EASY LOAN PAYMENTS OFFERED BY TRUST.COMPANY | Buyers of Liberty Bonds Need Pay But $1 Per Week if Desired Liberty loan subscriptions continued tc dribble in during Thursday, buf most of these came unsolicited and were not due to the force of campaig- ing 40 arouse interest. It was suggested Thursday that next Wednesday, designated by President Wilson as Liberty day, be made the occasion of a_concentrated drive in { the Danielson district to swell the Lib- | erty loan by many thpusands of dol- lars, This plan is being adopted in many towns in Connecticut and many towns and cities are going so far im their plans as to arrange for' suspending, at least for part of the day, all other business, that exercises may be held tending to enthuse the people for the | rrotection of democracy and to get jthem to back that enthusiasm in a substantial manner—by loaning their money to the government. What may be done in this district s not yet definitely planned, but it is hoped to arrange some system under | court Thursday morning. | which the subscriptions will flow in in a steady.stream. It was announced Thursday at the Danielson Trust company that sub- { scriptions may be made for bonds un- der an arrangement to pay as little thereon as $1 per week, and as much more, of course. as one desires. The bank will allow interest on the bonds from the time of purchase. In case a subscriber who has taken a bond on | 2 weekly payment plan finds it impossi- ble to continflue his or her arrange- ments to pay as agreed, the payments made will be refunded, less whatever «light cost is involved in handling the business. Under such an attractive offer there is little excuse for any person who can save one dollar a week from com- ing to the aid of the government iy loaning such a sum in an mvestment that is unsurpassed for security in the offerings of the world. TWO SPRINGFIELD RIFLES Placed at Disposal of Home Guard by Brockton Visitor. Through the courtesy of Capt. George Stone of Brockton, who is visiting here, the Danielson Home guard company has acquired two Springfleld rifles of regulation make and weight that are bored for the use of .22 calibre am- munition.

The rifles proved of special interest to the company members who attended the non-commissioned officers’ school at the armory Thursday evening. Cap- tain Armington said that team compe- tition for Indoor range work probably would be worked out under the direc- tion of Capt. A. P. Woodward, who has been appointed inspector of small arms practice. 3 New Liberty Bonds Arrive.
