WEDNESDAYS PROGRAM
 ONE OF SERIOUSNESS
Little Inclination Shown to Repeat
 Noisy Celebrating.

Blowing the top off the town was not included in the program of the observance of the Fourth in Putnam this year. No year in the memory of the present generation was marked H.- a quieter observance tha nthat of 1917.
 There was of course. some noise. but 1t didn't measure up to any more than sideshow proportions compared to what was considered the regular method Of celebrating back in the days when q who;e lot of things went that are now under the ban.
 The fact that a citv ordinance that forbids the sale of fireworks was in VoI<ed and resulted in greatly cutting down the sale of such articles in Put nam this year was one reason why Putnam had such a quiet holiday. An other reason seemed to be that tbs minds of many young men who usually celebrate are fixed on real war and the mimic varfaring Of the Fourth this year held little appeal for them.
 The night before was quiet too. Of .1cers on duty found little need to ad- monish anybody and on y one arrest was made. This was of man who was charged with having been intoxi- cated when he appeared in court We'd nesday morning, his case being con tinued for a month
 He had been ordered off the street by an officer and told to go home about 10 o'clock Tuesday night He didn't go home then. but appear red later with a hatchet and an inclina- tion to question the right of anybody to chase him off his round Of pleasure. He was convinced that this could be done, however.
 Alleged Illegal Sales of Fireworks.
 M. J. Lynch and R. w. Rabbit. pro- prietors of business places here. were ordered on the Fourth to appear in the city court this morning to an swer to an inquiry relative to an ale gation that they soc fireworks con trary to the provisions of a city ordi- nance.
