 Interest in Rifle Practice.
 Capt. F. O. Armington of the Home guard company says that the mem bers of the command are showing commendable interest in rife prac- tice.

 Mir. Hutchins said that a number mobiles and motorcycles did not file any list showing such ownership, go it will be the duty of the board to place a value on the machines and assess them accordingly.
 While the board of assessors look for a substantial increase in the grand list about to be compiled over the fig ures in the grand list for this year, it Is as yet impossible for them to make an accurate forecast as to how great the increase will be. The grand list will not be completed until after the first of the year.

PLENTY OF COAL.
Local Supply Sufficient For Family
 Use and For Manufacturies.


 Neither the people nor the manufac- turing concerns of this city are going to face any coal famine right away. This statement is based on informa- tion gained Thursday afternoon in in terviews with local coal dealers.
 While Putnam has no surplus of coal as the word surplus formerly was used. there is plenty right in the city to allow every family being warm, and enough bituminous coal here to keep the wheels of the big plants going without interruption. There isn't enough coal to last all winter, but w. s. Johnson says there is more to be had for Putnam on a few days notice. So it now seems probable that Put nan; will not suffer much for coal this winter. unless something unforeseen deve1opes.
 That the coal situation is not acute in Putnam, as it is in many New Eng land towns and cities, is due to the fact local coal dealers say, that the dealers and manufacturers z in many places where there is great coal shortage would not pay premium prices for coal during the spring and summer. They figured that lower prices would come than have been realized. Putnam dealers and man uracturers did pay premiums and got coal. which after all. under present conditions, is the main object in, the fuel game.
 The dealers here appear confident that coal will continue to come through in sufficient quantity to keep the citys people comfortable and its in- dustrfeS humming.

JAIL FOR INVENTOR.
John Mcdonald, Claiming to Be Pal of Edison, Fails to Convince Court.

While making 1t clear that he did not wish to deprive the nation of the services of a brilliant inventor during the period of the war, Judge l.. H. Fuller. presiding at a session of the city court Thursday morning, tsentenc- ed John McDonald, who has been en- ployed in Wauregan, it is said, to serve 20 days in jail.
 Mac" was picked up on the streets Wednesday night. At the time he fell into the hands of an officer of the law, he was engaged in declaiming rela- tive to his abilities as an inventor and of his association with Edison in the wizards researches for means to make Uncle Sam master of the IT. boats and to give him command of the air. It was obe inferred that Ed ison had little on Mac when it came to. the matter of submarines, flying torpedoes. aeroplanes and other such toys, and Mac did seem to care who knows it. He afterwards ex- plained that he had been talking to some people who had been telling some stories of size ard he didn't propose to allow them anything on him.

OVER S14,o0o PAID
 FOR LIQUOR LICENSES
Nineteen Granted to Saloons and Ho
 tells and Five to Druggists.

Over s14,000 was paid to County Commissioners E. H. Corttis, John A. Dady and Urgele Lafrance when they met in the offices of the clerk of the superior court here Thursday morn ing to grant liquor licenses for the en- suing year.
 No remonstrances were received against any of the applicants, who are the same as those now 0ofng business in the city, and there was no hitch in carrying out the yearly proceedings.
 Nineteen liquor licenses were grant ed, and each of these cost $750. As the town of Putnam has never voted mo- license since the law providing that there shall be no more than one li- cense to each 500 of the population went into effect, this city, under the statute, is permitted to have the same number of places as before the limit ation law was enacted; otherwise the number of saloons here would be re- duced.
 In addition to the saloon and hotel licenses. the commissioners granted 5 druggists licenses.

THIEVES ABANDONED CAR. Machine Stolen From Charles GoseIin Found Where IL Was Wrecked.

Compiaint was made to the police on Thursday morning that the Hudson touring car of Charles Goselin had been stolen during the night. from his garage near his home on Boulevard terrace.
 Captain Ryan took immediate steps to notify officers in nearby towns and cities to be on the lookout for the ear and had .sent out several messages when word came to him that the car had been found, not distant from the Goselin place.
 It would appear from the circum- stances that the persons who took the car lost control of the machine in get ting down a little used roadway lead ing from the. terrace into School street and that the car had plunged against a wall and was wrecked. After this the car was left by the thieves and it was not located until after the no- lice had been notified. MT. Goselin has had. the car only, about week, having traded another machine for the Hudson, which was not new.

No, friends: it is not the qreed of the farmers which is solely or even mainly responsible for your food diff faculties.
 If you of the cities would devise for yourselves a sensible and busi- ness-1ike method of direct co-opera- tive buying; if you would plan your food purchases with foresight and economy: above al1.' if you would see to it that what food you do buy was used, to the last bit of gristle and the last grain, and that it was cooked and served wfthou twaste-you could and would come mighty close to the government record of efficiency and economy.
 Of course, if you're too shiftIess to take pains; or too selfish to work with your neighbors; or too stubborn to give up your own way in any de- tail; or just too plumb mean to do anything but howl and denounce somebody else. why. then you have the royal American privilege of keep ing up the howl.
 You can continue to objurgate the farmers of the iand for what is chief ly your own fault, just as long as you don't do you any earthly good: nor do they hurt us farmers appreciably. They are not really entertaining. but we're beginning to get, toughened to them. -fr
