SMALL HOUSE BURNED.
And Another Caught Fire, But Was
Saved.

Newport, July l7.-Fire yesterday aft
ernoon destroyed the house and barn
owned by Mrs. James ROBBIE and occupied
by Thomas McKinsey in Glen Derby. The
house was situated near the engine house
of the Boston and Maine railroad. The
cause of the fire is unknown. Mr.. and
Mrs. McKinsey were in st. Adams and
the house was unoccuped.
The chemical engine from Newport
was called, but the fire had gained con-
siderable Roadway and the fire fighters
were unable TO save anything A large
force Of men from the engine house
helped in saving nearby buildings. A
dwelling house owned by Henry Lahar
and occupied by Wallace Durham, caught
several times and was saved only by the
use of the chemical engine and pail brig
ade The loss is about 81 900.

Thrift in Bond Buying.

In an address before the New York
State Bankers association, it was stated
that England's first war loan of one bill.
lion and threequarters was subscribed to
by one hundred thousand subscribers
To her last great Victory loan of five
billion dollars in 1917, there were eight
million subscribers. What, it was asked
was it that caused this tremendous in
crease in national interest, this wonder
full financial support from every part of
the nation in the prosecution of the war
1t was thrift, the habit of saving and in
vesting, a habit formed by whole peo-
pie working with one definite end in
view.
Americas first war loan was much
larger than Englsnd's first loan and was
subscribed to by great many more peo-
pie. Americas next issue of Liberty
loan bonds, which latel will be offered
for sale, il is believed viii be subscribed
for by a greater number than subscribed
to Englands last loan. Thrift and
American patriotism will accomplish
this result-thrift because the people
have been awakened TO its necessity and
patriotism because il has been aroused
in higher measure by the fact that our
soldiers soon will be fighting on the bat
tie front in Europe.
