portant therefore, that the develop
ment of public works of every sort
should be promptly resumed in order
that opportunities should be created
for unskilled labor in particular, ana
that plans should be made for such
developments of our unused lands and
our natural resources as we have hith-
erto lacked stimulation TO undertake.
Reclamation Plan Endorsed
Ii particularly direct your attention
to the very practical plans which the
secretary of the interior has develop
ed in his annual report and before
you,, committees for the reclamation
of arid, swamp and cut-over lands
which might. if the states were will
| ing and able to cooperate, redeem
some three hundred million acres Of
| land for cultivation. There are sald
| to be fifteen or twenty million acres
| of land in the west, at present arid
! for whose reclamation water is avail
I able. If properly conserved. There are
about two hundred and thirty million
acres from which the forests nave
been cut. but which have never yet
been cleared for the pillow and which
| lie waste and desolate. These lie scat
tered all over the Union. And there
are nearly eighty million acres OF
land that lie under swamps or sub
| iect to periodical overflow or too wet
| for ANYTHING but grazing which 1t IS
perfectly feasible to drain and pro-

lat once direct thousands Of the re-

of the arid lands which 1t has already
undertaken. if 1t will but enlarge the
nlans and the appropriations which
H has entrusted to the department OF
the interior. 1t is possible in dealing
with onr unused land to effect a great

 Today brings the close of the Red Cross Christmas roll call It is the last day for those to register as having "a heart and a dollar" Workers con tinued to be very busy throughout the Putnam district on Saturday, and it was stated that the figures received on enrolment up to that time were highly pleasing to the committees in charge. These figures should be much higher for the district, however, and it is hoped that today's returns will boost them by several hundred.
 William H. Putnam of Hartford, who | haS been named as Snannsan TOT con- necticut of the fifth Liberty loan,
 scheduled for next spring, formerly was connected with g, banking instiEU
 tioh in this city. He formerly lived in 1 Danielson.
 More soldiers were seen on the streets of Putnam during Saturday 1 than on any day for a year. The men 1 were chiefly from Camp Devens and 1 Camp Upton and were happy in the 1 possession of discharges from the ser
 vice. They were on their way to their 1 homes throughout this territory or in ] distant points in Connecticut, some of
 them waiting for trains to proceed on
 their journey.
 The annual performance Of the 1 Christmas mystery play at Ponlfret ! Sunday evening was as remarkably l inspiring as ever and one effect is to
 fix more firmly the resolution that this
 annual feature of Pomfret's life shall
 never be set aside. As in other years

 Saturday morning, when winter off, cially began, the wind was from the south, and the weatherWise stated that this was an indication of a continued mild season.
 A troop train bearing more than 300 men from Fortress Monroe, Va, to Camp Devens stopped here for a few minutes Saturday morning. The boys, all New Englanders, who have been in training at an artillery school, were glad to get back in Gods country they said

This was at Newport News and we did it to pay them up for what we figured were over charges"
 The men in the train had been on the road since Thursday night and were pleased to hear that they had only 50 miles more to travel to get from Putnam to Camp Devens. The men were chiefly from Massachusetts and Maine.
