The big Subscription Campaign
which the Banner is running, and in
which there are such delightfully."- at
tractive tokens to be gained by just
a little spare time effort on the part
of those who interest themselves in
this big gift-giving triumph, is a lit
tie more than half over, and there is
still plenty of room for three or four
good hustlers to get into the race and
win.
Now is the time to get started to
work and now is the very time to be
getting a big reserve vote ahead for
the final stretch. Where are you 60
ing to be when the finish gong sounds?
Are you going to have a big reserve
vote to place in the ballot box on the
last day OF the campaign? Or are you
going to have your name read on as
one of the stragglers? Think this over
carefully and then determine TO have
your. name numbered among the win
ners OF the very best prizes Convince
yourself that nothing but the best is
good enough for you, and then make
up your mind to get the very best
prize in this campaign. You can win
the biggest and best prize by just
putting forth a little enthusiastic ef-
fort during the last seventeen days or
the campaign.
There will be a RED HOT" battle
ensuing before the close of the cam
paign. Everywhere the outcome is in
doubt, and, needless to say, the bat
tie will be at white heat as the hour

 From a personal letter found in his possession from young lady acquain- tance, which he had received under the date of Oct. g, it would appear in face of certain statements contained there in that he had written his correspond ent intelligent'e on some subject previ- ous to that time.
 King was examined by two physi- cians at the police station Wednesday morning. Dr. Edward c. Chipman interviewed him early in the morning while Dr. Ross B. Black had talk with King before noon. The young man was taken to the state hospital at Norwich Tuesday afternoon for treatment.

The strength Of the man is shown in the fact that cell and succeeded in loosening the iron brace from the masonry work. Armed with this crude instrument he worked like a beaver to dig a hole through the wall. Tfs attempt at escape was dis covered before he had dug into the removed te another cell and told that he was doing wrong, he finally quieted down and slept the remainder of the time.
 Attention vas first drawn to the mar whey, he entered the blacksmith shop and throwing down an old horseshoe reached down into pile of brand new shoes and helped himself to two. After this he walked around awhile and suggesting that he would require some nails, did not wait for an answer from self Speaking ineoherently upon sew erai subjects and at the same time ex- hfbiting some of the trash he had in his pockets MT.

 MT. Morgan writes as follows:
 Dear Mother:
 Am writing to you from some where in France. Have not been sick since leaving there and am feeling as healthy as ever. Had a wonderful voyage, the weather was perfect ex- cept for a few showers now and then. We are getting enough rain here. It is very muddy. If you could see our shoes and leggings all covered with mud you would have fit. It took us ------- to get here. We have had long hikes, boat rides and train rides to last us awhile. Our food is good, aItho'v h it is not enough to over load our stomachs and make us sick. My leg has not bothered me at all and think when I get through training it will be as good as it ever was. The French people use us very nice and think that we will end the war DefOre long. I lave seen all kinds of sol- diers ------- and those who have been to the front and been wounded and had to return --------- are out side of a small town. --.
 You can never see an idle person here. Every bit of food is saved. If few of the people in Norwich could see some of the things over here they would open their eyes. Some of the young fellows that are waiting to be drafted would join if they could only realize what war is like -. The life here is much different than the camp life in the states No more fooling for us, everything is business. Am proud to think joined a company that has been successful enough to get over here and I think we will all come lack some day, but we have a lot of work before us that will keen us here for awhile. We have some oi th;, best officers in the U. S.. army Our captain is fine. He is doing et- erything he possibly can for our com fort Hope FTossie, Elijah and fath- CT and yourself are feeling. fine. Will close with love to all From your low
