Hinman méntioned how the people heed the ?avma%nt'- call for help as a real- he seriousness of the situar tion is made known to' them. In his canyassing he found that all of the people were for the loan, but as there were so many workers, each person i asked more than once, many of the people in . his district buying through the Thread company, and for this rea- eon team results.cannot he used as an indication of the amount of work done. The class of people who buy a small bond but who can afford a much larger one~thén claimed his attention. He called them slackers and said that the amount they subscribe should be pub- lished, to shame them. Mr. Lynch said that the present card system would show every person'in his true colore in this and future loans, Mayor Charles A, Gates was called upon, but he said that his sentiments had been expressed by Mr. Hinman and Mr. Lynch. Joseph Berard report- ed that the Austrian Poles were sub- scribing fine, although they are really enemies to this country. Postmaster James O'Rourke said that thrift and war eavings stamps was his line and that Willimantic was setting a record for the United States in this line. He also said that the postal savings, with a small rate of interest, had mnot de- creased since the floating of the bond issues. 'He thought that the wealthy should he made to buy bends in pro- portion to their income. Valentine Murphy said that he was glad that there were few wealthy peo- ple in this city, as they do mnot sub- scribe to the bonds. He is chairman of the war savings stamp committee in this city and said- that Willimantic ranked only third in this state in per capita purchases, under adverse con- ditions. Fuel Administrator Frank Larabee said that he had been turned down enly twice. He =7'd that the raeeting at the armory helped the subscrip- tions very muych. as in the Windham silk mill they increased from §2,000 before the meeting to $5,000 after the meeting. Andrew Roux also reported few refcsals: the Rossie velvet mill has subscribed for $2,000. Selectman E. P. Chesbro stated that all in his district had “come across,” while of course there are one or two who neeq smoking out. Harry Branch created the sensation of the afternoon when he reported a man who did not believe in the Red Cross, Y. M. C, A. and Liberty bond issues, and this man voiced his senti- ments loudly. One team worker on his team told this man, what he thought of him and said that he shouldn’t be allowed at large. Mr. Lynch said that he man to the secret ger ould refer the e, as he is only distributing German propaganda. “He doesn’t have to buy bonds, but he need not be disloval” he. said, and added that he was flirting ca with a va- n from this city for the duration | of the war. C. W. Noyes and Harold Lincoln reported the work to te going fine and nearly finished. Alphonse Chagnon, ho left his home with the water run- 2 into the cellar, to attend the ting. had found that all of the people in his district were buying honds and treateq the canvassers in a fine way. Ashton Perkins asked Mr. | Lyneh why a man who did not pay for his bond before the day that the inter- est began had to pay interest, It was explained that he would get this mon- ey back when he cashed the coupens and that the hanker who held the bond was entitled to some money for invest- ing his money. James P. Bath, nublicity agent for the loan in th said that in gen- the Wil antic merchants were 1 to give ps of their show and advertising space for ad- vertising the bond issue and that a special feature would be arranged for soon. Rev. W. C. Norris announced that the tonie for the Monday meeting of the Get Together club would be of interest to the Liberty bond workers, “Americanization,” as all na- tionalities are buying the bonds. meeting will be public.

The martins, only a few years ago, came to Jewett City by scor and would be friendly with anybod. making their summer homes anywhe; that boxes were put up for their oc- cupation. The English sparrow al- ways fought them vigorously and i there was no human interference the martins were whipped and driven o aof their boxes, It is now a fact that the martin is almost extingt in Gri wold. A few pairs come each year to W. @. Duce’s boes on South Main street, and that is the only place in Jewett City where it is po: le to see and watch this handsome and busy bird. There is also one place in Glas- g0 where a small colony each year has survived the enemies' attacks . A fact, proven in the boxes of Mr. Duce and Dr. Jennings, is that the bird, ceming in early spring as he does, suffers from the cold and damp of days like Saturday and Sunday, and it becomes sadly his undoing, for they erowd into the hoxes for warmth as tight as they can and there smother. Mr. Duce has taken out twenty-two dead birds from a single box ang at another place on East Main street, nine were taken out in the same man- ner. After the young birds are hatch. their prineipal occupation is e'n‘m‘:, and likewise the principal occupation of the parents is an all day hustle_to supply this want. In a Forest and Stream of 1884, Otto Widmann pre- sents an interesting table showing how eften martins are fed. He watched a colany of sixteen pairs of birds from 4 am, to 8 p. m. during which time the parents visited their offsprings 3277 times, on an average of 205 times for each pair. The males made 1,454 and the females 1,823 visits. Leoan Subscriptions $17,500. At the close of business at the Jew- ett City Savings bank Saturday noon there were recorded by G. C.
