Solicitors Collect s171.s1 and Schools
 Contribute S98.4o.

The town of Windham has contrib uted $3b5 70 the Books for Sol diers" fund so far, and there are few boxes to be collected yet and the Pa rochfa1 schools have not been heard from, so the money will probably reach the SA00~ mark. The allotment for /iis town was $7o0 and just one half of this sum has been raised. This is exceptionally good since few of the larger cities are having good results, New Haven getting only sl.00o of their s1.000 allotment, and Hartford is hav- ing the same results.
 The money was collected in the fol- towing ways: Solicitors. AS per cent; schools, 2s per cent: boxes in stores, Is per cent; mills, per cent.
 The collections received so far are as follows:
