city, and for that matter towns for miles around Putnam, with some ex- eeptionally fine entertainment. They spared no expense in providing music, vaudeville and the like. for the en- ioyment of their thousands of guests. For this they are to be congratulated and commended. For band hire. vau- deville troupes, clowns and fireworks. the Elks spent practically s2,000 So it will be seen that their entertain ment features entailed heavy expendi- ture.
 Through the courtesy and generos- ity of the Elks, the Woman's Board of the Day Kimball Hospital was priv ileged to operate one of the booths on the fair grounds. The enterprise was generously patronized and as result more than the $250 needed to buy the babies clothes drier for the hospital, was netted. The drier will fill dis tinct need. as now, during continued rainy weather. the garments must be dried over stoves, which is long and inconvenient method, to say the least.
 A large number of members of Put nam Lodge of Elks worked like tro- jans during the fair, many of them putting in long hours after Putnam had locked it's doors for the night and were peacefully slumbering. These latter were the ones whose job 1t was to count the money taken in each night, wrap the silver and balance. It was 2. 3, 1, and one morning nearly , o'clock before this job was complet- ed.
 Cooperation Aided Fairs Success,
 But the money men" were not the only ones that worked hard. Scores of members are responsible for the success of the biggest affair Putnam has ever had. The brother fraternal men worked in harmony and complete cooperation throughout the affair and this pulling together" spirit was re- sponsible in a large degree for the complete success of the venture. Now that it is over, the Elks are catching up on the many hours of sleep they lost. and resting from their zealous and wearing salesmanship efforts. But they are a happy lot and are grateful to the public for the interested, liber- al patronage accorded their affair.

Because he took a United States Army automobile from the garage at Providence. without permission, and used it recently in the attempted kid mapping of Wilfred Sharpe, son of Dr. and Mrs. Harry Sharpe of Putnam, at Wildwood Park, Private Kerwin has been placed under arrest and will be eourtmartialed. Two of the charges that will face him when he is placed on trial will be theft and scandalous conduct.
 The arrest of Kerwin was made at the instance of Maj. Gen Clarence Edwards, commander of the First Corps Area, United States Army, who has interested himself in the matter of the army automobile that was used in the attempted Kidnapping of young Sharpe by his wife, resident of Prov idence. General Edwards is indignant over the matter, to put it mildly. and has instituted proceedings that will end in kerwin being severely punished for stealing the government ear and making use of it in the scandalous af- fair that attracted attention all over New England.
 Lieut.. Thorpe Investigates
 Lieut.. Elliott R. Thorpe has been assigned to the case by Gen. Edwards and he is engaged in Investigating the whole matter In looking up the Put nam end of the affair--which is his chief task--Lieut. Thorpe paid n visit to this city yesterday.

FRESH FRUIT FAKIRs.

One of the most common frauds
in the sale of foods at the present
time is the practice followed by Ger
tain unscrupuious dealers in fresh
fruits. Window displays are made Of
first-class goods to attract custom
ers, and second-class of third-class
articles are passed out at the time
sales are made. It is an extremely
difficult matter to make a court case
against such dealers under the pro-
visions of the pure food and drug
act, for the reason that fruits r not
labeled and are not generally pur-
chased by standard, recognized terms.
A more observing and critical buy
ing public can, however, eliminate
this sleight-of-hand humbug.
