 AS far as is now known there is not a local man, who was in the service, who did not purchase as heavily as possible in bonds. The total mum Der of subscriptions which is 4,944 would credit every man, woman, and child in tho town wit h a bond and would leave several credited with more than one bond
 A. X. Mcleod, treasurer of the Plainville Trust company, was the f- nancial manager Of all the drives in the town and under his able direction the towns figures were available at all times. Mr. Mcleod this morning of fered the following in reference to the town and it's loan campaigns:
 'PlalnNille. as a community, and every Individual in the town, is to be cons graduated on the great success the town attained in all it's campaigns for the sale of bonds. The town cXceed- ed. and exceeded we'll, it's quotas in all drives. The results were obtained through the individual efforts Of every citizen in the town. Our Liberty Loan workers were received with cordial patriotism wherever and whenever they called in the town. That but tended to increase the enthusiasm of the workers and they worked with greater Zeal until they won success. The individual subscriptions were what the government called for and a look at the above figures will show that the people of this town strove more and more in each successive drive to obey the wishes of the gov crnment The men of the town who went and fought made a great and glorious record. The men who stayed at home. while unable to experience in person the horrors of war and crown themselves with fighting heroes laur- els, have made a fine record. and one which the town of Plainville will al- ways cherish and which will be the shining light of the future history of the toWn.'
 While MT. Mcleod mentions no in dividuals in connection with his thanks for success a word should be said in appreciation of the work Of the members of the loan com mittecS who labOred increasingly to uphold the. record of the town. The WOmen's committee did a splendid work, the publicity committee kept the public informed constantly as to the progress, the speakers committee in every campaign brought to the town men who were able speakers and who interested the people with their every word. The work is now done and many will forget it but in the towns history the deeds Of all the loan workers will be kept a perma-

Public Fountain Repaired.

Plumbers from the PlainVille Hard ware company were busily engaged this morning repairing the public fountain On Central Square for use by the public during the summer months. The fountain has been maintained for several years and was the gift of the w. C. T. L. for the publics use. For several years it has been customary to keep the fountains $ basin filled with ice thus making the water used by the people, ice cold. It is probable the same procedure will be followed this year

Banner Awarded Town for Going . Over Top in Fifth Loan Drive
BECKLEY GETS VICTORY FLAG
Congratulations Are Received from
 Washington-Owncr of kcnsinston and N. Y., W. H. and H. Railroad.

Berlin's honor flag for the five flying from the Berlin Savings bank building, which was the Kensington Headquarters for the campaigns The flag arrived in town yesterday and ~ was entrusted to Francis Demng, who was chairman during the drive acti- vities. There is much discussion among residents whether the flag is the one awarded to the town for going over the top in the Victory Loan drive. Many residents have made the asser- ton that the flag should be flown from the f1agpole at Kilby square, This. however, is a misunderstanding as the flag at the Berlin Savings bank is the one awarded to the town for it's good record in all five of the drives. It vilF be rem membered that all towns which went over their quota during the five drives will be awarded this flag by the Liberty Loan committee at Washington
 Mir. Deming reported this morning that the Victory Loan honor flag ar rived in town Monday morning and
 
 members of the local Liberty Loan committee, it was given to the Seldon school at Beckley and will be flown from the school fla agpole. Beckley was the only district which did not receive an honor flag and the fact that the | district made good showing during the last drive helped in winning the final flag.
 The Liberty Loan committee re- ported today that it is in receipt of a card of ngratulations from the Lib erty Loan committee headquarters at Washington congratulating the local [. committee on the good services ren- dered during the drives and stating that Berlin holds as good a record as any other town its size in the state.
 The entire receipts for the five loan drives turned in at local headouar1ers amounted to over half a million dol lars, which is considered a good show ing by local people, as there are onlv about 4.000 inhabitants in the entire town The three helmets which were given to East Berlin, Berlin and Ken

HARD DRINK? HERE
 IS A SOLID ONE! Prohibition Cocktail May Be
 Eaten With Spoon

New York, May 14.-Here it is a kick!
 The only difference between the new connection and the one heretofore passed over the mahogany is that you do not drink the new one. Instead you carve it and then eat it. You may use it as an appetizer or you may steam up on it as you would upon any ziezag beverage. All Brooklyn is talking about the new cocktail. Ii was served as an appetizer at the POlytechnic institute dinner at the Hotel Bossert Saturday night It was served as d patty-a small, muddy green patty-and after those present had sampled a few, they voted that pr. John N'. Olsen. the dis coverer, who is head of the chemistry department of the institute should become the most celebrated man in the world if there is no harm in "steaming up' with a knife and fork instead of a glass.
 The doctor yesterday said he would not disclose the formula of 'the relish with a kick" until he had con- suited his lawyer.
 The prohibition cocktail was in vented as novelty for the banquet" he explained, and I had no idea of ever using it again. But now a great and glorious opening has been scen Does the law specify drink? If it does, l hold the desire of a million men in my hands, for my invention is to be eaten, not drunk. If the law does not specify drink, but says 'intox- icant,' it is a case of 'thirst's labor lost
 'SincC tho banquet at which the 'cocktail' won so much popularity. have received many inquiries for the formula, but 1 know so little about the, dry law that I must wait until I have read it thoroughly. If the law spc- cifics drink, l have found a loopholc It was not intended as q Ioophole, but if the expected and desired interDreta- tion comes forward. my loophole is destined to fill long-felt want
 "Al I will say is that there is al- cohOl in this cocktail. The remainder of the formula may some day be the means of fame and fortune for mo It would be foolish to give it away now.
 "Bcsides, there is the Nineteenth Amendment to cope with. appeal to the lawyers of Brooklyn. Define tho law, define il my way. if possible. and soon tho formula for the prohibition cocktail, the drink that is not drunk but which can mako one drunk. will be given 10 the thirsty world."

Record of Town is Second to \o,,c Mcleod, Manager of Each c.,, pai2H, Has Seen Hard WorI<cr- Other Interesting News Items

During the entire period of the war the town of Plainvillc has loaned to the government, through the medium of Liberty bonds only, the total of S715,000. It should be understood that the amount is for bonds only and includes only those purchased in this town. Local people purchased thou- sands of dollars worth in other vari- ous factories, etc, which this town. has not been credited with and which would raise the amount considera blv. In all five campaigns for a loan of money to the government. this town proved itself equal to the task and oVerSubscrlbed every timc The first loan quota was named at $3G,OOO. It was honestly believed that there was not that amount of money in the town to be loaned. When the cam paiGn had closed the town had not only given that amount but had sub scribed for a total of $55,OOO worth of bonds.

Real Estate Sales Continue.

Plainville's real estate boom as in nCignbOrinG towns and cities, is not abating but rather would seem to be on the increase. An important sale was reported yesterday when it was learned that tho large two tenement Healy homestead on Canal street has been sold to George Bentley. It is considered ono of the best sales thus far reported. MT. Bentley had been tenant in the house for many years and was given the first opportunity to purchase. Other sales of homes have been numerous and it would seem that all the local people are selling their property There is, however, no relief in the matter of tenemcnts due to the fact that no building is going on. The sales of property merely mean a transfer of ownership and do not aid the congestion of ten cments or their scarcity in the least.

Gratifying to local people is tho resumption of it's old time schedule by the Bristol Mfg. Co. at it's local plant. The factory now works nine hours d day and five days a week. It is possible that five and a half days may be forthcoming within a short time. The reaction after the war hurt tho local factorN's business, which is the manufacture Ol. knit underwear. For some time the factory worked but four days a week and the young wom- on were of the opinion that worse times would come.
