HENS AND POTATOES
 STOLEN
Meanest Kind of Thieves Working in
 Putnam
Rob Roosts of Sidney Heath and Mark
 Dawsey

The lowest, meanest, kind of thief is hen thief. A garden thief Is as bad. Fowl and potatoes have been disappearing from their rightful own CTS during the night.
 Sidney Heath, keeper at the Putnam Country Club, lost a flock of thirty fine Rhode Island reds last week. lie places his loss at $50. They disap- peared from their roosts inside Of the coop and no trace of the thief has been found.
 Last Sunday night i've sacks of hts potato .s, about ten bushels in all, dis appeared from his field u was seen where horse and carriage had driven into a nearby field and the potatoes dug and carried there.
 night or two later Mir. Heath found his dog frothing at the mouth and killed 1t. It Is thought that the thieves poisoned the dog to make their work easier and not so dangerous. Sunday night Frank Dawsey, who lives near the foundry, had five hens stolen from his coop. It Is thought that the thieves came from the rail- road nearby and they could be traced for short distance through the woods.

RECEPTION TO
 SCHOOL FACULTY
Parent Teacher Association ArrangeS Welcome for Superintendent and
 Teachers
An Enjoyable Affair

The first meeting of the Parent Teacher Association, held on Tuesday evening, Oct. Is, in the high school assembly hall, was reception to the new superintendent and teachers Of the town. It was very we'll attended by probably not less than 135 parents, high school, trade school, and grade teachers, and school officials.
 First came formal reception, which was, however, a social pleasant one, during which everyone present went the length of the long line of teachers, headed by Superintendent and Mrs. Mac Donald, MT. and Mrs. Handy and MT. and Mrs. Snow.
 solos by Miss Lorena Gallant and Miss Dorcas Bartlett, and a few short speeches. Mrs. Handy, president of the Parent Teacher Association, spoke briefly and very interestingly of the history and nature of the associat ion and bespoke the support of the town for the work of the local organization in it's efforts to bring parents and teachers together in such gatherings as this with it's aim to organize and equip an adequate play ground.
 Mir. Handy then made a brief an nouncement of the high school lecture course for this year.
 Mrs. Elvira Barber welcomed the teachers in behalf of the parents, sssur- ing them of the trust and support of the parents, while Eric Johnson chair man of the school committee, spoke in behalf of the school board, emphasiz- ing again the need of teachers to know home conditions and of parents to know school needs. MT. Johnson closed by special words of welcome to MT. Macdonald, superintendent of schools, who in reply expressed the thanks of the teachers for such a wei come. He congratulated the town upon having adequate school buildings for which it had fortunately made pro vision before these days of financial stress. He expressed qualification also in the excellence of the teaching force. One of the most obvious needs of Put nam schools, he believes, is greater care for the health of the pupils, need that is brought forcibly to our at tention by the recent discovery that so small a percentage of men are physi- cally it for military duty. He expres- sed hope that medical inspection may be introduced into our schools at no far distant date.
 After the speeches, followed a gener. al good time under the direction of Ernest c. Morse who soon had every body taking part in the grand march, led by Mir. and Mrs. Joseph Gagne. Then came Virginia Reel, "Paul Jones,'' two steps and waltzes, inter- rupted only by the delicious refresh ments of sherbert and cake, the for mer made by the Domestic Science pupils under the direction of Miss Donovan.
