James Aborn has been working on
a dam at Keech's pond. He finished
his labors and came to Putnam to
celebrate the event. James was asked
how he had spent his money and laid
claim to owning two new suits of
clothes and other wearing apparel
which he had in a grip somewhere in
America. James paid $40 rather
than to spend 80 days in jail.
Charles Davis said he was drunk
all right. He said he wasn't arrested
but that after he had had his innings
with king alcohol he forgot to re-
member anything. He did know that
some one hit him on the bridge Of the

The Fifth Liberty Loan Will Give
the Fighting Men What
We Enjoy Now.

The Fifth Liberty Loan, the vICTO-
RIOUS FIFTH, will go to give the
splendid soldiers and sailors of the
United States what the people at home
have had for two months already. 1t
will bring them back to enjoy peace.
They have won it for US, at what
expense to themselves the long, long
roll of casualties has told in part, but
they are still abroad or on the way
back to US We are welcoming those
who have come with joy at their re-
turn and In pride for their glorious
deeds.
To care for them in these months
that intervene, to tAnobilize the mil
Hons with due care. to give them back
to the ways OF peace at home Is the
work OF the Fifth Loan.
II any men In the world have
earned for their own country the right
to return to peace pursuits, well
equipped and abundantly provided,
they are the American overseas forces
Peace has It's opportunities no less
than war. Those who share in the
Fifth Liberty Loan get not only an
Investment, unsurpassed anywhere in
the world, but they buy the bonds
which clinch the greatest peace. They

won the peace for them are denied
nothing as they return to their homes.

The secretary further reported that
the association has earned ever since
it was instituted, little better than
six per cent dividends. Five per cent
dividends, compound interest, have
been declared and credited and the
balance of the net earnings has form
ed a neat surplus fund. The associa-
ton has not had the business it would
have had but for the war conditions
prevailing, practically stopping all
building operations and causing so
many demands for money for Liberty

The home building department of the

war conditions, will undoubtedly be

a little. The association has proved
that it is doing remarkably good
