Norwich and New London, the other going to New London only, on the same line of poles.
 The other three lines, one 66.OOO and two SS,000 volt lines, run north on a steel tower line to a point approXi- mately one mile above the power sta ton, where the line turns east and crosses the Thames river between Kitemaug and Decatur mountain, a narrow point of the river. The river span is 1,285 feet long with mini mum clearance of 130 feet between the bottom wires and mean high water level. The tower on the west side of the river is 260 feet high and the tow , CT on the east side of the river, on the slope of Decatur mountain, 180 feet high.
 There are 16 towers in the steel tower line, the last one being To- cated on the crest of the hill, on the l east bank of the river. From this point the two SS,O00 volt lines run on one wood pole line, and the 66,o00 volt line. runs on another wood pole line easterly a distance of approximately one mile, where the 33 900 volt lines l join and tie in with two other lines connecting Hallville and Groton. Near Groton another feeder ties in with tneSG lines, 106O4nS the SuDSlaClOn OI the Shore Line Electric Railway O.. at Noank.

product is in great demand and the supply is never equal to the calls that come for it.
 All of Putnam's manufacturing plants have had an exceedingly busy year, and all were so fortunate as to escape being handicapped by the shortage of fuel due to the coal strike. Higher wage scales than ever before are being paid by all of the plants and the operatives are prosperous and happy.
 The activity of the real estate mar ket in Putnam, as previously referred to has been'so great as to leave many persons wondering from week to week over whether they would have a place to sleep. The transfers of res ldential property have involved a number of the finest places in the city, and record high prices have been paid in many instances.
 Some new dwellings have been erected by individuals, but the mum Der has been far too few to satisfy the demands for homes. As the city s population is rapidly increasing it is likely that 1920 will witness the eree- tion of many new. homes. The high cost of materials and labor have operated to hold up the building of many dwellings that have been plan : ned, but as there is little prospect of relief from these prices it is believed that 1920 win see a building boom in dwellings here.
 Byron D. Bugbee has built during 1919 one of the finest residences erect ed here in years. The type is bung- allow and the material brick. as is the garage. This splendid residence, at the easterIy end of Grove street. is not yet ready for occupancy, but ii is a fine one and when the grounds about it are developed it will be one of the show places of the city. A building project of interest to Putnam has been the reconstruction during 1919 of the French River Inn, at Mechanicsville which was badly damaged by fire 9 rev months ago The inn is the home of a large mum Der of operatives of the French River Textile company, In rebuilding the damaged structure expense has not been spared in making it as attrac- tive as a great many of the smaller hotels of the country.
 Along the construction line ot different nature, one of the pro- lects welcomed by Putnam people during 1919 was the beginning of the work of laying concrete pavement through Grove street. the city's mair thoroughfare The state joins in the paying of the cost of this very fine improvement, which will be completed in the spring.
 Many dwellings have undergone al terations and improvements during 1919 in Putnam and some new dwell ings built by individuals have beer erected through the cooperation O the Putnam Building and Loan asso ciation, which every year is proving it's worth to the city.

PUTNAM DWELLINGS INCREASE
 IN BUNDING PROGRAMME

The Manhasset Manufacturing company led the way in thes-1s19 in du3trial and building development. in Putnam. Incidentally more real es- tate transfers have been made in Put nam during the last twelve months than in any five years in the citys history. This fact reflects the short age of homes in Putnam and is a direct evidence of the city's growth in population.
 The Manhassct company. one Of the great tire duck concerns that prom tses to make towns in this section headouarters for this industry in the east, has been carving out an egten- sive building program the past year.
 The company has caused the erec- tion of whole rows of new dwellings in what is known as the Manhasset section of the city and has built a three-story brick addition to a plant that grows steadily from year to year. The addition is still under con struction, but will be roofed within a month and ready for the installation of machinery. by early spring. It is understood that the company has plans for still another addition, to be erected just south of where the one now being built stands. The ManhasSet company is to Putnam what the Connecticut mills are to Danielson and it's product is rated among the best fabrics of its kind in the world.
 The new dwellings erected by this company are attractive in appear ance and conven: :ent in their arrange ment and appointments, being a. vast advance over housing arrangements provided for mill operatives of even a decade ago.
 The new streets that have been opened have been laid with water and gas mains and sewer lines and the streets and homes are all lighted by electricity.
 The prospect for further develop 'neHt by the Manl1s sset company is said to be exceedingly bright, for its

storage for about three cars of grain. Underneath this addition is a 10 foot cellar, cemented on the bottom and sides, accommodating three more cars of grain and flour. A new and in teresting idea is a semi circular plat form, connecting the new part with the old building which makes it easier to drive up to the building and in loading teams and automobiles.
 By cutting a ten foot doorway on the street side of the main building and dropping a portion of a three inch plank flooring, a garage has been made on the street level for their new two and one half ton truck. Grain and feed are loaded on under cover, a great improvement especially dur ing the past year. Various changes have been made inside the main building, such as a separate upper room for flour, keeping it clean and in good condition; the office has been re- modelled to make more room. An up to-date bookkeeping system has been installed with large cash register a part; small bins have been placed so that the small order trade is handled centrally and quickly.
 All the above improvements make for larger storage capacity, bigger
 
