OANIELSON A still and more than a gross of bottles of Jamaica ginger have been seized in what is a constantly lengthening list of raids being conducted in the towns of ‘llingly by state and local ofticers who are after intoxicants and those who make them or sell them, At Goodyear State Officers A. W. Willlams and Merrill Keith and Deputy Sheriff Charles E. Ayer seized a still that seems to have been in operation at the time they descended upon the tene- ment house wherg the raid was conducted. The still was so hot when it came into possession of the officers that it could not be handled and the abode where it was found reeked with the smell of moon- shine. A Polish family known as Roberts— the officers were without 'the given name of the head of the family on Tues- day—bccupied the premises. The officers were 3 bit uncertain as to which of a long row of tenements they were to rald when they came into the neighbor- hood and as they were deciding a small crowd gathered. Some of the spectators assured the officers that the Roberts family lived in a certaln tenement while others said this was not the case Upon trying the door the officers found it locked and a key inserted from the in- side. This key was worked out with a pass key in the possession of the officers and the door unlocked. Mrs. Roberts blocked the door way as the officers en- tered, but she was set aside and the still seibed. The still had been emptied and it contents poured down the sink, but some of the fluld was recovered by open- Ing the trap under the sink. When the officers went to the mill where Roberts is employed as a night watch man they found that some of his friends had preceded them and tipped off—so Roberts was among the missing. His wife will be ordered into court. Another raid conducted Monday even- ing by the same group of officers was at the store of Henry Fournier, corner Dyer and Franklin street. Fournier pro- duced a quantity of Jamaica ginger and gave it to the officers, stating to them, they sid, that it was some that was left over from a previous occasion on which the place was ralded. Upon further search the officers found two other boxes, sach containing a half a gross of ginger. Mr. Fournier's appearance in court will se ordered for an early date. Wenders never cease!.

A representative gathering of Daniel_ son's professional and business life sat lown Tuesday evening at the annual anquet of Danielson’s chamber of com- t the Attawaugan hotel and en- d not only the fine turkey dinner ved by Landlord W. S Brown, but al- ro the address by Harry Richardson of Moosup—an address dealing with cham- ber of commerce work—but also the en- tertainment provided by William Reeves' group of professional character actors and the little social features that always marks a get-together event of this kind. Following the banquet the party ad- fjourned to the rooms of the Bohemfan “lub for a smoker and further entertain- ment by the Reeves company. There is a local interest in the following which is appearing in cattle publications throughout the county, and which is rel- ative to the dam of the great Hollywood bull that is the herd sire at W. S. Brown's Shepard Hill farm near Wauregan: Glen Alex Queen De Kol Dead. Hol- lywood Farms, Hollywood, Washington, bas lately sustained a great loss in the death of the world's champion senior two vear old Glen Alex Queen De Kol, 27433- £2. Her death occurred on March: 20, Glen Alex Queen De Kol's seven-day record of 43.25 Ibs. butter from 603.8 Ibs. milk has never been approached. Soon after making this record for A. C. owe of New Hartford, New York, sho was consigned ‘1o, the National Sale and ased by the late F. S. Stimson for At the time of her death, she carried an insurance of several thou- sand dollars. Glen Alex Queen Dg Kol eame by her butter producing abilXy honestly She was a full sister to Tietje Queen De Kol 2d, 629.2 Ibs. milk as a senior four-year-old. These two heifers undoubtedly inherited their rich butter producing qualities from their dam, Tletje Queen D Kol, that when nearly ten years old made a 7-day record of 43.16 Ibs. butter from 542.7 lbs. milk. She was the dam of four A. R. O. daugh- ters, all of which have records above 27 Ibs, and three of them above 30 Ibs. After Glen Alex Queen De Kol came to Hollywood Farm, her value as a breeder was considered too great to allow her to be forced for further high records. However, she was tested at each fresh_ ening, and without any effort on her part, she made as a three year old 33 lbs. but- ter, as a four-year-old 28 Ibs, and as a five-year-old 31 lbs iIn 7 days. At the age of five years, she had made four of- fléfal records, averaging nearly 34 lbs. 'n 7 daye. Two of her daughters are now swned by Hollywood Farms. Both are voung and are splendid prospects for high preduction. Of her two sons, one was wid to W. 8. Brown of Central Village, Conn., and the other to D. C. Erickson of Scappoose, Oregon. It was stated here Tuesday that re- sponse is being made by a number of local stockholders of the Connecticut Mlils company . to the suggestion of the wockholders’ committee that stock shares be deposited with this committee as an tid to the committee in carrying out the refinancing plan that s now so urgent. Tust what the committee is to do with the stock turned in for deposit is not clear © many minds here just yet.

