Sergeant Putnam ~ s Descendant ef Gen. Israel Putnam of Amer-

ican Revolution.

Sergeant Wi l l i am C. Pu tnam of Co. C, 125th I n f a n t r y , has been mentioned fc r ga l l an t ry by l~{ajor General Win. G. H a a s and Major Augus tus Cans- ser.

~ h i l e the thirty-second division was at Alsace, Sergeant Putnam led Ms charge into a f r o n t line enemy trench" where only one of Ms men was killed bu t several others beside h imse l f were wounded and is now being cared for at the bat tal ion infirmary, as he did not wan t to leave his company to receive t r ea tmen t at the hospital.

Sergeant P u t n a m led his men ~ "clean up" first part" of' enemy t rench and in support position, pro- to t t ing flanks against counter-at- Lack,. etc. While he ,,~¢~..~ s~ re:- gaged he was hit by a~ enemy sh--.lt, apparent ly containing phosphores- cen t s or " l iquid f i re . " Al though t~r- ribly bur~ed about the head, should- ers and hands, Serge.-.nt Pfftnam helped br ing back others wounded and suffering-, wi th "Shell shock." He then walked 1,880 me t re s to the hospital, then to ba t ta l ion headquar ters , where he was among- the first to br ing a def- inite repor t of the e v e n t s of the raid. Sergeant P u t n a m begged to remain with his company and is now receiving t reatmen~ a t bat t ta l ion infirmary. He also has inevitable barbed wire hurts , as did aI1 the others ~n the company.

Sergean t P u t n a m was fo rmer ly a Tusdola county boy, his pa ren t s re- siding in moi l s tin, reship nea r Caro and is a descendent of General Israel Putnam of t he Americau revolutio~ and seems to possess the same fight- ins qualities. He went overseas about a year ago. Before the war he was witA General Persbin::; i~ Mexico.-- Bay City Times-Tribune.

MA E OWN USE

Wets Are Trying to Deceive in Re- ga rd to A p p l e

Juice. ,

Don't scare the f a rmer ; or ra ther , scare him if you think you can, but da not deceive him. In their efforts to popularize the saloon amendment with farmers , the wets are wrin~in~ changes on cider. One s t a tement says that the p resen t law prohibits the manufac ture and sale of cider, and that the new amendment wilI permit it. From the beginning of the present campaign, the Oracle of the Michigan Hotel Man affirm, with a s t range s y m p a t h y for the poor farmer, tha t he cannot make cider from his own apples wid :ou t d a n g e r of prosecution u n d e r the present prohib- i tory law. This is gross ly incorrect.

See. IX of Ac t 338, Public Acts of !917, says: " T h e provisions of this act shMl not be construed to prevent the manufac tu re of cider f rom frui ts for the purpose of making vinegar, and non-intoxicat ing cider ad f r u k juices for use and sale." Comment- ing on this ac t and the misleading statements of the wets in reference to cider. Fred L. Woodworth, who i~ responsible fo r the enforcement of prohibit%n, stays, "No f a r m e r who extracts the juice f rom his apples for the purpose of mak ing cider and vinegar will be in danger of prosecution unless it can be proven tha t he sells, uses as a beverage or ~'ives away, the eider when it ham an alcohol content."

The f a r m e r may manufac tu re as much cider, as he likes and may use it. for apple bu t te r , jelly, vinegar , etc., or for any purpose so long as he does not sell, give away or fur- n~sh fermented eider for beverage purposes. Prohibit ion works no harm among f a rmer s but. rather helps thor~ by creat ing a wider marke t for t.hei, ~ products, and in other ways. For t]9..~ reason The F a r m e r s ' Union of Ks:-- gas have just addressed a strong" p~- tit;on to Pres ident Wilson urzin~," him to push for national prohibition.

FOURTH LIBERTY LOAN.

The campaign for the Four th Lib- er ty Loan will begin September 28 and close October 19. The result of the loan will be watched with keen interest in Europe, not only by our ~a~socil~s inl the wa~ ag:ainst the Teutonic powers but by our enemies. I t will be regarded by them as a measure of the American people's support of the war.

The Germans know full welt the t remendous weight and significance of popular support of the war, of q people at home backing up the Army in the field. As the loan succeeds our enemies will sorrow; as it falls shgrt they will rejoice,. Every dollar subscribed will help and encourage the American soldiers end hur t and de- press the enemies of America.

The loan will be the test of the loyalty and willingness of the people of the United States to make sacri- fices compared with the wil!ingness of our soldiers to do their part. There must be and will be no failure by the ocople t0 measure up to the courage :'~d devotion of our men in Europe. 5'!any of them have given up their

SOLDIER BOYS' LETTERS [

2nd Bri. Co. E 23rd Engrs. , American E. F., France.

