DANIEL SON
 A canvass of different sources of information ;n DanieIsen Sunday seem cd to establish the fact that the epi- demic of illness here is on the wane. There are a few cases of patients be- ing seriously i'll, hut the general con- 'dition is improved and the worst seems to be over. One of the borough's physicians mentioned having had nine patients in one family, but alf are now well or getting we'll. All were sick at the sames time
 Today is annual town meeting day in the town of Killingiy and the polls in the town hall building will open at 9 o'clock this morning. So far as was generally known up to Sunday afternoon there are no ffhts of ballots scheduled over the filing of town of f1cers, in the sense that there will be sharp contests between representa- tives of different parties on the tick cts, but, of course, the republicans will strive to retain their majority repre- sentation. and no one questions that they will be able to do so
 The vote on the license question furnishes the keenest interest, es- pecially for the dry" forces. There isn't any question but that they have their best chance to win in years, but they will be obliged to hustle for the desired result, for the license forces while making no advance campaign, will be getting out the vote today and hoping for victory, where hope seems almost futile.
 Over in Brooklyn this week there will be 8 speeding up of the cam paign to get that towns people en- rolled as buyers of bonds of the fourth Liberty loan. As in many other towns, the people are tagging and there are some who are willing to '1et George do it." Every dollar that can be pried away from even the most conservative of possessors is wanted Six billions is a tremendous amount of money and if that much is to be subscribed there can be no stacker dollars-everybady who has the mon cy CT who can earn it within the next three or four months must buy a bond CT be rated as unworthy the name of American.
 In the endeavor to raise the 1000 that is Brooklyn's quota the Woman's committee of the town, Miss Mabel Dyer, chairman, Miss Florence M. Blake, secretary, is doing noble work. This committee has a booth on the green and will continue to receive subscriptions there daily until Wed nesday, when the house to house can- vass is to begin.
 They are anxious to make a good record this week and hope to sell many bonds at the station on the green to the patriotic people of their town. After prayer service, the funeral of Miss Sarah ]. Putnam was held from her home on Reynolds street, on Saturday, with a service at St. Al bans church at One o'clock Rev. Albert Jepson, the rector, conducted | the service. Burial was in Old Trinity 1 churchyard, Brooklyn. The bearers were William Perkins, Kenneth Ham, ilton, D. H. Reach and Waldo Blake A. F. Wood was the funeral director This week brings the opening of the Liberty loan drive in Killingly. It will be a period of intensified work The lean organization here in Kill ingly is working smoothly, but the 1 speed at which subscriptions are being received is not satisfactory. Many who can buy bonds, and who ] may do so later, are tagging The time has arrived for them to come for ward. Killingly has a long way to go
 
 s400,000. There should be for KiIlingiy | people a sort of bucline-up effect when they read that the adjoining town | Of Plainfeld, with an apportionment | of S1S5,000 has gone over the top and | is now piling up it's excess of sub | scriptions. In the big manufacturing 1 plants of Killingly a canvass of op- eratives is being made and many sub scriptions have been obtained. Not a heavy percentage are doubling up however, their previous subscriptions as it has been officially suggested they should do.
 Some persons subscribed so heavily l for bonds of previous loans that they have exhausted their resources and are not in position to keep up their good work, so it is up to those who | haven't taxed their resources to come ] forward and help make the fourth loar 2 success.
 One of the big subscriptions re- ported in the Danielson district is | $10000 by the Lawton Mills of Plain | field, where there fEee some of the best work organizations in the coun- try.
