 Hash to Barley Flour

The sale of government food stuffs win begin at the Putnam postofhce on next Monday. August IS, and con tinue through Tuesday and Wednes- day. This announcement was made this Friday morning by Postmaster Alexander Gilman. who has just re- eeived official bulletins upon the sub feet of the food distribution from the office of the postmaster general in Washington. Tho supplies that are being offered to the public are those purchased for use in the army and navy. and are now held in military subsistence depots. 1t is in order that everyone in the country may have chance to obtain this food that it is being offered through the agency of the postoffice, and by means of the parcel post system.
 The food is being offered at the unit cost, to which must be added the parcel postage from the distribution center to the city in which it is pur- chased.

PUTNAM CANNOT
 REGULATE PRICE
Jitney Drivers Here Are Under No Restrictions-and the
 Sky's the Limit
Willimantic Has Just Passed Ordi- nance Setting the Charges For
 Public Service Vehicles

At a meeting of the Willimantie city council last Monday night an or dinance was passed regulating the price that public service cars may charge within the city limits.
 A week ago the question of limit ing prices here in Putnam was taken up by the Putnam city council. It originally was mentioned in connec- tion with the strike, when it was stated by members of the council that certain drivers were asking anywhere from 10 cents to $i.00 for trip, to West Thompson, and approximately within the city limits. At that time Alderman Charles Dean asked if there was not some way in which the price for such services might be determined by the council, and drivers of the pub lie service cars required to adopt the scale of prices as set by the council
 The matter was then left in Mir. Deans hands and he consulted with Charles L. Torrey, the corporation counsel. Mir Torrey looked into the question and informed Mir. Dean that there was nothing that could be done about the matter, since the statutes specifically stated that no town or city should pass regulations concern ing public service automobiles.
 It was known to the council that the city of Bridgeport had regulated the automobile service there, and now Willimantic does likewise. Mayor Allie w. Marcy, in speaking of this on Tuesday, said: "The reason, is. that Bridgeport and Willimantic probably have clauses in their charters which allow them to make restrictions for motor vehicles in the public service. Putnam has no such right-though 1t ought to have"
 The prices adopted by the council in Willimantie are as follows Tax ing passengers from one point to an other within the city, 25 cents fol adult. A charge of 35 cents may b' made if the jitney has to call for th' fare. Each fare may carry one suit l ease free but a charge of 1b cent' may be made for each additional sui case or valise. The charge for trunks shall be 25 cents. Children from D tt 12 years old shall be charged 15 cents Children under five shall be carried free if accompanied by adults. Chil dren aged from to 12 who have t' he called for may be charged ~ cents. These fares are to be in force from 6 a. m. until 12 p. m. During other hours double these rates may DC charged. All public service cars shai carry cards displaying their rat schedule. These cards are to be sign ed by the chief of police and are t' be furnished by tbe city. Violations are to be punishable by fine of no more than $25. The resolution is t. take effect Sept 1, 1919. The repor of the committee on jitney regulation was accepted without reading.
 Taxi drivers in Putnam since th' first of July have been charging 5' cents for transportation to any pom | within the city limits.

ONCE FAVORED
 PUBLIC LIBRARY
Judge Gary, of the United States Steel Corp, Said He Would Give Putnam a Public Building.
May Approach Him Now In Connec
 ton With Proposed Memorial

At meeting of the Welcome Home Day committee held Monday in the rooms of the Chamber of Commerce, number of Putnam ladies appeared to speak in favor of diverting some of the $3000 appropriated for the La bor Day celebration from the propos- ed use, and with it forming the nu- cleus of a Memorial Library fund. At this meeting Miss Mary Wheaton told the committee that Judge Ebert Gary, of the United States Steel Cor roration, former Pomfret resident, had on several occasions spoken of a public library or other kind of public building for Putnam. Now is the time, Miss Wheaton believes, for again approaching Judge Gary and interesting him in the matter.
 Judge Gary has always had inter est in Putnam. His family came or iginally frnm Pomfret, and he him self attended the Gary school on the Pomfret road. This school was nam ed for members of the Gary family.
 Miss Elizabeth Child told the com mittee of the needs of public li- brary in the center of Putnam. Her remarks were similar to tho signed communication which she recently sent to The Patriot and which was printed in this paper. She also told the committee that she personally had heard several people volunteer to give contributions if drive for a library fund were started.
 Mrs. c. D. Arnold also spoke in fa- vor of central library and memorial building, emphasizing the fact that it would give resting place, particular ly for ladies. Such place this city now lacks, and yet needs badly.
 Charles Dean, chairman of the Welcome Home committee, said he was heartily in favor of Memorial Library, and yet he believed that il would be almost impossible to get the funds for it's erection, as at least $50,- 900 would be required. He further explained to the ladies that since the city and town had appropriated the $500 apiece for a definite purpose that of a celebration in honof of the

GOODYEAR TEAM
 STARTS FOR WEST
Goodyear Company Sends lo Men to Akron, Ohio, to Play
 Ball and Visit the Main Plant

