Large bulletins urging the people to subscribe are ! displayed on the porch of his resi- dence and two layge flags are flying in front ef the /house. Rev.

Mr. Fiske gave the subscription figures a substantial boost by selling bonds for a total of $1,600. delivered Scouts Also Busy. As the campaign is drawing to a close, special efforts are being made by the local Scouts to sell ten bonds each and secure a medal as a reward. A number of the Scouts are reported to have already disposed of the re- quired -number. The amount raised ; by the boys could not be learned to- day as all returns have not yet been made to Rev. Mr. Fiske. Mrs. Dcan Meets Women. Mrs. J. M. Dean of the Hartford County league on the Conservation of Food met the local women’'s commit- tees at the home of Mrs. Charles M. Jarvis on Worthington Ridge. In spite of the inclement weather there was a large number of women present. Plans for carrying on the work during the winter months were out-' lined by Mrs. Dean, after which a dis- cussion of the work accomplished | during the summer months was held. Food Campaign Next Week. The pledge card campaign for the Francis J. Reynolds, has been placed on the shelves of the Berlin Free Li- brary. Mr. Bulkeley is the president of the Library association and has on numerous occasions donated sets of books to the institute, ‘Woods Case Tomorrow. The adjourned case of Harold Woods of Kensington, charged with reckless driving will be tried before Judge George G. Griswold in the town court tomorrow morning at 9 o’clock. ‘Woods jg accused of driving a motor- cycle on the Beach Swamp road last Saturday in a reckless manner result- ing in the death of Adolph Walentin with whom he collided.

The meeting was called to order by Lester joyes are sald to be responding liber- ly for bonds.

John A. Moore was chosen on the men's committee. The welcome to be given the boys who return home for the week-end will be of a Tousing nature.

SALE OF BONDS REACHES $150,000 |$16,000 Hore Needed to Gomplet Maximum Allotment PROSPECTS ARE GO0O0D Few Slackers, it is Said, Are Unwill- ing to Subscribe—Work on Road elayecd By Rains—“Honor Roll" of i Enlisted Men is Thought Completed. With but two days remaining be- fore the campaign to float the second issue of the Liberty Loan must be brought to a close officers and mem- bers of the general committee and citizens of the town are striving to complete the maximum allotment of $165,000 designated to the town of Plainville. This morning the im- provised clock on Central Square pointed to the fact that $150,000 has already been subscribed and only $15,000 more is needed to insure a ranking of the town among the fore- most cities and towns in New England and in fact throughout the United Btates. With prospects of selling several thousand dollars worth of Liberty Bonds within the next few days there seems to be not the slightest doubt in the minds of those who have offered their time and their best efforts to make the project a success that Plainville will enter the first line trenches of democracy by completing the entire allotment. If the town is successful in com- pleting its maximum allotment it is expected that it will be through the efforts of the smaller subscribers. Complete returns from every factory in town have been made although it is possible that a few of the employes may consider it advisable to buy ad- ditional bonds. The house to house canvass has been completed but efforts will be made to reach those who were undecided whether to buy bonds when the rounds were first made. As vet there are several churches to be heard from and according to re- ports one of the parishes has in the neighborhood of $2,000 to add to the subscription list. As in other towns there seem to be a few slackers here who are unwilling to invest or rather to lend their money to the government by subscribing to the loan. These men, it is said, for the most part are fairly well to do but hate to give up the higher rate of per cent. which their money now earns through buying up mortgages etc. Tn view of the fact that Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo has intimated that unless the second Liber Loan is floated a tax will be placed upon the money of the country, it is probable that stress might be placed on those who are unwilling to do their bit by subscribing to the Loan. Work on Road Again Delayed. Work on the Bristol-Plainville highway was again delayed this morn- ing on account of the intermittent rains which made it impossible to carry on construction. That Jupe Pluvius seems to have a grudge against the Connecticut and Rhode Island company is self evident. Dur- ing the past two weeks the workmen have had to lay off on account of the inclement weather. A few days ago contractors in charge of the work stated that they thought the road would be finished by November 1 or shortly before. Be- cause of the many difficulties the workers have encountered of late aug- | mented efforts will have to be made if the highway is finished by the first of the month. Today's rain storm will set the men back at least two or three days as the cement foundation has to stand at least a day before the top covering of amiesite can be laid. The amiesite will not stick to the cement if the latter is wet. At present the amiesite has been The Hartford Silk Store C.S.

However, if there are any who have sons or kinsmen in any branch of the military and have not announced their names they should do so bofore Monday at which time it is probable that the list will be placed before the public.
