PUTNAM
 A chorus of bells and whistles pro- claimed Bulgaria's collapse to the peo- pie of. Putnam Monday afternoon. Spe- cial messages that had been coming m from shortly after the noon hour removed all doubt as to the good news being true, and at 3.45 the whistles be- gan to shriek out the Bulgar's swan song.
 As the news was net generally known the sounding of whistles and bells started flood of teleptane calls from people who wanted to know what was doing. The news was hailed with delight by all who heard it, and many predicted it was the first i'll a series of such events that will follow in not long delayed order to cheer Americans on to final and complete victory. "Tur- key, Austria, and Germany" is the or der in which the foreeasters name the countries that are to follow in Bull garia's footsteps-over the brink with autocracy.
 The passing of the Bulgarians as a factor in the war is immediately taken up as 8 new reason why every good American should hustle out now and buy Liberty bonds. One Putnam man said Monday afternoon thar this is the best way to celebrate Bulgaria $ defeat, and to hurry like situation upon all of the countries with which she has been associated in the war.
 Some delay along the line has pre- vented the arrival here of the pipe that is to be used in building the new water main from the pumping station at Harrisviile into the city. It was hoped that the excavation work might begin on Monday, but it did not. It is not be- l lfeved, however. that the work will be held up very long and that operations will be underway within a few days. i The Liberty Bond station, in what was Fuckers store in the UE+on block was open and doing business Monday | The place was visited by many who ] are interested in putting the fourth | loan over the top with a whoop ir | Putnam, and Isaac Chanpeau, who is | on duty there with Mrs. B. c. Morse and members of the woman's commit 1 tee said that the sales of bonds during 1 the day had been encouraging. The largest individual subscription taker i up to D. m was for 1.000 this be. | ing placed by one of the city's business | men.
 Liberty loan workers here were con. | vinced Monday afternoon that Bul. 1 garia's passing from the war will hell 1 wonderfully to boom tine sale of bondt 1 in Putnam for it has given the people l here the first taste of a real approach | to final victory, which it is realized car 1 be more quickly brought about by fur. l nislling the men and the money tt

 Putnam continued up to Monda
 fortunately free from serious inroad
 of Spanish influenza. Only cases of l sporadic nature were reported froT the various sections of the towT
 though there is much grip here an many have bad colds. AttawAuga
 seems to be the worst afflicted of an
 of the places in this vicinity, for 1 that place the number of cases ( l illness are so numerous as to ilinde , the full operation of the big plant (
 the Attawaugan Company.
 Judge Geissler presided at a sessio of the city court Monday mornin,
 when there were four cases to be con , sidered, all of a minor nature. II With no vote to be taken on the Ii
