With everything new but the vheels.u as one member of the city council expressed it, No. motor truck of the Putnam fire department went hack into commission this week after being laid up for repairs for the past several weeks. This, the first piece of motor driven fire apparatus the city ever owned, has cost approximately ss.0O0 for overhauling and repairs within two years. This substantial ex- penditure was unforeseen when the matter of overhauling the piece of ap- paratus was first considered. While moi a modern truck. the veteran of the department is in fairly good condition. The bright red paint. which now makes the truck shine, cost nothing except the price of the paint. It was applied to the truck by Foreman Sharpe and one or two volunteers.

DEMOCRATS TO HEAR
 SENATOR WALSH
Party Workers to Gather In Putnam Next Thursday Eve
 ming For Discussion
Planning Most Intensive Campaign
 Ever Wagcd

Putnam is early to be the scene of efforts by the Democrats of Connecti- cut to place this state in the demo- cratic column next fall. A meeting has been arranged to be held at the Putnam Inn, Thursday evening, July 18th, at which Senator David |. Walsh of Massachusetts will be the speaker.
 This announcement was made in Willimantic, where leaders of the party have their coats of already and are taking the preliminary steps in what they claim is to be an intensive campaign in Windham county.
 The Democratic second eongression- al district campaign workers began or ganizing two months ago. They have held sectional committee meetings in Middletown and Putnam with a re- cent get-together of party workers at the Nathan Hale hotel, Willimantic. at this meeting the earnest campaign, such a one as has not been waged in Eastern Connecticut in the memory of the oldest veteran Democrat, was decided upon.
 Senator Coming
 Frank P. Fenton, chairman of the Willimantic Democratic committee re- ceived a telegram, Saturday, from former Mayor George w. Hickey, who was then in Houston, stating that he had arranged for Senator Walsh to address the gathering. This is considered epoehal in party history in this section, especially as it was un- derstood that the former Bay State Governor was to put all of his efforts into the Massachusetts campaign.
 Frederick Dumas, chairman of the Democratic city committee, said, Mon day, that he had not received notice that a definite date for the meeting had been set. He said that both AL derman Edmond Dubois, chairman of the Democratic town committee, and himself. had been interviewed regard. ing such a meeting and that no doubt it would be held as announced from Willimantie.

From Nevada Uses

resortcd to ulterior methods to
determine Arizona's reaction to

A woman spy, c1everly disguised
IN costly garb and driving a high
powered automobile was found
sleuthing in Noga1es Saturday aft
ernoon. The car bore a Nevada
license. Despite her prosperous
appearance, apparently designed
to throw off all suspicion that she
hailed from Nevada, the license
plate proved the woman's identity
Suspicion suddenly bounded in
to absolute knowledge that her
purpose here was in the interests
of Nevada when she parked the
ear in front Of the .Nogales Inter
national office and flashing q
camera, proceeded to photograph
the. International bulletin board
The cameras eye saw the
United Press report, the first in
Nogales, of the passage of the
