The Boy Scouts.

One addition and two applications
for membership were made at the last
Boy Scout meeting. The charter roll
has been closed and the troop is work
ing under the rules of the national
council, and applications for member
ship should be made two weeks in adj
vance. There are nearly enough names
upon the roll for patrol No. 3, which
probably will be reached at the next
session. Twenty were present at the
last meeting, and Carol Murch was
elected assistant troop scribe.
The date for the flag raising has been
changed as the time is too limited to
have it take place July 4. 1t probably
will occur about the middle of the
month. A baseball team has been or
ganized and the Boy Scout team expects
to cross bats with some neighboring
nine July 4. At the next meeting, Mon
day, July >, the tenderfoot rank will be
conferred upon the troop, when the tests

THE PUTNEY COLUMN
Mrs. Cookies Anniversary.

Sunday, June "a, was the I'D birth
day anniversary of Mrs. Helen p.
Cooke. No special observance was made
of the event, although her daughter,
Mae, wife of Herbert G.. NORWOOD of
East Barnet, and two children, Howard
and Clyde, are with her for a visit.
Mrs. Cooke was born in Jamaica June
"a, 1874, the oldest in family of five
children of Abial Philander and Phoebe
(Styles) Fuller. All of the children are
living except one, the youngest, Fred
Blandin Fuller, who died when n young
man. The others are Frank p. of South
Londonderry, Edgar l.. of Manchester
Depot (Vt.) and Abbie H., wife of Luke
T. Landman, a well-known merchant of
South Londonderry.
Mrs. Cooke is one of the older residents
of the town, and descendant of one of
the early settlers of West Hill, her
great grandfather, Abiah Fuller, who
saw service in the Revolutionary war,
coming to this town in 1913, from Re
hoboth, Mass. She is also descended
in direct line from Robert Fuller, who
came to this country from Southampton,
England in 1893, settling in Salem,
Mass. Mrs. Cooke is also n descendant
of Lamech Blandin, an early settler of
Brooklinc and active in the early his
tory of that town. Mrs. Cooke lives
with her older son, Earl f.. Fuller, on a
farm which has been in the possession
of the Fuller family continuously more
than - years. Her younger son is
Clifford II. Cooke of Springfield, Mass.
employed at the United States armory
who is planning to spend the week of
July 4 at his home here, the armory
closing down for one week for inven-
tory, repairs, alterations, etc. Mrs
Cooke has always led a very quiet life,
but by those who are so fortunate to
know her she is held in the highest
esteem. She is very active for her age,
both mentally and physically. She has
three children living, five grandchildren
and two grandchildren.

Soldier Fined for Stealing Cider.

Richard Fredette Of Middebury, sta
toned at the local armory with Company
/ of Brattleboro, was arrested at 10
o o'clock Monday evening and Tuesday was
brought before Judge T. +. O'Brien in
municipal court charged with larceny. He
pleaded guilty to the larceny of cider
which had been left in the storeroom of
the Howard Hardware company near the
depot by Mrs. Chapman of Alstead, y. H.,
last fall. He was fined Slj and costs.
Police Chief w. f, Severance had sus-
pectod for several days that supply OF
booze was hidden between the depot
and Bridge street. Last evening he and
j, C, Denison of the Hardware company
hid in the storeroom. In about an hour
Fredette made an entrance and was nabbed
by the police. There were two barrels and
a keg of cider; the contents of the keg
and part of one of the barrels was gone,
about 50 gallons being missing.
The inference is that guardsmen and
perhaps others have been helping them
selves for some time.

Green Mountain Boys Organize.

