AWARDED CUP
Stanton D. wieks Gets Trophy for Per
 cherons
tiis Fine Horses Becoming Widely Known

The fine showing of thoroughbred Percherons of stanton D, Wicks of Pomfret at Brooklyn fair attracted much attention. He was awarded the beautiful silver cup of the Per eheron Society of America, offered to the exhibitor showing the finest two mares and foal, for three magnificent imported Percherens--a stallion and two mares, one of the latter with foal. Blue ribbons went to Beeeher Brown of Plainteld and A, C. Tillinghast of the same town, among the other nu- merous awards made.
 MT. Wicks' showing of Pereherons attracted unusual attention. Jans, the stallion, was foaled April 10, 1909, on the same date as Jouvance, one of the mares in hts string. Judee, the other mare, was foaled May 20, 1909. These horses were imported from France in 1912. With Judee was stud colt, foaled at Pomfret April 20 of this year. | Ovid, as the colt is named, weighed 69o pounds Thursday. He gets for a ration of grain each day i-2 quarts of oats and l.2 quarts of bran, and all the hay he can clean up. lie is q | magnificent specimen uf his breed, fast developing into such splendid ami mals as his sire and dam-Jans and Judee. This ponderons pair, Jans weighing 1850 pounds, are not show animals merely and of no other use than to display their glossy coats, their | arched necks and other points of ad- miration, but are real service horses. During the past summer Jans and Judee worked side by side in double harness on Doane Hall farm, MT. Wicks' Pomfret place, doing All that any pair of horses are expected to do on farm --and more than most small Ter horses could possibly do on account of physical limitations. Jans is AS gentle as kitten, but full of life and spirit.
 These Percherons - prize winners anywhere--were greeted by rounds o' applause from the stands as they were led preneing down the track to come under the eyes of the judges. Mir. Wicks is great believer in the eff iiciency of Percherons flor New Eng land farm work and Is something of q pioneer in the work of making the breed popular in this section of Con- | necticul.

Solicitors Did Not Receive Warm
 Welcome.

A couple of colored women deeorat- ed in badges and ribbons recently came to Putnam for the purpose of solicit ing funds and were politely told by the authorities that 1t would be just as well if they passed this city by. The women had credentials galore and were supposedly soliciting for 'the benefit of orphans but when closely questioned they admitted that the or phans had not yet been selected for the bestowal of their bounty. A Put nam gentleman of the cloth took an interest in the matter .and called sev- eral societies in Providence from where the women said they came and al- though no positive proof that the wo- men were frauds was forthcoming it was stated that so far AS known the society which they were representing had not done dollars worth of good in the field of charity. In the future, persons coming to Putnam to solicit money will have to show the authori- ties that they are bona tide representa- tiyes of some reliable society before they will be allowed to work the city. People are too free to give to strangers of whom they know nothing and while there are of course many worthy solicitations for money yet there ara many frauds perpetrated under the guise of charity.

A COINCIDENCE
Putnam Bank in Black List
Reserve of 70 per cent. Was Merely &
 Coincidence

Among the few National banks In Connecticut put In the ,so.called "black list" by Secretary of the Treas. ury MeAdoo appeared the name of the First National Bank Of Putnam with reserve fund of 29 per cent. Secre- tary McAdoo got statement from all of the National banks as of Sept. 18th. The banks are required by law to keep on hand reserve fund of 10 per cent Banks that were above that per cent. were made into list by the secretary and the names of the banks published in a so-called "black list" on the ground that they were hoarding money.
 When asked about the matter C.. Harold Gilpatric, cashier of the Put. nam bank, stated that the fact that the Putnam bank was listed with the others was merely coincidence. A bout three days prior to the day upon which the statement was called for the city of Putnam had sold Sl00, 900 worth of it's issue of sewer bonds and this money was on deposit when the statement was made for the secretary which brought the reserve up to the 29 per cent. The money was only in the bank temporarily and when paid out the reserve of the bank would only be Is or IT per cent Most of the other Connecticut banks had similar expla- nations showing that there is no at- tempt being made to hoard money in this state. Several of the banks stated that they had money on hand to meet demands for payrolls or other pur- poses when the statement of the secre. tary was asked for. The Putnam bank is making loans at the usual rate of interest and there is no attempt be- ing made to hoard money as might ap- pear from the secretaryis statement if no explanation was forthcoming,
