POLICE GET COMPLAINT
Captain Delage lnspeets Slaughter
 house-Want Meat Inspector

/ Acting on a complaint he had recei-
 we'd. Captain of Police Delage paid a
 visit Friday afternoon to 6 slaughter
 house on the outskirts of Putnam, to
 see what the conditions were there
 and under what circumstances cattle were killed The Captain was told, it is stated, that cattle killed there suffered unduly Everything was found by the Captain to be in satis- factory condition. but as no butcher ing was being done when he made his visit. he could not observe what me thods were pursued.
 The complaint the captain received and his visit. has started anew the dis cussion on the question of meat in- spection in the City of Putnam--that is. the inspection of native beef be- fore it is offered for sale, condition that does not exist today. 4 veterin- arian connected with the state depart ment of domestic animals Is authority for the statement that under present conditions it Is possible to place on sale in Putnam any and all kinds of meat. It is being urged that the city fathers take the matter in hand and arrange for the legal requirements 1 whereby all meat Is officially inspect ed before it b placed on sale-as a 1 safeguard to the health of the people | 1f the city. Such inspection. il is 'tSted. would cost little or nothing.

TROUT FISHERMEN
 MUST BE CAREFUL

Ignorance of the proper methods of handling and deliberate rough treat ment of the young fish, were deserib- ed by John NJ. Titeomh, consulting ex- pert of the state fish and game com mission. as some of the principal causes for the scarcity of trout.
 Commenting on the fact that the trout season will open on April l, Mr. ritcomb said that a great deal of mis- sionary work on the treatment of the fish was necessary. In many cases, he said. fishermen, after catching a young trout which is under the six inch limit set by law handle it with dry hands before returning 1t to the water. This, he points out, removes the mucous membrane from the fish, which serves as a protection. A fish which has lost portions of this pro tective material Is soon attacked by fungus growth which eventually de- stroys it.
 Wetting the hands before lSndling the fish will eliminate this danger, ae- cording to Mir. Titcomb. and he urges that this fact be impressed on the minds of all lovers of trout fishing if the sport is to be kept at its best.
 The necessity of carefully observ- ing the law which stipulates that all trout under six inches shall be re- turned to the water was brought out by the fish expert in pointing out that if this rule is observed the young fish will reproduce at least once before il is caught. A female trout averages .0OO eggs Co the pound.

LOCAL SHIPPERS BROWN ON
 NEW RIVAL ORGANIZATION
ALPHA PHI SIGMA SOCIETY THREATENS PoPUIARIT, OF LODGE" STARTED HERE RECENTLY
 MEMBERS JOINING RAPIDLY
Members Pledged Not to Give Away of tn
 Brightest Stunts By Those Initiated"

Organizations of the "Shifters" in this vicinity, which have gained mem- bers faster than Ponzi annexed dollars from any unsuspecting public, are threatened in popularity by the newer society-the Alpha Phi Sigma.
 Now this fresh (meaning new-born) organization is practically identical in purpose as the Shifters, the only difference apparently being that it has a more dignified name.
 According to members of the Alpha Phi Sigma, the Greek words stand for A. P. S., which reduced to be further intelligible to the layman, simply means, Another Poor Sucker"
 The fact of the matter is that a large number of people all over this territory-as we'll as their brothers and sisters in the east generally-have been taken into the Shifters. and therein lies a tale. The story has found it's way into the columns of many a newspaper, so we will not try to repeat even a part of what has been said. NLocal "doings" are what we are interested in most, and will be recounted here.
 First Local Shifter Unknown
 Just who was the first Shifter in Putnam is point that has not been cleared up. but it seems a certainty | sl was a close second. At any rate, the organization has gained in numbers with marked rapidity, and today any number of badges of memberships brass paper clip-may be seen on the coats of men and the shirtwaists of women-for the ladies are not barred from being Shifters.
 There appears to be no authority on the rules and regulations of the or ganization, in this city, but from a variety of sources 1t seems that before one can be initiated and become a shifter he must take a solemn oath that he will do whatever he is told to do, without equivoeation or mental reservation. The oath taken, the in. itiate proceeds to fulfill his obligation.
 How Some Are Initiated
 This may consist, as it did with one Putnam man, of simply handing over a demanded two dollar bill, which the master of ceremonies immediately pocketed. This $2 bill was simply shifted from one purse to the other.
Putnam patriot., 1922-03-31

Fine ideal And thus you become a shifter.
 They do tell a story about high school girl who took the oath and was instructed to wear her hat all one par ticular day-the day being one on which the usual school sessions were held. The young lady appeared in classroom with her ellie millinery and was told by the teacher to take 1t of And the story goes that the young lady replied that she couldn't, where upon she was asked why she couldn't take it off, the youthful student, blush. ing rosy red, replying that she couldn't tell whyl So an interview with the principal succeeded in having the hat placed in the dressing room and everything seemed thereafter to go along serenely. But the young lady didn't, that day, become a shifter because she did not carry out her part of the initiation.
 There is also the story going the rounds that a certain Putnam young man was required to get aboard a street car and pass out toothpicks to all passengers. this act being the one imposed upon him as his initiation ''stunt" to become a Shifter.
 Mustn't Give Away Secrets
 Besides requiring that Shifter shall not tell what he did to become member of the society and that he shall not tell who made him a Shifter, there are grips, passwords and hailing salutations. A sample of the latter is the following: Have you washed your ears today?" To say this to a person, instantly stamps you as one of the elect silly ones," showing that you, too. have paid the penalty and are Shifter. They say that local youth had arranged to take girl friend to certain dance recently. He was Shifter. but she wasn't. This, however. he did not know, he presum- ing that she had been initiated. So the young lady's consternation may well be imagined when it is stated that upon calling for her, the young man declared: Have you washed your ears today?" It is needless to say that the young lady was so provoked at the moment that the young man went along to the dance alone. It may be added that the awkward situa- tion between the two his since been adjusted.

Present British Policy
Is Hard to Understand

The governments policy of sur
render to and placation of enemies
has done much to encourage the revo-
lutionaries to weaken British author
ity in India. It is responsible for the
frightful state of affairs in Ireland,
which is rapidly degenerating into the
same condition OF anarchy and eco
nomic ruin as Russia.
To placate the rebels. the govern
ment grossly has betrayed the loyal
lists and all who trusted the govern
ment's promises. Adding to our diff
f1culties, the prime minister has
estranged France by negotiations with
the soviet government.
To conclude. the government Is CO.
operating with the enemies OF the
kingdom. Therefore. conservatives
who stand by their principles can
have no relations with the present
government.
To have relations with it would I'M
ply that they were as INDIFFERENT u
principle as is the Government.
