ONLY FIVE HORSES LEFT
 IN FIRE DEPARTMENT.
"Jeff' and "Jfm" of West Side Station
 Replaced by Auto Apparatus.

But five horses now remain in the Norwich fire department since the new combination chemical and hose wagon went into use on Tuesday at the West Side station, replacing the pair of grays that had been used there on the chemical wagon.
 Jeff and "Jim' were the two horses that passed out of the fire service lifnelight after many years of faithful work in answering alarms. They were Norwich fire horses from the ground up, having been purchased when they weer four or five years old and brought .here practically green horses, so that they got their whole fire training from the Norwich department and did their whole fire service in this city. Now they will pass to quieter pursuits, hay ing been traded in few days ago in the negotiations by which the new piece of apparatus was secured.
 There remain now three horses on the truck at the Central fire station and two horses at the Falls on Chem ical No. 3. At the present price of feed, it is costing many times what is used to to keep the horses, Chief Stan ton remarked on Tuesday night. In the long time that he has been connected with the Norwich fire department he has seen oats go from s1.G5 to $36O per bag and hay from $14 to $50 a ton. These high figures are what it cost for the last feed bought here

Norwich Subscribes $1,O17 4OO-With Four Days to Go $234,0OO is Needed to Reach -Quota-Means $5S,5OO Daily for Rest of Week-5 5645tSubecrptions to Date

Norwich went over the million dollar mark Tuesday in the Liberty loan drive for $1,251, 400 and at the close Of banking on Tuesday the fgurRs read
 S1, ,017 400, which, while it is very good showing, is not considered enough for Norwich. The number of subserip- tions is 5,645, which is an excellent
 showing, and when Norwich goes over
 the top the credit will be due to the
 men of small means. as it has been
 these that have been backing. the
 present loan and not the man of wealth
 who has been satisfied with shouting
 and not subscribing.
 It is now time for the man who likes
 to appear big in the public eye yet
 keeps one hand on his purse strings to loosen up and do something to war
 rant this false credit that has been given him. There are many men who are known to be hanging back on this Liberty loan question who are able to subscribe for large amounts, and it is up to them to make good.
 At the Davis theatre on Tuesday evening the subscriptions received amounted to $550. John H. Barnes was the speaker and subscriptions were ] Marion Swan and Miss Elsie Bogue The Auditorium made no report Mrs P. H. Hartman was in charge an6 1 Herman Alofsin was the barker The Breed theatre, where Mrs. F. T. Dig gins and Mrs. E. A. Learned were ir charge. had subscriptions that amount el to $200
 With only four days to go, an6 l $234,000 to raise, Norwich has got te 1 get busy and subscribe on an average 1 of $60,000 a day. Norwich can do it I if only the rich stacker will quit slack ing and show that he is a patrio. \ with his poeletbook.

 It is hoped that this increase will be but temporary, for, as soon as conditions warrant, the price will be reduced

SCHWARTZ BROS, Home Talks No. 3

W here with the idea that we hold any strings on our CREDIT, or that it is in any way difficult to obtain. In fact, we go to extremes in removing every possible obstacle from the path Of those seeking to have and to enjoy the comfort and pleasure of their own home.
 To show you how simple and easy it is. we need but .cite an instance that occurred here the other day.
 Mrs. T. Hanson, just returned from her honeymoon, came to the conclusion that what she and John wanted was a home. John wasn't consulted especially, be- cause, manlke. he had reasoned it all out beforehand. and made up his mind that on his not too abundant salary, it would be foolish to expect one.
 Not so Mrs. T. Hanson, she went to one or two of the more conservative concerns, who wanted the earth. for security and a mortgage on that, before allowing her to pay fifty per cent. more than necessary on whatever she undertook to purchase. It looked little dis couraging.
 Then one afternoon she came here-and before she left had selected the entire furnishings for a six-roofn apartment, brought John over the same evening to bind the bargain, and the next day went out and picked her apartment. That's the way we do busi- ness here-take everybody on trust and help them get settled without any ifs" lands" or buts." The red tape went out of this store years ago and never came back. All you have to do \ is come and order. We're ready whenever you are,
