a success in every way The crowd
was one that taxed the capacity of the

been much larger could the Guards
have secured Union hall This hall
was engaged, so the other two halls
were decided upon.
The halls were decorated Ger the
occasion by the Webster Awning CO.
American flags and banners predom-
mated, and garlands of red, white
and blue paper flowers were strung
from the ceiling.
From until 9 o'clock the c. A. c.
orchestra gave an excellent concert
program Then the grand march was
formed led by Captain John J Nc
Garry and Mrs McGarry Dancing
followed
In Odd Fellows hall, while the c.
A. C. was playing we Won't Come
Back Till It's Over Over There and
other new song hits, the Irving Broth
ers' orchestra was playing the old
fashioned favorites in Owls hall
across the way There was no par
TALLY shown between the old and
the new dances, and both attracted
the dancers, many alternating be
tween one hall and the other Elmer
f. Shippee acted as prompter in
voice that could be heard from one
end of the hall to the other and
there were quadrilles, lanciers, vir-
ginia reels and other old favorites. In
Odd Fellows hall the waltz. one step,
fox trots and schottisches followed
one after another
During intermission many went
out to secure bite to eat, returning
to stay until the music stopped after
midnight
The proceeds will be given to the
Red Cross. The affair was greatly
enjoyed and a substantial sum real
lied for this patriotic purpose
Those in charge were as follows:

the body of men who gathered at the

ried.
Almost from the Beginning of his
business career in this city he has
been a man in the public eye and il
the thick of every contest, always OF
the side of the progress of the town
From minor public offices he was
chosen to represent the town in the
house, then the senate of the general
assembly; the district at national
convention; the town at many lesser
conventions; and his voice has always
been heard where a word for Putnam
was for the interest of Putnam.
Closely allied with the introduction
of municipal improvements, he has al
so been connected, in one way and
another, with many private enterpris-
es, and never lost an opportunity to
bring a new business within the limits
of his home town. A man whose life
has been so closely connected with
the business and social interests of
the town for so long period could
not have been made to feel the APP
probation of his life's efforts more
emphatically than on such an occasion
as was arranged in his honor by sta
Bile, thoughtful men, who realized the
debt owed him by the community.
Nor could a better fitting time have
been chosen than the fiftieth anniver-
sary of his coming to Putnam, Febru-

NO SCHOOL THIS WEEK

The common school, high school
and parochial school are closed this
week by request of the state fuel ad-
ministrator. While the school board
felt that the small saving made
would be out of proportion to tie
time wasted they complied with the
request. There is coal in the bins and
the high school is heated from the
shop.
The fuel and heat lie idle dur
ing the week and the schoolhouses are
empty Apparently the fuel conser-

industry is to be abolished. 1t is
claimed that the plan has been bcne-

AUXILIARY WATER
PUMP RUNNING
1t Is Advisable to Boil Water
For Drinking Purposes, as 1t
Is Of Necessity Unhltered.
Pressure Greatly Increased In Bust
ness Section.

The auxiliary pump at the Little
River bridge began operating about ,
O'Clock Wednesday evening 1t adds
a 100000 gallon increase per day and
the water pressure is good where
pipes are not frozen AS yet it is not
thought that there is any water in the
stand pipe on Oak Hill on account of
ice The water does not affect the
GAUGE as the extra supply does not
register.
The work of installing the new
pump WAS delayed on account of a
broken valve, but now that it is run
ming the water problem is at least
temporarily solved
Due to the hard rain Of To- ssday
night there IS q wash from Che faads
and hills into the Little River. Of ne
cessity the water is uniltered and it
is advisable to boil the water as it
comes through the pipes before drink
ing it.
Several large pipes have broken,
which wastes the supply, and there
are still many frozen services. But
daylight is ahead and the heavy bur
den that the water commissioners and
superintendent have been carrying is
lessened The people have cause to
rejoice that there was no conagra-
ton in the city during the hazardous
times.
