 of the candidates of both parties Though there are many :hings of in
 terest to be considered on the party l tickets. the contest for state senator l from this district over shadows the
 other issues of the campaign.
 Every liquor dealer in Putnam who l has a license has applied to the coun- ty commissioners to have it renewed This is considered of interest in view
 of the uncertain fate of the liquor bus mess and of the difficulties of nakine 1 it profitable under the many war re
 strictions now in force The dealers l say, however, that they are hoping for more normal times.

 One hardware firm in -his city ha' made an announcement that leaves n
 doubt though no one who knows tn.
 concern ever had any, that it is 10'
 per cent. patriotic.
 This concern feels thac it can ge 1 along very nicely without any Mad
 in Germany" goods, and with that idet
 in mind has invited the public to conn
 to the store this afternoon and carr away any German made article i
 their stock that the visitors wants
 and to take it home free That stor
 is going to be free Of Hun manufac
 lures if the concern has 10 throw tn
 goods in the dump.
 The head of the concern, who is l Civil war veteran is not looking f0
 free advertising. A card in the win | dow of his store, this card set in tn midst of an array of cutlery of variou
 kinds, reads:
 This cutlery was made in German
 Our Yankee-mad goods refuse to aS sociate with the product Of Kultur you want one of them you may ha' it. We don't want them" Here is a fair, and jus. sample. Germany's rewards for seeking a plae in the sun, q place so large that other nations would have had to Ii! . in eternal darkness. The firms actic , has been applauded by many. but
 more so than by man who said Fr , day afternoon while looking in [ , window, q guess I'll bu" a knife s these people, but I wouldn't take c
 of the Hun knives as a gift" } A distant relative is one who is =, and doesn't recognize you.
