BY A 70 TO 1 VOTE
A. f. OF l.. INDORSES LEAGUE
OF NATIONS
Will Bring Light to Lives of Foreign
Workers and Will Not Reduce
Standards OF Labor in
United States

Atlantic City, N. J.-By approx
mately a 70-to-1 vote the A. F. of l..
convention indorsed the league of
nations. President Gompers was the
last speaker in a spirited debateA
The A. F. of l.. executive admitted
that some Of the provisions of the
league were not perfect, but it was
the greatest instrument yet devised
for the prevention of war. He caused
to be read a message sent through
the White House by President Will
son, who was in Belgium at the time,
admitting that the labor provisions
of the league care somewhat weak
ened," but that the changes are not
material and that the instrument
"will constitute a most serviceable
magma charta."
81 do not contend" said President
Gompers, "that this covenant will
bring much light into the life Of
labor in this, the most progressive
country in the world, but it will
bring light into the lives Of the work
ers Of the more backward countries.
1t will certainly not reduce the
standards Of American labor. Every
labor organization condemns war and
advocates peace. How is war to be
prevented, except by agreement. l
am not afraid of the future, and when
any movement is started to prevent
war | am not going to turn my back
on it.
"What have you if this league of
nations is defeated? Defeat it, and
every nation will be compelled to
arm itself and compete with each
other. | do not say that this coven-
ant is perfect. Who can make a
perfect covenant? But these men
who represent nations that want to
end war have sat down and drafted
an instrument that will make wal
difficult.
at is, therefore, essential that we
should see to it that the best pos
sibIe relations are established by
agreements that we shall live in
peace. | am confident that, if this
convention indorses the covenant with
labor it will give impetus to oul
country to ratify it,"

OHIO SETS NEW RECORD
In WAR STAMP SALES

Columbus, O.-(Special)-War
Savings Stamp sales in Ohio for
the first four months of 1919 were
nearly double that of any other
state in the nation Ohio during
the first quarter sold more Sav,
ings Stamps than all the New Eng
land states together with New
Jersey, New York and Massachu-
setts. Sales in Ohio for the first
four months were equal to the
sales in 19 southern, western and
eastern states and nearly one
fourth of the total sales in the
nation.
Second to Ohio is Illinois, with
Pennsylvania ranking third; New
York is fourth, Missouri fifth and
Massachusetts sixth. Ohio's i'm
mense sales mean that amount Of
money saved and gives the state
a better financial rating. Contin-
ued prosperity is insured.

WHAT TWO MHLIONAIRES KNOWN in
PUTNAM DID TO HELP WIN THE WAR

There have been many stories of
what young men Of means reaching
into millions did for the country in
its time of need. There are no mil
lionaires in Putnam, but there are
two that are close by and known to
our citizens. Both came up to the
requirements of 100 per cent. Ameri-
cans, although neither succeeded in
getting across.
Here are two stories told about
these men. The first is about young
Louis M. Ream of Thompson, who
was recently married to a Thompson
girl. The second is of Louis L. Lor-
lizard, Jr., who has spent several
summers at the Ben Grosvenor. Pom
fret, and is familiar figure in Put
MANS business section, where his
democratic character has made him
many friends and acquaintance.

and people looked him over as the
multi-milionaire aviator. But as
soon as he could get into overalls and
jumper in hanger, where there was
plenty of work, he was happy. Now
adays, they don't point out Louis
Ream as the man who has 100000
600; they recall him as the first bat
tleplane pilot to circle Chesapeake
bay in a hydroplane that got its start
off the deck of battleship.
The way Ream does his flying, is
from a platform of planks, supported
by the long necks of two 20-mile guns
of the forward turret battery pointed
over the bow. The guns extend fully
80 feet beyond the turret and lie al
most parallel The wooden platform
is built on the guns and the aviator
sends his battleplane scooting down
this platform as fast as he can drive
it. 1t is only 30-foot run at most,
not anywhere near as long a start as
the ariplane fellows need to get the
air under them. By the time Ream
is at the end of the platform, his ma
chine is ready to soar and he drives
the nose up in a long spiral until he
reaches flight elevation, where he
flies on a level above the ships.
He acts as lookout, for squadron.
has practieed dropping bombs, and
likes the work. His income of $3.50
a day does not bother him.

Louis Marshall Ream

Louis Marshall Ream does not let
his income of 100000 a year bother
him. He is still in the naval flying
service, and has won his commission.
not through pull, but by sheer merit
He is Lieut.. Marshall Ream now and
he wears the spread wings and the
propeller of a fight officer of the
United States navy.
People who predicted that his for
tune of S10,000,000 left by his ia
Their, Norman B, Ream, Chicago steel
man, would be tremendous handi-
cap to the young man if he tried to
amount to anything, were wrong. The
U. S. A. gives just as good a chance
to a multi-millionaire young man as
it does to a chap without 81, provid-
er he's got the stuff in him.
Ream has the stuff, and friends
predict that he is due for further adj
vancement if he stays in the service.
Ream has every chance in the world
to increase his fortune in business, as
he is serious minded, practical
young man, and understands the wire
business. but he is interested in the
hydroplane end of the navy and may
stick to it. His record is as good as
if he entered the service without the
drawback of an immense fortune.
Naval men agree that it is easier for
a capable young fellow without mon
ey or pull to go ahead in the navy
than for a chap with thick bankroll
and hosts of influential friends. But
to the credit of this young multi-mii-
lionaire it must be said that he has
won his way to a commission by sheer
merit and with the handicap of rich
es. It's record that only man with
a level head could achieve.
Lieut.. Ream is staying with the
game, and is one of the flight officers
of the battleship squadron on the At
lantic station He qualified for wa.
ter plane months ago, and became
one of the nerviest aviators in the
service.
On account of the vast fortune
that is his, he was told that the life
of a professional war fier is always
in danger and he might have got into
branch where there is not as much
risk. He might have had a soft SNAP
in a Washington bureau, with rank
of captain, if he wanted it. Ream
however, wanted to do a mans share
in the war, and he took hold of the
battleplane end of the project, as il
was the least crowded.
He has perfected one or two little
features on planes that showed his
superiors he has an inventive mind.
At first, in Washington, he was
