Pren- tice Manufacturing company ' have purchased $2,100 worth of the Liberty Loan bonds Considering: the size of the plant, the employes have come well to the: front in ‘their display of patriotism. Of the $10,000 worth of Liberty Bonds subscribed to by the Berlin Savings bank over $7,000 worth has been taken to date. If the remainder is not taken before the day is over the banks of New Britain or other near- use. -Most of the citizens of the town have hought their bonds through ths banks of Ne wBritain or other near- by places, and for this reason there is no way of determining the real amount that the town has subscribed to. There is very little doubt but what the local townspeople have an- swered the call fully as well as any other placc its size in the state. Married 20 Years. Mr. and .

He picked up a carving knife and made a viclous lunge at his opponent's head missing his mark by a small margin. Other workmen - subdued him before he could do much dam- age, although he did succeed in in- flicting a slight gash with the weapon on one of them. During the exoitement which fol- lowed ‘he made his escape but was later captured in the home of a friend in Forestville. Ciritzo want- ed clemency on the grounds that he | toyed with the knife simply to fright- en the man. He disclaimed having any (ntention of using. it. - Justice Prior gave him a lecture on mometmouhqmmhm his associates and explained the pun- ishment possible for a court to im- pose in such cases. Subscriptions Reach $55,000. AppMcationg for bonds in the Lib- erty loan continued to come in to the Trust company this morning, al- though the time limit for subscrip- tions was set for $ast evening, and the committee in charge of the cam- paign in the interest of contributions announced that before night Plain- ville’s total would probably be in ex- ceas of $55,000. ‘The committee set out to raise $40,000 and the response made by the townspeople was far more gener- ous than the most sanguine member had eamticipated. Yesterday morning but $38,000 was on hand and the committee was cheerful because the indications were that an additional $2,000 would be sent in during the day. Employes of the bank were liter- ally swamped with work from the opening of the doors until the clos- ing hour, scores of people coming in to ‘take out subscriptions. = Most of the subscriptions taken were of de- nominations of from $50 to $600, al- though there were a few for $1,000. Plainville is not regarded as a very wealthy town. It has not as residents millionaires or others with fortunes who. could afford to sub- scribe in any very large amount. Consequently while there will be some towns of a population not larger than Plainville’s which will show up better in the 'list of subscribers, the committee feels satisfled that this place has done more than ite.share. ‘Allotment of bonds in the loan has been figured on a basis of 6 per cent. of the assets of the banks in & town. Consequently Plainville’s subscrip- tions should not be much over $30,- 000. The Liberty loan committee figures that the town has over-sub- scribed to the extent of more than $20,000, a showing that is entirely creditable to Plainville and its in- ‘habitants. Decorate Graves June 24. Sequassen lodge is making arrange- ments for the annual memorial exer- cises for its deceased members which will be held on Sunday, June 27. In former years the exercises were held earlier in tlie month, but as flowers are blossoming late this year ,the lodge decided to advance the date to the 27th. * The members will march from their hall to West cemetery where the me- morial program will be carried out. The speaker has nat as-yet been se- lected. Lecture on Food Coneervation. The first of a series of lectures on food conservation to be given to the ‘women of the town has been arranged for by the Plainville Canning club. It will be in the town hall on Monday, July 2. The speaker will be Mrs. Dean, selected by the Harfford County Food Conservation league as its in- ‘structor. Mrs. Dean is instructor in domestic science in the Hartford High school. . Plainville women are making vig- orous efforts to do their “bit” in the conduct of the war and during the summer they will conduct a lively campaign for kitchen economy and for the canning of fruits and vegetu- bles in the interests of the nation.

NG, SIR, THEY'RE SOLDIERS First Month of Officers Reserve Gorps Camps Ended ‘Washington, June 15.—For the 40,- 000 men of. the sixteen officers’ train- ing camps the present week marks the close of general preliminary training and the beginning of specialization. After Saturday they will no longer be rookies in the strictést sense of the ‘word. ‘The camps were opened May 15 and for the past four weeks all candidates except the engineers have pursued the same course in the fundamentals of military science. The second period begins Juhe 18 and is of eight weeks’ duration, coming to a close August 11, with the termination of the first: se- ries of camps. During the second pe- riod the students will be grouped by arms and pursue the corresponding course for each arm. For the term of the initial period the 2500 men in each camp were formed inte infantry regiments and have been drilling as infantry. Spe- cial instruction was given only to the engineer candidates. For the sec- ond period these students who are studying for appointment 4s infantry officers will continue to drill as infan- try and will receive instruction in the more advanced principles of infaptry work, but the cavalry, artillery and engineer candidates will be divided into appropriate groups for special in- struction. Most of the courses’outlined for in- fantry candidates are so important for cavalry officers, however, that to avoid a duplication of instruction cavalry students will attend mwany of the con- ferences scheduled for infantrymen. Artillery candidates will devote most of their time to drill and firing prac- tice. Engineers will receive special- ized instruggion in the theory and Ppractice of itary engineering, Inasmuch as mostiof the engineer candidates are qutllflea as civilian en- gineers but untrained as soldiers their courses have been arranged to enable them to become familiar with many phases of infantry work, not ordinari-| ly included in the scope of training for engineer troops but having important tearing on the tactical application of nilitary engineering. The last days of the camp, August 8 to 11, will be levoted to maneuvers in wkich all the arms will take part. Second Perod Curriculun_ For infantry the curriculum of the second period includes range practice with rifle and, pistol, physical drill, fleld work, and a series of conferences on military regulations, tactics, court- martial manual, hygiene; first aid and the like. - Much of the intensive training will be in bayonet fighting, use of machine guns and in trench warfare. Because the cavalry candidate must attend infantry conferences his work- ing day will be 45 minutes longer than that of the infantryman, the ex- tra time being needed to get in. cav- alry courses. But limited time is al- lowed for mounted work and-individ- ual riding by students off duty will be encournged by the camp instruct- ors. The cavalry candidate will be taught the grooming and care of ani- mals and equipment, and the driil of the mounted trooper, squad, pla- toon, troop and squadron. A two- nour conference will be held each Sat- urday on cavalry science and the probable employment of mounted troops in the war with Germany. Stable management, firing instruc- tion, battery drill, signalling, material instruction and corferences in grtil- lery science will’ muke up the studies of the candidate for an artfllery com- 'mission.
