 GOO Will be Shown Under Auspices of Liberty Loan
 Committee
@@0

The people of this community are to have an opportunity to see for the first time motion pictures of the great world war on Friday evening. The films are being brought here by the Liberty Loan Committee and consist of four reels of pictures talk en on the battlefelds of Europe.
 Aside from their educational value these pictures will show conditions which actually existed in France and will bring to the people of this town as nothing else can, some of the. ex- periences through which our soldiers have passed. There will be no charge for admission to this exhibi- tion, but children under sixteen will not be admitted unless they are ac- companied by their parents.
 Another feature of the program will be musical selections by Miss Pauline Brown and Miss Neva Bierly of Toledo, Ohio, who have just re- turned from the battlefields where they entertained our soldiers with their musical instruments. Miss Elizabeth Peirce has also consented to render vocal selections.
 In addition to first-class moving picture show, the committee has se- cured a speaker from Hartford who will have many interesting things to tell. Every one is cordially invited to come to the town hall on Friday evening at eight o'clock and see these pictures which cost you nothing and which you would gladly pay to see otherwise.

 @0@ Every One Must Help If Quota Is To Be
 Reached
GOO

The Victory Liberty Loan cam paign is tagging somewhat and if this town is to secure its quota It will be necessary for everyone to put their shoulder to the wheel and help.

 Many persons here have pledged to take a certain number of bonds who have not yet made the first payment and these we are asked to remind that the sooner this is done, the more we will have to report. Actual subscriptions now total $31,OOO by 1O3 subscribers. Num- bers count in this campaign and the small subscribers are the ones most needed.
 F All those loan subscribers who buy another bond during the final days of the Victory loan drive are re- ceiving the insignia of the Yankee Division, in accordance with the plan announced by the New Eng land Liberty loan committee. This insignia is in the form of I'D em- blem, finished in red and worn in connection with the Liberty loan button.
 The emblems are not buttons and have no connection with the I'D buttons being sold by returned soldiers, but are a special insignia of honor to denote that the sub scriber is a member of the Yankee Division in Finance, having increased his original subscription, intent on his own community finishing the job" and finishing it we'll,
 The Victory loan campaign con- 'ucted by the school, children of Connecticut has produced especially .yia atlfying results, according to. an- lclncement made today by Mrs Morgan G. Bulkeley, Chairman of

 Dear Sir:-I thank you for your courtesy in so promptly answering my inquiry of recent date, and I think an explanation is due you in the matter. I have been advertising for sale some property I have here, in the New York papers (about as shown in ad' attached to this sheet 1 above) during the past two years. l About two weeks since I received through the mail letter signed Association for Protection of Berk- shires", which contained no address or signature (but was postmarked Great Barrington) and which ac- cused me of fraudulent advertising and misrepresentation in using the word Berkshire" in my ad, and threatening to call the attention of the postoffice department, etc, to the matter if I did not stop the ad. The tone of the letter is abusive and libelous, and I wished to identify the author, and happily thought of try ing to do so through you. am to- day in receipt of a letter from Chamber of Commerce., Great Harrington, which is equally insult ing and now wish to ask you to add to your favors already extended by informing me if this c. of c. is an incorporated body, if it is financially responsible, and that you give me the name of a reputable attorney-at- law in Great Harrington, one who has no affiliation with the officers of. the Chamber of Commerce" and who is reliable. For your informa- tion 1 will say that this section of the country is commonly known as Lower Berkshire Hills or Berkshire Hills or Foot Hills of the Berkshires, years, in fact, so to speak, always, 50 there is no fraud, etc., in my ad, and I am clearly within my rights in aording my ad as l do, but the "real .estaters" in your town are net with in their rights when they send abu- sive,. threatening libelous letters through the mails, especially when they are anonymous. Thanking you again for your courtesy and hoping for an early reply, I am

working out the plans, dies and
everything, he showed the govern
ment men the plant at work, turning
out Eagle boats on the volume plan
one boat following another, being
put together as 1t crept along on the
conveyer, arriving completed, at the
end of the building, where it moved
off into the canal that led out into
the Detroit river. He set dredges
to work to cut the canal three-quart-
ers of mile long because he could
not build the Eagle boat factory on
the river bank. The Eagle boats are
about 200 feet long and when
launched are ready to receive the
propelling machinery. If the war had
lasted, he would have been turning
out a slow stream of them, ready for
service.
The builders of autos all say they
cannot reduce the prices of cars for
good while yet, because their ma
terials were bought at high tide, and
they are paying high wages and ex-
pect to for some time. To avoid dis
turbing either business or labor, they
have agreed that prices must be kept
steady, and reductions must be grad
ual. Then those who are pinched
will have time to adjust themselves
without much injury. The main
thing is to keep everybody employed,
and they cooperate between the
factories to put every returning SOL
dier to work the day he applies If
they can.

2O-Paynent Life
2O-Year Endowment

In comparing the above rates with
those of private companies, an aver
age of Is per cent Of the premium
should be added to private company
annual rates, 10 per cent on account
of monthly premium basis of gov
eminent policies and 8 per cent on
account Of government disability
clause. II an annual premium is
paid to private company and death
occurs during the year no return of
premium Is made. If an annual pre-
MUM is paid under government
policy and death occurs all of the
premium, except current month, is
refunded. It will therefore be no
ticed that the government rate under
converted policies will average about
80 per cent below the rate Of partic-
ipating private companies. The low
rate provided by the government and
the special disability clause is
granted only to soldiers and sailors
holding regular term policies issued
under the war risk act, the govern
ment assuming all expenses.
7. Converted policies will partici-
pate in dividends earned from any
morality or interest savings. These
dividends may be used to reduce pre-
miums or accumulate at compound
interest.

about these cars, points that could
not be pointed out by the average
owner himself and so when any
certain make of car has some distin-
gushing feature, such as beauty in
outward appearance or in some par
ticular accomplishment of it's power
plant, this feature impresses itself
not only upon the mind of the school
boy, but likewise upon the mind Of
the prospective buyer, and becomes
a determining factor in the final Sc
lection.
"The engineering, manufacturing
and managing heads of automotive
plants turnout the country have been
watching the pulse Of the buying
public to find out What do they
want?' What are they buying?'
What is the trend of public opin-
ion?' We believe their answer will
be found in the lighter, yet just as
strong, just as efficient, yet more
cheaply operated passenger or bust
ness car" adv.

upon the American experience table
of mortality, with interest at ~
per cent, figured upon monthly
basis. All expenses of the bureau are
paid by the government, thereby
permitting the net rate. This means
that the monthly net rate will aver
age Is per cent below similar rate
in participating private companies.
5. Policies will contain a waiver
of premiums and total disability
clause making the policies payable
at any time that the insured becomes
totally and permanently disabled, re-
gardless of his age. No policy in a
private company contains similar
clause running beyond the age Of
sixty-five. An average rate of per
cent would have to be charged for
such a policy in private companies.

tended insurance is guaranteed in

10. All policies are payable in
