STATE REDUCES HAIL
INSURANCE ONE.HALF

With the hail season over, Commits
sioner Of Insurance Olsness reports;
that there are more than 1900 claim
ants for hail losses under the new hair
insurance law. These will total some-
thing like $1,000. 900. 1t is believed,
when adjustments are completed. It
is now definitely known that this In
surance will not cost more than 35
cents an acre, and will probably be
less than that. Private insurance un-
der the same circumstances and on
the same valuations would be 20 cents
an acre.

Horse meat is likely to be on the
market in appreciate quantities
shortly A report has been received
at the Department of Agriculture
from Billings, Mont, that the initial
shipment of lot of about 1000 range
horses has been received for slaugh-
ter. A report from New Mexico says
that $4,000 range horses in that state
should be slaughtered.
An agricultural journal, recently
commenting on the slaughter of hors-
es for meat, said that the elimination
of undesirable horses not only will
save feed for more worthy cattle and
sheep. but will add hides to the leath-
er supply and increase meat stocks.
Department of Agriculture experts
say that hides from range horses that
have lived in the open should, be of
excellent quantity.

INSURANCE INCREASED ON PUB
Lie BUILDINGS

At the regular meeting of the Sc
lectmen Monday evening it was voted
TO increase the insurance on public
buildings This includes the municip-
al building on Church street and the
public schools. The business is TO be
divided between the insurance agents
of the city.
The town school board has had the
matter under Amusement for some
time. If one Of the buildings should be
destroyed by fire there would be a
considerable loss owing to the ad-
vaneed cost it would entail to replace
such buildings now while labor and
material is so high The amount Of
insurance in some cases has been
nearly doubled. while in others it has
been increased fifty per cent as a
safeguard to the taxpayers.

In TROUBLE AGAIN
Aged Inmate of Town Farm
Went to Worcester, But
Returned
Finds Fault With Treatment.-Se
lectman Says William Doesn't
Behave

William Brennan, an aged inmate
of the Putnam town farm, spent Sat
urday night and Sunday at the police
station He was not under arrest,

and was accommodated.
A year or two ago Brennan appear

Brennan told the police that he had
been badly treated at the farm. He
said he left there and went to Wor-
eester to see his daughters, but that
they would not receive him. He COM
planned of the food at the farm and
of the way he was abused.
. When asked about the case one of
the seleetmen said Tuesday morning
that he knew all about it. That Bren-
nan had used abusive language and
was unruly and had made insulting
remarks to the superintendent and
the superintendent wife and that he
was consistently picking. quarrels
with other inmates, The matter came
20 a climax one day last week when
the selectmen ordered Brennan lock
ed in his ROOM After he had been
there two days he was released and
then left the farm.
The selectman said that all inmates
of the farm are well treated by both
Superintendent Hill and his wife and
that they get good wholesome food
three times day. IF anyone does
mt believe the inmates are served
good food" said the selectman, let
them drop in at meal time any day
| They don't need to let the superin
tendent know they are coming, but
Just drop in Unexpectedly and se'
what kind of food is on the table"
Both Mr. and Mrs. Hill are givins
entire satisfaction and the farm is be
ing well conducted AS Brennan ha
been doing some talking on the stree
regarding his treatment it is well tina

D. A. r. PILGRIMAGE
TO LEBANON
Members Visit Historic Spots
In Historic Old Town
Five Revolutionary Soldiers Buried
In One Tomb

One of the most enjoyable pilgrim
ages that Elizabeth Porter Putnam
Chapter has ever taken was made last
Saturday. Leaving Putnam at 1890
q. m, twenty-four of the Daughters
went by automobile to Lebanon,
where they were cordially welcomed
at the church, by Mr.. Campbell, the
Congregational pastor, and his wife.
The ladies of the church served de-
licious hot coffee. That, together
with the bountiful lunch brought
from home, soon made all feel ready
for the afternoon of sight seeing. Mr.
Campbell spoke of the historic places
in the village, and of the famous men
who were born and lived there. Then
he guided the Daughters to Red
woods" where the French officers
were quartered during their stay at
Lebanon. The home of Gov. Jonathan
Trumbull was visited This place has
been given to the Connecticut Society
of Daughters of the American Revo-
luton.
The old War Office was a place of
much interest, for here, over eleven
hundred meetings were held by the
Committee of Safety, during the Rev
olution.
Governor Buckingham was born at
Lebanon, and his home was also visit
ed Lastly the tomb of Governor
Jonathan Trumbull was seen. Within
its walls are buried five Revolutionary
soldiers.
OF especial interest was the Leban-
on Pilgrimage to Mrs. Alice Douty,
one of the Daughters, for she is the
great, great, great, great granddaugh-
ter. of Gov. Jonathan Trumbull. The
beautiful autumn weather, and the
historic places visited will make the
day one to be remembered long by
those who were present.

BIPLANE 5000 FEET OVER PUT

The whirring of a powerful motor
heard at 1850 Saturday morning
caused people of Putnam to look sky

background they saw an aeroplane
gracefully making its way out of the
east. Putnam Heights residents saw
it first and telephoned friends to look
at it.
The plane was a biplane type and
came slowly, nose to the wind, from
the direction of Rhode Island 1t APP
peared that the pilot was trying to
get his bearings and apparently he
spotted the railroad line, for he head

upon changing his course. 1t was es-
timated that the plane was 5000 feet

lore Of which Miss Finch is the most
distinguished exponent Her scholar
ly research and discrimination have
brought together a wealth of material
recognized by critics and scholars as
the nucleus Of what is purest in the
expression and literary output OF
race fast losing its traditional and dis
tinctive quality.
Transmitted through Miss Finch's
dramatic power, Illuminated by her
sympathetic imagination, colored by
the intimate knowledge she has been
at such pains to acquire these stories
and songs are rare, poetic, humorous,
epic, and, withal of solemnity that
prevails over the occasional absurdi
ties and grotesqueries incident to
their elemental quality.
The opportunity to hear Miss Finch
is one not to be missed, and the cause

kind of fruit.
There is much fruit in this section

waste. If the grower will give some
of his surplus to the hospital it will
be gladly received. If it is not pos
sible to deliver the fruit at the hos
pital means of getting it there viii be
provided if notification is given.
