Willie Stribling is only rs years Of
age this year but the one-time Macon
Schoolboy is an old man, measured
by ring experience. Willie has had
about 275 fights in ten years as q
professional and as the main per-
former of the Stribling troupe. At
Miami Beach, they could have been
billed as the Five striblings Five"
with Me-, Pa, Willie. Herbie and VIII
lie Jr. In action.
The idea persists, chiefly in some
parts Of Dixie, that Stribling still
ranks around the top IN the list Of
heavyweight contenders. For in
stance, Cecil White Of Martinsville,
Va, writes as follows to this depart
ment:

the fight fans Of the South, In being
unable to understand why you and

REGULATES OUT DOOR
 ADVERTISING SIGNS
Requires Billboard. be Erected Ger
 tain Distance from Highway

That Connecticut is we'll advanced among states in the Identification of it's roads is indicated by the fact that it is one of the states with very we'll defined regulations governing commercial advertising signs on the the highways, according to survey of such laws compiled by the bureau of public roads.
 Connecticut is one of the four states in the country that require that all advertising signs be placed certain distances from public highways. and is one of the thirteen states that either require that advertising agen- cies be licensed and collect an annual fee for each sign, or impose a tax for each sign.
 The state is also one of the group that prohibit advertising signs upon any highway without consent of pro- per officials, and is also among anoth- CT group with laws against the cree ton on any highway of any danger or direction sign bearing commercial advertising.
 Further highway regulations in Connecticut outlaw signs which ob- seure clear vision of highways at curves, and also within 300 feet of any trunk line or state-aid highway bearing warning or direction symbols, according to the survey.

BINGHAM FAVORS
 EDITING TEXT BOOKS

Geographies and histories will stand in need of editing if bill written by Senator Hiram Bingham just pass ed by the Senate is passed by the House.
 The measure would provide that hereafter the Island of Porto Rico would be known as Puerto Rico, the original Spanish name of the Island.
 In urging approval of his proposal Senator Bingham explained that the Island was known for centuries by its Spanish name Puerto Rico. !" The United States, however, when it acquired the Island. changed the spell lin to Porto Rico and thereby of- tended the sensibilities of the people who have lived there for generations, the Connecticut Senator said.
 He told the Senate that the Porto Rican Legislature. by unanimous re- solution. is seeking to have the origi- nal Spanish name restored.

VEHICLE BUREAU

State Motor Departments Man ual Contains Valuable ln-
 formation For Drivers
Data on Reciprocal Priviledges in oth- CT States

The State Motor Vehicle Depart. ment has issued revised edition of "A Little Manual for Motorists con taining detailed information on mat. ters of interest to motorists, compiled by Deputy State Commissioner Nal eolm D. Rudd.
 The booklet contains advice and in- struction for all drivers. Motor ve- hicle laws are analysed and inter preted and their technical language explained. Equipment and accessories required by law are listed; the provi- sions of the financial responsibility law are explained; and several pages are devoted to miscellaneous informal tion. knowledge of which is essential to all drivers.
 Other data concerns hand signals, number plates, symbols. approved lighting devices and rehectors, high way signals. schedule of examina- tions for prospective operators and the location of State Police barracks and branch offices of the motor vehicle department.
 Of particular interest is a sum- mary of reciprocal privileges, extend ed to Connecticut motorists by other states, including information as to how long residents of this state may operate in any other without securing new licenses and registrations.
 Statistics show the prevelance of accidents and the manual contains an urgent plea for their reduction.
 Approximately 35.000 manuals are ready for distribution. Copies are be. ing sent to all persons on the depart. ment mailing list and may be obtained free of charge by making application to the bureau.

PUTNAM SCHOOLS
 BEING RENOVATED
Refinishing of Three Schools And New Heating Plant
 Planned
New Athletic Field to Be Dedicated
 in Fall

