H. (. GREENLAW
 HAS RESIGNED
Has Been Agent of Grosvenor-
 Dale Company Two Years

Nirth Grosvenor-Dale- c. Green law, for nearly two years agent of the Grosvenor-Dale Company. rendered his resignation on Tuesday.
 His successor will be John F. Rear don of Fall River, who was also his predecessor.
 Mir. Greenlaw succeeded Mir. Rear don as agent in July. 1917, and dur ing his stay in North Gresvenor-Dale has made many friends as his demo- cratic manner attracted men to him. The reason for his resignation is not stated.
 Mir. Reardon was agent of the com pany four and a half years. He left in July, 1917, and the two villages took holiday that may be seen in the archives as "Reardon Day" It was a day of regrets and lauditory ad- dresses and remarks, for Mir. Reardon had made himself popular with all classes of citizens, including the hun dreds of employees in the big mills.
 As there has to be a change on ac- count of Mir. Greenlaw's resignation, there is rejoicing in the villages that Mir. Reardon is to return rather than some stranger.

SENEXET GRANGE

At the last regular meeting of Sen exet Grange, May 21, good num- Der of members were present, but owing to the rain only few visitors came. The first on the program was san illustrated lecture on 'School Im- provements." This is a lecture pre- pared by the State Board of Educa- tion showing the great need of good sanitation, proper lighting, and large playgrounds in our rural schools. The pictures clearly showed how these conditions had been improved in many of the rural schools in Connee- ticut.
 The lecture was followed by talks by Francis E. Harrington, Clarence H. Child and Wallace S. Hall. Mir. Harrington spoke on the benefit Woodstock would receive from the acts passed by the legislature during the session so recently adjourned. MT. Child referred to several of the educational matters that were taken up before the educational committee the past winter. MT. Hall spoke on the relation of the grammar school to the high schooi.s&
 "Woodstock Academy" and 'Fair Woodstock" were sung by the Acad- emy Alumni. This was followed by two solos by Owen White.
 Nearly forty members of Senexet enjoyed very pleasant evening with the Quinnatisset Grange Tuesday, May 20.
 The next meeting of Senexet Grange, June 3, will be one of inter- est, as Miss Embleton will give talk on the results of her work. After the program there will be touring car lunch party. Each lady is to bring lunch for two.

WHO IN

ming to hear the ringing of the fire alarm.
 There came lull in the series of fires and the city began to quiet down. As time went on the nope of bringing to justice the fire fends died away, and citizens thought that the matter had been dropped as hopeless mys- tery. There was, however, an official of the state police, since been pro- noted to captain, who did not give up. He was working indefatiguably and running to earth every possible clew. He never left the trail and on September 9th, 1913, armed with a bench warrant signed by Judge Mar GUS H. Holcomb, now governor of the state, he placed both young men un- der arrest on a complaint charging ar son in IA counts for eight different fires. The young men were arraign- ed before Judge Holcomb, pleaded not guilty, and were sent to jail in de- fault of s10,O00 bonds each for ap- pearance for trial.
 The trial began in Willimantic, Tuesday morning, November 4, 1919, and was one of the most sensational

HOPE FOR STREET IMPROVE.
 MENT

Temporary repairs are being made on South Main and Grove streets. Gravel and tar is the combination us ed to fill up the many holes
 A survey of these streets has re- gently been made and it is hoped that the state will soon begin making per manent improvements. Once these streets are put in condition, Putnam will be approachable from all sides on good macadam streets.
 The state department IS also talk ing of building road from West Thompson trolley station in direct line northward to Grosvenor-Dale, Such a highway would follow close to the trolley track as now operated and would eliminate two bad grade cross ings between Putnam and Webster, and would also cut off quite little distance of travel.

DRIVE FOR DIS
 TRICT NURSE ASSN.
Members Will Be Solicited Next Week By Systematic
 Canvass.

