George Judge Ryan committed Clar-
ence Harvey, thirteen years old of

Mrs. l. A. Borden, 425 Pontius Ave-,

toning up the system in general, it has

More GOE
YOu1. Money

Swapping things-as when
our grandmothers traded eggs
for calico at the crossroads store
gives better understanding of
values. By measuring one thing
against another we too can often
judge values more clearly.
Coal and wages make up more
than half the manufacturing cost
OF cement.
The chart above shows price
fluctuations for portland cement,
coal and wages during the past
ten years. In each case 100 is used
to represent 1913 figures, by the
Government departments which
compiled these statistics.
Translated into legs and calico"
language, this chart shows that ton of
coal would buy nearly twice as much
cement in 1922 as in 1913. A days wages
also would buy more cement in 1922
than in 1913.
This means that even though coal and
wages make up more than half its manu-
featuring cost, cement is now relatively
lower in price than either coal or wages.
So, considering these increased costs,
it is plain that in buying cement you get
more for your money than before.

Children Slide Down Hill and Have
SNOWFALL Fights After Hail Storm

In the severest rain and hail storm
that this section of the state has ex-
perieneed in many years, the
drought which has made haying a de-
light and gardening a despair was
successfully broken last Monday af-
ternoon when the heavens opened and
in twenty-five minutes let down such
n deluge as even those boresome old
people with weather memory find it
difficult TO recall or invent.
At East Thompson and throughout
the town Of Thompson. IN fact. hall
fell aud piled up lfte drifts Of snow.
The hail was reported TO have piled
as high as a foat deep in the Porter
Plain district. and children were able
to get out their sleds and enjoyed
half an hours midsummer coasting
before the rising temperature remov.
ed the phenomena. At the residence
Of Ellsworth Bixby in East Thompson
the thermometer dropped as low as
;hirty-six degrees. Passengers on the
train from Boston,
waiting for the connecting train nj
the East Thompson junction. alighted
and engaged in a midsummer SNOWFALL
fight. The entire countryside was so
covered with the hail that II gave the
appearance of winter snowstorm.

ATTAWAUGAN MAN
TAKEN FOR MANIAC
Wears Cap, Black Suit and Has
One Eye, So Fred Bray
Goes to Police Station
Weeden. Escaped Criminal, 1, Still
at Large

Just before The Patriot went Ia
press last week, Captain William Jar
Wis of the local police force asked that
an item be inserted to the effect that
Frank Weeden, a dangerous maniac,
escaped from a Rhode Island institu.
ton, had last been seen making mis-
way towards Putnam. The item ere.
ated not little excitement and inter
est throughout Windham County and
the result was throughout the early
part Of the week that a constant in
speetion of all strangers in town was
made.
On Wednesday, Fred Bray. who IS
employed in the mill at Attawaugan
went to the Putnam railroad station
looking for a cab to take him 10 hi
home. Instantly several citizens
standing around the station saw IN
Bray a remarkable similarity to the
description given of the escaped
Needen. Bray was engaged In con.
versation while Captain Jarvis was
summoned. On arrival. even the cap
tain was sure that he had the maniac
in tow, and Bray was promptly taken
To the police station and questioned
but was soon able TO prove 20 the sat
isfaetion of the captain that he had
been employed at Attawaugan for
over two years and that he was sane,
law-abiding citizen.
Bray's resemblance to the descrip.
ton of Weeden was exceptional. He
was the same height, wore clothing
and a cap similar to those that the
maniac was reputed to wear, and,
moreover. had only one eye. which Is
Weeden's distinguishing feature.
The news that Weeden had eseap.
ed and had come into this section OF
the country, caused the greatest ex.
citement throughout the countryside
Wild reports that the man, convicted
Of the murder of boys and said to be
suffering from dangerous homicida
mania. had murdered persons in East
killingly, and various other plac Is
flew thick ard fast during the earlier
part of the week.
Weeden is still at large, but SO
careful has the search for him been
in this section of the state. that the
police feel confident that he learned
of the search and has made for other
places of refuge.

CHAMBER ARRANGES
FOR BAND CONCERTS
Local Musical Organizations to
Entertain on Wednesday
Nights
Dancing ON Mseadsm Will Fe Feat
ure.--First Concert Next "Wednesday

At a meeting OF the merchants
committee of the Putnam Chamber
of Commerce. held yesterday morn
ing. and presided over by Chairman
Warren Ames, il was decided TO hold
another series of free band concerts
on Union Square, the same as was
done last summer. The first concert
will be held next Wednesday night.
August LIST, commencing at $50 O.
clock, after the stores have been clos
ed for the evening.
Ralph Busbee Chairman
Ralph X. Bugbee. of the firm II
Bugbee & Wulf. was chosen to have
charge Of the concerts. and he an
nounced this morning that the Gros-
venordale Band had been secured :,
give the initial concert. The must
clans will be grouped about the water
ing trough on Union Square. and ar
rangements will be made with The
Putnam Light 4 Power Company for
the use of its two large searchlights,
so that ample light will be provided
SO the musicians may see their music.
These band concerts will be held on
each Wednesday night during the
month of August. They will start Mt
$50 o'clock, the last concert to be
given ON the evening of August %.
As was the case last year. dancing
on the macadam will be feature OF
these weekly concerts. Meal will be
spread about generously. that dane
ing on the rather rough surfaced high
way may be easier and therefore more
enjoyable to the many expected to
participate.
Discuss Question Thoroughly
Before il was decided To hold the
concerts on Union Square. the com
mittee considered the question of
holding them elsewhere in the city on
alternate nights Because danein
became such n decided feature last
year. this question entered largely
into the consideration Of each suggest
ed place. In turn different spots were
frowncd upon because dancing could
not be enjoyed ut them, either be
cause the highway was not Of the
proper type or else the pastime would
affect traffic toe seriously. Finally i
was decided that no better spot in the
city could be determined upon than
Union Square. and for this reason
was selected.
IL is hoped TO have concerts by the
Srosvenordale Band, Manhasset Band,
st James Band of Danielson, and the
always popular Wauregan Band.
