Corporation Owning Building to Erect Sign on Roof At
 Own Expense
In Line With Plan of Guggenheim Foundation.-- P. O. Depart
 ment Active

The word Putnam" in letters suf ficiently large to be readable 1000 feet in the air, Is to be painted on the roof of Union Block. The expense is to be borne by the Union Block Company. The sign is to be erected to serve as a guide to aviators. While the erecting of such 8 sign has been under advise ment by the Putnam Chamber of Com merce. the Rotary Club, and the Com mon Council cooperating, no definite action has been taken. Now that the Union Block Company has decided to place a sign on the top of it's building in the center of the city. the problem has been solved.
 Before the sign is painted expert advice will be obtained as to the best method of erecting such a sign, the size and shape of the letters, material to use, etc.
 The erection of the sign is in line with the plan of the Daniel Guggen- helm Fund for the promotion of aero nautics. While the effort of the Gug- genheim Fund has been taken np through the Postoffice Department and received that departments endorse ment and cooperation. and while the Putnam postoffice is in Union Block, the determination of Union Block Company to erect a sign has no imme- diate connection with the Postofficc Department or the local postoffice. It is a public spirited act for the benefit of Putnam.
 It might be said. to show how wide spread the plan has become, that Post

PUTNAM" ON UNION BLK.
 AS GUIDE TO AVIATORS

master General New. in a general or der to all Connecticut postmasters of cities and towns with populations of from 1000 to 50,000, has requested these postmasters to cooperate with the organization.
 Letters have been sent out, or will be if they have not already gone forth, from the Guggenheim Fund, with which Colonel Charles A. Lindbergh is associated. explaining in detail how they may be of aid in developing this means of guidance.
 Upon receipt of the letter postmas- ters are requested to consult with local civic organizations, with view te having the names of the cities and towns painted on high and prominent buildings.
 The action of the Union Block Com pany has forestalled the necessity of any further action in this city unless it is deemed necessary to have sign other than on top of Union Block which hardly seems necessary.

Events Moved Swiftly Tuesday Afternoon In Life of Thomp-
 son Man
Lived With First Wife But Few
 Months

Events moved swiftly in the life of Arthur Martin of Thompson, Tuesday afternoon. The young man was con- vlcted of n serious charge in the su- perior court and placed on probation, his wife of few months, who caused his arrest, divorced him, and he was married to a young woman with whom he had been living. All this happened within the hour.
 When court came in at two o'clock Martin was arraigned and pleaded guilty to abandoning his wife and liv- ing with another woman. The state $ attorney told the court that Martin married Miss Mertiline Crumb in Pennsylvania in 1924 He lived with her but few months and then left her. He returned to his former home in Thompson and has been living with another woman. The attorney said that Martin was in love with the Thompson woman and wanted to mar ry her and would marry her. Martin was sentenced to one year in jail and the execution of sentence suspended
 Then the Divorce
 Mrs. Martin was then called to the stand. She is comedy young woman and was dressed all in black. She said her maiden name was Mertiline Crumt and that she married Martin in Hazel ton, Pennsylvania, in July. 1924. She lived with him until the following July when he left her and that is the last she had seen of him. The di- voree was granted.
 It is understood that Mrs. Martin heard of the actions of her husband and learned of his interest in another woman. This brought her to Connec- ticut and she made complaint and her husband was arrested.
 No sooner was the tangle straight ened out than Martin and the woman with whom he has been living were married.
 During the court procedure and af- terward in the office of the states at torney, Martin and his first wife hard ly looked Ut each other. After the wedding the young man and his new bride were seen walking up Main street in earnest conversation and ap- parently happy.

roses that can be grown on soil

either, a soil that is even only
moderately fertile, and it will
almost take care of itself.
When you prepare your rose

that you select place where there
is a free circulation OF air. 1T is
