By Investing Big Wage Surplus in
Liberty Bonds Will Prove Patriotism.
Mill workers here will be urged to
subscribe for the second issue of Lib
erty bonds and thereby- lend material
support to , the gpvernment that is
heading them in the fight for democ
racy. Mill employes in this vicinity
are earning more money now than has
ever been possible before In the in
dustry in New England. The unusual
ly high wages are due to the world
war. While it is recognized that the
cost of living is high, it. is also a well
known fact that hundreds of mill
workers are saving a nice margin over
their expenses each week. It is a part
of this surplus that the Liberty loan
committee will seek .to have them in
vest in Liberty bands, as splendid a 4
per. cent, security as ever has been
offered in America or any ofher land.
It is hoped to place many thousand
dollars' worth of bonds amony the
loyal mill workers of the town of
Killingly and surrounding towns.

the home farm, in the cellar, a fine
herd of cows, providing pure milk and
cream aid plenty of the ricltest but

parents and placed there as wards or
the state and county.
The children attend the nearby
Sawyer district school, which is a part
of the town of Putnam school system,
