NEW YORK
 LIKE PUTNAM
Annie Laltas Thinks It Has Nothing es Her Home Town Except More People
Went to Big City 10 Visit Relatives ans
 Forgot Their Address

Annie Zaltas, To, bright young miss, pupil in the Putnam high school and daughter of Philip zaitas, Elm street, has seen New York. Annie lost her way in the big town and got into the children's court where she told the justice that she wanted to find out what the country's largest city had on Putnam. She Is loyal te her home town and thought that the only thing in New York 10 brag about over Putnam was that little old New York has few more people.
 The following regarding Annie's ex- periences in the metropolis appeared in ione of the newspapers there. It was evidently written by some repors- CT with an imagination. At least An nie did not run away. She west with the knowledge and consent of her par ents. But here's how the New York newspaper gem looked at 1t:
 "Annie Haltas, fifteen years old, came all the way alone from Putnam, Conn, for one half hour of New York City. For nearly a year Annie has saved her allowance and had amassed SIS, which, she admitted at the Chit. dren's Society, yesterday, Is whole lot 10 spend for any trip, but New
 York was worth it.h
 In Children's Court she .ald Justice
 Mayo that she had come to find out
 what the largest city's got on Put | nam.' She arrived Wednesday after noon, and on Forty second street asked two schooIooys the way to "a nice boarding house.
 One suggested that she ask his mother. Annie stopped to send ieie- gram to her father, telling him she was safe, and then went 10 meet Mrs. Mary Gronen, of 7S7 Sixth Avenue. The mother, advising her to go home at once, notified a patrolman, whs took Annie to the Childfen's Society. Hemming handkerchiefs to while away the minutes until father should leave his butcher shop in Putnam ts call for her, Annie told Of the sprinR sightseeing fever which had seized her.
 q just intended to come here for little while aHd then go home and tell the girls all about It, but I've had enough of this city life. There's not I 80 much diile renee. lbetween Putnam | and New York--only more people, | When shown the item from the New
 York paper by . PATRIOT representa- 1 tive Mr. Zaltas said: '"No, Annie did n't run away from home. Some of it is true. 1 gave her $l5 to go to see her | mothers cousin in New York. She lives somewhere in the big numbers
 on 3rd Avenue. Annie lost the ad- dress and couldn't find them so, being | afraid to ask grown-up people, sho asked some children and she finally
 got into the hands of the society. She
 teegraphed to me Wednesday night
 and l went to New York Thursday
 morning. She twas of course some | what frightened and was glad to see
 me. 1 took her ,sight seeing and ts
 the theatre. We stayed two days and
 had good time. If you put any.

 oidn't. l gave her the money and
 her mother and 1 knew she was going. She lost the address we gave her and
 couldn't find her relatives that's all.n

 Hire New Teacher
Reports of Superintendent and Truani
 Officer

In his report te' the town school board for the month of March sub. mitted at the meeting of the Board Mond ay evening, Superintendent liar. old w. Files says; Severe storms and stressful weather reduced the attend ance figures and that when complete they will be little if any better than the figures in February.
 The entire educational system has been speeded up and more attention is given to intensive drills in the tunda- mentals than ever before.
 There have been fewer instances of corporal punishment than usual. The discipline however has improved. Most of the bad disciplinary cases are due 10 the home and school playing at cross purposes. Where there Is any degree of helpful Co operation, school disei, pline is comparatively easy.
 There is not a satisfactory degree of co operation between the home and the school. This condition is not pc culisr ito futnam. It Is general ac- cording to information received from other localities Just how to interest the home actively is one of the prob 1 lems.
 There has been less truancy but it has been of more aggravated type i than usual. A fourteen year old girl detied the officials and made her molhter believe she had been attend I ing school. More foreeful measures 1 had to be resorted to to convince her of the advisability of attending school. A few mild cases of scarlet fever have been reported. Precautionary measures were at,once taken Numerous cases of sore throat, tn themselves sus- picious, have come to notice. Some that were found carriers of diplheria l infection two years ago should receive attention. While teachers and su- l perintendent are on the alert the mat- ter of appointing a school physician should receive careful consideration.
 Grade eight is overcrowded and if the work prescribed is to ee satisfactor. ially completed Miss Kent should be given a helper and such teacher Is recommended.
 Geography in the elementary grades has been made more interesting for the children by the use of pictures.
 The teachers during the month have co operated efficiently in every un- dertaking along educational lines. Playground supervision is general. There seems to be better understand ing among educational workers and \ hopeful spirit prevails.
 The truant officer, Louis F. Battey reports that he has written,four letters and made l5 personal visits. Some perplexing cases have occurred but the children are all in school and without prosecutions.
 The cost of maintaining schools has steadily increased ss evidenced by ( parative cost between July l5 and April 1. In 1913 IA the total amount was Sl9, ,25s73; 1914 Is, s2l ,55S.1S. 1915 Is, S22, ,40l.44; l9l6-I7, S24 ,2sl .5o

the United States war department is
making an effort to contract for horses

this section of the state. The war de-
partment will purchase we'll broken,
sound horses direct from the farmers,
and in the opinion of Edgar I. Olsen.
field agent for the farm bureau. the
prices being offered are exceptionally
good.
Every farmer who has a horse or
horses to sell, is requested to report
to Mr.. Olsen, who will notify the wal
department as soon as a carload has
been obtained, and the depot quar-
termaster of Fort Keogh remount
depot will come here to inspect the
animals.
Three types Of horses are wanted.
For the cavalry and riding purposes,
horses weighing from $50 to 1900
pounds and standing Is to 16 hands
high are wanted. For the light artil-
lery, animals weighing 1850 to 1900

Is the Small Car
AN Economy When You
Have to Sacrifice So Much?.

n TEXT to buying a home, a car is perhaps the
largest purchase you'll ever make, 1t involves
! y rea! money. 1t ought to be correspondingly
considered.
Certainly $3.50 to $3.50 is too big a sum to spend
just on some friends recommendation or some sales
mans talk. Look at it as an investment. Think of
next week, next month, next year.
Think whether you are going to climb out Of the new car
a week from now, tired and cramped because it is too small for
touing-whether you are going to be able to take a few friends
on a trip and have them comfortable-whether the car will
stand up for years of hard service and ALWAYS be ready for
use, and If you should desire to resell or trade in, will have the
least possible depreciation from its original price.
Think of the future think Of the way you would buy
your home-how you wouldn't let a few dollars stand between
you and perfect satisfaction then decide whether it is true
economy to buy a car that you will soon find lacks the essen
tails of motoring satisfaction.
When you buy such a car you may save a little money on
the original price, but you must make sacrifices.
Ina Studebakerc car you getpowere enough for any hill, power
that will pull you through the deepest mud and sand; comfort at
any speed, roominess that small cars do nothave;a and high quality
materials and accurate workmanship combined with the accessft-
biity and ad~justablity that actually make upkeep and operation
charges for a period Of three years less than hhoe dany smaNcar.
Think ii over. Then see the car that is built to give aHthe
necessary essentials at the lowest possible price, the car with q
twelve months guarantee.
