 The merchants' committee of the Put nam Chamber of Commerce held a meet ing recently and recommended that all stores in the city close on the afternoon of Armistice day, Nov. H. This action was taken with the idea that the town and city cooperate with the Anselm Mayotte post of the American Legion to make this celebration town and city affair. Last year the Legion gave so- cial and dance to the ex-service men and their friends. and this year it is hoped that other organizations, municipal, patri- otic and fraternal will cooperate with the post for general celebration.