July 12, 1917. Mrs. Isabetle McR~e, Dear Madam:

Am aware tl~at you ha~e nevhr even heard of me, but nevertheless am taking the l iberty of writing to You. Yesterday we received a tele- g ram not i fying us of the sad death of your so~i, Donald, at Marcy where I was stationed until recently. Donald lived in the tent next to mine while we were at Wash}ngton Barracks. We were good fr iends there and remained so on our voyage and since "over here."

You will no doubt receive many official documents f rom the authori t ies etc., but think you will appreciate hear ing f rom a simple private and a friend of Donald's tha t he was a con- scientious, good soldier in the states; a hard worker over here, and he cer- t a in ly did his "bit."

This is a high class company of a hig:h class Regiment composed of su- perior men, and your Donald was con- sidered as among" the best of us. He was a very popular man, and every man here grieves over his death and sympathizes with you in your g rea t sorrow.

Very sincerely yours, I-%~c. W i n ~ r i g h t Benham.

To Mrs] C. McRae, Jr.

Aix Lea Rains, France. Ju ly 14, 1913.

Dear Friends: I witI now telt you as near as I can

how Donald died. He was working with 16 other men

up the track about 30 miles for a long ~ime ana was called back the nigh~ of the 10th to our camp and I did not meet him as I did not know of his being in the 23rd Eng., but they eat at our mess hall and sleep in one of the barracks. On the morning of the llth they went for a bath and swim, four of them. Donald was swimming in about eight feet of water. When he went down he. did not say anything and never tried to struggle a bit. He never came up and as the water is dirty it took 40 minutes to find him. My 1s t Lieut. Jins Co. B., 16 Reg Ry Eng. found him. They worked for four

hours as hard as they could and then I As the drill schedule is cancelled gave up. I for the afternoon, I wi!l spend ~he

They never had any hope as there t ime wri t ing a few Iet ters to the was every th ing to show tha t he was folks back a t Etmwood. I suppose dead when he went down and tha t he you are celebrating back there today. never drowned at all. I think tha t in We had a field meet this forenoon, the report they send you they will b.ad all sorts of races, etc., and I am give some other cause beside drown- ins, as he took in no water and never s t ruggled a t all. Every one of the

i boys who have worked with him liked [him very much and they were very I sorry to lose him. I think they will i all write and tell how fel~ you they for him and how they hated to see him go. He had lived a good clean life here and you may be very proud of your son as no one here could have done more than he to win the war. He gave up his l ife if it was more than 100 m'iles f rom the line and tha t is all any of us can do.

I am on my leave now and this is a lovely place. This is a big day in France, the same as our own 4th ef July. There is a big crowd of men here. Lots of them have been hit and are here res t ing and a lot more like

The country he):e is beaut iful I t is a whole lot be t ter than I imagined it was and judgqng by the looks of crops it dcesn' t took as if the French people would starve for years to come.

Sta te of" Michigan May Fail to Make I ts Quota if Bet ter Work I s

Not Done.

! E: W; Jones, distr ict manager in i the sale of War Savings and Thrif t Stamps, is very anxious that this communi ty make a splendid showing. in the purchase of these valuaMe se- curit ies and urges redoubled effort on the par t of all who have the s tamps for sale to assist in making as good showin~ as possible in the closing. months of this campaig-:L. Mbhigan is behind in its quota in War Stamps and it needs strenuous effort~ on the part of all to make the state 1each its goal before the year ends.

Lewis L. Smart, director of sales for Michigan, has issued the follow- ins" cal! to the authorized T r e a s u r y Dept. Agents in Michia~an:

Officials of the Treasury Depart- ment at Washington s ta te that }from results now reported, t h e y fear Mich' is'an will be one of 13 s tates to fail to make its quota in War Savings Stamps. If on December 31, 1918, this proves to be true, i t will be a disgrace to our state.

"Michigan boys are in the thick of the f ighting 'over there ' r i g h t at this moment , g iv ing- the i r all, if need be, to wres t victory f rom the Hun.

"Our own 85th Division has left Camp Custer for the bat t le line, carrying- wi th them our hopes and our prayers .

"Are we going to leave them in the lurch ? Are we going to lie down and 'quit cold? ' Is Michigan going to deser t her sons in the face of a for- eign foe ?

"Let each one of us answer for h i m s e l f , ~ ' A m I doing all I can? '

1 "Are you buying all the War Sav- ings Stamps you can ?* Are you real ly mak ing a sacrifice to do so?

