THAT Market gardens are ahead of most years. Sweet corn is in, or will be within the week. All kinds of vegetables are thriving and ripening ahead of the usual season. It IS also reported that there is to be large apple crop. Blueberries are also plen- tiful. A small portion of meat and generous helpings of vegetables, with plenty of fruit for dessert is healthy summer diet. However. not many Of us can resist the juicy blueberry pie; nor the applie pie, that delectable but digestion destroying dessert that contains much acid and sugar, made even more attractive by cut of cheese or a dash of ice cream.

THEY SAY

THAT-We wonder what some of the old railroad men who used to car ry a bellr0pe the length of the train would do nowadays with freight trains over a mile and haf long Tn the old days before air brake were known on freight cars beilrope was stretched from the locomotive to the caboose So that if the train broke apart the bell in the locomotive would ring and notify the engineer that al was not well. We can remember the old Boat Freight that leit Putnam early in the evening. Boys would md it interesting Co stand on tie railroad embankment and watch the braee- man take the bellcord in hand and start walking the length of the train as it got under way. With the at ,aching of air brakes to freight cars this antiquated custom was discarded. It would be some hike for the brake if today be had to carry and pull belIrope over lS7 cars equal to a n'ile and seven tenths.
 Recalling the Boat Freight also brings to mind the Fish Train This train passed through Putnam about seven o'clock each evening from Boston. It was rather a lengthy train and all of the ears were loaded with fish for the New York market. A brakeman on this train always board ed the train in a spectacular manner and people gathered at the station evenings to see him do it. He would remain standing on the station plat form as the train got under way. By the time the passenger coach on the rear end reached the spot where he stood the train was under consider able headway making for the up- grade south of the city. As the first car steps came abreast of him the brakeman would grab for the iron rail and swing himself gracefully on board. i Whether people watched him night after night thinking that some time he would miss and they would see him deeapitated, or some other gruesome sight, only they know, but there was always q gathering at the old railroad station between the tracks opposite the Putnam News Company's store when the Fish Train pulled out. EiA UE ttfM iNt4itoiA k0lAhH standpipe has received it's last coat of paint-we hope. As each coat was applied the color bordered more and more on the yellow.

A business man believes that it should have the word Putnam" painted ol 1t, partly as an advertisement t1t more for the convenience of those passing through the city tha. they may know what town they are ID. And now we have heard, indirectly however. that the Baroness von Kief- fer, who is an artist, has noticed the new tower and believes it might be camoufaged with floral decorations.

THAT-Iu is to be hoped that the New Industries Committee of the Put nam Chamber of Commerce may be successful in inducing the prospect seeking LOGO feet of floor space to become one of our manufacturing en- terprises. If it is money that is need ed the people will be told of it all in good time and then will be determined whether or not we are willing to spend a few thousand to get back many. Another $200,000 payroll added to those already being distributed, and then another, and yet another, and Putnam will soon be back to former prosperity and passing it's most sue cessful years. If few thousand dol lars is all that is needed 1t would seem as if they might be raised easily for so profitable an investment. The type of concern that the Chamber of Com merce seeks to locate here is not the struggling concern demanding that citizens invest in it's stock. With pres ent competition, however, the most substantial eopcerns are demanding concessions, such as free rent for a term. or moving expenses, or the like, that will deere ise the substantial cost of changing location.

