WOULDN'T BUY BOND
 BY INSTALLMENTS
One Patriot Not Anxious to Help
 Uncle Sam Win the War.
PLAINVILLE MUST BRACE
Prizes Awarded at Agricultural Fair Announced and Plans for Achieve Influnza Reported.

The canvassing of the town for sub scriptions to the Fourth Liberty Loan began last evening, but reports of the first day are not available. The chairman of the committee reports that progress is slow. Those who have limit if the quota is to be reached. The attention of subscribers is called to the fact that the Plainville Trust company and the factories are taking subscriptions on the weekly install ment basis. One stacker said that he didn't know that bonds could be bought on the instalment plan. When it was explained to him he said he didn't believe in buying anything on the instalment plan. That is the way not to raise the quota. The plan makes 1t easy for most people to subscribe.
 The splendid news from the fight ing men at the front should stimulate patriotism, and help to clinch the re- suits over there. The war is far from ended and the money will be needed. There is nearly $50,O00 to be raised. Canvass for the Belgian Refugees.
 The canvass for the Belgian refugee clothing was in progress this after noon. Two members of the com nittee are Mrs. Conrad Kicker, and Mrs. Irving ScoVille. If anyone is not ready for the canvass, contributions may be brought to the Red Cross rooms. Beware of those collecting without authority. One man at tempted that, but disappeared when he was reported to the police.
