The Liberty loan train showing tro- phies captured by Americans from the Cermans will be here next Thursday from noon until 2 o'cloek. The train, it is said, should be visited by every- one who cares about seeing things of real interest. Many claims for deferred classifi- cation have been filed by manufactur- ers and other employes of labor in the town of Killingly for men in their employ. This has been brought about by the constantly increasing shertage in the jabor market. A mass for soldiers of the will be said at St. James' church this morning, when thére will be many communiens. A drive for towels, napkins, hand- kerchiefs, ete, will be: made in this town next week by the Red Cross. Members of the Civic federation held a meeting at the home of Mrs, E. H. Keach, Broad street, Priday af- ternoon, With the annual election only 48 hours away, it may be said that there has been far less aetivity this year than for many years at elegtion time in Kiilingly, For mesat of the voters, world politics are overshadowing those of a strictly local nature. As the houses during which the Lib- erty lean train will be here next Thursday are such that it will be eon- venient for most peaple to see it with- out losing working tirae, it is not like- ly it is said that a half-holiday will be declared here, as will be done in most places in Connecticut. There was little change here Friday in the health sityation, whole, such change as there was seemed to be for the better. Many are ill, but the cases continue to be of such a nature as not to be really alarming.

" PUTNAM Estimates of the fire damage in this city’s big blaze, that did not burn out until early Friday morning, ran dur- ing Friday as high as $50,000, The chief damage is to the dry goods stock ef the B. G. Bugbee store, the largest mercantile establishment in the city. The fire, which broke out at mid- night, damaged the building occupied entirely by the Bugheo stere and the adjoining brick building known as the court house block. The heat inside the Bughee store was so terrific as to cause the plate glass in the big show windows on the Elm street side to crack jin many places. A Though the loss is one of the mest severe that has occurred in any fire in this eity since the conflagration at the Wheaton Buildj and Lumber Gompany's plant and adjoining pro- perties a few years ago, it claimed special public attention because of the fact that there is very strong sus- pici#a that the fire was of incendiary erigin, and on Friday two young men were being held at the police station that they might be questioned as to what they may be able to tell about the fire. It was understood Friday aft- ernoon that no charges had been filed against them, nor was it admitted by officials that they had obtained any in- formation from them that might help in fixing the responsibility for the fire. The fire that damaged the Bugbee building and the Courthouse block was discovered by Irving H. Miron, chief clerk of the local hoard, wha was at work in the local board office at Torrey and Geissler’s when he heard an alarm ring in for a fire in the rear of the Mullan building on Main street. Running out to see this fire, he dis- covered smoke pouring out from be- hind the Courthouse block on Elm street and saw the glare of flames. o Runnin~ in an alley way between the Courthouse block and the build- ing occupied by the A. and P. store, Mr. Miren, who had been joined by Fred. Bruce, found a pile of ' boxes heaped near the rear entrance, to the Bugbee store blazing. Mr. Miron said Friday that if he had had a fire ex- tinguisher at that moment he could have, very probably put the blaze un- der control or extinguished it entire- ly. He and Mr, Brucé tried frantic- ally to force the rear door of the Pro- mress confectionery store in the Court- house building te et water they knew was there, but without avail. The firemen responded promptly, but the fire spread with such rapidity that it gained big headway before the fight against it began_ and heavy damage was caused the Bugbee store before the fire was put out. The fire department worked valiant- ly and successfully against a blaze that threatened a real disaster to Putnam, and were it not for the damage to the large and very valuable stock in the apartments in the Bradley Theatre building had to be aroused before they learned of the fire, hut all of them escaped without injury. As the fire gained headway it ate through the store huilding and began to sweep the interior when the fight against it was commenced by the department. Thousands of zallons of water were poured into the store from streams that led in from Elm street and from Front street and down from the roof. At the same time the fire swept up- ward under the gverhang of the Court- house block into the superior court room. The fire was quickly checked in its sweep to engulf this building, but hefore it was controlled the flames had eatep through the floor in front of the bench and had damaged that corner of the courtroom in which is the fireplace and prisoners’ pen, the room reserved for the judge and had cauesed some damage in the room. The law libragy, in the next large room adjoining escaped with barely a trace of injury and the big law library is iptact and undamagee. Tenants—business places—on walls of the Bughee Jury the street floor of the Courthouse block had their stocks damaged in greater or lesser degree, chiefly from smoke, but the M. J. Lyneh store's stock was not injured in any way, On the Front street side the stoek in the stére of Mark Wilson, cigars, confectionery, masgazines, efc., was damaged to the extent of about $1,000. Giraca’s fruit store, Courthouse bleck, had some damage from smole, as had the Progress Confectionery store, adjoining. The belief that the fire was of in- cendiary origin seems to stand on firm ground, for it was within a few min- utes after the alarm eame in for the fire in rubbish in the rear of the Mul- same conditions as the Mullan fire. It is