 Results of The Campaign
 As a result of the campaign The Putnam Patriot IS now the largest weekly in the State of Connecticut, outstripping it's closest contestant, The Newtown Bee, by nearly two thousand subscriptions The weekly subscription list of The Patriot is now well over 1000 and with the news stand sale added to this the publiea- ton per week is over 5000 copies.
 The contest has doubled The Pat riots subscription list. The paper now goes to practically every English speaking home in this section of the country. As an advertising medium, the contest has therefore doubled The Patriots effectiveness.
 But the close of the campaign would not be complete without some word regarding tine manner in which ii was conducted by the campaign manager, Mr. F. J. Award. as well as the way in which all of the contest

 Takes New Quarters
 The Legion has taken it's new rooms in Wolfe -Kaminsky block and is now in prospect of having a suitable meet ing place for the fifSt time since it's organization nearly three years ago. But the treasury of the Post Is far from full, and many things are need cd for the new rooms. It is proposed to make the ball such an event that it will attract the seasons largest crowd and enlist the interest and the help of the people of this section of the eoun- ty, Putnam has never done great deal for it's service men since their re. turn home. Unlike most of the sur rounding towns, there has never been a movement for the erection of War Memorial. nor is there even a roster of service. The Post feels that in helping them to establish the new quarters, the city will be making up for this ap- parent neglect.

SEIZE MUCH LIQUOR IN SO. WOODSTOCK
Prohibition Agents Raid Two Places.-Both Yield Large
 Stills

Federal prohibition agents, with Captain of Police Delagc of Putnam cooperating, cleaned up one spot in South Woodstock last night. where moonshine has been distilled in quan- titles, the officers say. They visited the so-called Capwell place on the west side of Harrisville pond. and after their raid, carried away 20 gallan capacity still, i2 quarts of moonshins whiskey 100 pounds of sugar, 50 gal Ions of mash and 200 pounds of wheat. The police made note of two automobiles standing in front of the place, bearing Connecticut licenses.
 Arre.s Polish Man
 Three Russian Polish men. the po- lice say. were apparently in charge of the house and it's contents. and one Of them was ordered into court at WiIii- mantle next Tuesday.
 In an upstairs room was fouad . man apparently desperately i'll. an oxygen tank being at his bedside and in use, in the hope of saving his life The police could not determine the cause of the mans critical condition
 During their raiding Officers Cong don. Briggs, Jackson and Delage visit ed woodehoppers shanty In South Woodstock on the property between that of Fred Sheldon and the Burns estate.

their work. To this praise The Pat. riot adds it's words of satisfaction. Mir. Award spent eight weeks in Putnam and despite the many suarls which such contest might have developed he seemed to avoid or ride them all without becoming in the least ruffled Moreover. The Patriot cannot praise his work more highly than to say that he conducted the biggest campaign in the history of Windham County with out in the slightest interfering with the routine daily occupations of other Patriot employees.
 Thanks 10 Contestants
 Here and now The Patriot thanks everyone who took pArt in the cam paign. We are sorry that there were not prizes for everybody, but as 1t Is everyone who stuck out the fight through it's course of eight weeks re. eeiyed some reward.
 They were all splendid contestants. They did their work cheerfuiiy and thoroughly and in most cases refrain ed from unfortunate and untrue gossip regarding the methods and tac- tics of their fellow contestants. It was, in brief, complete success. this campaign, and the success is due to every contestant from the largest prize winners to the smallest.
 Parade In Spite of Rain
 Rain. n.-pinss. quarts and gallons of 1t. began to fall early Saturday eve ming, just at the time that The Patriot had planned to begin it's parade through the streets of Putnam in or
