 Protect Your Sons.
 Shall we be more tender with our dollars than with our sons?" This is the question which the peonle in Plainville must give thought to be- fore they refuse to sign for Liberty Bonds is the opinion of Chairman A A. Macleod of the general committee. AS long as the young manhood of America are willing to lay down their lives on the altar of democracy it. is no more than right that we should help them in their endeavor by rais- ing money by which the war can suc- .cessfully be carried on, said MT. Mac Leod this morning.
 To date slightly over $4O,O00 has been turned in by the general workers or subscribed through the bank di- rect. This is nearly one-half of Plain ville's minimum allotment and with the prospects of $20,000 more in sight the subscription list within the next few days should total we'll up towards the $60,000 mark. The rally day is expected to prove a boom and mem bers of the general committee are sure that the complete allotment will be successfully raised although they have but nine days more to carry on the campaign.
 In order to stimulate more interest in the loan among the employees of the factory J. H. Trumbull this morn ing stated that fifteen minute speak CT has been engaged to address the employees tomorrow afternoon at l o'clock at the factory. Hmm ediately after the talk a canvass will be made of the factory in an effort to so> licit subscriptions to the loan.
 In order to keep the people of the town we'll informed as to how much is subscribed each day to the loan and of the total amount received to date, an improved clock will be erect ed in Central Square. It will be marked off at intervals of 5000 and the dial each day will point to the total, amount of subscriptions turned in during the previous days of the campaign. Considerable interest is manifested in the barometer con- structed at the Plainville Hardware store which also acts as a medium to transmit to the people how much has been subscribed to the second Liberty Loan. The mercury is still rising and the question is, Twill it ultimately reach its goal of $99.O00.
 It has been decided to have the improvised clock in Central Square lighted after dark and the wiring will be done today Those who are un- able to get down town during the day will have a chance each evening to learn how the town stands in regards to the loan.
 A Real Patriot.
 Through a communication to the Herald today it was learned that AL fred Young of Plainville, prior to making application for the English army, was rejected five times when he offered himself at various recruit ing stations wishing to become a member of Uncle Sam's forces. He leaves for Boston Monday where he will undergo his final examination and in all probability will pass This is only another reason why the people of the town should buy Liberty Bonds.
