DANIELSON Danielson people were startled last week when The Bulletin announced that Killingly would be expected to raise probably $454,000 in the fourth Liberty loan. The amount seemed staggering, considering the town's re- sources and taken in conjunction with what already has been done in loan- ing money to the government. But just ‘under half a million isn't going to bother this town at all! Kil- lingly, it is already indicated, is go- ing over the top in the forthcoming drive with the same splendid financial clan that marked the three previous loans, all of which were over-sub- scribed here. Following a meeting of the directors of the Danielson Trust company on Monday morning it was announced that the directors had voted to sub- scribe for $50,000 of the bonds of the fourth loan and that the bank algeady has subscriptions of an additional $100,000, and over. This institution also has been a heavy subscriber to the temporary certificates of indebt- edness that the government recently issued. One of the directors of the Daniel- son Trust companv said Monday af- ternoon that the action the bank had taken is just the serving of amother notice that Uncle Sam has only start- ed to fight, and that Germany had better understand that sooner than later. It was also announced following a meeting of the directors that N. Lorne Greig of the Assawaga Woolen company, Dayville, had been elected a member of the board of directors, succeeding Charles .B. Wiggin, vice president of the Merchants' Nationai bank, Boston, who resigned in accord with a federal order against inter- locking directorates. Mr. Wiggin will retain, however, an interest in the Danielson Trust company, but mot as a director. In subscribing for $59,000 of the fourth loan bonds the Danielson Trust, company has doubled its sub- scription to the third lean and the ad- ditional subseriptions in excess of $100,000. which it announces is conm- sidered remarkable. The Brooklyn Savings bank was an- other of Danielson’s financial .institu- tions ‘that announced Monday a big boost to the fourth Liberty loan cam- paign, about to open in Killingly, This bank 'will take $75,000 of the bonds of the fourth loan. The announce- ment wes greeted with enthusiasm by the citizens who heard of it and is an- other honor mark for an institution that always has held the utmost con- fidence of the people of Danielson, Erooklyn, where the bank originally was established, and all the sur- {rounding towns. Taken with the an- | nouncements of ~Danielson's other banks, that of the Brook! Savings bank came like a burst of sunshine and as an added guarantee that Kil- lingly will be in the forefront when he towns of Comnecticut are credited with their efforts to meet the tre- mendous task of raising six billions of dollars, the largest oan in the his- tory of the world, With the subscriptions of the banks and those already assured through the banks from their patrons, Killingl will get away with a flying start in meeting the big subscriptions expect- ed of it. Subscriptions already sured are between $325,000 and $330, 020. The *“big fellows” have set the pace. They have doubled and more than doubled on their efforts in the last loan campaigns, and have set the g00d example that smaller subscrib- ers are expected to follow. Now it is up to the smaller subscribers to come across with 100 per cent. increases in subscriptions, to the end that the United States be quigkly triumphant in the war and that no_ Killingly boy who is fighting “over there’_ or who will fight there later, shall ever have it to say that those who remained at home did mot back him up with their dollars. The new bonds will bear interest at the rate of 4 1-4 per cent. Ensign Lester A. Bill, who has just completed a special course of study at the United States Naval Academy at Annapolis, is visitine here with his father, Judge Arthur G. Bill, before reporting for duty, abdut Sept. 30 as engineer officer of the U. S. S. De- Kalb, formerly the great German liner Prinz Eitel Frederich. Ensign Bill entered the navy soon after the outbreak of the war, enlist- ing at Newport, where he first re- ported for duty. The special training he had received in civil life made him a valuable man for the government and he was not at Newport long be- fore he was detailed on assignments of very considerable importance. In’ all of these hie measured up to the ex- acting requirements of the govern- ment. When the opportunity came he successfully passed the necessary tests for admission to Annapolis as an ensign and he has now completed the as- course at the Academy and is ready for active service that will take him back and forth across the seas, for the DeKalb'is one of America’s great- est transports. i ios, backache, stiff joints, sore nd other sym Joley Kidney Pills ‘banith offects of kiduey and bladder troble by ey are healing and ‘tone up and strengthen the writes: “I consider Foley Ki medicine for kidney and Igdmldd:r The war department has announced the promotion of Captain Albert H.
