CITY COURT POLICY
 TELL OR GO TO JAIL.
Drunks Face Hard Problem When Question Is Pro-
 pounded
Man Agrees 10 Pay $lo or SIS Week
 Towards Support of Childr~~

Now tell us. where did you get your liquor7' Following this question, propounded by the prosecutor of the Putnam city court, a look of dsabt and perplexity is registered on the face of the man who has pleaded gull ty to charge of intoxication. ' is generally followed by n lapse of nem- ory or the reply that the. man who procured the liquid is unknown.
 Then follows the judges statement. You can either tell or go to jail. It is up to you" This brings home to the man in the dock the seriousness of the situation he is in. A friend has procured him the forbidden juice. He has drank too much and has been ar- rested. Shall he protect the friend and go to jail? Does he think honor calls for sacrifice on his part, that his friend shall be protected? It ts . hard proposition and perplexing problem.
 In many cases recently disposed of in the little court across the river. men have refused to answer this pointed question and gone to jail in conse- quence. It is problem that each man must solve for himself. Tell or go to jail' has become the policy of the court and when it becomes broad ly advertised that such is the case, the man who procures and the man who drinks may think more seriously of the matter before the illegal sale and illegal drinking is indulged in.
 Thursday morning there were two drunks arraigned before Judge Geis- sler. The first was Thomas Blake. formerly resident of this city, now

The Mems Club of Putnam. so sue eessfully organized last winter, began the second year of it's career with a banquet held in the dining room of the Second Congregational church on Wednesday evening, when the menl- bers of the club had the good fortune to entertain as their first visiting guest. the Hon. Everett J. Lake, Re publican candidate for Governor of Connecticut. Over sixty members of the club gathered at o'clock for an excellent dinner served by the mem- bers of the Alpha Delta Class, Mrs. Alfred Harvey, chairman, a number of young men of the congregation serving at the tables.
 Mr. Lake, although in the midst of his campaign, dropped politics for the evening to tell the club of his expert ences as a worker for the Y. M. .. A. during the war. This experience, 1t was felt was far more interesting and intimate for an audience that num- bered many friends who had known him in his earlier days in Woodstock and Putnam. Mr Lake was in France for over a year and he knew varied experience, for he worked at the ports, at the front. and finally was the organizer of the Y. M. C. A. work in the south of France following the signing of the armistiee.
 Naturally such a varied experienee brought a great fund of reminiseenee on which the 'Guv,' as he was alice tionally called by the donghboys, drew at length Mir. Lake told experiences amusing. thrilling or touching. But
