 Here is an idea which we hope may | be helpful to you in these closing days of the campaign. President Wilson up to yesterday had subscribed for all the bonds he could well afford, but he said, upon representation that a great many who had subscribed could 1 buy one more $50 bond by paying for it on the instailment plan, that he would purchase another $50 bond, paying S5 down and S5 per month. if one million Amerieans would match him.
 Much credit for this fine record is | due Mrs. F. $. Condie, and her as sistant, Mrs. William Johnstone. also Miss Bertha Lewis of Voluntown and Mrs. W, B. Montgomery of Griswold. | Appointed by State Regent. Mrs. Raymond T.
