and security"
 In order that there might be fur- ther proof of Grange interest in the Berne assembly, MT. Taber cabled tho American delegate to the Interna- tional Institute of Agriculture at Rome, Hon. Ashur Hobson, requesting him to attend if possible the Berne meeting and convey the greetings and good will of organized agriculture in America. The National Grange has long taken an active part in the work of the International Institute of Agri- culture and was one of the pioneer factors in securing its establishment.
 It is probably not generally known that nearly fifty years ago the Na- tional Grange appointed N II Wright as an organizing deputy for Europe, the Grange manual was translated in French, and local Oranges were or- ganized in both France and Switzer- land. People in those countries. how ever. were not sufficiently verscd ia the community idea to make the or- ganization thrive, and while these lo- calls were abandoned. some of the Grange seed still remains and shows signs of reviving interest. with the likelihood of another start in Grange organization in Europe within year or two.

SUIT MAY BE BROUGHTIN
 NAME OF PUTNAM BANK
CREDITORS ALLEGE GILPATRIC BOUGHT BONDS FOR THE STATE WITH FUNDS OF OTHERS AFTER HE
 HAD USED STATES MONEY PRIVATELY
Expert Accountants Going Over State Treasury Records
 to See If Ale gstions Can Be Verified

4 nice legal question may be raised in the affairs of the First National Bank of Putnam in the endeavor by the receiver to untangie the trans actions of its former cashier and may result in a suit against the treasurer of the state of Connecticut on behalf of the creditors of the Putnam bank in an endeavor tO recover from the state bonds or other securities alieR- ed to have been purchased with money belonging to the bank or to the estates of individuals represented by former cashier C Harold Gilpatric.
 Governor Trumbull has requested the state treasurer to allow expert accountants for the creditors of the bank to examine the state treasury records with a view to determining whether or not such transactions took place.
 If the allegations are true this does not add to the amount of the defal- cations already recorded and does not detraet from the statement that there has been no depletion of state funds. Ii simply means that the creditors al- lege that the state is possessed of se- eurities purchased by it's former treasurer with other than money be- longing to the state.
 Large Amount Involved
 The amount invovled is from s1s5.- 900 to s230. 900 and it is charged that the money was used for replaeements in the state treasury during the time that the cashier was state treasurer and juggling the affairs of the bank.
 The disclosure of the situation and the possibility of an endeavor being made to recover for the creditors of the bank started with the testimony of Receiver George NJ Coffin of the First National bank given in Hartford before Judge Ernest C. Simpson. in the trial of the action of the Hartford Connecticut Trust company. trustee of the estate of Joseph Cutler. against the United States Fidelity & Guar anty company of Baltimore, Md. and the Royal Indemnity company of New York.

 ber II

Joseph Breeu. representing the Shenandoah Flag and Decorating Company. is iu Putnam at the request of the merchants committee of the Putnam Chamber uf Commerce Co in- stall the cnmRany's flag decorating system In the few days that he has worked here over loo units have been contracted for in the business section.
 The plan is to have flags at inter vals Of twenty-five feet all through the business section of the city Sock cts are placed inside the curb and When not in use are covered with a metal cap. When the occasion for decora1ng arrives a flag on a twelve foot flag pole is set in the socket This makes uniform, attractive appear ance and Is much less expensive than the old method of spreading a lot of more or less dirty bunting over busi- ness blocks
 Another feature of the plan is that during the Christmas holiday season the system can be used as a means of decorating the main streets. In the sockets lighted Christmas trees are set and have proved very effective where the system has been in use for some time.
 People in the residential sections can use the same flag and socket in front of their homes 1T anyone wish es such installation The Patriot will gladly put them in touch with the agent The initial cost of installing the socket and procuring the flag and pole is small and will last for years
 Work of installing the sockets will begin next week and the flag decorat- ing system will be used for the first time in this city Armistice Day.

estate. of which GiIpatrie was trus- tee, had been used by Gilpatrie toward the purchase of Sls5, 900 in liberty bonds for the state of Connecticut. These bonds were purchased in Feb. 13, 1921, delivered to the Federal Re serve bank of Boston and turned over to the state the next day.
 The bonds purchased by Gilpatrie on Feb. l3. 1921. are claimed Co have been purchased to replace bonds stolen by him in October, 1920.
 Bond Transactions
 The claim of the creditors is pre- dicated on the purchase of liberty bonds for the state Gilpatrie as state treasurer bought Liberty bonds for the state through the bank of which he was cashier. The creditors allege that while the states money was in the custody of the bank for the purpose of buying these Liberty bonds Gilpatrie used this money for personal expenses expecting to restore the money in time Go purchase the bonds and deliver them to the state within a reasonable time When it became time to deliver the bonds without further delay and not having the states money to purchase the bonds with. the creditors contend. Gil patrie took money from estates of which he had control. and possibly funds of the bank. and with this money purchased the bonds which were delivered to the state treasurer office
 In other words it is alleged by the creditors that the state has no right to retain bonds purchased with money belonging to the bank and to private estates.
 Governor Templeton has been quoted as saying that the state has no more than belongs to it and that before any state funds are turned over to the bank the state will fight to the last ditch However, should the creditors be successful in recover. ing even the minimum amount alleged Co be wrongfully in possession of the state t would substantially boost the assets of the bank

after a long silence that followed a.
hot primary campaign announce
their support of the man who defeat
ed Hylan for the Democratic may
orally nomination.
During the primary campaign
State Senator James j. Walker at
tackled Hylan's administration as
eight years of hokum. Hylan now
says he will support the nominee be-
cause the latter has shown a dispo-
sition to carry out the policies OF
the Hylan administration in regard
to keeping a five cent fare and other
matters.
In an editorial that promptly fol-
lowed Mayor Hylan's declaration
Mr.. Hearts New York American said
Intelligent citizens should vote for
Walker to carry out Hylans subway
policy"
Meanwhile the state campaign by
Gov. Smith for four amendments 10
the state constitution which has
overshadowed the city campaign
since tho primary, was enlivened by
Attorney General Ottinger giving the
governor the lie direct from Albany.
A charge made here by Governor
Smith that an opinion OF the attor-
ney general was given out solely for
political reasons was described as a
'voluminous falsehood" by Mr.. OF
finger. Trouble with the governor.
according to his Republican accuser,
is that the truth is not in him."

candidate for mayor, has taken an
