Notes on the Big Drive.

The day is rapidly approaching when
company will be one of the units in
the lst Vermont regiment that can boast
of having attained war strength.
d. Cassacico, another Barre boy to en-
list, is an expert saxophone player and
hopes to find place in the regimental
band.
Undoubtedly the khaki detail will be
back in Barre tomorrow to remain in
camp here until Monday.
Chelsea's open-hearted hospitality is
still favorite topic of discussion among
the soldiers Dr. Godfrey gave them
free medical service and III. NJ. Mattison
of the National bank was helpful in di-
vers ways. w. Morse sent down big
bag of oranges and John Sprague gave
them the use of his automobile in touring
adjacent towns. High school students
lent their services at every turn. Wash
ington's welcome was quite as cordial.
Prof. Richardson, who was impressed
as speaker, is the head of the mineral
ogy department at Syracuse university
and reached Washington just in time to
participate. He has contagious brand
of enthusiasm which he imparts to the
student body during the football season,
according to Private Harry Levin, who
was a student at Syracuse when the war
broke out.

Jury DINED TOGETHER
After Which They Took Charge of Judge
in Liquor Prosecution.

At noon to-day all the evidence for
the prosecution and defense in the case
of State vs.. Mrs. Aurelio Villa, charged
with selling intoxicating liquor illegally,
had been introduced when Magistrate
II. w. Scott declared a reeess and in
structed the court officer to escort the
jury to Hotel Barre for dinner. The case
was resumed at o'clock this afternoon,
when Grand Juror William Wishart and
Hoar and Fay, attorneys for the respond
ent, began their closing arguments.
Witnesses summoned by the state dis
closed various reasons for visiting the
Villa establishment Robert Hesphy
buttered no parsnips in saying that he
went there for booze, got it and paid for
il. Not so with Eddie Connors, a Gran
iteville youth, who swore that he helped
himself to whiskey, but did not pay for
it. Not so with Charles Lee, who was
not thinking of fiery liquors when he
called at Mrs. Villas, a supposition
which was supported by his assertion
that he was there 10 visit a girl of his
acquaintance. Other witnesses who tes-
titled to having been in the Villa house
were Henry Allaire and John ConnOrs,
each of whom denied any transaction
that might compromise the respondent.
For the defense the first witness was
Miss Josephine Rizzi. a girl of tender
years, who said she never saw liquor
sale during all the time she was EN-
ployed by the respondent. Mrs. Villa
took the stand in her own defense just
before noon. refused TO recognize Heaphy
as a man who had called at her house,
and swore that she had not engaged in
the liquor business at any time. More
over, in response 10 question from the
Judge. she ssid that she did not possess
a United states revenue receipt for
taxes unit. she was approached by a
revenue officer after a recent conviction.
The state did not cross examine.
The following jurymen are serving:

Reports by telephone and telegraph
from every section of the country told
of an avalanche of small subscriptions at
the last moment. Scores of small inves-
tors were standing in line at hundreds
of banks throughout the country during
the final hours. The small subscriber
apparently had responded with an en-
thusiasm that exceeded the most san
guine hopes of the OFFICIALS.
As early as ii o'clock it was indicated
that the total subscriptions would be at
least $500 100000, which was an over
subscription of 25 per cent.

BARRE BOUGHT
$425,O00 BONDS
Over-Subscribed It's Allot-
ment of Liberty Loan by
Several Thousands
CAME WITH RUSH
IN FINAL HOURS
Total Represented Small In
vestments Almost
Entirely

Barre over subscribed its allotment o.
United States government Liberty loar
bonds. The last rush of subscription,
this morning brought the total up tc
S425,000; and the joy of the local work
ers, as well as of all who participated ii
the patriotic movement, was unbounded
A task that had seemed almost impos
sible of accomplishment had been done
and done almost entirely by small sub.
scriptions. Indeed, there were no sub.
scriptions of big figures, on which Ia
build great structure of financial serv-
ice to the government, but it was wholly
on small offerings that Barre had to de-
pend.
That the small investors rallied to the
great duty is indicated by the fact that
the total number of subscribers runs into
the thousands. Fifty.dollar and 500
bonds were the rule. There were, of
course, those who took blocks of the
bonds figuring into the thousands, but
they were far outnumbered. The house
toulouse canvass conducted early in the
week, together with the great publicity
given the campaign, resulted in rounding
up these thousands of people and in
teresting them in the direct support of
the government.
When the banks opened this morning
the total tabulation was approximately
$4,000 short OF the desired amount, but
as the morning wore on the faces of the
local workers grew broader and broader
until finally they broke forth into
"wreaths of smiles" as the total ap-
preached the mark and then passed it.
Subscriptions were received through
the four local banks as follows:
