Ashford voted for Riddick and Tatem of Eastford also voted for him. The other votes in the two towns went to Macdonald
 While John B. Byrne and Judge Childs were seeking the candidate, Mir. Potter brought forward his reso- lution. Its first form was that the convention pledge the candidate to vote for the constitutional amend ment
 Before the discussion was conclud- ed MT. Macdonald arrived. He was greeted with applause when he enter ed the room. He said he did not know what he could say or what was expected of him. but that he had been a republican since he was made voter. He said that if Mir. Riddick had received the nomination no one would have worked harder for him than he would He said he had al- ways stood by the party principles. He had apparently heard some of the discussion regarding the constitution al amendment as he entered the room for he said that no man knows what Archie Macdonald is going to do; that he had a pronnness to states rights and referendum, but had not made up his mind just what he should do. He said he had promised no man how he would vote, but that he would vote as he found his constituency wanted him to vote He spoke of his vote on the Sunday law and other measures. and said they were all an open book and on record.
 The resolutions committee had pre- scented resolutions endorsing the state ticket and MT. Macdonald.
 It was to this that MT. Potter offer ed an amendment that the conven- ton pledge it's candidate for the pro hibition amendment. He subsequent ly agreed to make this as special re- solution and the resolution as pre- pared by the committee was passed. When it was objected to having the candidate pledged MT Potter made | his motion to read that it was the sense of the meeting that the candi- date be requested to vote in favor of the prohibition amendment. This brought forth considerable discus sion. Mir. Potter thought the people had a right to know how the condi- date stood on this important question and that as he had failed to declare | himself and wanted to know how the district felt about the matter, that il was a good opportunity to find out by the representative gathering present Dr. Pike and Rev MT Chase sup ported Mir Potter Others who ex- pressed themselves in favor of the amendment personally, thought that the resolution was out of place and was 70 much like pledge. On a roll III ,.e4e II voted no and 8 yes, so ttr motion was lost.
 The senatorial district committee appointed by the chair was the same as for the last two years: E. L. Dar- by, Danielson, chairman; Charles E. Searls and Charles L. Torrey, both of 1 Putnam

E. C. ROGERS RETURNED sATUR
 DAY

Landlord E. c. Rogers of the Put nam Inn returned Saturday evening from his annual hunting trip to the wilds of New Brunswick.
 Mir. Rogers did not shoot moose as he saw none that suited him. Hav- inc shot numerous moose whose heads adorn the hotel, MT. Rogers does not care to shoot them simply for the sport of shooting Unless he can get q head that suits him he does not kill, and this was so on this trip.
 Game was plentiful, however. one of the party got a good head, and deer and birds were plentiful. mos. I Corcoran, who went with MT. Rog- CTS from Putnam. was obliged to re- turn a day or two after reaching camp on account of business demands

PICKED RIPE STRAWBERRY THIS
 WEEK
Brought to The Patriot Office and
 Now Marked Exhibit B."

Victor Chapdelaine. Church street, went fishing over at Keach's pond one day this week. It is not known how many fish he caught, but he found a large, ripe strawberry and picked it, stem and all. Seeing IS be- lieving, they say, and as MT. Chapde- laine sent the ripe, red fruit to The Patriot, we are convinced.
 A few days ago appeared in the Hartford Courant little item as fol lows:
 East Glastonbury wins. A young woman of that place picked blueberries October 1. They were turned over to the Courant as "Ex- hibit A Next"
 The Patriot offers the strawberry as Exhibit B." and like the Courant awaits the next.

HEALTH OFFICER REPORTS
 EPIDEMIC DECREASING
THERE HAVE BEEN l74 CASES REPORTED FOR THE
 WEEK ENDING THURSDAY NIGHT
Schools Are to Be Kept Closed indefinitely

Putnam schools gave notice this Fri day morning that the high and public schools of the town will not open Monday as intended earlier in the week. but will keep closed indefinite ly While no reason was given, in all probability this is on account of the big increase in the number of cases on Thursday.
 The healta officer reports seven deaths during the week, He says that the cases for the most part continue to be mild ones. One set back the physicians have is the fact that many ! patients refuse to stay in bed but in sist in getting up as soon as they feel little better, and often suffer a re- l lapse.

