4 Sign Of Prosperity

A reflection of the large volume OF
business being done by retailers
throughout the country is seen in the
statement of the National Cash Regis
ter Company that its business last
March was 80 per cent greater than
that of any previous month in the
thirty-fve years of the history of the
company. This great increase is said
to be due mostly to the sales of modern
cash register equipment to department

Brisk Buying Sends Up
Price of Japanese Silk

rather brisk yesterday, and the price
of Shinshiu No. l advanced about 10
cents pound in the local market.
Some of the advices received from
Yokohama indicated that the visible
supply had decreased to 10000 bales
owing to heavy buying. 1t was init
mated that the light stock had en-
abled japanese interests to manipu-
late the market. 1t was estimated
that $4,000 bales were likely to be re-
ceived from the interior of Japan be-
tween now and June 80 next. Exports
from Japan since July /, 1918, to date
were placed at 100000 bales.

 The board of the Putnam library long since planned to separate books at the institution into two general classes-one for adults, the other for children. With this idea in view, the board secured from the selectmen permission to use an additional room at the municipal building. This was to have been the childrens rooms, where the children's books would be available. The plan included an ar l engagement to prevent children reading books of the library that it would be well for them not to read, though the same books might with perfect safety be made available for adults. The de velopment of war workers organiza- tions in the city and the furnishing Of some space at the municipal building 1 for their use made the temporary 1 abandonment of this plan necessary. | The board of directors of the libra | ry welcomes. as it has in the past, suggestion and criticism, but it is at least entitled to suggest that the crit 1 icism be constructive.
