! While in keeping with advance esti-
mates the number of men registered in
Brattleboro Thursday as compared with
registration in adjoining towns shows
pretty plainly to what extent we have
been drained temporarily of Kan
power. Brattleboro's registration was
a few less than that of Rockingham
and little more than a third of that
of Greenfield. This situation should
be kept in mind by those charged with
the responsibility of assigning Liberty
loan quotas.
