Air Patrols Check
 Raid For Mexico

Austin, Texas, Oct. 1-American army airplanes patrolling the Texas Mexican border have done more than any other one thing to check raids into the United States by Mexican bandits from across the Rio Grande, according to Captain Jerry Grey of the Texas Rangers, who has been sta tioned in the Big Bend district.
 The Big Bend district is considered "the worst section of the border" Captain Grey sad, but the Mexican outlaws "have learned to dread the speed and observing power of men in planes" The alarms get to the army posts and the cavalry and rangers turn out too quick now to make raid ing across the border as safe and lu- cratiye as in former days.

MORE LEGISLATION TO

Washington, Ovt. Additional legislation recommended by President Wilson as means of reducing living costs was passed today by the house and sent to the senate. It would limit the time of holding foodstuffs in cold storage to 12 months and require that when released such food be plainly marked with the date 1t was placed in storage.
 The vote on the measure was 264 to 4. The regulatory features of the bill will become effective immediately on it's passage but 90 days for an ad- justment of the business affected is allowed before penalties will be ap- plicable.
 Vast quantities of food now in stor- age are expected to be released as soon as the measure becomes law
 Persons convicted of violating the law would be fined $1 000 or imprison- ment for one year.

Kirby Discusses
 Lumber Situation

Houston, Texas, Oct. 1.-Curtaik ment of the production of lunber is ascribed by John Henry KRiirby, presi- dent of the National Lunber Manu- lecturers association, to reduction in hours of employment, enforced through governmental action, ineffi- erency of operation and depletion of timber reserves.
 MT. Kirby, whose home is in Hous. ton, declared in a formal statement that the present production of lum- Der is less than so per cent of the pre- war capacity, and stocks at home and abroad have been depleted to such an extent that Europe is suffering for want of material"
 Stocks at home, MT. Kirby said, "when expressed in feet, and not in dollars, are less than one-half of what they were before the war There is no price on lumber except what deal CTS and consumers are willing to pay"
 Amendments to the antitrust laws to permit the different compan- ies to stabilize prices by agreement would be beneficial" Mr Kirby con Iinued, adding, however, that he was not in favor of the government fixing prices except in time of war
 Referring to the present cost of lumber, MT. Kirby declared the in- crease in it's price since January, 1913, has been only 63 per cent, while the increase in the price of general commodities, he said, has been 99 per cent.

SIXTY DEER KILLED
According to Reports Received in
State Since January

Sixty deer have been killed in this
state since January l, according to
reports received by the state fish and
game commission. In the opinion of
the commissioners, this number re-
ported is only small percentage, GER
tainly not more than half, of the deer
killed during the last eight months,
many cases not being reported at all.
There have been comparatively few
reports, ON the other hand, of destruc-
ton of crops by deer this year. al
though previously the annual damage
totaled thousands of dollars. 1t is
believed that the new law giving
farmers authority to use the shotgun
whenever deer are in the act of de-
stroying fruits or growing crops has
operated to reduce the number of
deer and the number of complaints.
Such killing or wounding must be re-
ported within twelve hours.
The greatest number killed was IL
in New London county. Windham
county is second with eleven.

MANHASSET TEAM HANGS UP
BASE BALL RECORD
Took 1S Innings to Beat Whitinsville

There were two games for one adj
mission. No, there wasn't either, but
there was an eighteen inning game
PLAYED on the Manhasset field last
Saturday afternoon when the local
team beat the Red Socks of Whitins-
vile by 4 to score. This is rec
ord for Putnam unless some old timer
comes forward with bigger story of
the old days.
The tieing run was made by Man.
hasset in the eighth and for ten more
innings the battle waged and darkness
was fast approaching when Boulay
made the circuit and broke up the
long session.
Both teams scored in the first. The
visitors hung up one in the first half
and Manhasset went them one better
in the last half In the fourth Whit
insville jumped into the lead by get
ting two over and in the eighth Man.
hasset was cheered when they brought
in the tieing run. Then for ten ex-
citing innings the teams were engaged
in real battle with the outcome in
doubt
The final act was run off when Bou-
lay laid down a scratch single and
purloined the second station. There
were two down and hit meant run
but Boulay thought it best to take a
chance and started for third and got
second steal to his credit as he land
ed safe. Benoit was up with two
strikes and it looked as if the electric
lights would have to be turned on or
the game called. The gift of the
game came from an unexpected quar-
ter. Benoit hit a little grounder
which pitcher Steele was slow in han
ding and the runner beat out the
throw and Boulay took the oppor-
tunity to bring in the winning run.

