Anti-Saloon League of Connecticut was in Putnam all day Friday . checking up the city court records as to the number and disposition of cases of imtoxication. The only comment made was that the Put- nam court imposed heavier fies than the courts of most of the other citits in the ‘state. Letters received in Putnam from Miss Caroline Borhauer, a_former. teacher in the Putnam high school, now at her home in Germany, tell of the quantity of merchandise that can. be bought at her home city for one United States dol- lar. While prices are dear figured in German marks if one géts a dollar back- ed by the United States mint the me commodities appear very cheap to tl on this side of the water. The hook and ladder truck responded to a still alarm Saturday morning and extfiguished a chimney fire at a house on’ Smith street without damage result- ing, The wooden bailding formerly kmown as the St. Onge block, recently purchas- ed by the Putnam Savings bank, was sold at public auction at ten o'clock Saturday, morning by Carl Witter of Danielson, auctioneer. There were sev- eval bidders but the final bidding re- sulted in competition between _Jacob Wolf, a local junk dealer, and Lyther Keith, one of Putnam's selectmen. Mr. Keith was the purchaser and the price received was $725. The conditions of the sale were that the purchaser was to make a deposit of $100 at the time of sale and that a bill of sgle with permission to take down and remove the building. Wwas to be given on payment of the balance. It was a condition of the sale that the building is to be taken down or wreck- ed, and not removed as a whole, and if the condition is broken the property re- verts to the bdnk. The building must le removed by the first of February, or what remains reverts. The nly this reserved were the plate glass, windows in the Arcanum club, the partitions in the basement put in by the tenants and all shelving and all oth- er fixtures which belong to the several tenants which must be removed by Jaa- uary 15th. 2 Contracter Johm P. Sabin has come forward with .a- plan for a municipal skating rink which he says can be ac- complished with little or mo expense to 3 Last year the high school lot was flooded and the sides were bank- 'ed with dirt which cost 'quite. a sum. EASLES b. 1 built Mr. Sabin states that as the lot is necessary. If this be so, all that is necessary is for the city water depart- ‘ment - to flood the lot and now that it is covered with snow and frozen is an -exeellent -time to do it. While there has been more or less talk regarding the matter Mr. Sabin’ is. the first to take any action and through his efforts the plan is under consideration by the Put- nam Chamber of Commerce and the Parent-Teachers’ association. Mr. Sa- bin has offered to furnish whatever la- bor is necessary to flood the lot without charge and it would seem with the pros- pect of a skating pond without cost should mot be long in materializing. Willlsm P. Dutemple, principle of { Woodstock Academy, has resigned. Mr. Dutemple is to become southern repre- sentative of the Whitinsville Spinning Ring Company of Whitinsville, Mass. | The resignation is to take effect at the end of this month and has been accepted with regret by the board of trustees. Mr. Dutemple has been principal of the academy about a year and a half com- ing from the Essex High school, Essex, Mass. He has been active in Y. M. C. A., and Boy Scout work and last year served as leader at the “Y” camp at Black pond. Maurice Child, who came to the academy from Northbridge, Mass., to be an instructor, will succeed Mr. Dutemple: Mrs. Isabelle K. Tefft, newly elected matron of the Eastern Star lodge, has made the following appointments: Adah, Miss Mabel G. Perry; Ruth, Mrs. Mary Greene; Esther, Miss Elizabeth Dia- mond; Martha, Mrs. Lena Whipple; Electa, Mrs. Grace 1. Carver; chaplain, Mrs. Almira Perry; marshal, Mrs. So- phia_Metcalf; organist, Mrs. Emma G. Phillips; warden, Mrs. Alice Mansfield; sentinel, George W. Tefft. Odd_Fellows from Danielson and Central Village will join with members of Israel Putnam lodge of Putnam in welcoming Grand Master Charles R. Hathaway of South Manchester, who will with the grand secretary, make his an- noal visitation. At the close of the lodge a banquet will be served in Red Men's hall The Salvation Army Christmas ke tle appeared on Main street Saturday. The Army is arranging free Christmas dinners to the worthy poor of Putnam and Adjutant Whipple is secking dona- tions of vegetables, fruit and other edi- blea. There was a Christmas song Service at. the Methodist church Sunday even- ing illustrated with stereopticon vieks, the Whole being a story of Christmas in pictures and songs. A three stall round house is being by the N. Y., N. H & H rail- road on the west side of the tracksc just nmorth of the foundry. The build- ing is of wood comstruction with 40 teet frontage and 80 feet in the rear and ‘is 24 feet high. The building will contain a modern ash pit. There is a Y for the turning of engines as the old turn table was not adequate to turn the larrge modern locomotives. E. E. Ovi- a|att, aivistonal