Notes

Putnam has plenty of battery ma terial with Caffrey, Johnson, Plantierl and Coffey, the latter of the Sacred Hearts of Woonsocket, as boxmen. Chase, McClean, and Labonte draw the catching assignments until "Cool- CT" returns. The first base position seems to be hotly contested by Latour and Dugas, the latter being favored Bouley seems to have established him self permanently at second. along with Kirby at short and "Rip" Nelson on third. Mccoy, Carey and Murphy have been chosen as first string out ficlders but MOrin and Caron are cap able of filling in at any time. ..,
 Next weekend the SIX SoN VIII plav three games. On Saturday they wiIi play the strong Taftville Club in Taftville. On Sunday Taftyille will come to Putnam and on Monday, which will mark the celebration of Memorial Day. the Putnam fans will get their first glimpse of the J. E Martins of Norwich. This sport menu should prove quite attractive and should keep home those who are in elined to celebrate the holiday out-of- town. Both games are scheduled to start at 800 D. m. daylight saving time.

STRONG LIVESTOCK SHOW
State Fair Will Reap Benefits of Other
 Exhibitions

The Connecticut State Fair will reap the benefit this year through q encouragement of dates of members of the Eastern Fair Circuit. The New York State Fair at Syracuse will come the week before Hartford allowing the Hartford institution to take it's place between Syracuse and the East ern States Exposition at Springfield
 This arrangement will result in the biggest livestock show that Connec- ticut has ever known due to the many prominent exhibitors who move over the eastern circuit and will give Con nectieut breeders an opportunity to compete against and to study the beset types
 Connecticut will be further benefit ed this year because of the beef cat tie show at the Sesqui-Centennial fol- lowing the Connecticut State Fair as many exhibitors throughout New Eng land will stop at Hartford on their way 10 the centennial.
 To make the State Fair more inter esting and instructive to both exhibi. tors and the people in attendance new classes have been added. old classifications nave been revised and more money is being offered for premiums in every class.
 Inquiries for premium lists are be- ing received daily and from every in dieation q banner year is anticipated.

 tors In 100 Yard Dash

Putnam and nanielson boys were in the limelight in the state ''Y" meet at Middletown.

 Adams. Fulton and Spencer of Kil- linely. Parker of Brooklyn, Speek of Woodstock. Winslow and Child of Putnam and Chubbuck of Thompson all figured brilliantly in compiling points that brought victory to Wind ham county. Gordon Gale also contri- buted Co the showing made by Wind ham county in taking points in the senior high jump. Chubhuck broke the shot-put record and Winslow daz- zled the competitors in the event by turning in a 10 second performance in the i00-yard dash. while Speck made that same distance in i0l. All were agreed that these were stellar performances for amateur athletes competing in such meet as that of Saturday.
 Windham county now has two vic tories 10 it's credit in it's quest for ner- manent possession of the state trophy. In this respect it is tied with Fairfield county. while Litchfield county is credited with one victory. Another win by Windham county will give it permanent possession of the trophy.

The third industry The fourth hon esty The fifth spirit Mir. Battey spoke at some length on each of the five points and showed how each has its part in making up the character of a star.

THE CHAMBER VIEW

Speaking today in Washington before the an
nual meeting of the United States Chamber Of Com
merce OF which he is president, John w OTeary
discussed the question of relief for the farmers
After paying graceful tribute agriculture as the
basis which all business rests he warned against
any legislation that would include Government aid
for the farmer
During the past year." he said "the Chamber
Of Commerce has held foUl regional agricultural con-
ferences total Of twenty States has been repre-
sented. Farmers bankers. merchants, manufacture
ers have participated and have developed sympa-
thetic understanding. There has resulted an edu-
cation of business in the real problem Of the
farmer"
Then he proceeded to enumerate the things that
have been done for the farmer: Credit 10 help oyer
the worst of the defation period Invention Of new
machinery to lessen cost of production More order
y distribution by the railroads to avoid overlooking
the market New uses developed for farm products
AS an example of the last he mentioned the
making Of poker chips from skinned milk
Concluding Mr.. O'Leary said:
Our confidence in the future is not dspelled
by the efforts to depict the farmers future by pic
ture of pauperism or the object Of charity. Your
organization will continue to lend its best thoughts
to this important phase of the work"
1t would appear from this speech that the best
thought" OF the Chamber of Commerce was not
equal to dealing with two phases OF the agriculture
question that probably have more to do with the
farmers present plight than any others
One is the protective tariff It may be that the
chamber shares President Coolidges view expressed
in Chicago that the tariff on everything he buys
doesn't hurt the farmer Or it may be that the
chamber membership includes too many benefcaries
of the tariff to permit the chamber to go into that
subject
The other is the question of mddlemen The
farmer gets too little out of product for which the
public pays too much Some one in between gets
the difference. Nearly every one seems to know
this, but no one has yet found way to eliminate
This man in between Are there also too many Of
MIN IN the chamber to permit the chamber to go
into that subject?

THE WAY DOCTORS TALK
BY Mrs. Walter Ferguson

The American Medical Association which met
some weeks ago at Dallas, Texas planned some needed
reforms The one, however, which a Ions, suffering
public has wished for ardently, was not even men
TONED We refer to the doctors pet habit Of ignoring
the use of Ango-Saxon words.
FOR hiding behind a lot of Latin no one. not even
Il lawyer, can excel a physician. This is not to be
criticised when they launched upon q learned de-
bate with men Of their profession but when they
get patient down. they should exercise some mercy
Nothing can give you such a feeling of utter help

TO give yuo some information, they will exchange their
majestic Greek and their Latin with "A cruel
indifference to your sufferngs
Indeed, there is about all the professional con-
Versation of medical men something of sinister nvs-
terry, an aweInspring gable of language that can
scare the ordinary citizen almost to death.

But neither prohibition nor temperance is the

TIT COULDN'T HAPPEN

The members OF the city council who tried to
mt grave ward as barrier to development in the
northern part of the city have yielded to pressure
of some sort and are now happy to escape further
censure.
They explain that they called a special meeting
to help out this project which would have destroyed
property values, served no useful purpose or need
and permitted so they say. large profits from stock
Sales because they told that unless they acted
quickly the scheme could not be carried out.
In other words, their plea is that they acted
hastily upon transformation. They played the part
of boobs if their own explanation is taken at face
value
They have better explanation, II they would
give it to the people.
1t is in the form Of city government OF which
they part.
With political and partisan control and fac
tional squabbles, councimen and mayors Will keep
on being misled and misinformed and hauled about
by those with votes to deliver and favors to seek
This threat to very many thousands of dollars
of invested capital could not have been made in
Cleveland or in Cincinnati or any city which has
manager whose business it is to KNOW.
This sort of deal could not be contaminated
in a. city operated on a business, not a political,
basis.
AS long as we make city government matter
Of partisan and fractional politics, citizens may ex
pect to pay the price in real money.
1t is always paid in the form of high taxes. And
then occasionally it is paid in huge chunks when
misinformed politicians do something that destroys
values of real estate.
Very happily the education of these councilmen
on the cemetery scheme came in time to prevent
actual loss.
But the best protection for the future is as
rapid a change from the present charter to a city
manager form
1t is time to cut out the cost of politics and start
to go after that million population.
