 G. H. Gilpatric spoke in the High school hall Wednesday morning upon Banking" He told of the develop ment of civilization and how banking trose. First all trade was only barter, but then money was used. Someone must care for the money and in an swer to the need, the bank grew.

 An organization using the name of an eminent blind woman, writer or hymns who died two years ago. col lects money through mite boxes. T These are placed in stores and hotels So Tar as can be learned, after collecting money in a number of states for the last four years to build home for blind girls. no real move has ever been made to establish such a home.
 There is a man at work locally " no has been investigated by the chamber of commerce and the city officials. His work is probably not illegal. but there is great doubt whether 1t does any good.
 A bill has been introduced into the legislature requiring such solicitors to obtain. a permit from local authorities. and giving charitable organizations and chambers of commerce right to be heard on all such applications, if they have declared that they wish to be inviter. It is hoped that this bill will become a law.
 Unless one enjoys throwing money away, 1t is well to consult the local chamber of commerce when dealing with such strangers It would be easy to make Putnam famous among crooks as a bad place to operate if the citi- zens will only work together

.sLAckERs TO BE COUNTED.
Wordy Near Patriots Must Go on the
 List, Anyway.

Governor Holmomb's plan to enum- crate the male inhabitants of the state as to their fitness and willingness for military. service didn't listen well on Wednesday morning to some of the conversational patriots of Kiliingfy. but in other quarters it was received with enthusiasm as indicating that Connecticut is at least going to be in a position to know what it can expect from it's people in case of war. The let-George- do- the fighting type of pa triot is too common hereabouts, and it is with glee that those who would willingly enlist for the defence of the flag learn that the prospective slack CTS have got to go on record.
 Oneco Model School Praised
 What is known as model school is doing such excellent educational service at Oneco that it has come to be the subject of study by persons who are interested in rural schools. The state pays part of the salary of the teacher of this school, which is under state supervision. Educators who have visited the school are very generous in their praise of the work that is be- ing done. so much so that Killfngly's interest in having such a school is beginning to grow.

BUSINESS MEMS o. K.
Might Prevent Fraudulent Securing Of
 Subscriptions and Orders.

It has heen suggested that canvass CTS who come into Danielson seeking magazine subscriptions or business in other lines where payments are made in advance of delivery of the goods should be required to seek approval of the Business Mems association and secure it before establishing them selves as in good standing before the people with whom they hope to do business. This suggestion follows ex- periences that people here have gain ed fB the past.
 In case such a plan were adopted 1t is pointed out. persons solicited might inquire of the canvasser as to his having such local credentials. No person who is doing a legitimate bus mess would hesitate to submit to in vestigation. It is to guard against the il1egitimate operators. A person without the certificate of local approv- al would be placed in the position of one not in good standing and without claim to consideration.
 Periodically for the past few years persons have been 'stung,' the aggre- gate of money losses paid in advance for goods that never have been deliv- cred being considerable.
 Asking the Business Mems associa- ton to act as a board of inquiry may seem like stretching a point, but the Chambers of Commerce in a number of places act as inspectors of different soliciting schemes, so those who favor the plan hope that the local associa- ton might be persuaded to act as in- dicated. Acceptance, of course, would entail. some work foh the associations officials, but this work would be in the way of safeguarding the cornmunf- ty from interruptions persons.

Chamber of Commerce Tips Off Citi- zens as to a Number of Runeo Games.

All sorts of fakes, fraudulent pro- motion schemes, and pretended char itable collections, are constantly ap- bearing in Connecticut towns. The only safe rule is not to deal with strangers in such matters until they have been investigated. News has just been received by the Putnam Chamber of Commerce of certain schemes of this general class.
 Agents are again canvassing the state for a medical book published in New York, and claim that anyone who pays all the installments is entitled to two yearss free medical treatment A crew of women canvasses the town, usually making the sale to women. The secretary is advised that the proposed free treatment is given by mail, pre- and is therefore illegal. If they should visit local people the matter should be taken up with the chamber of commerce. or the prosecuting at torney.
 A group of men starts building op- erations on a moderately large scale These men have operated in several Connecticut cities, usually going into one of the group holding all the pre- ferred claims, apparently. The state police are Investigating this group. Z
 Citizens should be on the lookout for a man who styles himself civil and mechanical engineer, with busi- ness addresses at Boston and Prov idence. He is promoting a scheme to make a carburetor which will operate with kerosene. His form of organiza- ton may not be actually illegal, but it is complicated, and the promoter of it is said to have been connected with a number of unsuccessful schemes to promote inventions. Investigation developes that he is not a member of any engineering society, and the Bos- ton address he gives is the site of a little store. He is not known at this selling outright. he sells so-cailed