 CT, and better service to the consumer ss well as increased output for the grain store.
 Ashland Mill Club House. During the past year the Ashland
 Cotton Company has built an up-to- date club house for it's employees containing bowling alleys, pool tables shower bathss reading and recreation rooms on the shore of Ashlapd Lake below the athletic field at a} cost o1
 approximately $95.000.
 In addition to this they have built
 2 new weave shed and purchased 54t new looms to be used in weaving
 cloth.

HORSE NOT DONE.
so Says Ellis Mcfarland, Secretary
Percherop Society.

From visiting with farmers and
breeders at six of the leading state
fairs, Illinois, Iowa, Ohio, Nebraska,
Minnesota and Kansas, | find that
an entirely different attitude is held
toward the horse situation now as
compared with a year ago. 1t is an
extremely rare thing now to find a
farmer who is pessimistic about the
future of the draft horse.
Farmers are seen going from stall
to stall looking at the stations which
clearly indicates what these men are
thinking. They know that the time
Is coming soon when they must buy
a stallion and the only point in their
minds now which is undecided is re-
lative to the time when this horse
should be secured.
They say: II do not know whether
ought to get one for next seasons
trade or whether l should wait Z
year" For the last five years it has
been a rare thing to see farmer
ask an exhibitor to pull a stallion
out Of the stall to show him. Such
farmers are now prospective purchas-
crs.

AUTO KILLS cow.
Car With Nine West Union Young
Folks in il Was Not Puset, No
One Was Hurt.

A party of West Union young peo-
pie, returning from Saturdays foot
ball game at Waukon, performed the
seemingly impossible feat Of running
clear over COW and killing her
without upsctting the car or throw
ing out any of the occupants.
In the car, a Buick belonging to
George Schatz and driven by his son
Lorenz, were nine young folks. As
they turned corner two miles north
OF Clermont, on down grade, after
nightfall, they suddenly found two
cows in front of them, one COW in
each of the two vehicle tracks. The
brakes We're applied, and while the
car went over one of the cows and
injured her so that she had to be
killed after getting up and walking
to the other side of the road, the
speed must have been greatly re-
duced before they hit her, or the
passengers would have been thrown
forward and injured. As it was no
one was hurt, while the weight of
the nine passengers helred to keep
the heavy car from turning over.
The Tenders, lights, fan, and radi-
ator were badly damaged. The cow
belonged to Mr.. Ostlie, near Cler-
mont.-Argo Gazette.

SHOULD GET THE BOYS
AT THE OTHER END

The baseball circles of the coun-
try have received great shock over
the news that their favorite sport
and pastime has at least partially
been in the hands of crooked gam
blers who bought the results Of base
ball games to suit their own selfish
interests. Eight Chicago White Sox
players have been indicted by the
Cook county jury charged with con-
spiracy to do an illegal act, namely
selling their chances of winning the
1913 worlds series games. The play
ers indicted are, Eddie Cicotte,
Claude Williams, "Chick" Gandii,
Happy" Felsch, Charles Risberg,
Joe Jackson, Buck" Weaver, and
Fred McMullen all of whom have
been suspended indefinitely awaiting
results of the investigations. 1t is
also now thought that these players
also sold out their chances of win
ming this seasons American league
championship. 1t has also been ru'
mored that bribes have been offered
the Brooklyn Nationals TO lose the
worlds series this seaasn.
II the above Chicago White SoS
players are guilty of the charges pre-
fered aginst them they should be put
)out of organized baseball, but first
and above all things the crooked
gamblers who offered their dirty
money to make sure thing for
themselves should pay dearly for
their corrupt methods.

Meaning Of "FIivver.n

'Fiivver" has long been in use as a
slang word, particularly by theatrical
people, who speak of poor play as a
"fllvve-." In a general way the word
means anything that goes wrong or
fails to come up to expectations. II
Is equivalent to the word 'foozle." Its
real origin is one of the mysteries of
slang.
