Christmas, and some of those who are ithere were given two and three prserts, and the holiday was ;marvelously, en- joyable occasion for every inmate Gifts came from every section of the county. WiIlimantic being particularly generous. The battalion of little people really had a double holiday. There were presents and chicken dinner on Sunday, the eve of Christmas, and on Christmas day there was another chicken dinner and another avalanche of gifts. The superin- tendert and matron, Mrs. D. c. Park, said Monday afternoon that this Christ mas season was one of the most enjoy able in the history of the home, and that the children entered into the spirit of the occasion with all the gusto of happy. care free children who happen to be with their, parents in their own horne3 When in formation was being given over the tele- phone about the holiday Monday after noon, Mrs. Park had to excuse herself for a moment that she might shut her self in from the happy laughter of de- lighted children engaged in their Christ mas frolic. z
 The Howe-Marot school for girls in Thompson only two miles distant from the childrens home. was one of the insti-. tutions that repeated it's generosity of other years in contributing to the making of a real holiday for the county home chilGren> The students there brought an abundance and in other ways contributed to the creation, of a. real happy holiday period for the Scoles of little. folks at the home. Other public institutions in town were E,visited during the Christmas period by those who really devote time and effort l to making this season of the year a hap py one to the suffering and unfortunate. Sunday evening carol Singers visited the Day. KiInbaA hospital, and there were other evidences that there are still few who bear in mind that the Christmas season is one of Peace on earth, good will to men"

 more than pleased over the announce ment that the Adams Manufacturing | company of North Scttuate, forced out of a location where it las grown wealthy l by reason of the development of big reservoir area for the city of Providence, is coming to Putnam to locate.
 Quickly following the announcement ] that this concern has taken over two mills of the Nightingale-M company, | comes the announcement that the Adams
 company not only will use the mills it
 has purchased but also will construct an
 addition furnishing space for about 300
 looms in addition to the space for weav- | ing that the mills it has purchased af- | lords.
 Active work for the development of its
 property as thsA Adams company will wish to have it will be undertaken with
 the coming of spring. The concern that l rryi1I ha &r, | tablished. and with splendid connections | is. to be big asset to this city. Be l yond this, the concern will give Putnam a | greater diversity of manufactures, be cause it manufactures crinolines, tobacco field cloth, buckrams and other materials 1 different that are not. listed in what the
 city's plants are making at this time.
