THREE TIMES AND IN

John Foley. who has the distinction of being ridden to the police station in a wheelbarrow, transferred to the hospital and later to the town farm, and subsequently, arrested again on a charge of intoxication and fined, was before the court for the third time last Friday morning. His was the only case and it was the cause of converting court on the holiday morn ing.
 John was picked up on Buck street some months ago and when two men wheeled him to the police station 1t was found that his leg was broken. He was taken to the Day kimball hos pital and when he had sufficiently re- covered he was transferred to the town farm.
 Less than two weeks ago John got drunk again. but did not break his leg. He paid SlO to the court. He tried to get a sentence to the town farm last Friday, but his honor thought John had better try some other institution. so the county gets him until the world goes dry.

LACK OF POLLINATION WILL
 REDUCE FRUIT CROP

Fruit trees have bloomed very fully this spring with the possible excep- ton, perhaps, of cherries. but great many of these trees are not going to produce the full crops of fruit.
 In nearly all parts of the state when the trees were in bloom the weather was cool, and in some cases cold, rainy. damp weather has prevailed with only one or two days each week when the sun shone and 1t warmed up so that bees and other insects could work freely. The fruit bios some are not pollinated to any ex- tent except by insects. Bees partic- ularly are the chief agent of cross pollination, and they work best when the temperature Is above sixty de- grees.
 Consequently there is going to be large June Drop or natural thin ming of fruit, and in many eases from fifty to ninety per cent of the young fruit will drop from the trees. Many people will undoubtedly attribute this lack of fruit to some form of in- sect trouble or disease, but it is sim ply due to the unfertilization or non- pollination of the fruit blossom eaus- ed or due to the unreasonable weath- CT.
 Trees which would have produced full crop of fruit this year and have only scattering crop are very likely to have a crop of fruit next season.
 In the case of cherries and. pears the blossoms come out and look per fectly healthy. but in many cases the pistil or the stamens, in some cases both, have been killed by the weather previous to the time of blooming S.

RAN AWAY TO BECOME A DISH
 WASHER

4 pair of black eyes peerrd out through the bars of cell at the Put nam police station Monday morning. 4 Patriot reporter looked into those eyes, which belonged to fifteen year old Charles Goodrow. whom the po- lice had picked up on request of Wor- cester officers.
 The reporter asked Charles If he had started odt to see the world. The lad denied that adventure entered in- to his scheme of things, but said that he wanted to work and help his par ents. When Captain Bulger suggest ed to Charles that there were jobs in Worcester, Charles said that if that is SO he could not find one after many weary hours on the hunt.
 When asked how he happened to come to Putnam, he said that he has a cousin who IS a bell hop in local hotel and the cousin told of an oppor- tunity to make two dollars day as a dish washer, and the twelve per week appealed to Charles, and he set out to get 1t. He said he intended to send part of it home to help the fam ily. Charles denied that he was run away. for he said he told his grand father to tell his folks where he was going. The fifteen year old admitted that. as he said, years ago he left home once Now he is back in the Bay State city, where he was taken Monday afternoon by relative.

WOMAN CAUSES CoMMOTIoN ON
 SOUTH MEADOW STREET

On complaint of Mrs. Agnes Ukos- ka that Mrs. Antonia Lys had called her bad names, the woman was brought before the city court, Tues day morning, charged with breach of the peace.
 According to the testimony, the Lys woman charged the complainant with enticing her husband away. She called her vile names and disparaged her character. Witnesses said that she did this at the top of her voice so that crowd gathered. hooted, jeered and blew horns and made a great disturb ance last Sunday evening.
 The woman told a most improba- ble story to the court, so that there was some doubt that she looked at things through normal vision. One thing she said was that man held her for an hour and poupred whiskey down her throat. She told about the same things to the court that the wit nesses said she had told to the neigh borhood about Mrs Ukoska.
 Judge Geissler told Mrs. Lys that he did not believe her story, and said that he would continue the case and that if there were any more com plaints of a similar nature she would be sent to jail.
 The Lys family has lived in Putnam for some years and Mrs. Lys is known as a hard working woman with a fam fly of six children, the youngest IS months old.

''To stick like limpet'' is an old say
ing, but few people know how it is
that a limpet is able to stick as it does
to the rocks upon which it passes its
existence. The creature is able by
means of the central portion Of its
body, which can be raised independ-
emily of the edge or frill which sur
rounds it, to create vacuum, much
in the same way that piece of soft
wet leather can be made to adhere
to smooth surface by pressing out
all the air. If taken by surprise with
q smart sidelong blow. even a large
limpet is easily enough dislodged, but,
given the slightest warning. its power
of suction is instantly brought into
play, and very often considerable
force is then necessary to detach it.

The MAKING OF
A FAMOUS
MEDICINE
How Lydia z. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound
Is Prepared For
Woman's Use.

A visit TO the laboratory where this
successful remedy is made impresses
even the casual looker-on with the reli-
ability, accuracy, skill and cleanliness
which attends the making of this great
medicine for woman's ills.
Over $50, 900 pounds of various herbs
are used annually and all have to be
gathered at the season of the year when
their natural juices and medicinal SUBJ
stances are at their best.
The most successful solvents are used
to extract the medicinal properties from
these herbs.
Every utensil and tank that comes in
contact with the medicine is sterilized
and as final precaution in cleanliness
the medicine is pasteurized and sealed
In sterile bottles.
1t is the wonderful combination of
roots and herbs, together with the
skill and care used in its preparation
which has made this famous medicine
SO successful in the treatment Of
female ills.
The letters from women who have
been restored to health by the use Of
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound which we are continually pub
fishing attest to its virtue.

HAY CROPS FOR LIVE STOCK
Many Farmers Unmlndful Of Neces-
sity of Providing for Fall and
Winter Feeding.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture)
The high price of rough feed en-
phasizes the necessity of all farmers
planting a sufficient acreage of sum-
mer forage crops to enable them to
provide themselves with hay and
other roughages for their live stock
during the coming year. With the
abundance of pasture available in the
springtime farmers oftentimes are I'M
mindful of the necessity of providing
for that period during the fall when
pasture will be dry, or during the win
ter when there will be no feed avail
able.
The county agents should be con-
suited with reference to the available
ity of seed. Where outside purchases
have to be made the order should be
placed at once, so that the seed may
be on hand to SOW when the soil is in
good condition and the season is not
too far advanced.

county agents should be consulted
with reference to best crops for local
conditions, method of planting and
quantity of seed per acre to be used
in different localities.

the vegetative growth of the plant by
cutting the corn roots In early cultiva-

Corn is cultivated to prevent weeds
from robbing the corn of soil moisture
and fertility, to put the surface in the
best condition to absorb rainfall, to
warm the soil by drying its surface
quickly, and to save moisture by check

Corn should be cultivated often
