 Putnam has more than a half mil lion dollars in Liberty loan subscrip- tions and is still going strong. G. Harold Gilpatric, of the First National bank, said Tuesday afternoon that the half million dollar mark has been reached and passed and that sub
 scriptions continued to come in. This. would indicate that heed has been paid to the warning that there should be 1 no slackening in the effort to clean up the kaiser and his gang, and that 1 everybody who claims to be in sym
 pathy with the United States should 1 help in doing it.
 1 No one seems to know where all of the money is coming from. but it con | tinues to flow into the banks i'll a steady stream. Putnam up to Tues l day afternoon had an excess of $100,-
 GOO over it's apportionmeat of the loan, and this apportionment was $SST. .000. l Up ip Thompson the residents ale Whooping thinss up in grand style and
 are out to double their quota of $109, 1 4h0 and are going to do it. They had passed the S200.0O0 mark in that town 1 Tuesday and still the subscriptions were pouring in Woodstock. which got a rather slow start, is the newest 1 town to be reported over the top. and I scriptions are being placed for good
 measure.