possibie, it was said Friday aft- ernoop, that the investigations now underway may bring forth startling announcements as to incendriasm, Putnam has had a series of bad fires, all in the eentral section of the bus- iness distriet, within the past three but, on the| or four months, and it is not thought likely that all occurred in what might be termed legitimate ways. Insurance will reimburse to some ex- tent persons who lost in the big fire that almost was an exclusive topic of convergation here Friday, but the net loss will not be inconsiderable. Though the name of John Edward O'Claire, North Grosvenordale, ap- peared in the offieialF casuaity lists published Friday as having been se- verely wounded in aetion in Franee, it is thought by some here that there is an outside chance that this refers to the wounds he received in action some time ago, and about which he has written to his relatives in the nearby town. It is known that, in a great many instances the names in the casualty lists are of those injured weeks before, and it is Hoped that this will prove in O'Claire's case, for he is not only entitled to all the sympathy that naturally goes out to a wounded soldier fighting for the homeland “over there,” but also because he has made a splendid record as a fighting man and has figured in some hair- raising experiences operating with raiding parties at night in No Man's Land. His Aetters home have been in- tensely interesting. The teachers of the Putnam High school and Stgate Trade shop, with a few friends, gathered at the igh School library at 6 o'clock Thursday war, but things are |1 SOBER WORKMEN dry three months. evening for a surprise party arranged in honor of Miss Elizabeth Donovan, who has resigned from the local fac- ulty, and is soon to leave for Bridge- port, ‘ The library had been prettily deco- rated with autuymn leaves, and artis- tically arranged tables were set for supper. The menu included: Vegeta- ble soup, beef loaf, mashed potatoes, stréhg beans, rolls, jelly, pickles, cof- fee, ice cream. The supper was served by the fol- lowing girls, who were dressed in white with Colonial caps: Dorcas Bartlett, Ruth Bartlett, Mary Carpen- ter, Jessie Macdonald, Gladys Rob- bina. Following supper there was im- promtu speaking, every one of the 26 present being heard. Principal Snow of the high school was teastmaster. Later in the evening the party went to the scheol assembly hall, where there was dancing. To show their appréziation for M Donovan, all of those present, sig: ed a set of resolutions, which were presented to her. Miss Donovan has been in Putnam for several years and during her stay has made many friends. Her , work "at the high schooi and trade school as head of the domestic science depart- ments has heen most successful and faculty and school board alike are sorry to lose her services. The first registrant of this district to return here from ‘“over there” aft- er having been under fire and falling a vietiin to Hun frightfulness ealled at the office of the local board Friday morning. He is Wilfred Therrian, North Gros- venordale, private in A Company 2nd, U. S. Engineers. He fell at Belleau Woaods, where the marines made bril-| liant new war history for America and where hundreds of Americans were put out of action. Therrian was a gas victim, and the buttons on his uniform and even the ring on his fin- ger, temain discolored from the ef- fects of the mustard gas sent out by the men who are kicking against the American shotguns. Private Therrian was in seven hos- pitals in France before being return- ed to this country. Arrived here, he hag’ spent six weeks in a_government hospital at New Haven. He is feeling quite well again, but is unfit for ac- tivg service, so will do Liberty loan work in this district the next two weeks. On his left sleeve he wears two gold chevrons, significant of one year's service abroad and has another one dAue him for being gassed, to be worn on his right sleeve. Priyate Therrian said he would like nothiflg better than a chance to re- join his regiment and get into the “hig show” again. He was a volun- teer, leaving his employment in this cfty to get into action. Emil Ericson, who has been danger- ously ill,at the Day Kimball hespital, has so far recovered that he will be able to return to his heme in New Bos- ton, now Fabyans, today. Frivate Frank Phillips, limited ser- vice man assigned to the local board offices for this district, was reported Friday as dangerously ill with influ- enza at his home in Hampton. Miss Rosie Blanchette, 25, a bride- to-be, died of pneumonia at her home in_this eity. Dr. J. B. Kent was at New London to attend a meeting of medical men who gathered from various parts of the state to diseuss the influenza sit- uation. The Windham Ceunty Farmers’ as- sociation has arranged to hold an an- nual corn show on a date during the coming month. Rev. C, J. Harriman, formerly rec- tor of St. Phillip's here, now an army chaplain, is {ll with influenza at Camp Devens. MOOSUP Mrs. E. E.

DUPUIS THERE IS MORE MONEY IN A DRY TOWN FOR USEFUL EXPENDITURES AND FOR BANK SAVINGS. The drink bill of Killingly wet is probably in ex- cess of $100,000.00. If the town were dry this money would go into bonds, groceries, furniture, bank accounts, etc. “THE TOWN TREASURY WOULD BENEFIT. While liquor licenses bring in $4,875.00 a year, one must remember that the town spends $8,700.79 for the poor in the same time, that the net cost of the town court is $937.86 and the state tax is $6,773.47, which expenses, $16,411.66 in all, are occasioned in considerable part by the effects of drink. The liquor licenses bring in only about two and one- half per cent. of the town’s income. Is it worth while? A DRY, CLEAN TOWN ATTRACTS MORE BUSINESS THAN A WET ONE. This is contrary to the old idea, but it is amply berne out in the experience of a thousand modern communities that have cancer has put many a town out of the running. i A DRY TOWN GETS MORE IN REAL VALUES FOR WHAT IT SPENDS.
