THOSE WHO BOUGHT
Freeport Did WeU and
Showed Great
Patriotism
Stimulated by the untiring efforta and unlimited enterprise of Chair¬ nian Alfred T. Davison and his com¬ mittee SRSOciatea and aaslstanl.s of the local Liberty Loan Committee. Freeport citizens and residents d.-tii- onslftted in the recent campaign. beyond a qiicHtion of a doubt, ttiiir ability lo do the riKhl thing at the riicht time. Never can there hc any doubt of the whole-hearted pntrlotlc aplrlt which pcrvadea the cotninunily when it Ih known that over HiHO in¬ dividuals, men, women and cliil.lrcn, siih.scrlhed over $;{8:!,0r)O toward the last Liberty l^ian. Tho aiihscriplion avoraKcd ahout $228 to a person.
The quntii allotted lo Kreeport w,-i.s J382,000, a very lar>;o amount, but Freeport assumed the rcsponsihillty with a determination to fulliil its ob¬ ligations, and to do it creditably. Tho local Liticrty Loan Comniittc, of which Mr. Davison was made chairmiin, was appolnti^d hy tho Governor of the Kederal Reserve Board of Now York, and consisted of Messrs. S. R. Smith, Itosweli 1),\- vlB, C. Milton Foreman, U .G. An¬ derson, J. K. Kldrldge, William S, HaU. Elvin N. Edwards, Sinith F. Poaraall, Ward ('. Moon, George M. Hewlett, ot Merrick; Harry W. Hee- be and Peter Johnson, of Rellmore. This committee was ably assiiitcd by many of the prominent citizens of tihe village, including Edward F. Cook, Judfje C. M. Flint, W. G. Mil¬ ler, Fred K. Story, J. Huyler Klli¬ .son, KdKar Jackson, Charles .M. Ilau and others.
The memhcrri of the coiiiinltteo Kenerously bespeak the cottrage with wrbich .Mr. Davison mu stored hia forces, planned out his campaign and carried his forces on to victory. And it v.tiii a trenicndoiia victory, for Freeport was one of tli" icw l.,onK Island villagcB which ovorsuh- Bcrlhed its niiota. The town and aurrounding villages were literally plastorcd with jiosters and .^Ign.s. The village w.as divided into districts and thoroughly canvassed. ' The students In the schools were addressed and atimulated to encourage their par¬ ents to buy bonds. The audiences in the moving picture shows were ad¬ dressed and ur^cd to subscribe, anl not a stone 'was left unturned to make the canapaign a success. Vh't work of the Boy Scouts is mo.st no'c- worthy and the metropolitan news-, papers have announced that th;' Scouts of Freeport hold the record on l.ong Island for selling honds.
Mr. Davison and his coinniittee were ably assisted hy the ladies of the village not only through their liberal suiiscriptions, hut through in¬ dividual canvass and solicitation and in their aid of the routine office work. The memhers of Mr ,Davi- Hon's own family were most generous and liberal tn their efforts to aid in the work.
One of the features of the cain'^aioi wasi the huge honor roll lists wniih were posted at the railroiid statu nw and in the drug stores. Kvcrybodv seemed to want to liave Iheir lamo on the list.
On the evening of Oclobcr 'it a nion.ster open aii meeting was heii at the Fi.cport Cluh aud was ably addressed by l/Oiii.-t Kutner. Hefore the meeting liiiinlrcds ol' villagers, and the Hoy Scouts, licadml hy the hand of ilic li;7ih Alahiiiua Ivcgiuim', paraded liic si reels. In Uicir canvas.-; work tlic mcmliers of tlic coitinrttcii were often aii-otiipaiiii'd hy incmbcrH of the '. I'liiy 1 colli t'aiiip Milla.

