COMMITTEE IN SESSION

and Glynn OycrcaS-Qucstionn Out.
 A meeting of the PIainville Liberty Loan committee was held last eve ping at o'clock in the rooms of the Plainville Trust company. The pur- pose of the meeting was to appoint sub committees and in general to plan for the drive in Plainville. A. A. Mcleod opened the meeting and outlined the essential points of the drive The new loan will be ap- proximately s6,OO0 100000 This is double the last loan, and is expected to mean that the quota of each town will be doubled. Plainville's quota for the third loan was SS1,0OO and this will probably mean that the quota for the fourth loan will be ia the neigh borhood of $160,000. Mir. Mcleod, al though admitting that it would be great task to raise this sum, expressed his confidence in the ability of the people of Plainville to do their bit as they have done heretofore.
 MT. Mcleod suggested that nomina- tiOnS be opened for a general com mittee of three men to take charge of all canvassiHg and soliciting for the loan. These men would then appoint Sub-CommitteeS and assistants to help them in covering the various sections of the town. The following men Were unanimously chosen for this commit tee: Frank T. Wheeler, Joseph N. Me Herman and Edward Brastow
 Nominations were then in order for a publicity committee to take charge of advertising and to bring the loan before the public. For this commit tee Rev. F. c. Gillette was selected as chairman and Henry Trumbull and John Lamb as his assistants.
 MT. Mcleod then mentioned the ad- visibility of appointing a committee to secure speakers and to take charge of the work of holding Liberty Loan rallies. J. H. Trumbuu, R. R. Bennett and Rev. R. H. Burton were appoint ed to assume the responsibility of this work.
 Mrs. Edward H. Hills will take charge of the Women's committee on the house to house canvass, and will be allowed to choose her own assist ants.
 The members of the committee who were present at last nights meeting agreed upon September 2S, the open ing day of the drive. as a day upon which general rallies would be held and as a day for receiving voluntary subscriptions. Those who subscribe voluntarily upon that day will not be approached by solicitors at any time after that day. The places at which booths will be placed for voluntary subscriptions will probably be the Plainville Trust company, the post office, the factories, and one of the stores in town.
 One outstanding feature of the fourth loan is that while the pay ments may be made yon the weekly instalment plan, the first pawn ent must be ten per cent of the amount of the bond For instance, the initial payment on a fifty dollar bond will be five dollars, and on a hundred dollar bond will be ten dollars. The committee expects this provision to be a stumbling block which will be diff f1cult to overcome.
 Hearing on Donahuc Estate.
 Mrs. Anna Donahue of Elm Court has applied to the probate court that letters of administration may be granted on the estate represented in testate of the late Miss Anna T. Don ahue. The hearing will be held at the probate court on the twenty-fifth day of September at 10 a. m

A notice appeared in last nights Herald stating that all entries in the PlainVlllc Agricultural association fair must be sent in by Septemb Der 17.

Foraa of l Pine street by that tlfne. Although the date on the en- try blanks is September 17, the public
