Title to the property in this city af he Manhasset Mfg. Company will ba taken on or about May l by the Putnam Land and Mills Company. Inc. which took out incorporation naners in Rhode Island last week. And this new corporation will lease inc local manufacturing property to more than one and perhaps several companies which will carry on their respective industries in the particular parts of the property leased. Brief iV this is the information that was obtained yesterday by The Patriot from reliable sources in Rhode Island.
 Muir Transfers Interests
 William Muir of Providence who bid in the local property on behalf of interests headed by William s. Cherry of Providence. and to whom the superior court authorized the re- ceivers to sell for S475. .000, is one of the ineorporators of the Putnam Land and Mills Co Inc With him is associ- afed Charles W. Knowles of Provi- dence and R. c. F. Hicks of Cranston, an attorney with offices in Providence. This new corporation is capitalized at $500, ,0O0. It is to have 5000 shares, the par value of which will be Sl00. In addition the concern will have i5 900 shares of common stock of no par value.
 The Patriot communicated, on the long distance telephone, yesterday. with Attorney Hicks. In explaining the situation as liberally as it is per missible to do at just this time, Mir. Hicks stated that MT Muir and those kEom he represented at the time of the auction sale of the local property, had transferred his rights in it to the Putnam Land and Mills Co. Inc The company, Mir. Hicks stated. would complete the purchase of the property. in the time stipulated by the superior court when the judge confirmed the auction sale and authorized the receiv- CTS for the Manhasset Mfg. Co.,, to transfer the proper instruments of sale. Co the interests represented by Mir. Muir This completion of the purchase would probably not take place. Mr Hicks stated, until about May 1.
 Lease Negotiations in Progress
 Asked concerning the plans of the
 Putnam Land and Mills Co. Inc, Mr
 Hicks said that the company was con dgctihg negotiations to lease the pro perty, but affirmed that events had not progressed to the extent that any statement could be given out concern iHg them or the parties involved.
 Mir Hicks is authority for the statement that the local property would probably 6e split up and leas- ed Co more than one manufacturing

An unusually stubborn woods fire on the land of Jerome Tourtellotte in the town farm district on Tuesday afternoon required the labor of local fremen. New Haven railroad workers, and others to subdue. Tanned by a strong wind the fire spread very rapidly. and when it got into 8 pine grove was especially hard to check, spreading with a swiftness little short of marvellous. It is estimated that at least sixty-five acres of land were burned over. The fire started near the railroad right of way, and may possibly have been caused by a train. Several hours of work with shovels and other implements was put in by the firemen There was of course no water available and it was Il hot fire to fight

Jack Rabbit Fights Eagle

While on trip of inspection tt

syth, battle, if battle it can be
called, when strategy is the only
weapon, between an eagle and a jack
rabbit, in which the rabbit emerged
victorious, was witnessed by Louis
de Crignis, proprietor of the Elk
cafe, and Edgar L. Beard, secretary
of the Forsyth chamber of commerce.
The battle was fought about 500
feet from the two witnesses and was
plainly visible, the eagle being a
large black fellow with wide wing
spread, and the rabbit almost pure
white.
Catching sight of the rabbit, the
powerful bird Strengthened into a
dive, pursuing his prey. which was
running directly away in blind eff
fort to escape. AS the bird was al
most ready to strike, the rabbit sud
denly wheeled, dashed directly at his
enemy and, as the eagle swept along
near the ground, suddenly leaped
fully five feet in the ear, allowing
the bird to swoop under him. The
rabbit gained his burrow before the
attack could be resumed. After look
ing disgustedly around for moment
the eagle flew lazily away.

ASK ASSISTANCE FOR FARMERS
IN OVERSEEING THEIR CROPS

Wheat farmers who wish to change
their methods and start diversifying

ranging up to $1,000 to be used for
the purchase of breeding livestock,
under the provisions of the $4,000
600 livestock loan bill recently intro
duced into congress and supported by

states. The measure is an emergency
one and is intended to alleviate the

of the government to raise more
wheat during the war.
Farmers and tenants eligible for
loans would include:
1. Those who do not have live
stock on their farms and wish to
make start.
2. Those who have low grade and
livestock, which they
wish to replace with higher grade
animals.
8. Those who have few good
head of stock and wish to increase
their herd.
Loans will be made to those who
are not otherwise able to finance the
change toward diversification, and I