At Oxford the citizens will entertain the soldiers at a dance. From Oxford the soldiers go to West Boylston and Leominster, before makinz Camp Dev- ens Saturday. While. there is no justification for in- dicting an entire body of men for what some of its members may be respon- sible for, Uncle Sam’s soldiers, in some instances, did things in Putnam that have not left a pleasant remembrance in the minds of some citizens. Just what is meant may be illustrated by citing the fact that two of the sol- diers went to a local-home long after dark Monday night. One of them rang and hen his call was answered asked to se¢ the man of the house, a woman having come to the door, After some parleying | the soldier let it be known in a veiled way what his mission was and he was promptly told to begone with his com- panion, who lurked out in the shafiows. The inquirer spoke with the accent of a foreigner, X This may have been an isolated case and perhaps an extreme instance of what the soldiers did while here, but it has left a bad impression, along with other little incidents of the visit of the command, Joseph Cayer, 13, a Putnam bey whose home is in Lee street, this city, and who was committed last week to the state school for boys at Meriden, is back at the institution again after a runaway trip that ended in Bloomfleld, this state.

Dismounting from the truck and leav- Ing it he was wandering about Bloom- field when he was picked up by a deputy herift and questloned as to his identity and as to where he was going. He gave his name and address and informed the oomfield officer that he was a per- conal friend of Captain Remi Delage of this eity. This information brought t a telephone conversation between the Bloomfield officer and Captin De- lage and, eventually, Cayer’s return to Meriden, where; in all probability, his chances of another escape will not be great for some tima to come. Alderman Alred J. Pigeon will be president of the day when Putnam ob- scrves Memorial day Tuesday next. Ma- jor A. D. McIntyre, the only Putnam man who was an officer in two wars— the Spanish-American and World. wars —will be marshal of the day. The speaker of the day will be Rev. Fr. Charles Casey of Hartford, an army chaplain during the World war and 2 friend of Rev. Anselm Mavotte, the ar- my chaplain for whom the local post of the American legion is named and who gave his life to his country during the World war. The exercises will be morning. A procession will be formed ‘n Tnion square and will proceed to the soldfers’ monument in Grove street, where services in memory of the un- known dead will be conducted by mem- hers of George W.

The-procession will then move to the high school grounds, where a speakers' stand will have been erected ' held In the ing past the Killingly town farm grading has been done at the north end of the job and a stone crusher that is at work has provided considerable prepared stone which already has been spread over the road surface for a short distance. Old stone walls that line the route of the highway being Improved are being fed into the crusher. It continues to be & source of regret to the County Y. M. C. A. organization that Danlelson up to the present time has not shown so much interest and ac- tivity in this work as is desired, though there is hope of creating such an interest Nothing partcularly new relative to the shooting affair at Mocsup Saturday night has developed. The circumstances leading up to the affair seem to be much as has been told. The injured all were reported on Tuesday as recovering. Spalding is held at Brooklyn jail in de- fault of bords of $10,000, and it was saig that there Is little prospect that he will be able to raise the amount and that he likely will have to remain in jail until his case is called in the superior court in October. Preparations are being made by the state highway department for olling state highways in this vieinity. The roads are being scraped and sand distributed along the routes for covering over the oll as jsoon as it is put down. Memorial day will be observed here in accordance with the time honored - cus- tom. There will be a procession in the afternoon, exercises at the two hall and decoration of the soldiers’ graves. Frank A. Linscomb of Providence was a visitor with friends in Danielson Tues- day. % Just before 8 o'clock Tuesday morning the fire department was called out for a chimney fire at the Bernier house on Reynolds street. As to the trees in Reynolds street that it was proposed should be cut down In order that the highway be made more room, it is held now that the matter is in the hands of the state highway de- partment and that the department will declde about the trees. This is planting week in Danielson, scores and scores of gardeners being busy late afternoon and evenings.

Tuesday morning, in front of the store of David Flagg, a Rhode Island Ford touring car driven by an elderly man hanged into the parked touring car of Fred Converse of Putnam Heights. Fail- ure of the foot brake on the Rhode Isi- and car to work was responsible for the crash, The damage was “exceedingly slight, the chief loss being a broken lens on the Rhode Island car and a dent in the number plate on the Converse car. Mr. Converse adjusted the matter on the spot by fixing $5 as the sum total of the damage to his machine. which the Rhode Island driver reluctantly paid. Another little crash In which a light touring car driven by J. H. Parsely of Cleveland, O., wrecked a wheel on a horse-drawn vehicle owned by Oscar Dugas attracted the attention of the volice. The accident happened near the Little Dam tavern on the Chepachet pike, the car hitting the team while the horse was being turned around. Cap- tain Remi Delage was summoned to where the accident happened. An ad- justment satisfactory to the principals was arrived at when Mr. Parsely ten- Aered a $10 bill in payment for the dam- age done the Dugas vehicle, Secretary J. FI. Corbett of the Wind- ham county Y. M. C.

