That the business ain't worth while, ‘was frankly stated as his opinion by one of the city's well known dealers in falk- ing about the matter on Thursday. “There isn't any use trying to sell Put- nam people one-half of onme per cent. brews,” this former liquor dealer said; “they dom’t like the stuff, though some of them drink a little of it.” - None of the dealers here seem enthu- siastic over the prospect of selling the near-bears as 2 profitable busines they are going out. There were a score of licensed places in this city up to the first of last July. Some of these have been kept open for the sale of soft drinks and near beaars. Most of those who held licenses will give up their places now, however ; some of these places have heen closed for months, but the former deal- ers have been paying the rent. ‘This feeling among the liquor dealers at there will be some business locations to rent in the near future. the dealers have decided to quit, but the majority of them have and Putnam's well known resorts will be no more than a memory in the very near future. Mzs, Adeline F. Sprague, 97, is dead at her home in the Sawyer district of this town, where she had lived for many vears. Mrs. Sprague was a native of Rhode Island and was the widow of ‘William Sprague. Mrs. Sprague, who leaves three daughters, is the third per- son over 90 ycars of age to die in this section of the country during the pres- ent week. At Killingly Jacob Pidge passed away at the age of 98 years and at Hopkins Mills Mrs. Cyrus Arnold died at the age of 094 years. Mrs. Sprague was in the tenth month of her 98th year, Next Thursday will bring the- first half-holiday of the warm weather sea- son for the retail clerks of this city's stores. The closing on Thursday after- hoons will continue until after Labor in various lines will be very gener** day and it is expected that business in various lines will be very generally sus- pended on Thursday afternoons hereafter until the summer season ig waning. The clerks were expressing themselves on Thursday as well pleased with the cons cessions that have been granted them. Lieut. Robert Bridgeman of the state police department was a visitor jn Put- nam on Thursday. Lieut. Bridgeman was devoting his attention here to vari- ous matters that are claiming the at- tention of the department at this time. Leading republicans of this city are experiencing a sample of what President Wilson’s watchful waiting must have been like. All have their eves turned toward Chicago and thelr ears to the ground to catch the first hit of news that may indieate who is going to have the party romination. Some here are wish- ing for Wood, a few for Hoover, some for Hughes, but scarcely anyene of the well known republicans are for Johnson, who doesn't seem to appeal at all to the well known members of the party in this sec- tion. Stanislayy Wilk is chairman of the Po- lish committee that has undertaken the work of selling %5.000 worth of bonds of the Polish republic in Putnam and vieinity. The members of this com. mittee will eagage today and during Saturday in an effort to place these bonds, the money for which will be used in finaneing Poland’s efforts to erush out bolshevism and get eastern Europe back to a normal basis. Sunday evening will bring the first of the events of commencement week—the baccalaureate service for the senior class of Putnam high school and their rela- tives and friends. Stacy Baxter Sputh- worth will preach the sermon at this service, which s to be held in the Con- gregational chureh. Next Tuesday the members of .the freshmen and sophomore classes will have their puting and class picnic at Roseland park, in Woodstock, the class- es leaving here in the moring. Next Wednesday brings the Class Day exercises, always an event of speelal im- portance to the members of the gradu- ating class and their relatives and friends.

It was announced Thursday that the Putnam ehapter of the Red Cross has made available $300 for earrying en the work of the dental clinic established at the Isreal Putnam school. A few days since a gift of $100 from the Parent- Teachers’ assoclation was presented for the same worthy purpose, so it is now evident that the work so promisingly be- gun will not only be carried on but given a wider scope during the coming school year. It is also of interest to note that $300 has been given by the Pom- fret Red Cross organization for the sup- port of the dental clinic that will be es- tablished in the schools of that ‘own. What already has been dene in the way of giving atten™an to the teeth of the pupils in the lower grades of the Israel Putnam school has clearly established what a real need for undertaking the work that is now being so well organ- 1zed and supported.