"Are you pushin~ the sMe of War Stamps to the best of your abi l i ty? "Will you do all you can to heIp ~¢Iiehigan back up her boys by taking" her full quota o f $70,000,000.00 •in War Savings Stamps."

DUTY CALLS CON- GRESSMAN CRAMTON

TO BATTLE FRONT

Congressman Cramton is on the Western battle front, at his own ex- pense, where he has been under fire several t imes in his investigations of conditions. He has act ively worked and voted for legislation to .care for our boys in the mi l i ta ry service and wi l l be excellently prepared upon his re tu rn to advocate and work for their in teres ts in Congress.

He is not here to defend himself agains t attacI~s of opponents, b u t his const i tuents may rest assured tha t he is not a pacifist; tha t he is an earnest advocate of a vigorous prosecution of the war to victory and tha t he has a!-. ways been very careful not to abuse the franking" privilege, by paying pos- t age upon aII of his political and personal correspondence and never sending any mat t e r free through the mails excepting that of a pubtie nature.

Anonymous statements, misIeading campaign propaganda, and eleventh hour exaggera t ions should not swmwe the voters of this district agains t a man who is not on the gTound %o re- fute the same, but who is now and was always, devoted to the i r inter- ests.

u P from Fisk University, Nashville, come the Fisk University Jubi!eO Singers, the greates t in terpreters of the jubilee songs of the Southlan4 n o w doing platform work. Records of their songs are in thousands oI~

homes throughout America. Now the opportunity is presented to hear t h o s e ta lented artists in person .

It is a rare good fortune which makes them available for the Chautauqt~t on the closing day and their coming assures one of the finest programs whieh~ I the Chautauqua affords. The songs of the Southern negro, correctly intor~! p r e t e d by those who know the spirit of them and their rhythm, and harmony~! have a heart appeal which maintains them ata high point of popularity.

LAID TO REST.

Wilson Benjamin Westerby •was bor~ in Fenton, Genessee county, Mich., Feb. 28, 1838. On March 4, 1863, he was united in ma~ ' iage with A m a n d a M. Darling. They went to make thei r home in Groveland, Oak- land county. Here two ,sons were born to them. The older son preceded his fa the r ~ in death 26 years ago and the other resides in Kingston, Michigan.

In 1880, Mr. Wes te rby with his f a m i l y m o ~ e d to Elldand township Since 1897 he has made his home i~ Wilmot. For 52 years he has lived a devoted Christ ian life. He kas been a member of the Baptist church of Kingston for many years.

Mr. Westerby has been i n poor heal th for about four years and for near ly a year he has been eo~fined t0

i the house but only four weeks to his bed. All tha t pat ient hands and lov- i n g hea r t s could do was done to no avail. Death came as a welcome re- lief f rom his terr ible suffering on Wednesday, August 7. He leaves to mourn the depar ture of a kind and loving husband and fa ther , his wife and one son, Frank, one adopted daughter , Mrs. Win. S. Dodge, 15 grandchi ldren and one g rea t grand-. child, besides a host of frienrls. F r i ends from Clyde, Mich., Flint, Col- ling, and Ohio were in at tendance at the funera l which was held in the Wilmot M. E. church Friday, August 9, at 10:30 o'clock, Rev. Austin offi- ciat ing. The r e m a i n s were laid to rest in the family lot in Elkland cemetery .

T H E AMERICAN WAR AIM.

(Westmins ter , En~., Gazet te ) . T h i s t ime last year it was still in

doubt whether , with all its zeal and resources, America might n o t be doomed to the helpless watching of a s t ruggle in which she could exert no powerful influence. Today tha t is no longer in doubt and a million Amer icans are here to tell us tha t a new and, as we believe, decisive fac- tor has entered into the European s t rugg le and into the politic~ of the w o r l d . We need to keep, both these aspects of Amer ican intervention in

mind . America, we are confident, will m a k e war as powerful ly and ~kilfu]ly, when she has got into her stride, as any of the nations now at war, .but

wad=fare tha t a nation should pledge the whole of i ts resources and send its men by the million across thousands of miles of sea for a purpose which the chief of its st-.tes declares to be "absolutely dis interested", t o be a world purpose and not a nat ional purpose. There a r e cynics who say tha t the th ing cannot be believed of so shrewd and businesslike a people as the Americans, and who therefore cast about for all manner of indirect commercial o r economic motives~ They are profoundly mistahen, as those who have recent ly visited America wilt tell us. It is these ideal war-aims and no others tha t are kindling the American people in the west and middle west as well as the east, and rousing them to. unheard-of efforts and enthusiasm. A n d it is the American impulse, we believe which will best help Europe throu~'h the last stage of tMs strug'g!e and enaMe us to turn it finally to account for ~he. good of the world,