Fairfield county won the cham- pionship with 45 points, Hartford coun- ty being second with 42 points and Titchfield county third with 40 points. Elliott Dean of this city scored for Vindham county when he finished sec- ond in the running high jumping contest, this in Class €. Donald Rook of this city was third ‘in the running high jump. The Windham county team was scored as third in the tug of war tournament. In the guoit pitching tournament Wind- ham county finished in first place—a two-man team made up of Alfred Bar- ber of this city and John Lane of Brook- lyn winning the honors. This week Saturday at Camp Wood- stock there is to be a meeting of the camp committee, five men to be present from each of the three counties that are to_have hoys in the camp this summer —Hartford, Tqlland and Windham. The fifteen men will spend the entire day at the camp. Camp equipment {s being collected and the work of getting the camp in readiness for occupancy early in July hurried alonz. Captain Delage of the police depart- ment had a surprise for Putnamites when they ecame into the business sec- tion Tuesday morning. With other members of the department he had worked all night until 4 a. m, painting the white marks on pavements to make outlined gtalls for parked automobiles. The pedestrian Janes also have been re- painted. More stalls are to be painted before the work now under way is com- Dleted. Tuesday morning at St. Mary's church Rev. V.

The blg crganization is now on the see- ond week of its tour, which was started in New York city a week ago. The out- fit, which carries with it about 500 peo- ple, a large number of animals and an array of complete and modern equip- ment came to this city from Lebanon, where two performances were staged on Saturday. Two trains consisting of 35 cars, were used to carry the personnel and equip- ment from Lebanon to this city, the trip being made “over the Reading raiiroad. ‘Three lively elrcus bands and a pair of steam caliopes announced the approach of ‘the .colorful pageant long before it was to be seen. 5 An unusual sight witnessed by those who lined- the - streets for the parade was that of a little dog riding in a heav- ily barred den with a huge Nubian lion. The dog did not seem to stand in the least awe of his gigantic cage mate, the two apparently being very best of friends.

The breezy cowboy saunters from one tarill to another in his inimitably affa- ble manner.

Sure Fire is the fighting drama of & man wko makes good. vagabond cow- puncher, who shows his worth for some- thing more than riding the range.

Elizabeth Porter Putnam Chapter, Daughters of the American Revolution, is twenty-five years old. Tuesday saw a special observance of the chapter's silver anniversary and a visitation from women of highest rank in the nat'onal organization. The prominent guests were met at the railroad station and entertained until the luncheon hour at half past one o'clock, preceding which there was a reception, The celebration was held in Odd Fel- lows’ hall. At the south end of the hall was the only long table. At this were seated the chapter regent, Mrs. Mary B. Bishop, who acted as toastmistress, and the speakers. About the hall were many smaller tables. The rocom was beau- tifully = decorated with flowers and plants, ferns and palms. Attractive place cards with small American flags, were used. The luncheon was served by a caterer from Providence. Music was furnished by a local orchestra of four pieces, The regent welcomed the gmests and briefly told of the organization of t chapter a quarter of a century ago. She then presented the speakers. Mrs. George Maynard Minor of Waterford, president-general of the national socle- ty, spoke most interestingly on The Nationa] Society. Mrs, Minor was fol- lowed by Mrs. Charles Bissell of South- inglon, state regent, whose address was on The State. Mrs. John L. Buell of Litchfield, former state regent, toox for her subject. OQur Possibilities. Mrs. Buell is the newly elected vice president- general of the National Society. Mrs. Sara T. Kinney, who was to have spok- €n on Birthdays, was unable to be pres- ent and an interesting letter from her was read. Mrs. J, B. Ken of ths local chapter, read an original poem on The Charter Roll, alluding In turn to each of the charter members. It was nearly five o'clock when the twenty-fifth anni- versary observance was over. Elizabeth Porter Putnam Chapter, since its organization a quarter of a century ago, has taken a prominent place among the eity’s organizations, It has done much to improve and preserve the historic spots in eastern Windham county, notably the historic Wolf Den, where General Putnam, the legend tells, shot the wolf that was destroying the farmers’ gheep. The chapter was prom- inent during the war in varied activities and has been generous in its donations to all sorts of philanthrophies and public causes. It has promoted interest In historical subjects among school chil- dren by offering prizes for essays and declamations on historic events. It takes care of the graves of Revolution- ary soldlers in all the surrounding cem- eteries and is at present to redecorate these graves with new American flags on Memorial day. To relate all the work that the chapter is doing would be to chronicle a list of public movements for the betterment of this section of the state.
