 Movie Theatres to Advance Prices.
 The price of motion picture enter tainments in this city is going to be advanced next week. and with the coming of November 1 the shows that have been costing patrons ten cents will be advanced to Is cents.

 The 15 cent prices applies to eve ming entertainments here and to the orchestra circle only. Balcony seats are to remain at the old price. plus to eleven cents.
 the afternoon will be let down very easy, however, for the only additional cost to them will be the war tax of enc cent. Manager D. A.

E. H. CrandaiI of Brooklyn Buys Thoroughbred Stock for Breeding Purposes.

In connection with the heavy sales of cattle that have been conducted this week by J. Carl Witter ct the John A. Baton farns at Wauregan and the George Kimba1l farm in the town of Brooklyn, grade>and thoroughbred anil mals bringing from $100 to $325 each, one buyer, E. H. Cranda1l. who re- gently came to the Sam Harris farm, in Brooklyn, made some purchases of thoroughbreds with the plan in mind Of using them for breeding purposes a part of a campaign to raise the standard of herds in this part of the county and thereby produce cows that will show greater returns to those who own them and incidentally increase the supply of milk. a matter that is re- ceiving attention throughout New England, in view of the rapidly in creasing price asked for the commod- ity. This plan is also in line with the propaganda of the Windham County Farmers association.
 Mr. Crandall secured some of the finest cows that have been sold in this county in a long time and will use them to promote the breeding of tho-oughbreds. 2 a

 These figures will very probably show a substantial increase in today's reports. No figures were available from the Connecticut Mills Thursday, because the canvass had just been started there, but the employees of this concern made a splendid showing in the June campaign an dmay be ex- pected to register a liberal amount of subscriptions before tomorrow night.
 The supreme test as to whether this district will be on the honor roll with nearly all New England committees in meeting Liberty loan al1otments must be met before the close of business Saturday night.
 Any person who can save as little as ore dollar a week has no excuse for not buying a bond-the best investment that the world has known. The person who can do this and does not do it must be rated a stacker and at least a passive friend of, Germany.
 That all may have chance to sub scribe, the banks here will be open this evening and Saturday evening.

DISTRICTS $411,0oo SURE
 BOND SUBSCRIPTIONS $a75,oo0
That Total Was a. 5.30 p. nn., Thurs day and All the Count Was Not Made.

Putnam is going to hang up the splendid record of meeting its unus- uaily heavy minimum allotment of subscriptions to the Liberty loan $4l1,00O.
 This fact was assured Thursday af- ternoon, when returns compiled at the First National bank showed that the total of subscriptions tabulated was over $375,000, and all the subscriptions had not been. tabulated at the time this report was given out, 5.3O ?. m., the banks force then being engaged in counting for the final total.
 The surprising manner in which the subscriptions have come in during the past three days shows that the loyalty of the townspeop1e that make up the Putnam financial district can- not be questioned, and that they are back of the government in their full strength. Today is going to be mark ed by the reaching of at least $411.- eco in subscriptions and then the drive will continue with intensified force to boost the figures onward to- ward the half million mark.
