DEAR WINNIE

Putnam people were particularly fortunate this week, for at the Victory Theatre was shown one of the finest achievements of the motion picture. It was "Evangeline," Henry Longfel- lows immortal love epic. a poem fa- miliar to all Americans It is one of the grandest works in American litera- ture. The picture itself was truly beautiful, with magnificent photog- raphy and georgeous pictures of the sea. As a drama it was beautifully done, pathetic, sublime. In truth it was Longfellow's poem, living. Some thing l have often wondered, and a thing many other readers of Evange- line have, too, is whether or not the tale of Evangeline is true. And what do you think? Right here in Putnam is the answer. Frederick J. Daniels of Ring street has letter written his father years ago by Longfellow, in which he says that the story of Evan geline is one of his own invention, on- iy the expulsion of the Acadians being historical. Let me quote the letter, so that you can read it for yourself:
 Cambridge, Mass. Feb. IA. 1882 Dear Sir
 In reply to your letter l would in- form you that the poem Evangeline is only so far historical as it is based on the fact of the dispersion of the Acadians. The story itself is tra- dition-the details and the name are of my own invention. Please send me a copy of your book on the Huguenots in the Nipmuek Country, for which l will send you the price mentioned
 Yours very truly.
 Henry W. Longfellow.
 MT. Daniels father, then resident of Oxford, was the author of 1.-The Huguenots in the Nipmuck Country" which book Longfellow mentioned in the letter. This work has an introduc- tion by Oliver Wendell Holmes, and MT. Daniels has several of the letters written by MT. Holmes to his father.
 In addition to these he has valuable letters from other noted Americans written in compliment of the book, attesting to its value as an histori- cal work There are letters from Richard Olney, secretary of state; Senator Hoar of Worcester, as well as many others. think this all so inter- esting. don't yoa?

NUMBER TWO
SNYDER LOSES TO sLATON

snyder lost the first game to sla-
ton Wednesday in a score OF to
2. The Snyder fans can see now that
our boys are slow about organizing
and are nat giving enough time and
thought to practice
A local baseball enthusiast says
the result was due TO a combination
of loose playing by the home team,
and timely hitting and good baseball
by S'aton. He says on paper the
teams seem evenly matched but on
the playing field Snyder was hope
lessly outclassed, and unless the pres
ent members show more pep and en-
thusiasm a general wedding out and
shaking up will be in order
Continuing, this expert says,
losing streak will follow any team at
some time and can usually be attri-
buted to hard luck but that sort OF
an alibi cannot serve as an offet in
this case. Snyder's defeat was due
to rotten playing.
The recent game with Post show
ed that the Snyder team Is capable
of better efforts and It IS due to the
baseball public that they get results.
These are expressions from one
who is interested in the Snyder team.
And It is expected the boys will rally
all their force and earnestness and
put Snyder in the lead. The Snyder
boys can do It and we have faith
that they will come to the front.
LATER---In the second game which
terminated just as we are going to
press, the Snyder team redeemed her
self by winning over Slaton 70 the
tune OF S 70 2.

CAR SHORTAGE Is Az
FECTING GRAIN HARVEST

Dallas. June 21.-The acute car
shortage is seriously handicapping
harvest of Texas grain by holding up
delivery Of machinery, according to
wires received from the National I'm
plement and Vehicle Association Of
Chicago by the Texas Hardware and
Implement Association and the Texas
Chamber of Commerce.
The shortage of threshing and har-
vesting machinery due to slow ship
ment, added TO the scarcity OF farm
labor. is likely to create an acute sit
uation in the West Texas grain fields.
The Texas Chamber OF Commerce and
the Texas Hardware and Implement
Association have joined in urging the
Interstate Commerce Commission to
provide an adequate daily car supply
for the next sixty days for the re-
moval OF all farm machinery, and an
appeal has beed made to Governor
Hobby by these two organizations to
assist by appealing to the Interstate
Commerce Commission.
Only quick action can ayerta Sc
rlous situation, according to the tel
egrams from the National Implement
and Vehicle Association.
