Putnam is going to hang up the splendid record of meeting its unus- uaily heavy minimura_allotment of subscriptions to the Liberty loan— $411,000. . This fact was assured Thursday af- ternoon, when returns compiled at the First National bank showed that the total of subscriptions tabulated was over $375,000, and all the subscriptions had not been tabulated at the time this report was given out, 5.30 p. m., the bank’s force then being- engaged in counting for the final total The surprising manner in which the subscriptions' have come in during the past three days shows that the loyalty of the townspeople that make up the Putnam financial district can- not be questioned, and that they are back of the government in their full strength. Today is going to be mark- ed by the reaching of at least $411,.- 000 in subscriptions; and then the drive; will. continue 'with intensified force to boost the figures onward to- ward the half million mark. Already the people of this district $€,400; _Jacobs Manufacturing com- pany, $5,000; American Woolen: com- pany, Moosup, $4.200: Plainfleld Wool- en company, $4,100; Attawaugan com- pany, $5000; Killingly Worsted com- pany, $3,350; Central Worsted com- pany, $2,600; Goodyear Cotton compa- ny, Inc., $2,000. >These figures Will very probably show a substantial increase in today’'s reports. No figures were -available from the Connecticut Mills Thursday. because the canvass had Jjust been started theére, but the employes of this concern made a splendid showing in the June campaign an dmay be ex- pected to register a liberal amount of subscriptions before tomorrow night. The supremé test as to whether this district will be on the honor roll with nearly all New England committees in meeting Liberty loan allotments must be met before the close of business Saturday night. Any person who can save as little as ore dollar a week has no excuse for not buying a bond—the best investment that the world has known. The person who can do this and does not do it must be rated a ‘slacker and at least a pascive friend of.Germany. That all may have a chance to sub- scribe, the banks here will be open this evening and Saturday evening. SALES OF FINE CATTLE. E. H. Crandall of Brooklyn Buys Thoroughbred Stock for Breeding Purposes. < : In connection with the heavy sales of cattle that have been conducted this week by J. Carl Witter at the John A. Baton farms at Wauregan and the George Kimball farm in the town of Brooklyn, grad=and thoroughbred ani- mals bringing from $100 to $325 each, one buyer, E. H. Crandall, who re- cently came to the Sam Harris farm, in Brooklyn, made some purchases of thoroughbreds with the plan in mind of using them for breeding purposes as a part of a campaign to raise the standard of herds in this part of the county and thereby produce cows that will show greater returns to those who own them and incidentally increase the supply of milk, a matter that is re< ceiving attention throughout New England, in view of the rapldly in- creasing price asked for the commod- ity. This plan is also in line with the propaganda of the Windham County Farmers' association. £ Mr. Crandall secured ‘some of the finest cows that have been sold in this county In a long time and will use them to° promote the breeding of thoroughbreds. ¥ Shea @ Burkie 37-47 Main Street, Norwich ol { A Glenwood Range Sells For Less Today , than any piece of household furniture when measured by the ac- tual saving and comfort it brings to the home.

Murphy in the June campaign and the present eampaign have subscribed for appra imately $700,000 worth of Liber:y bonds, and they’ll make it a million on the next call. Men, women and_children, the rich and the poor, are jisted in the honcr roll of bond buyers in this district. Many women have bought liberally of the bonds and there are the names of many young people in the bond buying class. In the mills during the past 48 hours many subscriptions for the bonds have been procured from the workers, em- ployes of the Manhasset company be- ing credited with puzchases amount- ing to over $10,000. This is the spirit that means vie- tory and points to Germany's doom. They’re backing! the bos in _the trenches, are the people of the Pu‘- nam district, and the spirit that i being shown here ranks with the best that is being manifested in New En- gland. Novel Cards From France. From France, lccal men who are in an ensineers’ regiment have rem-m- bered some of their fellow tworkers here with souvenir postcards of a novel type.

The price of motion picture enter- tainments in this city is golng to be advanced next week. and with the coming of November 1 the shows that have been costing patrons ten cents will be advanced to 15 cents. This advance in prices is due to the war tax that has beer placed on the mo- tion picture business by the national government as a means of raising war revenue. The 15 cent prices applies to eve- ning entertainments here and to t¥ orchestra circle only. Balcony seats are to remain at the old price, plus the war tax, which will bring them up to_eleven cents. Those who can see the show the afternoon will be let down easy, however, for the only add cost to them will be the war ta cne cent. Manager D. A. Smith n of the Bradiey theatre said Thursday af- ternoon that there will be one c pensation for the public. Here: all special productions will be shown without advance in price.

The refusal of esentatives of Morris Hillquit, so- t candidate for mayor, to give nces that he would not talk in opposition to the war was the reason why Major General J. Franklin B commanding Camp Upton, declined to aliow the socialist candidate to od- dress the soldiers of his cantonment. Replying today to a letter from Mayor Mitchel on the subject, Major General Bell ‘wrote that rcgulations Oct. 25 governing privileges in holding public meetings within the.cantonment con- tain a provision which stated that no permits would be granted “to political parties whose platforms include doc- trines subversive of military disci- pline.” Major General Eell further said that the mayocr's argument was reasonable that Mr. Hillquit, “if his doctrine Is treasonable” could he dealt with un- der the law, but pointed out that such subsequent procedure ‘“could have no effect in undoing harm to military discipline.” > He added, however, that he never “expressed nor intimated to anyone that I considered Mr. Hillquit's doc- trine treasonable, or unpatriotic,” plaining that “I am intrusted wit most important duty and feel i d to discharge ‘H in such man- ner only as seems to me most con- ducive to ihe public welfare.” WORLD'S WHEAT CROP IS ONE PER CENT.
