Loan in BrattleborO Is
S40,050
EPIDEMIC MAKES
WORK DIFFICULT
Holden & Martin Factory Has 100 Per
Cent Record, Every Employe Taking
Bond-Statement by Executive Chair
man for New England.

Liberty loan subscriptions for Brattle-
boro were increased yesterday by S4O,-
050, making total of 1924, 500, accord
ing to tabulated returns made by the
banks to Town Chairman W. A. Shum-
way this morning.
A total of $40 subscribers were regis
tered for the day, which brings the total
for the three days since the launching
OF the loan up to 866, with an average
of approximately $3.50.
The work has been especially hard for
the canvassers, there being so much i'll
ness in many homes that there has not
been time for thought on the bond ques-
tion, and with the closing order of the
board of health it will be impossible
to hold any rally to arouse the enthu-
siasm of the citizens, but it is expected
that Brattleboro viii reach her quota
much before the time limit on the bond
sales.
The Reformer was notified this morn
ing that the Holden & Martin plant was
added to the list of 100 per cent fac
tories, each of the 10 employees having
subscribed for bond.
Executive chairman \. Penrose Hal
lowell OF Boston, OF the New England
loan committee, after analyzing the Fed
| eral Reserve Bank tabulatiuns yesterday,
expressed himself as follows regarding
| the necessity of looking the situation
squarely in the face:
The results of the first two days
campaign in New England as officially
tabulated by the Federal Reserve Bank
as at the close of business Monday
night showed a total of s67, ,l2S 900
divided, Saturdays figures, corrected,
S45 1916, 1000; Mondays figures $23 3,048,-
| 600.
"While this total of 100000 is a
| splendid days work, it is, nevertheless,
somewhat disappointing to the commit
tee in view of the great effort which has
been made to induce corporations and
individuals to subscribe early.
This total does not yet include the
Sl5000000 which we know the city of
| Worcester has subscribed. But even
making allowance for this. the days fig
ures should make every person in the
New England district realize that rails
ing total of $500. 100000 is no easy task
and that it viii need all the energy and
| ingenuity which we can muster to COM
plete cur work"

L. Nichols farm in West Guilford, which

FINE RESPONSE TO
EMERGENCY CALL
Many Signify Willingness to
Aid in Any Way
Possible
ABOUT 100 CASES
ARE QUARANTINED
Influenza Epidemic Far Less Serious
Here than in Some Vermont Towns
Over 1000 Cases Reported in Barre
Alone.

Returns from the results of the can
vass to secure helpers for the emergen-
cy created by the dearth of nurses are
coming in remarkably well and the
canvassers are finding a splendid spirit
of cooperation throughout the town
in the response which people are Civ
ing.
Expressions of willingness to do
" anything in my power have come
from great number. Many persons
have offered their services to prepare
food in their homes when the mate
rials are sent TO them; several have
volunteered to relieve the nurses for
two or three hours at a time, or to
care for children, while others have
volunteered to go to the emergency
hospital to assist in the kitchen.
Automobile owners have volunteered
the use of their cars in carrying work
ers at any time during the emergency
or 10 make other necessary trips.
The canvass is revealing the great
scarcity of nurses and many of those
/ who have offered their services in cases
| of illness do not want to serve in
homes where there are contagious dis
| eases, but all of these persons are iusti-
! fed in the position which they have
/ taken. as it is not the desire of the
committee in charge of the emergency
work to endanger the health of any
one or of any family, especially where
children are concerned.
/ Health Officer Henry Tucker stated
today that he had quarantined several
homes since yesterday afternoon, the
number now reaching about 100.
One patient has been admitted to
the emergency hospital today, he being
from out of town This makes 10 per
sons receiving care there and all but
one are doing as well as could be ex-
peeted. One of the men patients is
critically i'll with pneumonia and his
recovery is doubtful.
Reports from the northern part of
the state indicate that the disease is
much more widespread in that locality
than in this section According to
figures compiled by the health authori
ties in Barre last night there were
1000 eases in that city alone, while

Bellows Falls went into effect thi
morning as the result of a conferenc,

schools, theat2rs and churches, is pre-
