more local clubs" is the slogan of
the directors. The aim is to have at
least six Holstein Clubs in Iowa
County by the end of the year, and
the communities mentioned were
Arena, and Hollandale. However,
they extend an invitation to any com
munity in the county to get busy,
hold a local meeting, and join the
county association. To encourage
this work the county association will
pay for any community's first "feed"
For further information write the
County Agent or any of the officers.
Several of the clubs are already
planning to show a herd at the coun-
ty fair and the association is taking
steps to have the Fair Association
clean and disinfect one dairy exhibit
building to be used exclusively for
tuberculin tested dairy cattle.
In order to encourage Club herd
exhibits the association has planned
to put up Silver Loving Cup to go to
the Club which wins first prize for
two years in succession. More will
be said about this later.
The directors and officers OF the
County Association will meet again
at a later date at the call of the Pres
dent. County Agent.

Mayor Macdonald Is Named
 To Succeed Postmaster Gilman
CONGRESSMAN FREEMAN WIRES PATRIOT THAT CITY CHIEF HAS BEEN RECOMMENDED TO POST
 MASTER GENERAL-A GRATIFYING ACTION
Approval of President and All That Is Necessary
 Now to Complete Appointment

A telegram received last evening from Congressman Richard P. Free man Co The Patriot announced that MT Freeman has recommended Mayor Archibald Macdonald to the Postmas- ter General Co be appointed postmas- ter of Putnam Co succeed the present postmaster. Alexander Gilman. The change of postmasters must now await the Presidents signing of the appointment Mir. Macdonald has been notified by the congressman of his successful passing gf the required postmaster's examination and his ap- pointmeut of office should follow within a few weeks.
 The recommendation of Mir. Mac donald will undoubtedly be received with great deal of interest and satis- faction throughout the city It comes as the continuation of a long period of splendidly active work in the interests of the city He has served Putnam in many more ways than the general public realizes. During his services as senator for this district in the leg stature he has represented this half of Windham county actively and has attended to Windham county inter ests with an uLseasingly vigilant eye. In the various municipal crises which have fallen to the lot of the city dur ing the past few years his sound com mon sense. his firm and direct meth ods of action have more than once cut short many unnecessary and trouble some discussions If the postmaster ship is to be regarded as d reward for public service, Mayor Macdonald Is surely the outstanding citizen of Put nam 10 whom the present appointment should have been awarded.
 AS announced in The Patriot some months ago, Postmaster Gilman has for long time desired to relinqussii his office in order that he may devote his entire time to the interests of A. Gilman < Company. Mir. Gilman has been an excellent postmaster. He has handled his office efficiently and with n highly eommendable energy in tha interests of extending, simplifying and making more complete the postal ser vice both in the city and in the sur rounding country. His position as one of the leading merchants in the city has also grown steadily since his purchase of the old Ballard X Clara firm. which Is now conducted under his own name.

DOOR WINDOW CUT,
 WORK OF THIEVES

What appears 10 the police as a bold attempt to gain entrance to the business place on Main street of Gi- raca < Sons Co., was discovered Sun dav morning. Some sort of an instru- ment. perhaps an inferior glass cut ter. was used on the glass in the front door window. it appeared as if fl was intended to cut square of the glass away and attempt, by inserting the hand, to open the door from the in- side. Captain Delage believes that whoever made the attempt was fright. cned away.
 Captain Delage has been engaged in recent weeks in investigations of petty thievery on the part of boys. One lad of tender years stole gold piece and going to n store, made purchase and tossed the clerk the coin. saying: There's quarter. Take it out of that Investigation disclosed that the gold piece had been stolen.
 Other such affairs have occurred of late and in each case the matters have been adjusted between the parents of the boys and other parties concerned. But Captain Delage believes that means more strenuous must be taken Co put an end to such practices of a certain number of boys, and he de- clares it his intention to arrest them, unless they turn over new leaf. and ask the juvenile court to send them to the reform school.
