With the speakers car leading and trimmed with the national colors and followed by gay colored floats of the different organizations and with the Grand Army men, old and feeble of limb followed by the school children who marched in light and swinging style: with the Plain vile Hose company and the Home Guard units adding militaristic touch to the affair and with autos creeping along slowly behind covered with an abundance of red, white and blue, Plainville witnessed what was truly gala day and destined to go down in the annals of history of the town.
 During the parade 1t is safe to say that every public spirited citizen in the town watched this display of pa triotism The stores, bank and other plac of business were closed during the hours of between ? and 4 o'clock.
 At Pierce Field, where the parade terminated, Chester D. Pugsley, presi- dent of the Peekskill Chamber of Commerce, after being introduced by u, delivered a patriotic address MT. Pugsley who bears an excellent repu- tation as a public speaker found favor with his audience and spoke of the vital need of the people of every com munity loaning their money to the government in order that the Kaiser's scheme for world conquest may be successfully thwarted.
 Ypoo fo r,;f vice that the Boy Scouts rendered at the last rally they were presented with medals by Postmaster Prior.
 While the rally was in progress bonds were sold at the booth which had been. constructed on the grounds for the purpose. Solicitors also passed among the crowd and a thorough can vas was made of all those present. AL though the amount raised will not be announced until Monday judging from the manner in which those present showed their willingness to contract for one or more bonds it was quite evident that they should not be more tender with their dollars than with their sons.
 i, The Boy Scouts helped in making the affair a success and for the next four, days have been duly authorized to sell bonds. Bonds sold by the Boy Scouts will be- legal and the money turned over to the chairman Of. the general committee. Each Boy Ssout who succeeds in selling ten bonds will receive a gold medal and those who succeeded in winning medals at the time of the first Liberty Loan issue and sell ten bonds this time will re- ceive some recognition.

Carmine Perretti, Kensington's well-known tailor, is today lamenting over the loss of $500. Perretti was this morning notified by Constable John J. Hackett that bond which he furnished for the appearance of George A. George, who was recently bound over from the local town court on the charge of harboring a female for immoral purposes has been for feited.
 George was arraigned before Judge Griswold on September IS in con- junction with Ross Crowley, and Martin Macdonald for conducting an indecent show at the Berlin Fair grounds.
 , Probable cause was found at the time to bind the men over George ap- pealed to Perretti to furnish bonds for him. Although it is said that the local tailor had known George but a very short time, still he placed faith an the man and helped him in his hour of trouble.
 When the States Attorney Hugh M. A1oorn called the case of George in .Ae superior court this week, the &C., cused was conspicuous by his absence. Judge Griswold was notified that the bond was forfeited.
 At the time of his arraignment in the local court George emphatioally proclaimed his innocence He claimed that he was merely a ticket seller at the show and knew nothing of it's nature. The show was known as the Vampire Girr' and Jennie May Curtis the chief performer, is now at the Seym street emporium, Hartford, serving out a 100 days jail sentence.
 The cases of Crowley and Mac Donald have not come up for trial yet. Gabriel Shaker, wfo furnished che music at the show was fined $50 and costs.