Next week is Dollar Week for the Putnam District Nursing Associa- ton. The membership drive starts Monday morning and the fee is but one dollar. The city will be divided into wards which will each be worked by 8 captain and assistants. Alex snder Gilman is the chairman and Mrs. G. Harold Gilpatric will act as treasurer. A feature of the drive will be five minute talks at the thea tre by Rev James Potter, Rev. G. c. s. AacKay and Dr. Lamarche. Later the different organizations in the city will be appealed to.
 Many people do not take enough personal interest in the matter to know the valuable work being done by the district nurse. They are will ing to leave it to few to look out for and are satisfied to let it go at that But in order to keep the work going funds are needed and it is for that that the membership drive has been inaugurated. The recent report of the medical supervisor of schools that less than 50 per cent of the pu- pills in Putnam schools were physical ly normal, is evidence in itself that a close watch and supervision must be kept in order that future generations will remain hardy Americans. The district nurse co-operates with the medical supervisor and part of her time is devoted to this work.

While People Had Thought Case Had Been Given Up By Officers, Hurley Was Forg. ing the Chain That Led to Confessions of Guilt.

At last Captain Robert T. Hurley has opened his lips after nearly six years of silence and has told how he worked up the Putnam arson cases back in 1913 that caused the arrest and conviction of Frank E. Howarth, then a member of the bar, and Lind len Cain, then superior court messen- ger.
 No person who lived in Putnam at that time will ever forget the reign of terror caused by series of fires, which included the big fire of the Wheaton Building & Lumber Com pany, when property loss of $15O,- 900 resulted and IA families were made homeless. At the time armed guards patrolled the city and citizens slept but ftfully, expecting any eve

NOW AFTER SENATORS
Pleased at Congressmen's Vote.-N.
 w. P. Hard at Work

: The members of the National Wo- mans Party in Connecticut are mak- ing last attempt to win over one or both of the Connecticut Senators to vote for the Federal Suffrage amend ment when it comes up fin the senate. 1t is well known that the votes of Senator Mclean and Senator Brande- gee are not needed for the carrying of the amendment. The conversion of Senators Reyes and Hale-both New England senaters-came after Senator Harris, and supplied the on- ly vote actually necessary, so that the count without any further conver- sions stands 66 to 30. But there is a strong feeling that Connecticut wo- men dislike to owe their enfranchise- ment wholly to the men of other states They do not want Conneeti- cut men to be in the position of de- nying to their women what other states are so freely giving.
 The senate is expected to act very soon on the amendment, but that body rarely shows the haste that char acterized the house The house pass ed the amendment even before all the members of the Woman Suffrage committee had been properly appoint ed. The members elect were consult ed and allowed to join in the reports when the amendment was presented to the house. But the measure was actually ready for house action even before the presidents message, with it's recommendation to pass it, was read to congress.
 The three congressman who voted for the amendment-Representatives Merritt, Freeman and Lonergan- have been receiving many letters of and thanks from wo- men of the state. It was particularly gratifying to the Democratic women that Congressman Lonergan at last ranged himself on their side. Con- gressman Glynn, who voted for the last year, was absent, and Congressman Tilson was the only Connecticut man who remained un- and who voted aganist na- tional woman suffrage. Before the vote was taken, Mir. Mann, chairman of the Woman Suffrage committee, that there were 30l votes pledged. There were actually 3O4 cast for it. The conversion of Con gressman Longworth of Ohio was to most people, but MT. Mann had been told of his intention to sup port the amendment. It therefore seems probable that Congressman Lonergan was one of the three whose votes had not been counted by MT. Mann.

TWELVE THOUSAND NEEDED

Only $12,000 more is needed to make the total of $25, ,000 which must be raised if an equal amount is to be secured from the state for additions and improvements at the Day kimball hospital.
 No one in close touch with the hos pital and it's affairs but what realizes the great need of more room. For months the institution has been over taxed and cots have been put in many available places at different times so that no sufferer might have to be turned away.
 Those in charge of collections are confident that the money will be rais- ed if everyone will help. It is a home institution and the fund will be spent where it will be a benefit for Wind ham county.

GRANGE DANCE

There was very good attendance and an extra enjoyable time at the Grange dance in Odd Fellows hall Monday evening. An orchestra fur nished splendid music that kept the dancers on edge for more all through the evening, and it was with reluct- ance that the dancers, young and old, left the hall. The committee respon- sible for the pleasurable evening was headed by Miss Pauline Lucier.
