EIGHTH BOX OF
 KNITTED SETS PACKED.
Woman's Service League Sends An other Shipment to Navy League Headquarters.

At the rooms of the National League for Woman's Service the eighth box of knitted sets was packed and sent to the headquarters of the Navy league Wednesday.
 Mrs. John D. Hall, chairman. stated that since the first week in June there have been s99 finished pieces returned to the rooms In addition to the eight boxes sent to the Navy league, our own boys have been supplied since that became possible, and very apprecia- tive have they been, as is evidenced from the many letters received ex- pressing their gratitude.
 The women of Norwich have re- spofded nobly to this call for service and every day sees new ones enlisted in the ranks of the knitters. Too much credit cannot be given them for this eager response and 1t cannot be estimated how far-reac ching is the comfort given by them. As cold weather approaches, however, the need grows greater for every sweater and scarf. every helmet and every pair of wristlets and socks.

Liberty bonds. It is expected that in
 some cases a special sermon will be
 preached while in others mention will
 be made at both services.
 The Liberty Loan committee have made arrangements to erect a 20- foot thermometer on the pole located at
 the Young block corner on Franklin square this week Friday. From then on the public of Norwich will be able to watch the progress of the mercury showing the daily amount of sub scriptions to the Liberty Loan cam paign in Norwich as well as the num- Der of subscriptions received each day. The Norwich, New London Sign company have given their services in the erection. painting and daily tab ulating of the sign. the Chappeu com pany have donated the lumber and the Peck, McWilliams company the making of the large rmometer. This speaks well for the patriotism of the Norwich concerns. Everyone in Norwich is greatly interested in the local campaign. to raise the allotment of $1.25O.000. A strenuous effort will be made to bust the thermometer, pushing the mercury completely over the top.
 Another very kind offer to help the Norwich. New London Sign com pany which have taken the balance of the Liberty loan posters and will place these on their bill boards this section.