Putnam schools will take on a new usefulness this fall as extensive renovations and improvements are being undertaken under the direc- ton of the school committee of which Silas Wheelock and John Bulger are members. The schools principally affected are the East Putnam school which is being completely refinished outside and in; the State Trade school: the Israel Putnam school, and the Putnam High school.
 At the Israel Putnam School, four rooms will be completely gone over and redeeorated. At the High school five rooms will be rehnishcd as will the south entrance and the walls of the gymnasium and also the boys locker and cloak rooms, The out side of the school will be renovated and all woodwork refnished. A Worthneton return water pump will be installed in the Trade School which will also supply the heating for the High School and prevent a recurrence of last years closing be- cause of cold weather and insufficient heat.
 Athletic Ground Completed
 The new High School Athletic ground has been completed at cost of s2. 600 of which s1.475 was rais- ed by the Putnam Elks Lodge by means of bazaar and other enter tainments. The ground has all been remodelled and refilled giving alto gether something over four acres for football fields, a running track, baseball diamonds, two tennis courts, and other facilities. Bleachers seat ing 5f5 people are available and are SO built that they may be used either outdoors or in the gymnasium. These bleachers were purchased with a fund raised by MT. Bulger and l.. F. Moves by means of basketball games and other entertainments, last winter
 The field will be dedicated early in October with a football game be- tween Putnam and Northbridge High The Northbridge High school band. one of the finest in New Eng iand will be present.
 The new building and renovatine program. when finished will give Putnam one of the most attractive and up-to-date school plants in Con necticut.

ADVANCED IN CHILD
 LABOR LEGISLATION

Thet Connecticut is fairly we'll ad- vanced in it's child labor legislation is shown by the fact that it is one of the thirteen states in the country with fourteen years as the minimum age for young workers in factories and stores without any exemptions. according to a survey compiled by the children's bureau of the depart ment of labor
 Twenty-six other states also have a fourteen-year minimum, but with exemptions in certain cireumstan- stances. and two states. Utah and Wyoming, have no age minimum at all except that imposed indirectly by compulsory school attendance.
 Only seven states have higher minimum age for workers in factor ies and stores than Connecticut, the survey reveals.

BAD STORM PASSES
 BUT WORSE HEAT STAYS

It is fortunate that last Sunday was Sunday. for sleep on Saturday night was difficult enough what with the heat and one of the worst thun- aerstorms of the season which did rot even pay it's way by cooling the sir. A high wind at about midnight gave promise of relief from the sear- ing heat, even if 1t came at the ex- nense of vivid lightning and shatter- ing peals of thunder. The lightning and the thunder lived up to their part of the bargain but the heat re-
 used Co cooperate and when 1t was all over and timid souls had crept out from under the beds. fl was iust as hot as before. The thunder
 torm hung around for some time af- Ter the fashion of its kind and par ticularly infested the lakes where red campers had gone for peace.
 Nc damage was reported.

Summer Seeding of Alfalfa

As we go through the county we see an ever increasing amount of al- faifa being grown on an increasing number of farms. This shows that the dairymen are beginning to real ize the value of this crop as feed for all types of livestock.
 During the next month there will be many farmers planting summer seedlings of alfalfa. As matter of precaution it might be we'll to look out for the following necessities for seeding alfalfa: 1. Fertilizer.
 a. Lime.
 On unlimed land use three tons
 of limestone per acre or its
 equivalent and apply at least
 three months before seeding.
 On land lined within five years
 apply amount to meet the soil
 tests.
 b. Superphosphate.
 800 pounds of superphosphate
 per acre.
 c. Manure.
 Fifteen tons of manure per acre. 2. Seeding.
 a. Preparation.
 Plow well. harrow thoroughly.
 roll. SOW seed, cover with weed
 CT and roll.
 b. Seed.
 Certified. northern grown seed
 from known sources.
 lnoeulation is very important. Soil from an alfalfa fled used in amounts of about one quart to a bushel of seed is the best inoculant. There have been failures in growing alfalfa in the county due mostly to the fact that farmers have not followed the above outline in some one point. Each point is important in itself and should be followed out closely. When these points are followed closely an excel lent crop of hay should result and mean increased hay yields per acre, a saving on grain by the use of a lower protein ration and increased milk yields
 Hsassla hs -%1ry pleased to iIeip anyone with their problems in seed ing this crop if they would only let me know about them.

Control the Apple mAggot

This year special effort is being made to control the apple maggot in the United States, due to the fact that England has put an embargo on apples being shipped into that coun- try containing the insect While this may not affect any of our Windham County growers directly 1t affects them materially from the standpoint of the prices that they get for their product. If we did not have our ex- port trade in apples the prices on ap- ples would be very much reduced and consequently every effort pos sible Is being made to control this insect so that our apples may contin- ue to be exported to England.
 Recently Mir. Zappe of New Haven Experiment Station gave out the statement that the railroad work or apple maggot has started to emerge and that for the best control two sprays should be applied-one a. round July 10th and the other around July 25th. This spray should be made up of 25 pounds of Dry Mix and three pounds of arsenate of lead to each 100 gallons of water.
 Last year there was great deal of trouble from the Apple Maggot and much of the fruit was unsafe able from this cause. We sincerely hope that every fruit grower will CO., operate in this united effort to con- trol the apple maggot
