THE DAY AFTER
Town in Rosy Mood Thinking How
 Big Send-of Day Really Proved.

l In the light of another day and af- ter thoroughly assimilating impress siOns, it was unanimously declared by Putnam citizens Friday that Thurs days demonstration for the certified men was the greatest ever.
 Old residents say that they cannot recall any event approaching it as a demonstration of patriotism and of the
 we're with you boys" spirit, and Put nam is proud. as 1t certainly has a right to be. though giving full. credit to all of the people and all of the towns that helped make such a glori- ous send-off.
 Committees Acknowledgement.
 The committee that had charge of the arrangements gave out a state ment Friday, thanking all citizens and organizations in this district for their spontaneous and patriotic aid, espec- tally thanking the local board of ex- emption. the bands, the speakers, those who assisted in the dinner. the marshal and his aids. the merchants and manufacturers and all those who took part in the parade, for their un- tiring assistance in thes program.
 The committee expressed the hope that their words of appreciation would be considered coming also from the great body of citizens of the town and city of Putnam as the reception was given by them.
 The statement was signed by Harry c. Meinken, Richard German. Leon N. Walker, James B. A. Knowiton Si- las M. Wheelock, Charles E. Dean, Arthur s. Hardy, Joseph J. Dupre. F. E. Cunneen, Charles w. Clark, and Ernest c. Morse, chairman.

 Woodstock, Conn.,, Sept. 21.-Today was annual fair day at the grounds of the Woodstock Agricultural society and the surrounding county towns tors through the gates of the grounds that sit high on the hills of this his- toric old township.
 The fair this year was a "one day. fair. and for this reason everyone in terested in the annual exhibition seemed to be anxious to make a point of being here. There was an entry day this year. of course, but the plan of holding the fair two days, as has been the custom in the past, was changed in this year of war. for men are busy and time. as well as food, and other things must be conserved in the interest of the nation.
 Genuine Agricultural show.
 Entering into the preparations with the same splendid spirit as has all ways made possible the success of Woodstock fair. the society members didn't skimp a whit on exhibitions. The fair was fine and in every sense a clean, well conducted agricultural show, with none of the frills or fan cies that have turned some alleged fairs into little better than carnivals Of tinseled entertainment. The fair management was pleased, and even surprised, late Friday af ternoon over the manner in which the
  any fears that they had entertained over the change to one-day session injuring the fair were completely swept aside. 1t
 Excellent Exhibits.
 The features at the fair this year were much the same as in other years. The exhibition bui1ding was given over to showing of the products of the soil and of the, trees and dairies of the surrounding country, all com bining to demonstrate that the Wood stock section Of the county is still primarily agricultural and successfully and increasingly scientifically so. There were fine shcwings of vegeta- bles. fruit. honey. pastry. butter and many other such products.
 Putnam business men occupied lib eral space in the buildings ill show ing their wares. There were interest ing exhibits of fall garments by B. D. Bugbee mems clothing by the Church company and special lines bv the Isaac Champeau company. A fea ture in this ments. including womanalls. which are finding favor among many girls who. work Misses Irene Champeau and Irene Frasier were in charge of this booth. Ballard and Clark showed stoves and ranges.
 Norwich Exhibitors. The aut-Cadden- company of Nor. WlCn ha0 a SnOWlnS or payer and victrolas, sAdelard Morin being in charge of the exhibit. The horticultural and fine arts dis plays were also made in the exhibi | lion building. which was crowded with l visitors throughout the day.
 Cattle and Poultry. This years cattle show at the fair 1 was one of the best and there were 1 also a great many. entries of fine birds | IT the poultry building.
 >Fakirs Drivsn Out. Out on the grounds the fair-goers 'ound much to keep them busy. The l Isual tented attractions were all cen CTS for Investigating, including some It which smooth gentlemen were empting the incautious to fall fer ,ames that were palpably raw. This punch didn't last long.
