WORK TRAIN LABORER
 CRUSHED BY CRANE
Boom Falls and Fred Cournoy. CT of Lawrence Rushed to
 Hospital
One Leg Amputsled Below Knee
 Other Broken

Fred Cournoyer. 2i, of Lawrence, Mass, laborer on the work train out of Franklin, Mass, was badly injured by the falling of a boom on a derrick, Friday morning. The crew was at work in East Thompson when the nc cident happened and the injured man was brought Co Putnam railroad sta- ton on the train and taken to the hospital in the ambulance.
 Both cf Cournoyer's legs were frac- tured, the left leg being so badly splintered and crushed that 1t was necessary to amputate it below the knee. The mans jaw was also brok- en and he was suffering from internal injuries. He was placed on the danger list. Courneyer stood the operation well and Monday morning was report ed as showing improvement.
 Walked Under Boom
 The work crew was engaged in re- moving a stretch of track near West Thompson station. A crane was be- ing used to lift the heavy rails. Cour- noyer walked under the swinging boom cf the derrick just as it fell and was crushed to the ground. It is be- lieved that q pin became lose or that something broke.
 Word was sent to the Putnam rail- road station to have the ambulance ready. The injured man was put aboard the train and quick trip was made to Putnam.
 At the hospital the seriousness of the injuries were disclosed and it was determined that the loss of the left leg would be necessary to save the mans life. After the amputation he was watched for possible serious in- ternal injuries as he was badly bruis- ed about the body.

CARGUL TRUST co.
 RAISES DIVIDEND
Increases It's Rate to Savings Depcsitors to SEQ Per
 Anuun
Iastitusion Has Had Rapid. substan-
 tial Growth

Less than five years old, the Cargill Trust Company announces an in- crease in it's annual rate cf interest Co be paid savings depositors as Of June Ist, to 5I. This denotes that the institution has had a remarkable growth and a rapid one.
 When the Cargill Trust Company began business, less than i've years ago, it had a capital, and surplus ac- count of s150, ,000 Today it has com bined capital, surplus and undivided profits in excess of s300,000, or more than double the amount with which 1t started.
 This account. which safeguards the interests of it's dep0sitors, compares most favarably with other banks in the eastern part of the state, in fact throughout the state. It conserva- ively warrants the increase in the dividend rate at this time.
 The increase is in line with what some of the larger banks of the state are doing. While from time to time some of the banks of the eastern part of the state have declared extra dividends. the Putnam bank is among the first, 1T not the first, to put it's in- terest rate to depositors on yearly five per cent basis
 Directors Meet
 The directors met Friday and de- cided upon this course. They also declared the regular semi-annuai stock holders dividend of 39d and an extra lee dividend. At this meeting Dr. Jchn J. Russell was elected to the board of directors. Dr. Russell is one of the oldest practicing physicians in the city and is well known, not only in Putnam but throughout the surrounding towns and villages.
 In increasing the banks dividend rate the directors reasoned that the depositors and friends of the bank de- served part of the credit for the pros perity of the bank and that is was therefore only fair to the depositors that they be allowed to share in that pro sperity. This could be done, as the financial condition of the bank warrants it. in one of two ways-An extra dividend at this time or a per manent increased dividend rate to the depositors. 1t was reasoned that the latter course was the best, for it left no uncertainty in the minds cf the de- pesitors IS to what might De expected at each dividend period. It was this action that was unanimously decided upon for the best interest of deposit ors and as an acknowledgement of appreciation for their friendliness and business association @ith the bank.

Putnam theatre -goers win soon have an opportunity to see the talk ing picture which tended greatly to- ward revoutioni2ing the motion pie ture industry.
 This talking and singing film was initially the one which really made the American theatre-going public what might be called talkie-conscious. It was after this pictures sweeping success that public demand made it imperative that all the leading com panies produce pictures with sound and talking.
 Al Jolson American stage star DOT trays the role of a night club en- tertainer and as we'll as singing his usual remarkable manner in addition he shows that he can act as we'll Another hit was scored by "Dayy" Lee. juvenile actor playing the part of Sonny Boy" The feminine leads are ably taken care of by Miss Jos ephine Dunn and Betty Bronson.

It will be screened at the Bradley Theatre on Sunday and Monday-three shows Sunday at 2.3O, TOO and S.30 and at 2.30 and 500 on Monday, at regular prices.

EDDIE BOWLING HURLS DEFI
 AT FILM TRADITION
Initial Picture Plain Tale Without Customary Glitter and "Whoo-
 pee"

As a defiance to a seeming tradi- tion of the screen, namely that pie ture has to be a lot of Roman baths, roguish ladies. rococo sets. rowdy villains and rcistering nereids to make it ''clicker" we have "The Rainbow Man" built upon a simple story. plus Eddie Bowling and his singing.
 This human and unextravagant theme "got them" in New York, when it premiered there last April, and it didn't take veteran showmen very long to tell George w. Weeks and O. F. Gcebel, it's producers, that their first talking, singing venture was 'in."
 The story of minstrel man and his love for a girl and a small boy, and the boys love for his dog. is one of the simplest themes which has ever been put into n picture. The fact that it is a smash-hit lies in the sincerity of the portrayals of their roles by Eddie Bowling, Marian Nix on and Frankie Darro, the boy All have excellent talking voices, and Bowling of course is a marvel at putting a song across. He has been a Broadway musiccmcdy success for nearly ten years.
 There are many laughs in the play
 al of them based on clean, human and there are a few tears. In the end the rainbow comes shining through-not because the hero makes s stack of gold by lucky break and not because the husband divorces the wife who ran away with his best friend. but, because the hero finds true ungilded lcve.
 "The Rainbow Man" comes Co the Bradley Theatre for three days be- on Tuesday next.

PUTNAM WOMAN ON
 TRIP TO ICELAND

Miss Alice Smith, aunt of Mrs. James English and of Miss Esther Welles, Red Cross nurse, left We'd nesday for a cruise to Iceland, a coun- try she has visited before. Contrary to common belief, Miss Smith says, Iceland is not as desolate and sparsely populated as many picture it.
 'siand of the Midnight Sun," pie lures barren waste which is chilly and dreary, where the inhabitants live in ice-built ingloos and dress in rein deer skin. This is true in the winter season when the thermometer regis ters sixty degrees below zero, but Is not uneanf o-tHbia h th SC who pre- pare Co meet it and a-e accustomed to t
 Miss Smith spoke of Reykjavik. the capital. This she said is not at all q city of ice and snow but is c0lorful with dtoryard peoples and Towering windows lt is a world outpost almest on the Arctic Circle. A city of the Vikings and a true capital with Par liament House, cathedral. museums, statues, and an annual festival, ob- served at the time the cruisers visit. This is when the shops display their choicest wares, ilaxen-haired women don their old national costumes, full skirted and embroidered. There are athletic contests and features such as are seen on similar occasions in the temperate zone.
 Oldest Parliament
 The nearby country, however, is sparsely settled, treeless. grim with age and sternly impressive. North ward lies Thingvellis, q vast river traversed crater, famed for it's being the meeting place of Europe's eldest parliament. The Thing" as it is call ed has met every summer for nine centuries and will celebrate its thous- andth anniversary next year.
 Geographically Thingyellis is won derful and even the layman can here read chapter of the formation of the earth. To the eastward lies the gla- cier, groved iceland mountains and far of islands. To the south is a typical fishing village Miss Smith says that Iceland, because of the depth of its green-colered ice, might fttingly be called "Greenland."
 Iceland is the farthest point north on the cruise. Miss Smith expects Co be gene for a number of weeks.
