isn't any question but what the game in Danielson will be a big reve- nue producer once the season is well underway.
 But in the meantime there is need of money for almost immediate lTisc. The fact that the ground is buried deep under snow and ice in no way effects the fact that next month only ten days away-iS a baseball month. April must be a month of hustling and results for the men who are to give Danielson baseball. Money, with a capital NJ, is the first and all important need.
 It is needed for many things-to build seats. put the grounds in shape to buy equipmen1 for the field and for the players. for the hundred and one little things that cost money in fitting a ball park and organizing team Every penny given goes into the game The people boosting 1t are working for Danielson-not for money.
 So now, gentlemen, you are invited to dig down into your jeans and dc your part toward putting Danielsor back on the baseball map, from which it has been missing To these many years. Messrs. Labelle, Reach and Jette are 100 per cent. prepared tC handle all money that comes in, so dc not hesitate to overcrowd them oI tire them out saying thank you" and writing your name into the honol roll, for there remains big reserve forces to help them out in laboring for the cause if the pressure of re- sponse becomes too great for then l to handle by themselves.

AUTO OWNERS ANXIOUS.
Those Who Bought Membership in Out of Town Organization Fear the Worst

Local automobile owners who bought membership in an organization through .which, by reason of their membership, they were to be enabled to buy gasoline, tires, inner tubes and other automobile accessories at a con- siderable reduction from regular re- tail prices, are much perturbed over published accounts in automobile trade papers, telling of how the con- cern is in difficulties. Upon becom- ing members the local men paid sums of money, said to range from $5 to $10 in advance. There are said to be about 40 members of the organization in Danielson and vicinity. Some of them seemed hopeful Monday that ev- erything would come out all right, as far as getting the service they bought Is concerned, while others were dubi- ous. The concern in question has headquarters in a distant city.
