QUOTA PROBABLY DOUBLED.
Although S,5oo Was Asked For, It is Confidently Expected to Secure $15,o0o.

Red Cross workers were elated on Sunday over the remarkable results achieved during the drive of the past week in the towns that make up the district. Sundays tabulations show ed a total of $13,024 in subscriptions, but this figure is not the final one, for theer are in subscriptionsheFt- -fi- for there are more contributions to come in. Dr. F. A. Libby voiced the feeling of many of the workers when he stated, Sunday afternoon that he will be disappointed if the final fig ures for the district are not $15,000 or better.
 Money came in streams Saturday, when a special effort to pile up a big over subscription was underway here, and it is not expected that the streams of silver and gold will entirely dry up for several days to come.
 The city of Putnam alone contrib uted s2.167 during Saturday. This was great work for Putnam, which has
 been more than 100 per cent. on the job in every campaign that has been made necessary by the war, whether the demand was for men, money, ma teriaJs or willing workers. The peo- pie of the district will share with the
 workers in the joy that comes of have surpassed all expectations in
 meeting the Red Cross appointment
 and ambition scars high now to
 double the amount that the district was asked for-$7 800.
 Every town in the district-Putnam Thompson, Pomfret, Woodstock, East ford, Ashford, parts of the town of Kil!ingly-have exceeded the amount allotted to them to raise with the ex- ception of Eastford it was stated on Sunday, but reports from Eastford gave encouragement that the town would go over the top on Sunday. To- days reports will show.
 The giving here has been surprising ly generous. It has been easier tc get what has been obtained in this drive than it was to secure the much lesser amount subscribed in last falls Red Cross drive, and this is believed to be due to the fact that all now realize that we are engaged in serious l business; that fine young men are l lighting and dying in France for those
 who stay at home and that it is III to those who live in safety and com. l fort to give without stint that there l may be TO unnecessary suffering alons l the front lines or anywhere that sol.

 Trouble Day on the Electric Road. l ''It never rains but it pours" seemed to have special application Saturday l to the string of little mis adventures 1 that happened along the trolley line. !

Shumway, still later pole supporting the overhead work broke off and fell across the tracks in Wa 1 ter street and man was injured by leaving a car, .it was stated, before l the car had come to a full stop. All 1 of these little difficulties, over which there could be no control. made 1t diff l ffcuh for the officials to maintain theii
 schedules of cars, but there was very little interruption of service, consid- ering the handicaps placed in the way of smooth operation.
