How a Sucker" Was Saved

A city man got very glowing
circular from Chicago "devel.
opment company" offering him
10 acres of land in Florida for
the surprisingly small sum Of
$780, ''peanut unit" the
circular called it. He could grow,
the circular said, thousand
bushels of peanuts on his 10 acres
and could sell the peanuts-al
lowing for low prices--at 81 a
bushel. The city man was I'm.
pressed but he sent the circular
TO the United States Department
of Agriculture with a query as
To whether or not the investment
was good one. Following are
some sentences from the letter
he got IN reply: "The literature
is of the kind designed to deceive
city people IN the North and
West who do not know anything
about farming" "The average
return from 10 acres of peanuts
would not exceed $500 to $500"
"You could buy a 100. acre farm
in almost any Of the counties of
western Florida, including the
one mentioned in the circular,
for the price these people ask for
10 acres" "The whole unit sys.
tenn, whether it is pecans, peach
es, figs, cane, peanuts, hogs, or
what not, is simply means of
selling land at three TO five times
what it is worth to ignorant or
unwary small investors. ''To
pay $4,000 for this 10 acres of
land would STAINS you as a suck
err of the rankest class" CAN
this is without rejecting in any
way on Florida, for it is a good
State and lands are comparative.

GOVERNOR FIRM
Will Not Call Special Session to Vote
 On Suffrage Amendment

Governor Marcus II. Holcomb on Monday notified suffragist proponents that his original decision not to call a special session of the legislature to act on the national suffrage amend ment would stand.
 Reluctant to have the suffrage question in Connecticut settled with out reference to the people and stil3 unable to perceive a special emer- gency requiring it's hurried disposal, Governor Holcomb pointed out that the voters of the state will be- more properly represented in the decision if made by members of legislative session elected on that issue.
 Present members of the General Assembly had an opportunity in the proposed suffrage amendment to the state constitution, wrote the govern or, to allow vote of the people on the subject, but they refused by de- feet;-@ the amendment, The execu- tive then answered each of the req sons advanced for the calling of a special session. Action on the trolley situation, considered by the last regu- lar session, could be taken, he said, only under circumstances inviting vio- lation of the constitutional limit for legislative sessions, while the argu- ment that it would be wise to join the majority in bringing about the ''inev- itable' could hardly be considered to create the special emergency re- auired by the constitution for the call. ing of an extra session. The con ! tention that the national conventions of the major political parties had de clared for woman suffrage was me' by the governor with a statement thal neither of them advocated its adop tions except by vote of the people oi the states.
 Notification by the governor of hi declination to call special sessioi was sent to Senator Arthur E. Bow
 CTS, leader of the legislative delega
 tion that waited upon the executive
 and Livingston W. Cleaveland of New Haven, who headed delegation of re
 publieans on the same mission.

PUTNAM LOST TO AMERICAN
 OPTICAL TEAM
EyexI.s. Maker. Hold Batting Fest

The American Optical team of Southbridge won it's last home game of the season last Sunday and it was the Putnam team that the stunt was pulled off on. The final score was Is to ', the worst beating the local team has received this season. Nineteen hits by the Optical sluggers throws some light on how the game was won. Putnam connected safely but nine times.
 Paul Johnson. the clever Worcester outfelder. playing for Putnam, re- ceived fine ovation when he first stepped to the plate, for he is still a favorite with the Southbridge fans. He made several valiant attempts to hit safely, meeting the ball squarely each time, but was only able to se- cure single safe hit, terrific smash which Dresser, the Optical shortstop, knocked down but could not field in time. Johnson contributed several sensational catches and his work in the box after the fifth inning, when he relieved Walsh, caused many of the fans to sit up and take notice.
 Derosiers, with three singles and a triple in five trips to the rubber, starred with the stick, while Phillips home run drive to deep center was the batting feature for the visitosr.

 RECOGNITION
Linotype Operator Composes and Sets a Bit of Publicity That Gets Favorable Com ment.
Called to Attention of Trade Journa
 By Friend Souvenir

Last month The Patriots publicity campaign was augmented by the lino- type operator, C. L. Adams, who com posed an attractive advertisement, setting it on the linotype without copy The ad gained the attention of Souvenir" William H. Taylor of Hartford and he sent it to the Nation al Printer-J journalist, a trade paper published in Chicago. The editor of the paper thought so favorably of it that he reproduced it and made favor able comment on it. The magazine had the following notice of the ad.
 An Excellent Advertisement
 The following is an advertisement that appeared in the Putnam Patriot of August 15, kindly sent to the Ma tional Printer-J journalist by Wm H. Souvenir" Taylor of Hartford. The advertisement was centered in white space and was most pleasing in typo graphical appearance.
 About this time" as the Almanac says. the world is full of pessimism Some people are pessimistic all the time, with others it is catching While it is true that just at present things are topsy-turvy, there is light showing on the horizon.
 Railroad shopmen will go back to work, trains will soon be running on schedule time, trolleys will soon be with us again, prices of foodstuffs will be given push downward by Govern ment action, radical labor leaders will lose their influence with saner members of labor organizations, and while no one looks for costs and pric- es to return to pre-war levels, there must be readjustment that will per init of compatible wage and price to be paid.
 Vacation time will soon be over, and then down .c business. And the point of this column is that The Pa triot has not been influenced unduly by the circumstances of the past few months. It has been looking on the bright side. Paper has gone up, ink has gone up, and some other costs have increased, but the office has gone on the even tenor of its way, and getting ready for the volume of busi- ness which is ever increasing and will continue to increase.
 Get ready for your fall and winter business, which is going to be big just as soon as employers and employees know where they stand. Start ad- vertising for fall and winter trade Stock up on office stationery and ad- vertising leaflets.
 The Patriot is the proven best ad- vertising medium in this vicinity. Its ads are ''doped out" painstakingly by experienced workmen, and care taken in giving the best typographical effect, its job printing department is better prepared than ever to turn out ar tistic work
 Prices are not inflated. and while we cannot quote the same as last year" on all work, the price is in ac- cordance with quality and conditions, and you may be sure of good treat ment
 Start now for fall and winter busi- ness.