engineer is i charge of natural hollow that no side walls are|the work, which is being done by the H. Wales Lines Company. Twelve football players, the manager and coach have been awarded the cov- eted - letters by Principal Snow of the Putnam High school. Those who receiv- ed the coveted awards were: Carl Gels- sler, captain; Chandler Morse, Michael Maher, Willam McCoy, Andrew Dono- van, ‘Foswick Harrison, James Rice, Al- fred Bonneville, William Harris, Allan Thayer, Ellis Pritchard, Edward Arnold, Manager Edgar Lucler and Coach Chas; L. Southly. Harry Davis, assistant manager of this year's team, has been chosen as manager for mext year. During the recent smow sterm which left many streets coated in ice after a thaw that followed by a freeze there seemed to be children with sleds every- where. Out from under passing auto- mobiles they darted and an aduit walk- ing half a mile would find his heart in his mouth several times as he saw the imminent danger of the youngsters. Some good angel guards the children, but now and then either: loses his vig- ligence or gives up in despair and a maimed form is found lying in the road- way as the ambulance comes clanging to the scene. Although the police make an effort to keep the children off the traveled thoroughfares they are only partially successful. Parents should co- operate with the offtcers by telling their little ones of the danger just as they should tell them not to venture on thin ice. There have been no serious ac- cidents so far but it is not from lack of opportunity but only by good for- tune. After an absence of a year Santa {lause arrived in Putnam on schedule Saturday afternoon and will remain in town until Christmas even after filling stockings and decorating trees he will return to the frozen north as mysteri- ously as he came. But if Saturday aft- ernoon was anything to judge by he will have a busy week. From the time the jolly white-whiskered old fellow, dressed in a suit of dark red appear- ed on Main street he was followéd and accosted by hundreds of children whose smiling faces were a delight to see as tey shook him by-the hand and made known their wants. no bashfulness or reserve in evidence as the children from the time they couid understand words and expressions have been taught that the great Santa is the children’s friend. That the heads of families in the outlying sections had no peace until they promised to bring their youngsters to see St. Nick was apparent as automobiles and horse drawn vehi- cles came to town filled with faces smil- ing in _anticipation. Never has Put- nam's Main street taken on such an intense holiday atmosphere so early as it has this year and there will be no keeping the kiddies at home as long as they know that Santa Claus is in town.

After march- ing through the principal streets of the city the parade disbanded at Red Men's hall on’ Pomfret street. William er was marshal of the parade Frank Dumas acting as aid. Following the parade a dinner was served in the hall of the local tribe after which all of the chiefs held council in Odd Fellows' hall in the sam building. After the disposal of busi ness Arrow Head tribe degree team worked the chiefs degree on a class of candidates. The committee of arrange- ments consisted of Peter A. Gardner. John .F. Ferns, C. R. Cotton, Frank Cloutier and George Perry. A woman who gave the name of Mrs. Ethel Newton, age 26, and residence, Pomfret, this state, died at the City hospital, Worcester, Thursday night. It is believed in Putnam and Pomfret, where the woman formeriy iived, that she was Mrs. Ethel M. Newcomb, who with for some years worked as a domestic in Pomfret and later worked for a while at the Day Kimball hospital in Putna: On Friday Dr. Cassius Darling of Wo cester, who was born in East Killingly and who was a brother of the late Dr. Ashael Darling of Dayville, was arrested charged with performing an illegal op- eration. The woman was admitted to the Worcester institution Monday night and was thought to be suffering from pneumonia. After she died Medical Fx- aminer Frederick H. Baker was called and pronounced death due to blood pois- | oning following an operation and arrest of Dr. Darling followed. Mrs. Necomb was granted a decree of divorce in the Windham ocounty superior court a short time ago. Her maiden the iname was Ethel M. Hodlin and her hus- Palm Beach intemperance and intol- was alleged in the di- vorce petition., Mrs. Newcomb's fath- ef. mother and sister of Worcester® and an employe of the telephone company named Newton were the witnesses. A letter was sent to the court by the de- fendant in which it was intimated that Newton was attentive to Mrs. Newcomb and upon being questioned by the court Newton admitted that he took Mrs. New- comb places and had written letters to her while she was away. It is believed here that the woman gave Newton's name at the hospital and that possibly she had married him since she received her decree of divorce in Putnam. The woman first came to° this vicinity in March, 1919, according to thé allega- tion made in her petition for dicorve.
