publication of the following state
ment:
The people of the Putnam Red
/ Cross chapter district were asked 70
contribute the sum of seven thousan
/ five hundred dollars as their part of
the minimum amount of one hundr ID
million dollars asked for by the
American Red Cross for the second
War Fund, and have responded with
over seventeen thousand dollars, or
230 per cent of the apportionment.
One year ago it would have been
nearly impossible to have raised the
sum, even for this purpose by volun-
tary contributions; today, after the
people Of Putnam have contributed
some sixty-five hundred dollars since
January l for the needs of our local
chapter. and Immediately after a Lib
erty Lean drive, it has been compare
lively speaking, easy, on fair and
reasonably forceful presentment of
the case, to raise this large amount.
Why is this? The answer seems to
be plain In the past year the war
has been brought home to our people
They understand il now, and they
have answered this call with the
voice of patriotism.
In this splendid response they have
said plainly enough, that 50 far as
this chapter district is concerned,
they propose to stand back of our
army in the field to the best of their
ability to the finish of the war.
The response from the country as a
whole is nearly as pronounced and
cannot fail to have fine effect on all
our armies in the field, to whom the
value of Red Cross work for armies
is now well known.

Fund drive for this district is deeply

Dear Home Folks:
Received your letter the day before
yesterday and Luke's yesterday, and
you may be sure was glad to get
them both. those being the only mail

island.
Now don't be surprised if tell YOU
some things | have told you before as

keep us so busy one can hardly keep
track of the tim of day and date. We
came to the maneuvering grounds
here last Tuesday, and | might say
we are almost ready to receive our
rifles in few days. They drill us
four hours a day, keeping us at it
from start to finish, but you know a

er hires anyone to do his work for
him. For instance: we are assigned
to mess hall to wait on table and
wash dishes white coats not being
allowed here as at Clark College, and
to wash your own clothing, l having
my first experience of that the other
day.
We have very nice officers over US,
three corporals and sergeant, which
is a great consolation. Of course they
are strict while drilling us, but they

Twice over the top is the pleasing
record that Putnam district, which in
cluded the towns of Putnam, Thomp-
SON Woodstock, Pomfret and the vii
lagos of DGyyille and Attawaugan,
hung UP in the Red Cross drive for
500 100000, of which Putnam dis
trict's quota was $500, and to which
was subscribed to date, $17,106.92,
and some scattering contributions
vet to be recorded.
Putnam has taken a proud position
N war work and war drives of all
kinds. Not only has she done her bit
and then some more in money, mater
jal. Red Cross activities and publicity,
but her sons have responded nobly to
the countrys call for soldiers and
sailors and many are now wearing
the fighting uniform in this and for
eign lands.
From the first day of the drive it
was apparent that Putnam would far
overreach her quota. 1t was com
paratively easy work for the chair
man, his committees and the solicit
ors. The instances were rare indeed
where deaf ear was turned to the
appeal and very seldom did solicitor
leave empty handed 1t was a glori-
Gus victory and one of which Putnam
district has cause to feel proud.
The towns contributed as follows:
Putnam, $6,86109; Pomfret, s3,-
10000; Eastford, s164.75; Dayville,
$1,550.00; Woodstock, $1,286.71;

Fire Threatens Farm

A spark from a passing locomotive
set fire to the grass along the track
near the farm formerly owned by Fred
Jones, Tuesday, and as result about
three and one half acres of the farm
were burned over and considerable
number of fruit trees destroyed. If it
had not been for a roadway lying in the
track of the fire it seems likely the
farmhouse and outbuildings would have
been destroyed, and as it was, they
were only saved by strenuous work.
One day last week small boy, while
playing with matches on the farm Of
Jones & Haven, got fire nicely start
ed, with the result that long string Of
pine stump fence and 10 cords of stump
wood were destroyed, field of seed
clover was burned over, and but for a
field of green corn all of the buildings
on the farm Of Geo. Hurd might have
been burned. Mr.. Hurd and Jones &
Haven would express appreciation of
the good work that was done in pro-
tecting their property.

Red Cross Needs Money

ship and in Thetford, who have not
paid their Red Cross subscriptions, that
the same is urently needed. Aside
from the fact that these subscriptions
are to be devoted to the most sacred
cause in the world, that of binding up the
wounds and nursing the sick among the
heroic boys who are fighting our battles
in Europe, they really constitute Leg
al debt to the government and payment
of them will eventually be insisted up
on. We trust and believe that no citi-
zen can be found in either township

In Thetford, it appears. there has been
some misunderstanding about the place
where these subscriptions were to be
paid and we are now authorized to say
they will be received at The Clio State

To the Young Women
of America

The U. S. must have $4,000 student
nurses now--student nurses to release
graduate nurses for work at the front.
Without student nurses graduate nurses
connot be sent to Europe and our
wounded men will suffer for want of
nursing care.
The U. S. Government looks to the
State divisions and the country and
local units of the Womans' Committee
to supply these student nurses. In
order to make the campaign a success
it must be brought home to the people
of every community. They must be
made to realize that in filling the va
cancies in accredited training schools
for nurses by enrolling the maximum
number of eligible candidates, each
locality is furthering the necessary
war preparations in this country.
The call is for women between the
ages of 10 and 35. Intelligent. respon-
sible women, of good education and
sound health wanted.
The term of training varies from
to 3 years. No course takes less than
or more than years.
The student nurse gets her board,
lodging, and tuition free at practically
every training school, and in most cases
receives small remuneration to cover
the cost of books and uniforms.
Even If the war ends within three
years, every student nurse will be able
to complete her training and will be
needed.
Girls, let us show that we know how
to answer the Governments call to the
women of the country.
Those who are interested may call
Mrs. c. W. Taylor, phone No. 1l3 3r.
or call at the store, and she will be glad
to talk with you and give you further
information. She would also like to
meet those who registered for nursing
at the registration within the coming
week.
