The Telephone Cha,terers

Judge Randolph II. Chandler has written to the editor enclosing a clip ping from a Massachusetts paper re- garding the recent law passed to pre- vent prolonged conversations on the telephone wire. Apropos of this cus- tom the judge has a few things to say regarding his own attitude towards the telephone visitors. His letter is as follows:
 Thompson, Conn, March is, '23. The Patriot:
 After five minutes of gossip central should be authorized to cut them of when another wants the wire. AL though I have a private wire l often am obliged to wait half and some times an hour before l can deliver an important message or someone wishes to call me. In either case the tele- phone is too often monopolized by nonsense, when important messages of a minutes duration are waiting to be delivered. If one's house is afire, or the doctor is wanted, possibly you are limited to five minutes to catch the train, seems to be of no account whatever, if some old woman insists upon telling how to retrim last years bonnet, or even persists in telling how she cured each of her five children of the whooping cough.

POLICE TO ARREST
 DRIVERS OF TRUCKS
One Appears In Court and Pays Fine For Overload
 ing
His Machine Carried Load 1 1880 lbs.
 Heavier Than Law Permitted

The second case coming before the city court, as the result of the State Police eheek-up on the weight of trucks passing along local state high ways, was considered by Judge Geiss- Ter Monday morning William Rich ard of Southbridge, driver of a truck owned by his father was charged with having driven a truck on March I3, that was overloaded 1880 pounds. Richard was arrested by State Police Officer Merrill Keith and ordered in- to court.
 His Truck Overloaded
 Richard acknowledged that his truck was overloaded according to figures given to court by Officer Keith, but he declared that he did not know it un- til the vehicle was weighed. He de- elared that the things on the truck were deceiving as to their true weight and for this reason did not realize that he had more of load than the law states that he may carry.
 Police to Arrest All
 Before imposing sentence Judge Geissler declared that he would not penailLe MT NlNlaFu ds dh tAhiilptt to others, if this was the ambition of the state police. The judge asked Officer Keith if it was the intention of the department to arrest all offenders and not single out a few to serve as warn ings to others. Mir. Keith declared it was the intention of the police to ar rest and secure prosecution of every case found where a truck is overload ed. That's the right way" said Judge Geissler. If you arrest one, then arrest all. /"
 Court fined Mir Richard S5 and costs amounting 10 St3.74, which he paid.
 Julius Guerin, operating a truck out of Woonsoeket, was the first driver found operating contrary to the motor vehicle laws, but in his case the of fense was not overlooking. He was presented in the city court, charged with operating a truck under numbers belonging to another truck, to which he pleaded guilty. He was fined Si0 and costs. a total of SA5. Attorney Arthur s. Macdonald represented him in court.

Where Do They Get It7

Thompson, March %. 1928. To the Editor of The Putnam Patriot: Dear Sir:-Will you kindly explain te ne why 1t Is that the law regarding the sale of intoxicating liquors is not enforced in the city of Putnam to it's fullest extent? It would appear that the Putnam police court is still deal ing with numerous cases of iatoNica- tion, and to my personal knowledge working men, visiting the city during their free hours. are able to purchase enough drink to make them unfit for work One can understand the fail ure to handle the prohibition situation in some of the great cities. but it does not seem possible that anything but laxity on the part of the police can explain the continued sale of liquor in city of the size of Putnam.
 Yours very truly,
 PATRIOT READER.

LIQUOR so STRONG
 ONE DRINK ENOUGH
Joe Russell Tells Judge That Taste Knocked Me
 Out"
Being His First Appearance In Court
 He Receives SEQ Fine

There was a sort of "eXperience" session of the City Court on Monday morning when three out of six men arraigned before Judge Geissler had unusual stories to tell in accounting for their having been arrested for drunkenness.
 Joe Russell. who said he came to Putnam Saturday afternoon from his boarding place in Pineyilie. with the intention of buying a suit of clothes, declared that he was aeeosted by q stranger who wanted to sell him a quart of liquor. Russell, who Is known to his friends as Buffalo" told the court he was urged to 'try" the liquid and not wishing to he diseourteous to the gentleman, he did as he was re- quested.
 One Taste Enough
 "I took one taste and the stuff knocked me out" Russell informed the court and he added, "The stuff tasted smoky Court seemed to take the former statement with the proVerbial grain of salt" but the latter was undoubtedly true, for it is stated that denatured alcohol, mixed with water, will not only look but taste rather smoky.
 Joe was real communicative while in the prisoners pen and under ex- animation by Prosecuting Attorney Carpenter. He asserted he was Spanish War veteran and went on to supply details. until told such details were not needed just at that moment. As to his steadiness, as regards work, he assured court that he was always at work when l don't loaf. " Even when the court room had a good laugh Russell appeared not to have discover ed his error When asked if he had any money to pay a fine Joe told the Judge that the s2s he had in his trous- CTS pocket. with which to buy suit, disappeared, together with his watch, between the time he slipped the liquor the stranger offered and when he was picked up by the police.
 Joe was ordered to pay fine of S20 and costs the total amounting to over S30 He went to jail, hoping to raise the cash somewhere and get out of custody soon.
 Barney Clancy of Putnam and Joe Rushford, who said he worked at Pineville, were also before the court on charges of intoxication. Neither could remember clearly where they secured the white mule" that made them drunk. Both were sentenced toI iail for 30 days and ordered to pay the costs of prosecution.

the Editor of The Patriot .

To the Editor Of The Patriot. Dear Sir.-T was much interested in reading in last weeks paper about how the merchants are preparing for a better lighted Putnam business sec ton by Illuminated signs and better lighted store windows. While the spirit is on. why does not the Cham Der of Commerce or the merchants combine and erect a large sign with some live inscription thereon, and have it we'll lighted, in front of the ruins of the Chickering Hotel. before said ruins begin to rival Tut-ank- what'shisname? Perhaps the N. H. would donate a strip Of land on its property for some such sign.
 Yours liRhtfully,

RAINY WEATHER BAD
 ON COTTON BUT HAS NO EFFECT ON WEEVIL
Dr. Hinds Says Army Of Weevils Waiting To
 Attack

AUBURN. Ala, June 2.-(Special) "Unfavorable for the growth of cot ten but very little interference with or effect on the boil weevil' Is the way Dr. W. E. Kinds. entomologist for the Alabama experiment station and extension services, expresses himself regarding the long rainy sea- son which lasted the greater part of May.
 In presenting reasons for his con- clusions, pr. Hinds said: "The weather has very little effect on boil weevils prior tt' multiplication, which begins soon after the forma- tion of squares or not until weevils begin feeding" Dr. Hinds referred to the fact that cotton Is not plant requiring excess moisture but that, on the other hand, dryer weather causes 1t to develop a greater root system, which Is net done during ex- cessive rains. The result of this Is an improper development of the plant which may result in an advantage to boil weevils when fruiting begins.
 Meager reports received by pr. Kinds from different parts of Ala bama indicate that 6 large number of weevils are waiting for the forma- tion of squares, and unless controlled by unfavorable weather or by other means much damage should be ex- pected.
