More than 100000 men and wo-
men OF the United States subscribed
for the bonds, placing this vast sum
OF money at the disposal OF their
Government for the prosecution of
the war. OF this number it is esti-
mated that 100000 people. or 90 per
cent, subscribed in amounts ranging
from $50 to $4,000. while the num-
Der OF individual subscriptions OF S.
100000 and over was p, their sub
scriptions aggregating S1ss. 7ss, 300.
The figures as to the number of
subscriptions are estimates, because
the returns from the twelve Federal
reserve banks in this respect are in
complete, but when finally reported
they will exceed the number stated.
"One OF the chief purposes of the
campaign was to distribute the Lib
erty bonds widely throughout the
country and place them as far as pos
sible in the hands of the people. This
was important because the strength
of Government finance, like the
strength OF Government politics, rests
upon the support OF the people. The
large number OF subscribers, especial
ly the large number OF small subscrib-
ers, is most gratifying and indicates
that the interest OF the people was
aroused as never before in an issue

New Interest in Poultry is
Stimulated Among County
Farmers by Farm Bureau

One of the most interesting meet
ings which has been conducted by
the farm bureau this season was held
at the farm of j. E. Brown of Ridge
field on Thursday, January 18th.
The meeting. which was arranged
by F. E. White, farm bureau direc-
tor of Ridgefield, and his committee,
was in charge of r. e. Jones. extern
sion poultryman Of the Connecticut
Agricultural college. The principal
feature was demonstration by Mr..
Jones of a method of selecting the
high producing hens in flock. A
flock Of thirty-two Rose Comb Rhode
Island Reds was used, being divided
into two classes of about equal num-
Der and placed in separate comparr-
ments of the house. Mr.. Anderson,
superintendent of the farm, is to be-
gin at once to keep accurate egg. rec
ords of each flock, and the monthly
egg yields will be published in the
farm bureau Exchange"
Jones stated that the proper sea-
son for such selection is in the fall,
when the indications of high and low
production are much more easily de-
termined than at this season.
A number of similar demonstra-
tons are being planned by the farm
bureau in various towns throughout
the county next fall. A.9

French. Seizure of
Chinese Territory
Accusing Protests

Peking, jan. 15-Showers of petit
tions are reaching parliament daily
concerning the action of the French
in forcibly Selling an addition to their
concession in Tien-tsin. Practically
al the provincial military governors
and high officials throughout China
have sent messages and memorials
urging the parliament, the president
and the cabinet to resist the French
aggression.
The Association for the Protection
of National Territory, a Tien-tsin or
ganization, says: eff the government
yields to the French demand this time,
the result will be that we shall have
no way to ward off the national in
suit and at the same time other
foreign powers will take similar action
in this country, with the result that
our territory will soon disappear be-
fore the land-grabbing powers. When
this process of encroachment begins,
the days of our national existence will
be numbered. At the outset this case
might have appeared somewhat trivial,
but it's final result will have signi-
ficant bearing upon the fate of the
country"

Crowded House at
Mass Meeting of
Machinists' Union

A crowded house featured the first
of the series Of mass meetings at the
Plaza, planned by the local Machin
lists, union, yesterday, when Stuart
Reid, and Health Officer w. H. Brown
addressed the audience.
Mr.. Reid urged greater attendance
at church services. He declared that
churches are like other institutions
for the use of the public, in that
they are neglected by the common
people, who therefore do not get the
maximum amount of benefit from
them.
DR.. Brown spoke on health condi-
tons in this city, but more particular
ly on what the public can do to lower
the mortality in the city. He tailed
of the necessity of reporting all COM
municable diseases to the health de-
pa;rtment, and the advisability Of
calling the attention of the health
department to tuberculosis cases in
their early stages to protect the fam
lilies of the sufferers and others, as
well as to try to save the victims.
