Easy When You Know.

Two men from small town in Ne
braska spent several days in st. Louis
last week. One is merchant and the
other hotel keeper. In the CONVEX
satiOn overheard by the reporter for
The Daily the merchant seemed to
have a little the better of it. "You
know my friend here runs one of the
two rival hotels in our town" he
said. Guests are none too plenty,
and competition between the porters
when the train comes in is pretty
brisk. My friend has a young man
from the country officiating for him
in the capacity of bus driver, porter
hotel runner and waiter. A few days
ago a lone travelling man alighted
from the train when it pulled in
Parker House?" asked the porter,
taking the strangers grips. The vic
tim was safely stored away in the
hack and the trip uptown begun
You amt never stopped at the Park
er House, have you?" queried the
porter. NO" was the brief reply.
."Aia't never been in S before,
have your" again ventured the man
of-all-work. mo, this is my first
trip" was the answer. But what
made you think so?" why,
thought if you had been here before
you wouldn't be going to the Parker
House." was the discouraging reas-
surance.

PUTNAM
Local Board Issues Letter to British Subjeots-LocaI Nest of Owls to Disband-Two More Men Leave For Special Trainins-What the City Bells Were Ringing For.

Indicative of the effect of the re- gently approved convention between the United States and Great Britain is the following letter issued by the local board, with headquarters ln this city, to British subjects, registered in this district, who have filed claims for exemption or deferred clas5if1ca- ton on the ground of being aliens. It was stated at the office of the board Friday afternoon that Il men who are British subjects have claimed exemp- tion from military service on that ground. A considerably larger rum Der, married men. have claimed defer red classification on the ground of being aliens, married and with or without children, as happens to be the case.
 The letter sets forth quite clearly what such registrants may expect in choosing between the United States land Great Britain. as to military ser vice. But. if the registrants withdraw their claims to deferred classification on the ground of alienage, they will fall under the provisions ok the United States selective service act, which is more liberal, as to forcing married men into service, than is the British draft act.
 Each registrant has been mailed copy of the accompanying letter and | it now rests entirely with these in dividuals as to what course they shall pursue in casting their lot in deciding the fate of the democracy of the world:
 July 26, 1918. | Dear Sir:-In accordance with a convention between the United States and Great Britain, Canadian and other
 British subjects residing in the | United States, are liable under the draft of Canada and Great Britain un- less you waive your claim for exemp- ton under the United States draft on the ground of alienage.
 | You have stated in your question naire that you are a Canadian and that ground. This classification will 6e withdrawn in a few weeks. How
 ever you will be given an opportunity to enlist in the Britis hor Canadian forces if you so desire or you may ap- bear at the office of the exemption tboard and we will allow you to with draw your claim for exemption on the
 ground of being an alien.
 You will, therefore. appear at the
 office of the exemption board before
 4 o'clock, Saturday afternoon, Angus
 9rd, 1918, and notify us of your in
 tention. If you still claim exemption
 on the ground of being an alien w shall immediately report you to tn,
 British and Canadian recruiting mis
 sions and you will be subject te thei call
 Let us hear from you.
 Yours very truly,
 LOCAL BOARD Is, CONN.

for Camp Devens. The net revenues from this game were not large. The answer to this is that the selected men themselves did not show any de- gree of interest, except in a few cases, in selling tickets for the contest. and the public, in turn. did not see fit to patronize the game. Every cent of the net proceeds went to the selected men, small as the sum may have been. and this after the management of the Put na mteam paid out of it's pockets bills that were contracted in connec- ton with staging the game.

OWLS TO DIsBAND
Trouble Over New Members tnitia
 ton Fees Started Disagreement.

Putnam Nest of Owls has voted to disband. This announcement has fol- lowed an exchange of letters between officers of Putnam nest and supreme officers of the order It IS claimed that the whole difficulty developed from the claim that new members were recently admitted upon payment of half the amount of the stipulated mi tiation fee. and that letters written to supreme officers by a special dep uty who was sent here from Chico pee. Mass, are responsible for the tangle that has resulted in members of Putnam nest voting to go cut of business.
 The special deputy's examination of the books of Putnam nest show them to be regular in every respect, it has been stated, so the whole affair seems to be the result of misunderstanding and unfair reports to the supreme of ficers.
 The members of the order here have not been econtent to remain submis- sive while their, integrity was being assailed, so they voted to disband. The lodge has been one of the strong fraternal units of the city, and | its intention to close up it's affairs was received here with surprise. Leave TOT Opeclal raInln9s Arthur E. Basto of Woodstock and Joseph Menard of Danielson left here Friday for Fort Leavenworth, Kan, where they are to continue their stud ies of wireless work.

BELLS WERE RUNe
But it Was For Prayer Meeting, Not
 For Capture of Crown Prince.

There are some good jokers in Put nam, and recent reported events have given them a chance to exercise their proclivity. A telephone call to a man in a local store came from Woodstock We are wondering whether to ring the bells up here to celebrate the cap ture of the crown prince and his ar mics: are the bells ringing in Put nam?"
 Yes" said the Putnam man. But | he smiled as he neglected to explain that the bells were ringing for the usual mid-week prayer meeting. But | his neglect didn't help in any way to
 delay the premature celebration in the nearby town, where they had just as
 good a time as if the capture stories
 were really true.
