NOT A CHANGE
It Didn't Happen In Putnam Reporters Jobs Therefore
 Secure.

The Willimautic Chronicle" recent ly issued a warning to storekeepers in the Thread City 10 be on their guard against new swindliHg gag Per fectly proper and duty any news paper owes the public.
 To illustrate how the scheme Was worked the writer singles out Putnam, and "other cities not specified f9 read live Putnam news in a foreign sheet if that news has not appeared in the local press first. k q reflection on ali five newspaper reporters who may happen to carry pencil and notebook about our little city.
 If any local merchants had recently been separated from S20 bills by d couple of slickers a Patriot reporter was ready to cause a vacancy on the staff before the boss got to him first.
 Hot footing it down to the sub pos lice station near the Bank Corner the captain and sergeant of police were found in profound discussion. In the excitement they were rudely inter rupted and the clipping from the bright little daily from the other end of the county was showed beneath the eyes of two of Putnam $ hiFh-ups.
 If the decision was thumbs down the reporter was 6 dead one The mo- ments were fraught with tantaliziag uncertainty.
 Exoneration
 Having perused the item the ser geant remarked Pretty slick scheme. .'Yes." said the captain. but it never was worked in this city Thus being rushed back to his typewriter and paste pot to tell the world and all local gems that their jobs are se- cure, for the time being at least.
 However it is possible that the slickers may come this way, and not to have the article later appear as a prognostication 1t is given below just as t appeared over west, as warn ing to our own merchants;

TRAFFIC COP II
WILL WARM,
Then ARREST.
Motorists Stopped on
Highway, A djus s t
Lights Under Super
vision of Sadler

Scores of motorists were lined up
the side Of the highway between
Brownsville and San Benito Mon
day night and Tuesday while Traffic
Officer +. Z. Sadler supervised the
adjustment Of their lights and Ii
cense plates as the first move in q
campaign against reckless driving in
Comeron county.
Drivers have become careless of
their headlight adjustment and many
have been riding on the highways
without any tail lights on their auto
mobiles and other vehicles, Sadler
said Tuesday, announcing his inten-
tion Of a rigid enforcement Of all
the traffic laws.
Cause of Accidents
"Some of these laws may seem TO
be minor ones" Sadler said, "but if
the general public knew how near
many OF these have come TO being
cause Of serious accidents they would
consider them as highly important"
Hundreds Of motorists have been
warned during the past week to get
their lights adjusted and have Ii
cense plates both in front and back Of
their automobiles, as required by law.
and 10 equip their vehicles with red
AkuAN as SHCNAAANA AA NAN ANNoS
traffic codes.
No arrests have been made in con-
nection with these violations, Sadler
said. but unless the warnings are
needed, complaints will be filed
against the offending drivers.
I'VE do not want TO bring a great
number of persons into court, Sadler
added, especially since many of them
are ignorant of their lack of compli-
ance with the traffic regulations. so
| have begun stopping the motorists
and making them adjust their lights
on the spot, and If they allow the
lights 20 get out Of adjustments after
that. or do not provide the proper
tail lights ! am promising them tick
cts"
One offender in particular will be
watched closely, Sadler said. That is
the motorist who allows his head
lights to become so far out Of line
az TO blind motorists coming in the
opposite direction. AS dangerous an
offender on the highway is the zone
eyed" motorist, driving with only one
headlight.
Reckless, careless. needless driving
on the highways, and driving while
intoxicated are offenses which viii
continue to be vigorously handled, he
stated.