Goodyear Goodyear Cotton Mills base ball team left Thursday for Akron, Ohio, where they will play two games against the very fast team of the Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co. The first game is to be played at Seib- erling Field on Saturday and the sec one game on Sunday.
 There is a great deal of local en- thusiasm current over these games, as the Goodyear, Conn, boys have made a most enviable reputation on the dia- mond so far this season, and every thing points toward an extremely not contest for the laurels. The Akron team will probably visit here soon af- ter the first of September to play the return games. Aside from the inter- est which the National sport affords the base bali followers, the trip to Akron will be treat for the local boys, who will have an opportunity to see the mammoth Goodyear factory.
 The lineup, which includes twelve men. is as follows: Pitchers, Jen- nings and Nichols; catchers, Frechette and Reddy; first base, Masterson second base, Gagnon and Mcdonald ; third base, Elliott; s.. Connolly; If, Shea; cf, J. Connolly; If, Belland.
 The entire party is made up of 16 men, including R. w. Boys, superin- tendent of the Goodyear Cotton Mills, Inc; c, N. Turner, assistant treasur- CT; J. G. Echmalian, labor depart ment; and Fred E. Miller, cost ac- rc,.pfouf

PLANS TO HANDLE
 5O,OOO PEOPLE
Captain John Bulger Making Elaborate Preparations For
 Welcome Home Celebration
City to Give Ample Protection to Great Crowds That Will Assem-
 ble on Labor Day


 nam police department is making plans to handle the great crowds of people that will undoubtedly swarm Putnam on Labor Day. when the city is to hold its Welcome Home celebra- ton in honor of the Putnam boys who fought in the world war. Cap tain Bulger estimated on Thursday that 50,000 people would be in Put nam on that day, and he is taking ev cry precaution 10 see that ample pro lection is given. At least forty off, cers will be on duty, some in uniform and some in plain clothes. Of this number there will be four mounted members of the state police, and a fifth member of this organization will be in the city to assist the captain. Twenty-Five Putnam men are to be sworn in as special officers for one day. and they, in company with the 10 regular members of the depart ment will do patrol duty, and will be on the alert to nip any possible kind of disturbance in the bud.
 The automobile traffic will present one of the real problems of the day, and Captain Bulger is to have traffic man look after the stream of motor vehicles. While this has not been definitely settled, in all probability Officer George Laird will be stationed at the bank corner to direct traffic.
 Another problem is that of parking. With hundreds of automobiles coming into the city for the day, it is no small matter to find space where they may be left. From 9 o'clock in the forenoon until after the parade the main thoroughfares of the city will be closed and no automobiles will be allowed to stand upon them This will include Front street, Pomfret street, the entire length of Main street, School street and South Main street. The only traffic that will be permitted on these streets will be ve- i hielss passing through, or driving on- to them for the purpose of dropping passengers, and at once leaving. No parking can be allowed.
 "This is essential" explained the captain, fin order that the parade may not be blocked. In the early morning cars may stop, but about 9 o'clock my men will order them all to move, and the streets will be kept clear until after the parade"
 The captain is going to allow park ing on one side of side streets, but on one side only. "This is necessary, said Captain Bulger, 'in order that streets do not become clogged with traffic. If cars line up on both sides of the streets, there is not room enough to let fire apparatus through quickly in case this should be needed. This rule is going to be adhered to Parking on one side only"
 Captain Bulger is now looking into the matter of obtaining parking space. Several fields near the center of the city are being mentioned, but nothing definite has been decided. But one thing is certain, and that is that every possible kind of police pro teetion is going to be given Putnam citizens on the big day.

MISS BORHAUER
 HAS RESIGNED
Her Action Clears Situation
 Arising Between Lynn School
 Board and City Council /

The resignation of Miss Caroline Borhauer, native of Germany. for merly teacher in Putnam High school, and for the past seven yeara in the Lynn, Mass, Classical High school, ends long controversy be- tween the school committee of that city and the common council. Tho trouble between these two branches of the city began when the council passed a vote that no enemy alien should be employed on the city teach- ing staff, and that those then em- ployed must give up their positions. The school board refused to recog- nize this order, and a deadlock re- suited. Miss Borhauer's pay was held up many weeks, as the council would not vote the money. On the other hand. the school committee re- fused to release her.
 Commenting upon the situation the Boston Transcript last Saturday says: After Miss Borhauers pay had been held up for several weeks . joint committee tried to secure . teacher as competent as Miss Bor- hauer, but Superintendent Jackson reported that none could be found. Later she went to Connecticut, and now has sent her resignation"
 Miss Borhauer has always been . favorite with her pupils, and during the trouble at Lynn, members of tho student body signed petitions that were sent to school officials, request ing that she be kept. By many whe are in close touch with the situation. it is said that Miss Borhauer was rec ognized as an efficient teacher.

ex-service men, 1t was not within the power of the committee to use any of the money appropriated for anything except such a celebration.
 Alexander Gilman also favored the memoral building plan, but thought that the present discussion had better be postponed, since the committees had all that it could attend to and furtAsr- more, had no power to do as Nias Child had suggested.
 It was the opinion of the comnle- tee that. following Miss Whsaten'e suggestions, the Chamber 6f c. merce would probably take th6 nn1oee up, and if 1t thought bstt apgeeeeo Judgs Gary throsgh Hx Whsdeek
