Scoring firs t honors in Suffolk county in going " over the top " in its Liberty loan quota , Babylon is now well along the way toward doubliag its quota and has a strong desire to treble it , if possible. The quota of $173, 200 was reached on Satu rday night last , and as soon as we overtopped these figures Chairman Oliver H . Rogers of the Babylon com- mittee notified Chairman R. G. Page of the honor flag division of the Second federal reserve district loan committee , who at once sent the following letter to Mr. Rogers : Dear Sir: "We are in recei pt of your wire of the 6th instan t , advising us that Baby- lon has gone " over the top. " "We congratulate you on this fine showing and take pleasure in mailing to you today, under separate cover, your Honor flag. "It will gratify you to know that Babylon is the first town in Suffolk county that has earned the rieht to fly this flag. " Needless to say that as soon as the honor flag was received it was proudly floating above the committee head- quarters on Main street. A United States army motor lorry , now touring the Island in the in- terest of the Liberty loan , will be at the Babylon headquarters on Main street on Wednesday evening, Octobe r 16 , at 8:00 o ' clock. It carries a number of captured German war relics and in- cludes a French howitzer , goulash can- non , machine guns, gas masks, helmets, etc. One of Pershing ' s wounded soldiers , a Canadian trooper and a good spe aker will be with the outfit. Every - one is invited to see the wonderful ex- hibit and give the visiting warriors a royal welcome. " 7 At a Liberty loan rally in the assem- bly room of the Ukrainian society in Hawley avenue, West Islip, last Satur- day evening the Rev. E. J. Burlingham gave a stirring address and a group of boy and girl scouts sang patriotic songs. The members present signed the honor roll and the society did so as an organi- zation , while nearly every member has so far subscribed for Liberty Bonds. This speaks well for our new neigh- bors to the east. Up to noon today the total amount of subscriptions was $196, 450. While this is an excellent showing more sub- scriptions are needed , and Secretary McAdoo yesterday appealed to every- body to double their previous subscrip- tion in order to meet the six billions which the government needs now. In all Baby lon has enrol led 648 indivi- dual subscribers , but we are lagging in that respect , as in order to win the population percentage honor flag we must have at least 1 ,275 subscribers. Every member of each family is urged to enter their name as a subscriber. On Monday the boy scouts will begin their drive for subscription s, so be pre- pared to give them a hearty and sub- stantial greeting. TOWN TOPICS An unusual condition for this place was noted this week in the illness of three of our physicians. Doctor A. C. Rice, medical member of the exemp- tion board , was taken down with pneu- monia on Tuesday, and on Friday of last week Doctor Adelaide C. Whidden was reported sick with bronchial pneu- monia. Doctor W. E. Foster , who has been ill for the past seven weeks, was able to get outdoors yesterday and sit on the fron t stoop of his home. Mr. and Mrs. A. G. Rice came down yester- day from their home at Bello ws Falls, Vt., to see their son, Doctor Rice. Owners of automobiles should be careful as to the taking out of their cars next Sunday. There is a general impression that the " gaBless Sundays" were to continue for six weeks only, bnt the order of August 28 reads "to cease the use of automobiles, . motor- cycles and motorboats until further notice. " As no official order has been issued by the national fuel administra- tion countermanding the August 28 re- quest it is taken for granted that vehicles using gasoline most continue to remain idle on Sundays. It is well that Bahyloa is folly obey- ing the light-ess night order , as Mercer P. Moseley, chief of fuel conservation for New York state , says: "The order is imperative and everyone must obey 7- , it, aad that a single light in a window , y . or ' ottWde ot ' a boli( -Hw . - ;^* : . *^. j^Jv quired for safety i? as much BJB . i, ?*M ,^ii* ! ; tioa: of the Hgfafctegfl night order * B. . .

BABYLON LED ALLOTHERS IN SUFFOLK

Was First to "Go Over the Top"

in Its Liberty Loan Quota

Total Now Is $196,450

With 648 Subscribers.

Scoring firs t honors in Suffolkcounty in going "over the top" in itsLiberty loan quota, Babylon is now wellalong the way toward doubliag its quotaand has a strong desire to treble it, ifpossible.

The quota of $173,200 was reached onSaturday night last, and as soon as weovertopped these figures ChairmanOliver H. Rogers of the Babylon com-mittee notified Chairman R. G. Page ofthe honor flag division of the Secondfederal reserve district loan committee,who at once sent the following letter toMr. Rogers :Dear Sir:

"We are in receipt of your wire ofthe 6th instan t, advising us that Baby-lon has gone "over the top. "

"We congratulate you on this fineshowing and take pleasure in mailing toyou today, under separate cover, yourHonor flag.

"It will gratify you to know thatBabylon is the first town in Suffolkcounty that has earned the rieht to flythis flag. "

Needless to say that as soon as thehonor flag was received it was proudlyfloating above the committee head-quarters on Main street.

A United States army motor lorry ,now touring the Island in the in-terest of the Liberty loan , will be atthe Babylon headquarters on Mainstreet on Wednesday evening, October16, at 8:00 o'clock. It carries a numberof captured German war relics and in-cludes a French howitzer, goulash can-non , machine guns, gas masks, helmets,etc. One of Pershing's woundedsoldiers, a Canadian trooper and a goodspeaker will be with the outfit. Every-one is invited to see the wonderful ex-hibit and give the visiting warriors aroyal welcome. "7

At a Liberty loan rally in the assem-bly room of the Ukrainian society inHawley avenue, West Islip, last Satur-day evening the Rev. E. J. Burlinghamgave a stirring address and a group ofboy and girl scouts sang patriotic songs.The members present signed the honorroll and the society did so as an organi-zation , while nearly every member hasso far subscribed for Liberty Bonds.This speaks well for our new neigh-bors to the east.

Up to noon today the total amountof subscriptions was $196,450. Whilethis is an excellent showing more sub-scriptions are needed , and SecretaryMcAdoo yesterday appealed to every-body to double their previous subscrip-tion in order to meet the six billionswhich the government needs now.

In all Babylon has enrol led 648 indivi-dual subscribers, but we are lagging inthat respect, as in order to win thepopulation percentage honor flag wemust have at least 1,275 subscribers.Every member of each family is urgedto enter their name as a subscriber.

On Monday the boy scouts will begintheir drive for subscription s, so be pre-pared to give them a hearty and sub-stantial greeting.

An unusual condition for this placewas noted this week in the illness ofthree of our physicians. Doctor A. C.Rice, medical member of the exemp-tion board, was taken down with pneu-monia on Tuesday, and on Friday oflast week Doctor Adelaide C. Whiddenwas reported sick with bronchial pneu-monia. Doctor W. E. Foster, who hasbeen ill for the past seven weeks, wasable to get outdoors yesterday and siton the front stoop of his home. Mr.and Mrs. A. G. Rice came down yester-day from their home at Bellows Falls,Vt., to see their son, Doctor Rice.

Owners of automobiles should becareful as to the taking out of theircars next Sunday. There is a generalimpression that the "gaBless Sundays"were to continue for six weeks only,bnt the order of August 28 reads "tocease the use of automobiles, .motor-cycles and motorboats until furthernotice." As no official order has beenissued by the national fuel administra-tion countermanding the August 28 re-quest it is taken for granted thatvehicles using gasoline most continueto remain idle on Sundays.

It is well that Bahyloa is folly obey-ing the light-ess night order, as MercerP. Moseley, chief of fuel conservationfor New York state, says:"The orderis imperative and everyone must obey 7 - ,it, aad that a single light in a window , y
