 flowed in a steady stream into local banks Wednesday, when workers were putting forth their hardest efforts to meet this districts apportionment of s2e7 ,oo0. the largest sum ever asked for at one time in this section.
 At mills throughout the town, in the residential streets and throughout the villages of Killingly and in the town of Brooklyn teams of workers were exerting steady pressure for sub- scriptions, and with good results.
