PUTNAM

Rev. Frank D. Sargent, A, pastor of the Second Congregational church of this city for 2S years and dean of the pastors of eastern Connecticut, died during the early hours of We'd nesday morning at the Day Kimball hospital, where he had been a patient for several weeks. The people of the city mourn the death of a clergyman, who in long years of service had won the esteem and love of the members of all. denominations.
 In the early fall Rev Mir. Sargent became seriously i'll. For a time it was difficult to diagnose his ailment, but it was finally established that he was suffering from appendicitis. He submitted to an operation, but his years and weakened condition com bined to lower hope that he might eventually recover. Since the opera ton there have been times when his condition had been somewhat i'm proved, but never to such a. degree as to give real encoura cement to those who watched with deep interest his | battle for reestablishment of health | Tuesday his condition became so criti- cal as to forecast the approaching end and he passed away early Wednesday I morning.
 Frank D. Sargent was born in Bos- ton, November 10. 1S44. the younges of six children of John and Louiss Hunt Sargent. In his very early day: he attended the Brimmer school ant was under the instruction of "F'athe1
 Bates" At the age of 10 he wen
 with his father to Newton, where ht
 also studied, and still later entered
 Silver Lake seminary for his prepara- 1 tory course.
 At the age of r MT. Sargent hac
 so advanced his education as to ente | Amherst, from which college he grad
 uared in the class of 1886. He wa
 one of the original five students wh. became members of Alpha Chi chap | ter of the Chi Psi society, which ha l since become one of the best know | of college fraternities.
 During the year following his grad
 uation from Amherst MT. Sargent at tended the Baptist seminary, and at ? years of age began his finishing COLTS
 at the Andover Theological seminary preaching a year at Dunstable an
 other places while continuing his stud ies. He preached his first sermon a the Methuen Baptist church.
 In 1869 he was called to the pastor
 ate of the Congregational church d Brookline, N. H., where he remaine
 for IT years. preaching also at Town

place his home. No less than 20 calls came to him during the period Of these pastorates, but though he gave some of them serious consideration, he eventually declined each and every one. Finally his health became tm- raired and he went west, remaining for a period of six mouths, during which he made careful studies of many things of interest in the sections where he visited, these studies after wards being the basis for an interest ing series of lectures.
 He, returned to his pastorate Jan. 1, 1890. Continuing his pastoral work for a few months, he accepted call to the Second Congregational church of Putnam. Sept 1, 1890. Ever since that distant date he has labored in this city, building constructively his church work and making ever in creasingly felt his influence for good | among all his fellow citizens.
 Rev. MT. Sargent's life activities be- fore coming to this city indicated the | broadness and efficiency of his vision Of life. At one period he became per sonally interested in the putting | through of telephone line between 1 Townsend and Nashua, N. H., and to 1 the accomplishment of this end he l brought into play his great energy for 1 the accomplishment of results. He was largely instrumental in having l this telephone line established over a distance of 20 miles, went out and secured subscribers and pledges of f. nancial support, collected funds for the project and even assisted in put ting up the line.
 1 F'raternally, before coming to Put nam, Rev. MT. Sargent was a mem Der of the United Order of the Col den Cross and became grand com nander of the fraternity in New Hampshire, receiving also other higl honors from the organization. Durinl | his long pastorate in Brookline ht gave much attention to educat1ona matters and for 12 years was super
 intendent of schools in that place. II this city he was member of Israe Putnam lodge of Odd Fellows.
 Though he was especially well in
 formed on matters pertaining to polit
 ical affairs and public policies in thu
 United States, Rev. MT Sargent in

