drop of prices on hard coal For this the dealers are h no way responsible and they would much prefer to see. the commodity back to what formerly was considered normal price
 It would appear that Putnam, and the remainder of this section of the state, is in for the same ridiculous arrangement of time measuring as was in vogue here last spring, summer and early fall-the vicinity on standard time, which the ma 1 jority seem to favor, and the trains on daylight saving time. This freak situa- I tion causes much inconvenience not only to farmers but to many other pesons. par ticularly those who have to travel and are thereby required to watch two kinds of time and figure at all times on not getting mixed up. The New Haven roads plan to run it's trains an hour earlier, be 1 ginning on March 27, is not welcomed by | the peqSle hereabouts, for it has the eff fleet oN daylight saving schedule and | offsets what the farmer gained by having , this state on a standard time basis, par Iticularly if he is a shipper of milk by train.

 l If the state of Massachusetts retains its daylight saving plan, the mills of the lGrosvenor1a company will be run on a Il daylight saving basis, it was announced by Agent J. F. Riordan. This would be in line with what was done last year, l when Grosvenordale, less than half a dozen miles from Putnam, was on day. light saving and all of the remainder of Ithe county on standard time, as will be the case this year.
