ADDRESSED MEMBERS OF WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON CLUB, Elweli Tells Them of the Liberty Bond Campaign. The Wednesday Afternoon club met at the home of Miss Adelaide L. Butts yesterday. The subject for the afternoon was John Townsend Trowbridge, and the hostess read a paper on his lite and worl Of Mr. Trowbridge's stories publish- ed in the Atlantic Monthly, to which he was a regular contributor, the most important, Coupon Bonds, appeared in 1865. Bankers became interested in distributing this story and it is sald that it had an appreciable infiuence in stimulating confidence in the govern- ment and its securities. It was drama- tized and for a long time was much in demand by amateurs. The etory seemed so timely and its spirit eo patriotic that Miss Butts gave the following extract from it: “I should think you might get Ditson to renew the mortgage,” observed Neighbor Ferring. “He can't be hard on you, under such circumstances. And he ‘can’t -be so foolish as to want the money. There's no security iike real estate. If I had money to invest, 1 wouldn't put it into anything else. ‘Nor 1" said Mr. Ducklow; “nothing like real estate! ith an expression of profound conviction. “What do you think of gov'ment bonds?" asked Neighbor Jepworth. “T don’t know." Mr. Ducklow scratch- ed his cheek and wrinkled his brow with an expression of thoughtfulness and candor. “I haven't given much at- tention to the subject. It may be a patriotic duty to lénd to gov'ment, if one has the funds to spare.” 3 “Yos,” said Jepworth, ~warming. “When we consider that every dollar we lend to government goes to carry on the war, and put down this cursed Rebellion—" “And to pay off the soldiers,” put in Reuben, raising himself on his elbow. “Nobody knows the sufferings of sol- diers and soidiers’ families on account of the government's inability to pay them off. If that subject was felt and understood as some I know feel and understand it, I'm_sure every right- minded man with $50 to spare would make haste to lend it to Uncle Sam. I tell ye, I got a little excited on this subject, coming on in the cars, I heard a_gentieman complaining of the gov- ernment for not paying off its credit- ors; he didnt eay eo much about the soldlers, but he thought contractors ought fo have their claims eettled at once. At the same time he said he had had $20,000 lying idle for two months, not knowing what to do with it, but had finaly concluded to invest it in railroad stocks. ‘Have ye any govern- ment stock? said his friend. ‘Not a dollar's worth,’ sald he: ‘Tm afraid of it! Sick as I was. I couldn’t lie and hear that. ‘And do you know the rea- son’ said I, ‘why government cannot pay off its creditors® [l tell ye, said I " It’s because it hasn’t the money: and it hasn’t the money because such men as you, who have your thousands lying idle, refuse to lend to your coun- try, because you are afraid. That's the extent of your patriotiem: you are afrald! What do you think of us who have gone into the war and been will- ing to risk everything—not only our business and our property, but life and Iimb? T've ruined myse.f personally,’ sald T, ‘ost my property and my health, to be of service to my country. I don't regret it—though I shouid never recover. I shall never regret it Tm a_tolerably patient, philosophical sort of a feliow; but I haven’t patience nor philesophy’ emough to hear suc men as you abuse the government for not doing what it's your duty to assist it in doing.’ “Good for you, Reuben!” exclaimed Ducklow, who really felt ob'iged o ‘the young eoidier for placing the previous day's inves'ment in uch a strong patriotic light. “You wound him up, I guess. Fact, you state the 2se 80 well, Reuben, 1 beileve, if I had any funds to spare, I shoiidn’': hesitate a minute, but o right oft and invest in gov'ment bonds!” After the reading’ of the paper, Charles C. Elweil, Jr., spoke in an in- formal way on the iiberty bond, urging the necessity of investment and the patriotic duty invoived. Every patri- otic citizen should fael it his duty (o do | nd support the kovernment in this hour. In this crisis the very smallest subscriber counts as large as the most munificent given in the spirit which is engendered. Let us all put our shoulders to the wheel. | HAVE ATTRACTIVE FLAG DAY WINDOW DISPLAY. The