COmpanleS 1 and L. state Guard,
 made up of Plainville and Bristol
 men respectively, will give an eHhi-
 bition drill at the drill grounds on
 Pierce street. This will he in con
 nection with the State Guard carnival
 and there will also be series of field
 sports from to o'clock for the younger people. It was originally in-
 tended that the drill tomorrow would be a competitive one, with possibly
 companies from New Britain, Farm
 ington, southington and Bristol com~ peting with the local men, but this plan was abandoned.
 Col. Charles W. Burpee, command ] ing the First Regiment. C. $. G., will be present tomorrow with the eNecu- tive officers of his staff. The Phil
 harmonic band from New Britain will furnish music.
 While nothing definite has yet been decided, it is possible that a street
 parade of State Guardsmen will pre- cede the events at the drill grounds, Carnival Making Money. The State Guard carnival was
  timated that about 800 or 500 people were present, many coming from Southington, Pennington and New Britain. Tonight will be New Brit ain night. Reports up to noon today showed that the carnival is financially a success as last evening 1t was estl- mated that between $500 and $500 was taken in. The chief place of amuse- ment for the out-of-town folks was the Killing of the Kaiser Several had tho good luck of knocking "Bills' head over. but one man from New Britain had the best luck in breaking his face and dama ging the autocrat in various ways. "Bil'' will be all ready for use tonight, however, and it is hoped that he will be damaged again so as to show that the carnival pa irons are against him. Selling of War Savings Stamps was very heavy last night and it is reported that the sup ply at the grounds for last night WAS nearly exhausted when the time came for. closing. A new feature was on display last night and that was 8. strength testing machine Several men had the honor of ringing the bell seN- eral times. Dancing attracted many of the patrons and at no time during 1 the evening was the floor unoCcupied, l New attractions will he on display to- night at the War Savings stamps ! booth.

 Make Up Your Mind Now.
 Tn order to prevent waste of time
 on the part of War Savings canvassers 1 residents are urged to decide now how
 much they will subscribe. Time is money these days and one way D ! conserve money is to save time. : Everyone realizes the necessity of suo scribing to the war. The question has i gone far beyond that point. It is rlt
 only a patriotic duty, but it is also the i greatest business investment in the ] life of every man, woman and child ! today. In the past, canVassers have { been delayed because the average per- l son could not decide without deep l thought how much he would subscribe. l Canvassers are busy people-busy for ! Uncle Sanl-and their task will be
 made easier if ali decide now how
 much they can afford to subscribe and 1 thus not detain the Canvasser whom 1 subscriptions are asked for.