Each Allied nation-n tile matter Of
sugar consumption-is sharing OH near

Imposed by greutly altered conditions
in the world sugar situation.
Formerly classed as a luxury, sugar
is now war time essential. The fair
and just division of this essential is
in the hands Of the various Allied
food controllers.
The United States Food Administra.
ton has asked this nation to observe
q voluntary sugar ration of two
pounds per person month.
In the other countries Mt war with
Germany sugar is one of the scarce
articles on every menu-whether in
the households Of both rich and poor,
or in the hotels.
England today has q sugar ration

In France the ration is a pound and q

tries are from two to three times as
high as in America.
II you go to hotel in England or
France these days and order tea or
coffee they serve absolutely no sugar

bring 1t with you.
In England 1t is allowable to use
one-seventh of an ounce of sugar in
the preparation of each luncheon. In

Harmon In Communi.
cation On Loyalty

during the Civil War with the First
Minnesota; was wounded at Get
tysburg and resigned from the reg
ular army in 1870.
There are always people in every
community, who are prone to crit
icise the motives Of those of us who
are not afraid to do our duty. The
time has come for people to show
BY their work and deeds how loyal
they can be, instead of telling what
they would like to do.
Don't deceive yourselves into
false security that our boys already
have the German Army whipped
and that we need not exert our
selves much longer. There is a vast
difference between fighting battle
of maneuver as against ole Of often
sive against fortified positions.
There isn't a doubt in the world
about our Army going to be victor.
ious, but we must realize that it is
a long way to Berlin, and that it is
up to everyone Of us to do; not only
our bit, but all we are capable Of
doing from now until the dawn of
peace.
Those Of you who are going to
have a surplus Of money after the
crops are marketed should think
twice, before you decide to take an
extended tour or vacation to spend
your money for your own pleasure.
Ii YOU have any money to spend,
let it work for Uncle Sam-buy
Liberty Bonds, w. W. s.. donate
to the Rcd Cross, Y. NJ. G. A., K.
c., S. A. and all other agencies of
good. Postpone that vacation, wait
I'm til your soldier boys come home,
maybe some of them would ap-
preciate a vacation then.
Some of you could profit by the
example the Indians have set by
their Red Cross work, as we'll as
their showing on the field of battle.
The Indian is the real 100 per cent
American. He never complains
when he is asked to help in the
great cause. He feels that he can
not do enough. He knows that
America is his home and he stands
ready and willing to give his all, as
he has done in the past to drive out
of our land and out of the world
the last influence of German DOM
nation.
Those of you who forget your
oath of allegiance to Our Flag
will have a day OF reckoning. Those,
of you who donate less than you
are able, or who complain or pro-
test against our food regulations or
other orders, you will live to regret
your selfish attidue.
! know that there are a great
many people, men, women and
children who are doing all they can
to aid every undertaking toward
winning the war and those who
refuse or hold back are a disgrace
to their community. Since it has
been proposed to extend the draft
to men up 10 46 years of age,
it has caused some more people to
worry. They are the kind who
would rather let someone else do
their fighting and be allowed to
make an easy living.
God hates coward. Those of
you who are of no help or benefit
toward producing something es-
sential, who are still finding ex-
cuses to avade the duty of loyalty
your day as a Stacker is at an
end. Get busy and do something
worth while and when those of us
who return after the day CT victory
you will he able to meet US with
look in the eyes that will cause you
no regret and with the satisfaction
that you did your duty too, by
keeping the home fires burning.
Sincerely yours,
j. r. Harmon.