A new organization has bcen foimed
among the boys oi Putncy, known as the
Green Mountain Boys. The aim is to pro-
vide wholesome recreation for the boys, to
encourage attendance at church and
Sunday school and give useful and help
ful training along various lines. The club
motto, We Climb and Help Others Climb.
is good index of the aim and purpose OF
the club. The club meets one evening n
week in the Baptist church, the boys man
aging their own activities under careful
leadership. All boys between the ages of
eight and ID are eligible to membership.
While the club meets in the Baptist church,
any boy is welcome, the leaders having in
mind the welfare of the boys and the future
of Putney,-.
There are two kinds Of members, active
and associate Active members are those
who attend the Baptist church regularly.
Associate members share i'll all the week
day activities of the club, but are expected
to attend their own church and Bible school
on Sunday. This organization is not an OPP
position movement to the Boy Scouts, its
aim being to reach the boys who be
cause of age or other reasons cannot Join
that organization. The enrolment at
the present time numbers IL active mem
bers and four associate members. The
leaders of the club are Rev. r. p. Davis,
Roger Aiken and A. d. Taylor.
The last meeting was held in the Baptist
church Monday evening, when a business
meeting was held and a pleasant evening
spent. With the postcard protector be-
longing to the mems class, number of
local views were shown, adding much to
the enjoyment of the evening. The next

SUGGESTION TO HOUSEWIVES.
Board of Trade Secretary Says They
Should Ask Canvassers to Show Board
of Trade Certificate.

Secretary Herbert L. Stiegler of the
board of trade has called attention 10
he fact that numerous solicitors have
been canvassing Brattleboro for varion]
articles and charitable donations. Tie
suggests that when housewife is visited
by a solicitor she ask him for his board
of trade investigation card These cards
indicate that the solicitor has applied .
the board of trade for Il certificate thtt
he is canvasser for a legitimate bust
ness house in good standing and that the
board has investigated and approved the
Solicitor.
In connection with the statement by
Secretary Steigler is the report of one
of the insulting incidents that are so
frequent from certain class of can
Vassers. Yesterday a young man who
said his name is Snyder and his home
Schenectady, called at a residence and
asked the wife of the owner to subscribe
to three magazines. He said that he re-
ceives One.half of all subscription money
to aid him in making his way through
college. Tho magazines were not of the
kind generally known and the woman of
the house declined to subscribe. The
canvasser then made the insulting re
mark that people in small towns are
like Jews and decline to help anyone
but their own people.

Paul Revere Bell Damaged.

There is considerable local interest in the
rebuilding of the Walpole,. y. H., town hall
which was recently struck by lightning and
burned with loss of $4,000. 1t was an
historic building, part of the first meeting
house in Walpole which was moved from
Meeting House hill near Walpole village in
TO the village itself in 1925, an Alstead, n
IT,, man having the contract to move it for
$1,000. iIt'na 'I
After the old meeting house was located
ON its present site it was remodeled ant
added to several times. 1t had in it's towers
one of the very few real Paul Revere bells
This bell fell to the first floor during the
fire and was damaged but will be repaired
A warrant is. ont for special town meet
ing to be held july when rebuilding will
be considered.
1t is expected that Miss Fannie Mason,
a wealthy and public spirited summer resi-
dent, will offer financial assistance. 1t is
reported that she will furnish the services
of an architect and pay for the labor of re-
building. When asked regarding the report
Miss Mason said she had not yet made any
proposition to the selectmen but intimated
that she would later.
If the towns share of rebuilding is to
furnish the materials only, Walpole will
not sustain much of loss since the insur-
ance on the building was $4,000, Miss Mason
is a heavy property owner in Walpole, hay
several farms that aggregate 1900 acres OF
more.

No Discredit to Be Drafted
(St. Adams Messenger

There have been some very short
sighted, foolish attempts to east a degree
of discredit on the men who are to be
drafted for service in the national army
As matter of cold fact the draft will
extend farther than some seem to re
alize. The National Guard must be
drafted by the President before it can
be used for overseas duty. In this regard
the men in the National Guard and the
National army will occupy the same
status when they fight side by side in
France, and il will be mighty honor
able status. For it is an honor for a
man to be selected by the nation as one
of its chosen defenders.
