 Planning whirlwind finish to the campaign to make Plainville's sub scriptions to the Liberty Loan far in excess of the amount expected Qf towns of this size, a committee began today to make arrangements for big patriotic demonstration next Wed. nesday night. The parade and at- tendant features will bey a most ex- tensive scale and the demonstra- tion will probably be the greatest event in Plainville's history.
 Although subscriptions to date total about $25,O0O which is considerably more than had been expected week ago, the committee working for the sale of bonds here hopes to add at least $1O,OOO to the amount pledged before next Thursday, the fast day oi which the Trust company will be per mitted to receive applications.
 The general committee discussed the situation last evening and 1t was decided to close the campaign in whirlwind fashion. C.. H. Newton, J. N. McKernan and P. J. Prior were appointed a subcommittee to make arrangements for parade and a monster meeting at which time final effort will be attempted to se- cure additional pledges. The trio met this morning and voted to have the affair Wednesday night, the parade to begin at 7:30.
 Invitations to participate will be extended to the Home Guard. the ,flremen. the G. A. R. and the mem bers of the various social and fra ternal organizations and the commit tee hopes to have every man Ill town in the line. The use of autos for veterans and women will be so- licited by the committee but the mem berss hope that men who are willing
 to loan the machines but who are not approached by their representatives will get in touch with them as soon as possible. The time for the making l of arrangements is short and 1t will require general cooperation to make the demonstration the success hoped for. The Eureka Drum corps Is ex- nected to furnish music for the pa rade.
 After the marching 1t is planned to have a mass meeting on the Home Guard drill grounds on Pierce street. Out-of town speakers will be secured and there will be an organized effort to impress on everyone the need or purchasing bonds that the Liberty 1 Loan may be far over-subscribed py Friday.
 Acting under the direction of the committee the Boy Scouts made a house to house canvass on all streets today, leaving subscription blanks at each home. They will return next
 Tuesday to collect the blanks or those who desire to subscribe for bonds. The committee was hopeful today that the total of the subscriptions in Plainville would reach $4O,ooo whiio
 some of the members were even op-
 timistic enough to predict that $5O.-
 900 will be pledged here by Thursday
 evening.