 fairs, He was first of all church

 At Holy Trinity church in Porfret
 Wednesday morning, Rev. J. J. Elty was celebrant of a high mass of re- quiem at the funeral service for Miss Alice Hickey, for 27 years a. clerk in the B. D, Bugbee store in this city. Miss Hickey had been i'll at home for a considerable period before her death.
 After -the-war benefits are at once beginning, to make themselves felt in this city. The Dean division or the
 Otto Heinaman company, manufac- turers of phonograph pins and mill pins, is among the concerns that will
 be allowed at once to increase it's nor
 mai peace time business from the 50 per cent. capacity which it has been operating upon recently to 75 per cent. of normal. The organization Of this concern was badly disrupted a short time ago by the taking away of 34 of it's employees for engagement else where on pressing war work. Now some of these men will be permitted to return to their old positions. Frank Coss, chairman for the community la bor board for this district and or ganizer of the public service reserve said at his office in the Union block l Wednesday morning that the Dean Pin i company, as it is known here, would 1 be permitted to increase it's so-called | peace time business by 25 per cent

villagers of the town of Killingly. Goodyear produced six candidates for investigation in the town court. A gambling affair started the trouble that led to MT. and Mrs. John Colon being charged with serious offense, and they are now in Brooklyn jail in default. of $500 bonds each, awaiting consideration of their case by the superior court.
 It appears that John lost some mon . ey in a game of chance into which he entered The happening was in a home in Goodyear. Later Mrs. Colon re- turned to where the man who is sup posed to have won the money from | her husband was staying, and the ! holder of the money was assaulted. A 1 sewed-up pocket in which he had a | large sum of money, estimated to be as much as $500, was cut away, it is al- 1 legged, and the money seized while the man was held helpless on the floor.
 In acknowledging her part in dhe proceedings Mrs. Colon, who was as- sisted by her husband, says she got only SAP. Later she admitted it was as much as $500, but officials of the town 1 court allege that she must have got i away with $eO0.
 Mrs. Colon told officers that she had hidden what money she secured in an | empty condensed milk can which she buried in the rear of the shed at her home, but the officers figure that she sent them on a wild goose chase when she told them that yarn. They went to Goodyear and dug all over the ter ritory where she indicated that the money had been buried, but without finding it. The ground thereabout gave no indication that it had been disturbed recently.
 Four other persons who were en- gagged in the gambling affair in which l Colon first lost sum of money were
 fined s and costs, amounting to about S17 each.

HUGE SQUASH VINE
 GROWS IN KINGMAN

One of the largest squash vines ever seen by any one in any mans country is now growing in the war garden of J. H. Hutchison in the back yard of the family residence in King man.
 The vine is of the Hubbard squash variety and volunteered to come forth to the light of day and make the best of an existence on the desert about six weeks ago. At the present writing the vine has covered an expanse of about twenty foot square, climbing onto the roofs of several adjacent sheds and now has a heavy srop of fine Hubbard squash ripening for fu- ture pies.
 It is such fine sight that it is worth the time of anyone to call ana view it's rapid ana enormous growth.

MOTHERS NEAR CAMPS LOOK AFTER BOYS FOR
 MOTHERS AT HOME

Real mothering by real mothers for home-sick boys in army camps all over the country, may grow out of a movement just started by Miss Emma l.. Adams, of the War Camp Commu- nity Service of San Antonio, Texas in answer to appeals from two moth CTS with sons in San Antonio camps The letters cahe at different times from widely different places. The first one read:
 "I have read that in every town ad- jacent to military camps there is a War Community to give the lads a touch of home-the only thing Uncle Sam has omitted, and that only be- cause it takes mother to do it. My son has been in camp eight months, and it would surely delight him and please me beyond expression if some San Antonio mother would take mo- tice of him."
 Miss Adams telephoned two mothers who have been associated with the work and gave them the letters. An instant decision was made by both, and the two mothers went in search of the boys. .E...... ,r....
 Miss Adams has been accomplishing list of volunteer workers, and from this list, as similar requests come in, real mothers will be asked to act as godmothers to the boys in the camps here. There will be no "big-sister- ing" Only to select mothers will the names be given. The boys will be ap- prised of the movement through camp papers, and the "camp mothers" will keep in touch with the mothers at home by frequent letters.
 Mothers having sons stationed at any of the camps in San Antonio should address Miss Emmn L. Adams,
