 Graduation time is always a time of mingled pleasure and sadness and solemnity; and this year the feeling of solemnity was predmoinant. The whole occasion took on an air that is not generally found at Putnam High school graduatiens; seriousness was there that was deeper than customary, but which, after all, only served to make this years graduation one that will long be remembered. Simplicity Sincerity, Service, are the words se- lected by the class of 1918 to serve as their motto And their exercises at the Bradley theatre last night were well in keeping with these words There was a simplicity and sincerity throughout the whole evening, and service was emphasized in the speak ing of President Faunce, Superinten- dent Macdonald, and Principal Han 1 dy

that he got out of jail last week. That he was committed for six months for not supporting his wife and two children. It is thought that he be- came acquainted with the Gill woman while she was serving thirty day sentence for keeping disorderly house. Her sentence expired on May 18th. After coming to Putnam, 1t IS said, the man phoned an acquain- tance in Brooklyn and told him that he stayed at Mrs. Gill's all night. This Mrs. Gill says is not true.
 Before she appeared in court, Mrs. Gill was asked by Patriot represent ative if she was in trouble again, and she said, "Yes, l seem to be in trou- ble all the time" She has stated that after her term expires she will leave Putnam.
 Mrs. Gill took her commitment with out apparent feeling. She said the only trouble at the jail was that there was not enough work for the women prisoners to do She asked to be al lowed to go to her home to get some clothing, and emphasized the fact tha. she especially wanted her knitting.
 Up to the time Mrs. Gill was com- mitted. the daughter had not been To- cated, except that it is quite positive ly known that she had left Water bury for Brooklyn, N. Y. The police of Brooklyn were communicated with and asked to look for the girl at Is -- street. They telephoned back that there was no such number on the street. It later developed that the number should have been 15. There is little doubt that sooner or later the girl will be returned to Putnam. If the man in the case is apprehended, he may have to- face serious charge. The United States authorities may take an interest in the matter, as the girl has been taken from one state to another. which gives the government ! jurisdiction under statute.
