Murdock seems to be In Tor q run Of
fires. The fire which started in the
school early on Monday morning just as
siderable damage. The damage was
caused more from the careless manner
in which the furniture and books Of
school were handled, rather than from
the fire itself. The fire apparatus was
found to be frozen.
The damage is covered by insurance
and the district will be reimbursed for
the loss, but at the same time there
was a lot of unnecessary destruction of
property that could have been prevented
by the use of good Judgment on the part
of the fire flghters.-Murdock Leader.

According to decision of the u. S.
Supreme Court handed down Jan. Z, 1918
all declarations of intention are invalid
for all purposes after the expiration of
seven years. This renders any declar-
zen void unless the final papers are Sc
cured within seven years thereafter.
All declarations that are now over sew
en- years old are therefore void. This
fact was brought out when a resident
who had filed his declaration Of inten-
tions in 1884 tried to complete the legal
process of becoming a citizen before
Clerk of Court Fink last Monday-a de-
lay Of only thirty-four years.

"HELP LICK THE KAISER"
Tune: TipperarY.

It's a hard job to lick the Kaiser
It's hard job to do
And the Allies know it too
Goodbye little Belgium
France and England too.
There's only one that can lick the Kaiser
That's the Red. White and Blue.
Let US all help to lick the Kaiser
Cause it's our duty too
Let us all help to lick the Kaiser
Help our soldiers brave and true
All our brave boys are fighting for us
For the freedom Of our land.
If we want them to lick the Kaiser
We must all lend hand.

ALTHOUGH POPULATION HAS INCREASED THERE ARE NOT
 so MANY VOTERS
This Means That Putnams Growth
 Is of Foreign Born People

There are 1870 names on the vot- ing list of the town of Putnam that will be used at the state election next Tuesday AL the last sitting of the seiectmen IT new voters were made and their names added to the list and 16 names on the list were erased.
 Though Putnam's population is now greater than 1t ever has been. the growth being very considerable in the past four years, Putnam's voting list is now smaller than it was five years ago, Registrar Hermon c. Car yer said Wednesday. This is not ac- counted for by the absence of ss many of the towns young men in the service, for all ahose who are voters still have their names on the list. A heavy influx of people of foreign birth who have not become natural ized and a shrinkage of the classes that have produced the most voters. is given as the reason for the falling off in the voting list.

STATE BAR ASSOCIATION BE LIEVES DRY" AMENDMENT
 UNWISE AND UNSAFE

A committee of the State Bar As sociation, consisting of Silas Robin son, Milton A. Shumway, Joseph P. Futile, Seymour C. Lewis and Chris topher L. Avery, made public on Wednesday a lengthy report just completed on the legal aspects of the proposed federal prohibition amend ment. The committee declares that the proposed legislation "is unwise and unsafe in every phase of it. and dangerous precedent" The re- port says i've look upon it as the door to every kind of restraint by way of constitutional provision and by that we mean restrictions having to do with those matters which, if restrict cd at all, should be limited by local laws 7"
 The report concludes; Because of it's dangerous tendency, because of its failure to receive p-oaar vote in Congress. because of tl1 lose char acter of it's wording ant because of it's inherent wrong, we submit that this amendment ought not to be rat flied by the general a77embly of the state of Connecticut.

without any known enemies in any party Without a doubt he will re- eeive the largest vote that Putnam has ever given candidate on tho state ticket, and the vote will not bs on party lines.
 While The Patriot is Republican in its politics. it is a newspaper, and not a political organ It does not ordin- atily advance the merits of one can- didate more than another, but prints the facts and news regarding all can- didates This Is an unusual time and conditions are unusual, It is not of- ten that Putnam has a citizen in such a prominent place on state ticket as that of State Treasurer Being n citizen of Putnam and being worthy of the office and competent to fill 1t, The Patriot does not hesitate to advo- cate the election of Mir. Gilpatric for this office.
