BILLY SUNDAYS
 STAR CONVERT
AT ]. Saunders. the Man Who Prepar' ed Boston for the Famous Evangelist
To Speak Here Dec. Srd

"What do you think of Billy Sun. dayPo This is the question upon ev. cry ybody's lips in greater Boston today, This most. talked of man in the United States challenges Nh opinion from every thinking man or woman. Seeing is believing, and in this case, hearing for one's self is the only adeq uate basis of judgment. A man, tree, or a movement is to be judged by the fruits produced.
 On Dee. 3rd the man who stirred Boston In preparation for the coming of Billy will speak in Putnam, in the Bradley theatre, at 3.50 p. m. This man Is "Al" ]. Saunders, one time profes sional "rounderu of Scranton, Pa, and today giving the ciearest, most startling testimony to the effect iveness of the Sunday campaign. He speaks from an experience that few men could pass through and live to tell of it. It is the thrilling tale Of a man brought up from the brink of de- struction, d story full of the deepest human interest, told in way that ap- peals forcibly to the "man on the street.p
 Mir. Saunders has filled more than one hundred engagements in New England since the summer, and Is now in demand all over the country. He has declined an attractive offer 10 join the Sunday party, believing he can do more good Independently in working in advance of the campaign and giving men and women who "want to be shown a concrete and graphic idea of the character and work of MT. Sunday.
 If you have formed an adverse opin- ion of Billy Sunday, or if you have not come to any opinion at all, do not fail to hear this man who speaks with the greatest authority in the wofld-per- sonal experience. Remember the date, Sunday, Dec. 8, at 3 30 p. m. A silver offering will be taken to defray the expenses of the meeting.

AUTO HITS GIRL
Jennie Spinosa, Aged 1, Run Over
No Bones Broken, Will Recover

Jernie Spinosa, fcur years old, was ru n e CT by an automobile belonging to Ms. Frank G. Letters of Grand View, on Elm street Thursday morn. ing. The only occupant of the car was Mark Lewis the chauffeur. The little girl was taken to her home. It was found that no bones were broken but she remains under the observance of the family physician in case that in- ternal injuries should develop.
 The little girl, who is the daughter of dr. and Mrs. Albert Spinosa, Buck street, was on the way to her fathers tailor shop not far from where the ac cident happened. A large truck of the Manhassett Manufacturing company came along going south on Elm street. The Spinosa girl started to cross the street. She apparently saw the truck and when half way across she darted back again directly in the. path of the Letters machine. The mud guard struck her and knocked her down and some of those who saw the accident think that enc of the wheels passed over her body. The machine was stopped in short distance and Mir. Lewis put the child in the car and took her home. Dr. J. J. Russell was sent for.
 MT. Lewis says that he saw the girl cross in front of him and that she suddenly darted lback again right in his path. He was powerless to stop the car so suddenly did she change her course.
 Mir. Spinosa, father Of the little girl, said "I was in my store which is not far from where the accident happened. l saw the people running and when 1 learned there was an accident l felt that it was my little girl. One reason that leadsme to this conclusion was that 1 hso been expecting her and she had not come.'

Woodstock Academy Notes

The first game since the basket ball team joined the league, took place Fri day night, Nov. 17th, mt Webster, Mass. One of the boys reports as fol- lows: "The game started at S:l5. With the two teams in their proper positions the referee tossed the ball up between the two centres, blew his whistle, and the battle was on. The ball was passed from one end of the hall to the other until finally one of the Woodstock boys made foul.
 A great many fouls were made hy both teams throughout the game, al- though the Academy team was guilty of the most, because the league rules were different from what they had been used to playing by. At the end of the first half the score was 2l to : in favor of Webster. The Academy team entered the second half with great spirit, and brought the final score to IS points to A in favor of Webster. The latter team consisted mostly of large, tall fellows, outweighing the Woodstock team by great deal, but everyone thought it was a very good game" Theschedule is given below:

 MT. Bradway built up prosperous grocery and grain business on cash basis. A hard and fast rule of his store was "No trust" and he has continued his business most successfully under that policy.

CHAMBER
 OE COMMERCE
Actively Engaged in Projects for Public
 Betterment
Health and Fire Protection Movement
 Now Under Way

The Putnam Chamber of Commerce is continuing as an active, live org ami za,ion and has many projects on it's hands to better local conditions in va. rious departments.
 Two of the latest matters to be dis cussed relate 10 health conditions and fire protection in Putnam.
 Through the chamber steps ,have been taken to form a citizens health committee. The secretary has sent letters to fifteen prominent people re. questing them to act on such a com mittee and favorable replies are com. ing in. While there is no specific it is believed that such a body of citi- zens interested actively in the health welfare of the city will have an excel i lent effect and may lind chances for improving local conditions.
 Some of the purposes served will be the matter of district nurse, garbage disposal, overseeing general sanitary conditions, and a condition of cleanli ness throughout the city. Infant nor tality will also come under fhe juris- diction of the committee. It is be- lleved that with such an active com. mittee a great good can be accom- plished along these lines.
 lis proposed to make general sur. vey of local conditions going back some years and based upon this sur vey plans for improvement can be made and carried into effect.
 At meeting of the executive com- mittee Tuesday evening the matter of fire protection was discussed. The fire underwriters have made recon. mendatiops which,sif complied with, will not only give better protection but will have the effect to reduce the rates of insurance in the city.
 Among the recommendations is ad- ditional apparatus. The committee voted to petition the common council to call special city meeting to see if the city will appropriate sum not to exceed $500 to be used for the pur- chase of motor-driven fire truck to be located in the northern section of the city. This petition will be circulated for signatures throughout the city in time for it to be presented at the meet ing of the council the first Tuesday in December.
 The merchants committee of the chamber has also been active and an advertising campaign has been car ried to effect. Six thousand sheets containing advertisements of the mer- chants have been distributed and It is expected that it will greatly effect the holiday business. It sets forth the ad- vantsges of Putnam as a trading cen. ter land will attract many from the outlying sections who, by this means, will have an opportunity to read at their leisure the offerings the local merchants are making.
 The activity of the chamber is most gratifying to all classes of citizens. It is an influence for the progressiveness and uplifting of our city. It is evil dence that Putnam is alive to its own advantages and intends that others shall be brought to similar realiza- tion. The chamber is filling the pur- pose for which such an organization is intended and filling it we'll.