HARTFORD LADS PICKED UP AS
RUNAWAYS
Came to Putnam on a Truck.-Said
They Were Going to Worcester

Wearing little blouses, caps and
knickerbockers, two adventurous
young Americans from the capital
city of our great commonwealth came
all the way to Putnam on a tour of
the globe. They were born a long,
long, while ago-thirteen years, to be
exact-and had not seen much of our
great and glorious country, although
they have read tales about its glories
and excitements and have seen the
same depicted in the movies. They
thought they had reached an age
where they should be as old in expert
ence as in years, so on "Wednesday
when a large moving van passed by
their home in Hartford, they hoped
aboard in reckless manner and were
on their way, knowing not and caring
not where, just like any adventures.
They didn't even care if the truck
was attacked by Indians and would
have just welcomed aholdupby band
of outlaws, but nothing like that
happened. They reached Putnam and
found themselves still in a civilized
country, although they had Travelled
miles and miles.
At 1890 o'clock Thursday morn
ing the two youths were seen by Pa
trolman Duffy. 1t looked very much
as if they were waiting in the hope Of
continuing their journey on freight
train. They were questioned and
then taken to the police station for
safe keeping. They gave their names
as Adelore St. Laurant and Henry
Calls and both said they were thir-
teen years old They said they have
an aunt in Worcester and were on the
way to pay her surprise visit. The
Hartford police were communicated
with and notified the parents. In all
probability the last act will take place
in the woodshed when the lads get
back to the old home town.

ter signed by Nj. L. Randall for Mrs.
Wilcox:

them very lovely, and it was charm
ing thought for you to remember ner
in such a pleasant manner.
"While Mrs. Wilcox is greatly inn
proved in health since coming back to
America. she is still very i'll woman,.
and we are greatly concerned aboue
her. However, she is doing as well -
can be expected, and as the improve
ment has been so remarkable even IN
this short time, we hope for contin-
ued health and strength. and that she
will soon be her own self again"

INEBRIATE FARM MAY
BE DISCONTINUED
State Institution AT Norwich
Has But Twenty-Eight
Inmates

The state farm for inebriates at
Norwich may soon go out of business,
unless there is big increase ir the
number of imbibers sent to the insti-
tuition. At present there are only
twenty-eight inmates at the farm, the
lowest number since it was opened,
and the number is decreasing daily.
Since the closing of the saloons on
July /, there has been noticeable
falling off in the number of those
sent to the institution, and while at
one time, the courts were busy in
sending men to the farm to get the
liquor out of their systems, but very
few have been sentenced since July l.
most of those at the institution now
having been sent there previous to
wartime prohibition.
State officials are wondering
whether there will be any need Tor

eight leave the farm. At the rat.
they are being sent there now, there
will not be a bakers dozen, or an.

TAMPERED WITH

1t was stated in Danielson Tuesday
morning that there had been found
evidence of tampering with the tele-
phone boxes of the Shore Line Elec-
tric railway. These boxes are mount
ed ON poles near stations and at sid
ings along the right of way, and are
kept locked. In one case an instru-
ment was found disconnected. This
telephone service is exclusively for
the use of the railway. The fact that
the boxes are locked does not seem to
operate as a hindrance to tampering
with the telephone instruments and
their connections, it was stated here
on Tuesday by one who has come into
touch with the situation.