Days When Norwich Had Popula- tion Greater Than Chicage. The Porteous & Mitchell has arranged, in observance of Flag day. a window display which is botn attractive and educational. The dis- play is made in the large window east of the main entrance to the store consists of a number of old maps, which In themselves are curiosities, and a display of the various flags of the nation, froin the time of the first landing in' America up to the present day. The maps, which are the prop- erty of Mrs. F. A. Rogers of M peag, include a census map of the “nited Srates made in 1247, and among other information it gives the popu- lation at that time of 150 of the prin- cipal cities and towns of the United tates. It is interesting to note th, Norwich is the 55th city in size in the country with a population of 7,264, ranking higher than Chicago, which has a population of only 4,470. Bridge- port and Waterbury, two of the leag company ing Connecticut cities ®oday, are not even mentioned among the 150 cities listed. Other maps shown include a pictorfai map of the United States, dated 1840, a map of the United States and Mexico, iesed in 1847, and an ornamental map of the United States made in 1850. But it is the avoiution of the flag as it is pictured in the display that will he most interesting at this time, when public attention centers in an ob- servance of the day set nside as a mark of respect to Old Glory. The history of the flag cove: a period dating as far back as 1497, when Se- bastian Cabot landed at Labrador and planted on North American soil the Red Cross flag of England, the ensign of King Henry the Seventh. The flag of England, our mother country, was our flag from the landing of the May- flower, 1620, until Juné 14, 1777. In 1606 Scotland was added to England, and the White Cross of St. Andrew was placed upon the national flag, changing the field from white to biue, by order of King James I, and was called Union or King’'s Colors. It was used in Massachusetts colony in 1634. In 1707 the color of the flag _was changed from blue to crimson, and the two crosses on a blue fleld were placed in the upper corner. This flag was called the Cromwell flag: The colonists used the King's Colors and when the Cromwe’l flag was adopted—1707—used it with modifications, as placing a pine tree on a white fleld in lieu of the crosses. This and the plain white flag with a pine tree were regarded as the flags of Massuchsetts colony for some time. In 1775 the Pine Tree flag was decided upon for our vessels. The southern states, or then colonies, from 1776 to 1777, used the Snake flag. X The first striped flag was raised at ‘Washington's headquarters, Cambridge, Mass., Jan. 2, 1776. It was called the Cambridse flag and known in England as the Ilious Stripes. Lieut. John Paul Jones hoisted this flag on his vessel, the Alfred, and said “The flag nd i | Eczema Caused Years of Intense Agony “I have suffered intense agony from Eczema on my leg and othér parts of my body for years, and nei;g only temporary relief from other prépara- tions.

One June 14, 1777, Betsy Ross made the first flag of _thirteen stars and thirteen stripes. Vermont was added to_the union in 1791 and Kentucky in 1793. In consequence two additional stars and stripes were added to the flag, making a flag of fitteen stars and fiftéen stripes. This was the flag of the war of 1812 and was kuown as The Star Spangled Banner. On April 4, 1818, a bill was passed by congress reducing the. number of stripes to thirteen and Increasing the number of stars to one for each state. In connection with the display of national flags there is shown the flag of Spain, three wide stripes, yellow between two red stripes, which floated over the Spanish possessions in Amer- ica from 1510 to 1819. Another em- blem noticed in the exhibit is the Connecticut state flag, which is some- thing of a noveity to the present gen- eration, as it is seldom displayed. A handsome framed picture of Woodrow Wilson, president of the United Statea, occupiés a central place in this patri- otic_exhibit and adds the finishing touch. The exhibit was arranged under the supervision of Daniel J. Hinchey, tie store display manager, the various flags displayed being the handiwork of Joseph Farrell, assistant display mapager and card writer. GRANGE SUBSCRIBES $100 TO LIBERTY LOAN.
