FUNERAL SERVICES

terman, president of the Waterman
Worsted Company. whose death last
Friday afternoon was briefly an
nouneed in The Patriot issued that af-

was prayer service at his apartment

Harold Gilpatric and Silas M. Wheel
ock. Following the prayer service
the body was taken to the chapel in
Swan Point cemetery, Providence,
where the funeral service was held
and where burial took place.
Mr.. Waterman was the son of Ann
A Lockwood and the late Charles II.
Waterman, and was a direct descend
ant of Richard Waterman and Amos
| Lockwood, whofwere AMONG the orig
inal settlers of Warwick, r. |. He
WAS born on November 20, 1871, IN
Providence, where he received his ed
| ucation.
Following his graduation from the
Providence High school in 1890 Mr..
Waterman entered the employ OF the
Sayles Bleachery, one of the +. A..
Savles interests. His ability gained
recognition, and some twenty years
ago he was sent to Mechanicsvliie as
Office manager of the Franch RIVER
Textile Company, another of the
Sayles interests. A few years later
he. together with George p Newell,
assumed the agency of the mill, but
later. upon Mr.. Newel's retirement,
Mr.. Waterman became sole agent and
manager
Late in 1912 Mr. Waterman left
the employ of the Sayles interests and
with his brother, the late Percy l..
Waterman, and others, organized the
Waterman Worsted Company of tins
city The concern began the manu-
facture of fine worsteds, and was sue
cessful from the start.
Mr.. Waterman applied himself
closely to business. He not only took
upon himself the oversight OF the
manufacturing end, but went to New
York to call personally on the trade
and to place orders for his products.
He was systematic man who had un-
usual executive ability and who car
ried out his plans in the minutest de-
tail In fact he applied himself so
closely to business, and gave himseii
so little recreation and rest that THIS
NAV have been factor in undermin-
ing his health, as he was carrying a
heavier burden made heavier by the
death of his brother.
Nearly year ago his health broke
down and he went to the Day kimbaii
hospital, where he remained Tor
months. He left that institution
somewhat improved in health, but al
ter a short period took to his bed IN
his apartment and never thereafter
left the hotel.
Some years ago Mr.. Waterman
was an active member of the Arcan- |
UNI club. He had a good tenor voice
and took part in some of the amateur
minstrels given by the club. He was
also member of Quinebaug Lodge OF
Masons and of the Putnam Country
club where he was occasionally seen
on the links.
Mr.. Waterman's efforts were ben
efit.to Putnam. His mill ran most of
the time night and day and the pay
roll was substantial one. He was
ambitious and had in mind greatly
enlarged plant and had he been bless
ed with health his ambitions would
doubtless have been realized.
Mr.. Waterman leaves a wife and
his mother, who lives in Pawtucket.

GRANGE TO MEET
I'M. O. @. F. HALL
Present Quarters Too Small
For Growing Membership
ENJOYABLE Session Monday Evening
When Visiting Oranges Furnish
Interesting Program

Monday night was a busy night for
Putnam Grange. 1t was Neighbours
Night. and this attracted large at
tendance of local members, who en-
loved the entertainment given by
members of Wolf Den, Senexet, and
Quinnatisset Oranges. And Putnam
Grange, with increased activities and
rapidly enlarging membership, found
that the present quarters were too
small and inconvenient, ana voted to
hire Odd Fellows hall as a meeting
place hereafter, by an enthusiastic
vote. That more room is needed was
emphasized by the fact that extra
seats had to be brought from the Odd
Fellows hall for the meeting Monday
night. Four applications for mem
bership were read, and it Is expected
that a large class will enter the local
Grange at the next initiation.
The entertainment as prepared by
the visiting oranges and as announe-
ed by George B. Hamilton of Senexet
Grange. and Lecturer Miss Marjorie
Bradford of Putnam Grange, was as
follows:
Debate: Resolved, that the gov
eminent should own and operate the
railroads" Affirmative, Elizabeth
Ransom. Wolf Den; Freeman Nelson,
Senexet Negative, Mabel Johnston,
Senexet; H. Briggs, Wolf Den. Piano
solo. Mrs. Hildreth, Wolf Den; read
ing, Miss Jones, Quinnatisset; reading
Mr.. Whiting, Quinnatisset; vocal
duet, Michael and Owen White, Sen
exet; essay, Mrs Mary Ross Munyan,
Ouinnatisset; vocal solo, Dorcas Bart
lett, Putnam.
The debate was very pleasing and
friendly contested affair, and while all
the debaters did well, the work OF
Miss Elizabeth Ransom for the affirm
alive had much to do with the decis'
ion, her arguments and delivery, es,
pecially during the rebuttal, making
most favorable impression. The
White brothers, one wearing sail
or,s and the other soldiers uniform
in which they s7ervea Ureie Sam
were enthusiastically received, anf
their selections heartily applauded
Miss Bartlett, as ever, charmed th'
audience with her rendition of her Sc
lections.
AS part of the business of the loca
grange, it was voted to draw up reso-
buttons protesting against the day
light saving bill, as being hardship
for farmers generally. The debate or
this question was participated IN by
some of the visiting members.
AT the conclusion of the program
a short patriotic address was given by
the worthy master of Putnam Grange
Mrs. Dorothy j. Bartlett, and then an
appetizing luncheon was served by
young lady members, which was pre-
pared bv an efficient committee head
ed bv Mrs. Alice Kennedy, with W.
] BARTLETT coaxing the flavor out OF
the coffee beans in his usual success
full manner. A grand march was
formed after the spread, and after
presenting some complicated and in
genious maneuvers, the participants
turned their attention to a session OF
waltzes. and other popular fancy
dances.
1t was morning before some of the
people got home.

California Congressman Says
People Must Cooperate
With Government

Congressman Julius Kahn OF Cali
I fornia, senior member OF the Military
Affairs Committee OF the House, in a
ington, reviews briefly some OF the
problems confronting the government
In postwar finance and urges the
country to help congress hold down
taxes. He said:
How is the United States going to
pay her war debts which are now be-
ginning to food the nations treasury
The outflow OF public funds today is al
most on par with the expenditures
made while the war was raging. Al
though there are no more munitions or
implements OF war to be purchased
the engines OF destruction which Amer.
lean factories created to bring about
the downfall of the imperial govern
ment OF Germany have not all been
paid for Then there are the heavy
expenditures incident to readjusting
the world from a war to a peace basis.
Reconstruction Cost Heavy.
1T is no news to students of history
to be told that the expenses OF post
war reconstruction have always been
as great and many times greater than
the actual war outlay. Food must be
shipped to our boys who are still on
foreign soil. Money must be raised
TO further projects having 10 do with
fitting these noble heroes of ours with
suitable occupations. Those who have
been MANNED must not be made to
come into competition with the sound.
Where is the money to come from?
The people themselves, although they
lent patriotic and wholehearted sup
port to the governments war program
and made unprecedented sacrifices.
keenly felt the effect of the taxes inn
posed in the revenue bill such as they
had never faced before and would have
not submitted to except In view OF ex-
traordinary circumstances. Now that
the war Is over we must find some
way OF raising money to finance the
various necessary projects confronting
the nation
People Must Cooperate.
The people must cooperate. and they
can cooperate without paying heavy
taxes. They can continue TO invest In
War Savings Stamps. Liberty Bonds
and other government securities. and
help the government by helping them
selves.
