have lost much of their humor. yet
there may be d thin vein of mirtI, in
the following incident which occurred
in one Of the local factories where
women are working to increase the
production of gas masks for the
American army. The woman in qUes-
ton has nimble fingers and while she
was thus industriously engaged her
equally nimble tongue kept up a rapid
fire of talk with her fellow workers.
Suddenly, as she clipped d, piece Of
wire gauze, used in her work a thin
piece flew. At tho crucial moment
she opened her mouth to speak and

Loan your money for Liberty

The Liberty Bond campaign is now
on in earnest in New Britain and all
loyal citizens look FOR the city 10 eN-
coed its allotted amount. But to do
this everybody has got to do his and
her part In q financial way. When
one stops to reflect and seriously con-
siders wha; the hundreds of New
Britain boNs, in common with those
all over the country, are doing they
must certainly loosen up on their
purse strings and loan their money to
Uncle Sam. Loaning money to Uncle
Sam at Il IA per cent. rate of in
tcrest is no sacrifice, it is not doing
your blt'' because it is only a business
investment. Those who stay at homo
oftimc think they are having a ter
lible time because they have to cat
bread made from a lower grade Of
Hour, or because the price of wooden
garments have increased, or because
they are asked to buy War Savings
Certificates, Thrift Stamps or Liberty
Bonds AS a matter of fact what
what they are doing is as nothing
compared to what the boys in the ser
vice are doing. The fathers, brothers
and sons who are now in France are
doing everything. They are offering
their lives, they are giving their lives
and if they return what Is their re-
ward? Virtue is it's own reward and
these men. on returning, Will have
ONLY an opportunity to begin their
life work all over again. Many will
have to start at the bottom and many
Will BE-, unable to start at all. That is
