MEMORIAL DAY MAY SEE COMPANY READY
New Headquarters Company Could Parade If Recruits
 Report Now
Captain MeGarry Urges Putnam Men
 to Act al Once

If Putnam young men who intend to present themselves for examination as the first step toward becoming mem bers of the headquarters company. 42ra Division, Connecticut National Guard, take action without delay, it is probable that the company can be or ganized and equipped SO that it can participate in the Memorial Day exer- vises. This may be an outside possi- bility. but is not hopeless. This all de bends on how fast the company Is re- cruited to the minimum strength of fifty men.
 John J. MeGarry, former National Guard officer. who is the captain of the company now being organized. as told exclusively in The Patriot fortnight ago, states that on Monday night at q recruiting rally in the Chamber of Commerce rooms, twenty-three men were examined by Dr. F.. F. Perry. veteran of the World War. This mum Der is nearly half the minimum strength of the command.
 Two More Recruiting Nights
 Two more recruiting rallies will be held next week. one on Monday night and the other on Tuesday night, both in the Chamber of Commerce rooms. II is hoped that many men. who have a desire to belong to the new military unit, will come forward on these nights and present themselves for ex- animation.
 The time of the recruits themselves and the officers in charge will be saved and matters in general will be expe- dited, fl these men could arrange to have their papers filled out before the examination hours on Monday and Tuesday nights. Captain MeGarry states that he will assist such recruits in so making out their papers, if they care to call at his store at the corner of Grove and South Main streets be- tween and o'clock any afternoon.
 Must Have so Recruits
 The new company will not be for mally organized and it's members sworn in until at least the fifty neces- sary recruits have been received. The maximum strength of the command is sixty-fve to seventy-five men, but things can be started with the mini mum of fifty.
 As soon as these have signed up and passed the required examination. steps will be taken immediately to get the company into motion. Events will happen rapidly after that, including the selection of commissioned and non- commissioned officers and the starting of drills. perhaps temporarily in un- ion Hall.

Washington. D. C.. April 30. 1924
 Airplanes may soon be buzEing in the sky near Putnam. Harris w. Whittemore of Naugatuck, who runs the Colonial Airlines, incorporated, and has a flying field at Bethany, is trying Co get the postoisce committee of the House to approve his propo- sition whereby he would be given the contract for carrying the government mail in New England. Mir. White more this week has had his representa- tive arguing before the committee.
 The program is an ambitious one and would be of interest to all New England and especially to Hartford and vicinity. For the scheme calls For the southern New England land ing field to be at Hartford. Thus, sairplanes would be flying to and from Providence. Springfield. and other New England eenters.
 X bill to extend the government airplane mail service from New York to Boston has been introduced in the House by Congressman Dallinger of Mass. So the question of air mail service in New England is on deck in Washington. Mir Dallingers bill con templates the governments doing the work.
 Mir. Whittemore, on the other hand. wants the government to delegate the job to his company which is said al- ready to operate several airplanes and to have capitol ready for invest ment in the new proposition.
 If Congress approves NIT. White more's proposal the step would not be entirely in accord with custom. For the government is in the air mail business. lt is very possible that off cials may decide Co let the government take care of the New England end. if the extension to New England k authorized
 In either event Putnam stands to see some airplaass. for a New York i to Boston service would certainly pass near Hartford and might take in Springfield and Providence.

WEBSTER WINS CONTEST
Hundreds Crowd Into Music Hall 10
 Witness Drill Competition

The Franco-Ameriean Garde of Webster was awarded first honors in the prize drill competition held last Saturday night in New Music Hall under the auspices of Garde Foch of Putnam. In all five gardes took part m the contest, they being Webster, Southbridge, New Bedford. Williman- tic and North Grosvenordale. The gathering which taxed the capacity of the hall, voted that the Southbridge Garde had the most popular captain.
 Garde Foch of this city, did not participate in the contest because they were the hosts of the evening and the home" garde never takes part in such events. The judges were Francis Met calf, John Moss, both of Putnam and George l.. Thompson of Webster.
 Prior to the drill contest, dancing was enjoyed. music being furnished by Braley's Sercnaders.
 A street parade was held before the evenings entertainment was started.
 What is believed to be a mocsasin print on rock has been found in Vir- ginia on Bolecamp Greek. The rock is fiat and level, approximately eight or ten feet in dimension. The track is about six or seven shoe size and represents the right foot. 4 rim about the edges of tn track would indicate pressure of the foot before the hard ening had taken place.

