Hef leaves Ahis parents sister, Mrs. Ro- | sapna Butler, wife of Everett Cutler, | East Putnam. and a brother, Conradat Mohtie was, i'll but C few days preced- | ing hisi death.s
 The local board has received a cancellation of the order that general | service men of this district be in ducted into service and sent to Camp Greenleaf, Ga. on Oct. 10. The preva- lence of Spanish influenza in the can ton1nents and the heavy toll it has been taking of soldiers has led to the postponement of sending men to camp. Men who have received induction 1 certificates will get later notices as to when they will be called upon to re- port in this city to go to camp.
 The fsurth Liberty loan drive opens in Putnam today. Harry C. Meinken member of the committee that will have the work in charge in Putnam, said Friday morning that the people are asked to make voluntary subscrip- tions during the first week of the drive.

 the morning to 8 in the evening every | day next week. On Saturday the
 booth will be kept open until 10 D. m.
 Arrangements also have been made by the committee for the taking of sub | scriptions at the mill offices, that op- | eraives may not be put to unneces- 1 sary effort in getting into line with tke millions that will put up their
 money to help whip the Huns, now on l their way to the Rhine.
 Putnam has been allotted about | S400, 900 of the immense lo2a. This
 means that there can be no slackers l back home if Putnam is to measure | up to what is expected of it. Every ] body who can possibly do so is in l honor bound to back with their mon 1 ey the boys who are fighting for each
 and everyone of them lover there''
 The second week of the loan drive in this city will be marked by a l house. house canvass for subscrip- tons. Representatives of the commit
 tee will call at every home in Putnam | ird of I,-;1v | devoted to cleanup work-getting in | those, who by one chance or another, have failed to subscribe up to that
 time.
 October 19 is expected to be ban ner day in selling bonds ir Putnam 1 On that date the Liberty loan train will be in the city. There will be 3 | half holiday for the school children. in

 chamber of commerce has under con- i sideration the prdclaiming of a half
 holiday for operatives in the city's b g
 manufacturing plants, that they may
 have an opportunity to see what tro- phies Americans have taken from the Huns.
 William Collins, man who claims to live in the Greater Boston district,
 and who has been employed in the railroad yards here, was locked up
 Friday morning by John Murray of
 the New Haven road police. Collins could not produce a registration card
 when asked to do so. He claimed
 however that he registered last year
 and eventually was inducted into ser
 vice at Camp Devens which canton ment eventually rejected him as phy-
 sically unfit. He was held pending an
 investigation of his claims.
 | Private Archie Bourgeois, East Put | nam, is reported as recovering at CamL
 Devens after being very dangerously
 il with Spanish influenza. His con-
 dition has been so serious that at times his life was despaired of. Relatives
 who have been at the cantonment tC
 visit with him say that the soldiers
 there who are i'll are receiving the very best of care and that everythine
 humanly possible is being done tc protect them from becoming sick ant
 to bring them back to health if they
 become i'll.
 Today will give Putnam people tho
 last of what has been known as the summer trolley service-an hourly
 service out of this city to all point: l along the line. north and south. Witt tomorrow, Sunday, new and cur tailed schedule of service will go int } effect. This change is said to be duC
 to several causes-the inability of tht } company to get sufficient help to ru1 l it's cars. to increased costs of opera 5 tion and to the decrease in traffit
 usually coincident to the coming O cooler weather.
