FLAG PRESENTATION.
Home Guard to Receive National En-
 bIen From Relief Corps.

Putnam's Home Guard will be pre- sented a flag Wednesday evening on the square, near the post office at a patriotic rally to which all of the peo- pie of the city are bidden. The flag is the gift of A. G. Warner Woman's Relief Corps of this city.
 The ceremony will be made of such an inspiring nature as to generate a patriotic feeling that 1t is hoped will find 8, response in this city from the young men who are wanted for vol unteers in the regular army and na- tional guard.
 During the present week an active campaign to raise Windhan county's quota for the army is to be made in the several towns and especially here in Putnam, which city has no organ ization that is likely to be called fer service outside of Connecticut.
 Civil war records show that Put nam responded nob1y to the call that meant desperate battle for the pres ervation of the union and that the men who answered that call fought with all the heroism that has since and annually honored for more than half century by the people of their home town.
 Today that call to war again sounds. and Putnam will not be found want ing. There are more records of vafor to be written, another battle for world wide liberty to be fought and Put nam will do it's share in the great struggle.
 The campaign here will be under the direction of c. Harold Gilpatrtc. member of the state council of de- fence.

Reports from committees, coming in constantly Monday afternoon, were rapidly swelling Putnam's contribu = ton to the Red Cross war fund to proportions indicating hope that the l5.000 apportionment for this district might be reached.
 Mrs. A. R. Cole, who is in charge of the tabulation at the rooms of the Chamber of Commerce, said at 4.30 o'clock that reports received up to that time had swelled the fund to more than s4.000, and that it seemed safe to say that the days returns would bring the amount up to s4. 500.
 Mrs. Cole said that there had been some agreeable surprises, among them telephone calls to increase the origi- nal amounts pledged as subscriptions from various sources.
 The canvass was actively going on throughout the city while Mrs Cole was busy at headquarters. so it was impossible to keep close check on the