LEWIS AND CLARK STONE
WAS FAXED BY STUDENTS

The Choteau Acantha tells of
the recent expose of q hoax perpe-
trated on historians, as follows:
Last winter a report came from
Dutton of the finding of a large
rock three miles from that place
with the inscription in crude let
ters: 'Lewis 81 Cark, 1905"
Great excitement reigned for a
time in state historical circles.
Dave HiIger, secretary of the state
historical society, got more shop
ped up" about the matter than he
did over the year he discovered
Montana and Dog Creek in the Ju-
dith Basin. An examination of the
rock and inscription was made by
Colonel Stanford of Great Falls,
assisted by DR.. j. A. Sweat of
Dutton, and Sam Solid. A chance
clue investigated by the two latter
disclosed that several budding his
torians of the Dutton schools had
read not wisely but too well of the
history of the Lewis & Clark ex-
pedition over a century ago. They
chiseled out the legend on the
granite boulder, rubbed earth and
coffee grounds on the words to
give them true historical flavor
and look, and to make it COM
plete carefully secured moss and
ichen from the surrounding earth
and rocks and glued it on the
boulder, giving an appearance of
age.
Confessions followed and the
nrr,;Itv onac xrara furued ovar fo
their parents. The markings
which are said to have followed
were more painful than historical
if reports coming from Dutton are
correct.

FARMERS LOOKING
TOWARD MONTANA

A recent article in the Country
Gentleman, entitled Bargain Day
in Montana" is attracting inquiries
from all over the country relative to
agricultural opportunities in Mon
tana.
One letter received today by Dan
A. milestone, director of publicity
for Montana, from Amarillo, Texas,
states a desire to purchase 10000
acres of low priced land suitable for
wheat growing. Other communica-
tions have been pouring into Mr..
Whetstone's office daily.
AS a result of these queries, and
in order to be able to fully and hon
estly acquaint his correspondents
with the true situation in Montana,
Mr.. milestone is sending out let
ter to county agents, farmers, bank
ers and other reliable individuals
asking detailed data on available
farms.
His letter follows:
within the past two weeks a
number of inquiries have been di-
rected to this department, by men
who appear to have adequate means
to engage in large farming opera
tions, or in the sheep and cattle
industry in Montana. Most of these
letters have been prompted by read
ing the article in the Country Gen
tleman entitled, Bargain Days in
Montana" which stated, as you re-
call, that there were many chances in
all parts of the state to secure extern
sive and desirable tracts for farm
ing and stock raising.
"I now have on my desk three or
four letters from men who claim to
have $4,000 and $4,000 available for
investment, and Texas firm asks if
it is possible to secure 1,200-acre
tract at a reasonable figure.
"These inquiries indicate that men
of means are commencing to turn
their attention to this state. We
must do all in our poyer to stimulate
interest of this sort and give them
definite, dependable information as
to the opportunities to be found in
the various sections of Montana.
Will it be possible for you to assist,
by securing and forwarding to me at
the earliest possible date list of
large tracts that might prove attrac-
tive to those who wish to engage in
the above lines, the conditions that
might seem advantageous and the
approximate figures at which large
tracts for either farming or grazing
might be secured?
''If you are not in position to do
this, would you kindly suggest the
name of some one in your section
who could be depended upon to fur
nish the kind of information that
can be impaired without hesitation
to those making inquiries about that
particular part of the state, and who
will take the pains to reply direct
to those making such inquiries"
