Wine In New Jersey

NEW BRUNSWICK. n. J.. Dec. a.
The preamble of the bill authorizing
the sale Of beer and light wines in New
Jersey was made public here tonight
by State Senator Thomas Brown. who
will Introduce the measure at the next
session of the state legislature. Sena-
tor Brown said that the bill Itself Is not
yet ready for publication.
The preamble sets forth that the
state Of New Jersey has not ratitieo
the eighteenth amendment, doubts that
il was passed in a constitutional man
ner. and intends to disregard the Vol.
stead act and pass an enforcement OH
which will be supreme within the

upon which Governor-elect Edwards
and his supporters are working Is that
the eighteenth amendment gives equal
power to congress and the states la the
enforcement Of prohibition, and thar
the congressional enactment applies
only where there is no state law IN Ell
feet.

Beautiful Decorations

The city was gaily decorated. A
firm of decorators from Hartford had
been busy all the week, including eve
nings, and it was not until short
time before the parade started that
the last drapery had been arranged.
Never had Putnam looked better than
it did Monday. Hundreds Of yards Of
bunting, thousands Of flags, and many
set pieces were used TO adorn the
buildings. the stores. and private res
licences along the line Of march. The
lines passed between walls Of the ma
tional eolors with many flags Of the
allied countries interspersed. 1t was
a picture that may never be seen
again. II was one it would be hard to

opinion that the city had never been

colors

Post Prandial Exercises

At the close of the banquet Toast
master G. Harold Gilpatric introduced
as the speaker, Captain Charles Lock
hart of New Haven. Capt. Lockhart
has seen service overseas. His talk
to the boys was one that in reproduc
ton would lose it's effectiveness. 1t
was a brief resume of the life of the
doughboy, and much of it was given
in dialect, which was particularly APP
pealing. 1t was a forceful talk, and
one that the fellows listened to every
instant. At the conclusion the cap
tain was roundly applauded.
At this point in the program the
service men gave three cheers for the
committee, Miss Seguin, the captain,
the marshal, the mayor, and numer-
Gus others who had been instrumental
in planning for or adding to the pleas
ures of the day

The Illumination


It was pretty spectacle that the
hundreds Of onlookers gazed upon A
string of incandescent electric lights
had been hung up around the square,
and the red, white and blue bulbs
made a pretty effect, augmented by
two powerful search lights and the
bright sign of the Putnam Light &
Power Company on the corner. To
make the square suitable for dancing,
several bags of meal were spread up
on the surface which made the ground
look as if the first snow squall of the
season had arrived People in all
walks of life entered into the spirit of
the occasion, and it was like a happy
family joyously engaged in recrea-
ton Dance after dance was had and
encore after encore followed each
number. All were loath to stop and
it was nearly midnight before the last
waltz was played and large gather
ing stayed until the last note had died
away.

quired for the evening. 1t was found
that the band, or band. was neces-
sary for the out door music, and the
leader was appealed TO for the bands
services. At first there was hesitation
as the organization had not brought
suitable music, and one at least of the
number was engaged to play else
where. However, in order not 20 mar
the perfect program of the day, the
leader finally consented and the mem
Der broke his engagement that Put
nam might have the bands services in
this last feature of welcoming home
its boys. The music was hastily re-
arranged, and waltzes, one-steps and
the lively music for the square dane
es was played with snap that was
particularly pleasing to the many
couples. The band deserves credit
both for its fine music and for not dis
appointing the committee in its hour
of need.

Block Dancing In Union Square

There was a short hull following the
banquet. as all waited for an innova-

dancing in Union Square. The wealth
err was still threatening and there was
fear expressed that the dancers would
have to retire to Union hall, which
was made ready for this emergency,

back his showers until the good night

let it loose and Tuesday morning PEG