Ir,surgent Chiefs
Hurrying to Rio to
Form Government

RIO DE JANEIRO, Oct. IS
QN.S0 With the federal gov
ernment Of Brazil overthrown by
a revolutionary coup d'etat and
President Washington Luis and
several Of his ministers held
prisoners at Fort Copacabana, a
council Of northern and southern
insurgent leaders was scheduled
in the Capital today to halt the
last vestige Of civil war and form
new government.
The capital had regained its
complacence and disorders dis
appeared. An untoward military
incident occurred yesterday when
the German ship Baden was fired
upon from shore batteries while
steaming out of Rio De Janeiro,
a score Of Spanish emigrantS
aboard were killed or wounded.
ReparatiOn Pledged
The provisional government
promised full reparation.
A provisional junta, composed
Of General Fragosa, General
Barreta and Admiral Moronha,
ruled the land today, but it was
generally believed this emergency
body would be Of short duration.
DR.. GetNlio Vargas, president Of
the State Of Rio Grande Do Sui
and one of the outstanding re-
volt leaders, announced himself
In absolute opposition to keeping
control of the government in the
hands of any military group.
The exact relations between
insurgent leaders remained un-
certain.
The final success of the rebel
lion seemed assured with the sur
render of Sac Paulo, rich seaport
and coffee exporting center, after
the appointment of Gen. Hastim-
philo Moura, federal commander
of the Sac Paulo sector, as State
president by the Rio de Janciro
junta.
All Fighting Halted
His first act was to halt fur
ther fighting in Sac Paulo and
MinaS Geraes. A proclamation
ending the state of civil war and
ordering all troops back to bar
racks ended hostilities in the
south.
The entire country during the
night reported continued quiet,
With the populace, nation wide,
apparently jubilant at the over
throw Of the constitutional gov
ernment. '''-'''

IN DEATH
Of GIRL Is .

DETROIT, Oct. IS GN.s)-
The badly decomposed body Of
15-year-old Alice Collier, who had
been missing since August 2, was
found today on an isolated farm
near here.
Police had believed that Alice,
blue eyed, authenticated and large
for her age, ran away, but the
discovery was evidence, police
said, that she had been kidnapped.
Doctors expressed the belief
that the child had been strangled.
The body was too badly decon1-
posed to determine whether she
had been assaulted. A plain gold
child's ring was missing.
Albert Dodson, %, was arrested
shortly after the girls mother,

Charles F. Carusi, president Of

"This is not an educational

There are many questions to

be formulated until a conference
is held between the defense and
prosecuting counsel.
Lucian H. Vandoren, member
of the defense counsel, was deS-
ignated to meet with Mr.. Col
lins today and discuss possible
arrangements for a test by eX-
perts of the alleged death re-
volver. Mr.. Vandoren said:
1--WE Of the defense are not
concerned with Colonel God
dard's ability to distinguish
bullets fired from q half dozen
or more revOlvers. We do not
think the jury in this case
should be concerned with this.
But we are concerned with
Colonel GOddard's ability to
distinguish bullets fired from
the revolver in this case and his
reason for holding the bullets
were fired from the revolver"
Yesterdays session was largely
consumed by testimony of Capt.
Edward j. Kelly, assistant chief
of the Detective Bureau and
that of Colonel Goddard.
Shows Great Memory
Captain Kelly exhibited a re-
markable memory in relating
dates, conversations with Mr..
Campbell and the latter's move
mentS during the earlier investi-
cation of the case.
The detective detailed converse
tions with Mr.. Campbell cor
roborated in previous testimony
that the defendant had admitted
he had told "a pack Of lies" con-
corning his movements on the
day Of the murder, and the story
of the mysterious stranger with
the wart on his nose," had been
made up.'
Captain Kelly said that on July
4 Mr.. Campbell asked him
whether he believed the story
about the "wart nosed man."
The detective testified Mr..
Campbell had said:
eff you don't believe that
story I'll be damned If I'll work
with you or any other Wash.
ingtOn detectives"
On one occasion when Captain
Kelly called on the defendant, the
latter complained that news
papernen were riding me-" The
witness testified Mr.. Campbell
said:
i"KelIy, the newspapermen
are on my back, and I wish
you would pun them off for
me-"
Captain Kelly then said to the
man:
"Well, Mr.. Campbell, that's too
bad, but I. myself, have a time
keeping them off of my own
back"
During the questioning of
Colonel Goddard, Mr.. Smith ex.
hibited a most comprehensive and
intelligent knowledge Of firearms,
and the gun expert said it was
about the most thorough he had
ever undergone during his long
career.
Members Of Mr.. Campbell's
family said they were highly
pleased that such q proposed bal
liStic test was to be made. Frank
Campbell. the accused's brother,
said:
II have always been confident
that Herbert is innocent. Now
with the tests to be made, I am
sure we have nothing to fear.
We welcome them gladly"
