than they have been at any time. Inc
results obtained by the experimental
stations in Queen Anne's county have
aroused the attention Of manufactur-
ers and it is reported that Kent ap-
peals to them as the best place for
central plant. A factory of the sort
contemplated would receive the flax IN
bundles of straw from the growers,
would red, scutch and seed it in prep
aration for the manufacture of linen
thread. The Kent County Chamber
of Commerce has been following close
ly the development of the experiment
for the past two years and feel that
it is advisable for Kent's farmers, who
are interested in the possibility of a
new and good-paying crop, to use one
quarter or one-half an acre of their
land for an experimental crop this
season. Those who may desire to try
it out can learn about the preparation
of the ground, the manner of sowing
ard all points concerning the raising
of flax by getting IN touch with John
Chambers at Centreville, Md. The
firm of Lowry and Grant, Inc, 70 East
15Oth Street, New York City, have
said, informally, that they would take
amounts of flax which Kent's farmers
may grow this year. A definite ar
rangement could be made with the
firm at the above address and would
be the wisest course so that no grow
er would meet with disappointment.
The flax raised within short distance
Of Kent last season was said by ex-
perts to surpass any they had ever
seen in this country or abroad.

his role as the detective in "While the

guage Of its own, the star declares,

speaks OF "F'risking" him. "Frisk-

the prisoner for a gun. "Mugging"

means taking his fngerprints. "Tak-

HoBoEs DISAPPEARING
Knights of the Rail are Few in the
 Nutmeg State

Train-ridiue hoboes stay away from Connecticut, or else 'Connecti- cut trains and trainmen entertain a greater respect for the knights of the rail than is exhibited by trains and train personnel in other parts of the nation.
 One or these two conclusions, or perhaps a combination of both, would seem justified in the face of a report just issued by the interstate com merce commission which reveals that while 42A hoboes were killed and BPS were injured in train accidents last year the country over. only one tramp was killed and none were injured in railroad mishaps in the Nutmeg state.
 Connecticut was one of the ten states in the union which reported either one or no fatalities to hohoes riding the rods in 1928. Three states. Vermont. Rhode Island. and Massa- ehusetts reported neither fatalities nor injuries.

MRS. EDWIN HOPKINS GOLD STAR MOTHER
stepson Harry C. Hopkins Killed In Last Charge In Ar gonne Forest, Died of His Wounds Oct. 7, 1918.

Recently The Patriot printed a story about the pilgrimage being ar- ranged for Gold Star mothers and all women standing in loco parentis Co boys who died in the service and were buried over seas. it was stated that so far as known there are no mothers living in Putnam entitled to make the pilgrimage. While this still remains a fact there Is one woman in Putnam who would be eligible to make the pilgrimage were it not for the fact that her step-son, who died from wounds received in action, was brought home to be buried in Daniel son.
 Mrs. Edwin O. Hopkins, School street, is step-mother of Harry C. Hopkins. While young Hopkins en- listed at New London, where he was employed, at the age of 26, his par ents were living in this city. He en- tered the army February 27, 1918 and October Ith was wounded dur ing the last drive of the Argonne forest. Three days later he died of his wound, which was near the heart.
 Buried on Battle Field
 Hopkins was buried on the battle field October 10th. It was not until July 2s. 1921, that the body finally reached this country and the follow ing Saturday. July 31st, funeral service was held in Danielson.
 Hopkins was born in Putnam. His own mother died when he was five years old and he soon left with his fnthaa to live elsewhere and had work cd in Worcester, New London and oth sr places. His father married again ana Was living in Putnam during the war. He has since died but Mrs. Hopkins still lives in the home on School street The bridge over the Little River was made memorial e young Hopkins as the first Putnam boy to pay the supreme sacrifice on foreign soil.
 If there are mothers or those standing in loco parentis to boys Ri led in the service and buried over seas they should make themselves known, especially if they desire to make the trip, all expenses paid, being arranged for next year.
