was a Cambridge visitor yesterday,
and while here announced that the
State would invest 100000 of its
Sinking Fund, and $4,000 of the

the Fourth Liberty Loan. Of these
sums, 100000 will be subscribed in

Miss Mollie c. Leonard, who is
in charge of the Home Service Work,
is badly in need of a motor messen-

The amount of the subscriptions to
the Liberty Loan at the big meet
ing at the Armory yesterday amount
ed to nearly s150,000, which was
not so bad, after all. AS will be
seen elsewhere in this paper, the
Fork Election district, district No. l,

One hears so many persons saying,

were strong and healthy, unmarried,
with no dependents, but certainly the
