 Putnam clerks had no fault to find with the weather Thursday afternoon which is their half holiday during the 1 summer months. Many took advantage 1 of the beautiful day to go to Roseland 1, Park, Woodstock. There were many golf [ CTS on the links of the Putnam Country 1 club.
 l Oil has been received in Putnam, and Thursday morning city employees were l engaged in applying it to South Main street from Grove street to Front. This road was rebuilt few weeks ago and
 at that time was dressed with dirt. No oil was then available and as a result ! the dressing was rapidly wearing away. The application of the oil on Thursday 1 remedies this condition, and the street | is now in excelien condition. 1 Stella GordIey of Middle street, Put 1 nam, appeared before Judge Mahion H. l Geisler in the Putnam city court Thurs | day morning to answer to the charge of | having an unlicensed dog in her pos session. Dog Warden Nelson Clair tes- i tified that he had several times told Mrs Gordley that she was violating the law in not having a license for her dog. The defendant told the court that last Oc- l tober she obtained a license and attach 1 ed the metal plate to the dogs collar. Later the collar was lost tag and all She further stated that she though the ] license she took out last Octiber was l good until October of this year, and l she did not know that it expired on l the first of May. Town Clerk David 1 Falg testified that Mrs. Gordley had not l taken out license since the old one ex- pired. Judge Geissler found the defendant guilty and imposed fine of one dollar, and costs amounting to s1.20. This was paid. Comm snder Edward F. Perry, of Anselm Mayotte post of the American l Legion, Putnam, said Thursday that the post has received no information for it's members as yet concerning the Victory medals which have been isued by the l United States government. and to one of 1 which every ex-soldier who served hon. orably between April 6, 1917 and Nov. l II. 1913. is entitled. This fact prob 1 ably accounts for the failure of Put nam's ex-service men to apply for the l medals only a very few of which have l been received here. Men who served l overseas, though they in addition are | awarded distinctive battle and service l clasps To get these medals all that 1 it is necessary for Putnam soldiers to do 1 is to apply at the nearest army recruit. | ing station and present their discharge papers. It is also possible to send the 1 discharge or certified copy of it, by mail to the nearest recruiting office, and l the medal will be sent by mail Members of the Putnam Civil League have been invited to attend the meet ing of the Woodstock Equal Franchise League to be held Monday afternoon, 1 July 12, at the home of Miss Insa Hin richs on Woodstock Hill Frederick w Hinrichs is to speak on Civic Responsi- bility.
