The Armistice Parade

In the first long line wearing the
drab,
Bearing their glorious flag ahead,
Their marching ranks, and silent
tread
In memory of their World War
dead.
Next the Spanish-Amcrican men,
Who stormed the blood-stained
hills of San Juan,
Their forms erect, still marching
on,
Facing toward their setting sun.
Then came to view only nine,
In wonderful, strong, heroic line
That one time reached for blocks
and blocks,
This remnant with their whitened
locks.

CROWDS SEE CIRCUS,
 SWELTER IN HEAT
Many Receive Drenching When Thunderstorm Comes As
 Show Ends
Patriot and Rotarians Hosts to Large
 Groups of Children

Sparks circus. as far as Putnam Is concerned. is history now for another season. But what a memory t will be
 Almost at the end of the afternoon performance. 8 thunderstorm came up and proved the worst of the season. The greatest part of the circus crowd was kept under the tent until the worst of the storm was over and then made a dash for the special troileys that awaited nearby. As it was, about everybody received fairly good soaking.
 It was almost noon when the par ade got under way. It was scheduled to start at .20 o'clock. This delay was caused by the circus management having to change the location of the show from the lot selected to that hired by the Elks for it's fair next week. The circus people found that the ground was so .'soggy" that when they drove heavy teams on to it. the vehicles sang to the wheel hubs. The Elks' Fair lot solved the problem. ani after some delay the equipment was taken there. But the delay played havoc with the parade and caused hun dreds of people to wait about down town.
 Few Changes On Program
 Sparks Circus is much after the one that showed in Putnam year ago, but the changes in the program are big improvements, especially the three new animal acts. Practically every one declared that the whole show is so remarkably good that they enjoyed the performance thoroughly and had nothing but praise to offer for the management. Being a circus of the three-ring variety, and having some of the worlds greatest artists, there was plenty going on every second 10 command everyone's attention and give the big crowd no end of pleasure. And there were not few thrills on yap. particularly when one recalls the aerial trapeze acrohats and the tiger and lion acts along about the middle of the program. It is safe to say that there was no one iu the crowd who would have cared Co exchange places with the trainer inside the cage with the lions, one of which. at the afte~- noon performance, ''playfnlly" smash ed an ordinary kitchen chair when the lion snatched 1t from his master with his teeth.
 Children Attend Circus
 Included in the throng at the after noon performance was a group of so children from the public and parochial schools of the city who were guests of The Putnam Patriot. The youngsters would doubtless not have been able to attend the circus If i; had not been for l The Patriot party, and The Patriot ! had exactly as much fun taking them, l as the children did in attending. They were supplied with peanuts aplenty. I most of the children saving some so that they might feed the elephants.
 Another happy group of children ! present at the afternoon performance came from the Windham County Fem l porary Home. They were guests of | the Putnam Rotary Club, which gen eroasly and thoughtfully seized the circus as the occasion of giving the | young people a good time.