WANT MORE FARM HELP EXEMPTED
OBJECT TO DRAFT
Long Island Farmers
Say They Cannot Raise
Needed Crops
<Co«tlBued OB Page 4.)
Nassau Cotinty fanners helieve that undue demands are heing made upon thrir farm help by the Government In conscripting men from the farms for military service. While exemp- thms have been granted in some in¬ stances to farmers and the time ex¬ tended before they are compelled to KO into the draft camps, the mem¬ bers of the .Nassau County Farm Bu¬ reau who met at the Court House on Siiiiirday last believe that further ex¬ tensions ought to he made by the Draft Hoard.s, especially during the liai'vesting season, and the feeling Is prevalent among the faiincrs that if the farm handa conllnue to he draft¬ ed and forced into the service aa rap¬ idly aa they bave been during the past summer and fall that the out¬ look for large crops next year will 1)0 gloomy and that a widespread cur¬ tailment of tilling the farms will re- suit.
Prompted by this belief, the mem¬ hers of the Bureau appointed a com¬ mittee of seven to frame a resolution •setting forth the present conditions and future outlook for farmers in the county with respect to the effect that con.scriplon has had upon thei* ac¬ tivities.
The resolution will be presented to the Eastern District Board, to Pro¬ vost Maishal Crowder and Food Com¬ misaioner Herbert Hoover. It reads as follows:
"At a meeting of one hundred anfl Bixtytwo farmers of .Nassau County, called hy the Nassau County Farm Buieau Association and held in tho Court House, Mineola, Saturday, Oc-. tober 20th, 1917, the following action was taken:
"\VTiereas, on account of a threat¬ ened decrease in food production in IMS. due to the action of the Gov- ii nnient in drafting farmers for mii¬ il ;iry service, and
"Whereas, this action is seriously hinriei'liig the harvesting and market- iii'A of the present crop, Ijccause of the taking of fanners' sona and ex¬ perienced help, and
"Whereas, the general feeling of farmers in Nassau County is that they will not till the usual acreage in irtl8, due to the above threatened ac¬ tion, and
"Whereas, these - farmers are not purchasing seed and fertilizer for 1918 crops;
"Therefore, he it reaolved, that the Eaatern District Federal Board give further consideration to the condi¬ tions and give greater extension of titne, than that now being granted, to experienced farm laborers who con.sist not only of men who till land, but also men who drive the trucks and market the products. As¬ sistance of this character, we be¬ lieve, will aid in remedying these unsettled conditioni^^ which now pre- .vail."
OPEN DllESS FACTOKY
Messrs. A. and L. Brand, well known in New York (Mty as the iiicni- bcra of the firni of Brand Brothers, under the trade name of The Pagge Dress Company, have opened a l>ranch factory in Freeport on the top floor of the Hanse Hiiildlns', on Railroad Avenue, Frceporl. In the coliiiiiiiH of this newspaper this week th'^- are ;idvcr1isiiig for young la¬ dies viviio iire anxious to learn the trade.
These pcorile come to Freeport W( 11 recoiiiiin^iuled. ittid if they are ahle to cai'iy out their plans will i'iive one of the finest establlshmenc. ill Freeport.

CONSTABLES TOLD TO GET THE DOGS
A BIG PROBLEM
All Fees Must Be Turn¬ ed In to the Town Treasurer.
Constable George S. Smith, of Hempstead, is "up a tree," an the say¬ ing goes, not because he was forced into that position by any angry un¬ licensed dog that might have antici¬ pated seizure and possible death at hia hands, hut because George would like to know how, with all his ka- If .dostopic duties, he can And time to seize and impound the unlicensed animals and also how he can gee ex¬ tra pay for assistants if he la com¬ pelled to hire them to carry out the provisions of the law which says that upon receipt of warrants from the Justices of the Peace the constables and policemen of the townships In the state shall seize and Impound all unlicensed dogs.
Constable Smith got his warrants from Justice Jone^ nearly a month apo and so did the police oflicers in Hempstead Village. As far as could be learned. Justice Jones is the first one to issue the warrants up to date. However, neither Smith nor tbe po¬ lice officers have taken any of the un¬ licensed canines. The oflficers have lieen wailing for word from the De¬ partment of Agriculture at Albany as to just what is expected of them, how much they were to be alloweci for their services and v.^here they were to take the dogs after seizure. These three questions were answer¬ ed on Wednesday last In a letter which Smith received from George I„. Flanders, counael to the Depart¬ ment of Farms and Markets of the State Division of Agriculture. Smith admitted to being dog-gone mad al¬ ter he had read the letter, and erai.- ted a growl that would make the most ferocious watch dog turn green wi'h envy. George took the letter to the Town Hall with him ,'.o next day, and afer circling around Town Cleik Gilbert's table, took a last snap at the epistle and turned it over to the Town Clerk, with the remark that he does not want to be a protomartyr for any dog laVs that place exces¬ sive burdens on the constablea.
This is what Counselor Flanders wrote in part: "It is provided that

Next Tuesday. November f.tli, is FJlectlon Day In Nassau County A statement of Ihia kind is usually quite tinnecesaary, but the campaign this year has been so serene and peaceful, as far as ll effects this lo¬ cality, ns to cause many to say. "Whose running" and "When do I vote?"
In the Town of Hemp.stead voters cast ballots for Attorney General of the State, two Associate Justic*s nf the Supreme Court, and a Member of Assembly. The iiaiiies of th !{•'- publican candidates are printed at the head of onr editorial column anrl Incidentally their election Is taken for granted.
But It la PR'flential for every loyal nepiihlican to get to the jii'lls t-arly in the day and help swel^ the ma¬ jority. The polls wiil open at ti a. ni. and close af 5 p. m.
Thomas A. McWhinney, of Lawr¬ ence, is candidate for r«>-election. He i'i the best leKi.^'.lator the county ever had. and thia district considers It a privilege to re-elect him.
It would be a mark of respect for the Town of Heiupstearl to cast a tremendous vote for Merton E. Lewis for Attorney General of the State,
BANK EMPLOYEES TO BE COMMENDED
The eflSciency and resourcefulness of the office force In the First Na¬ tional Bank at Freeport could not have been demonstrated to a greater advantage than during the Liberty Bond Cmpaign of the last few weeks. Over 1208,000 worth of bonds wero .subscribed for through thia hnnk, and unless one is familiar with the methods they have no idea of the tremendous amount of work which this entailed.
But the work was handled with unusual rapidity and absolute accu¬ racy. It was often necessary, dur¬ ing the last week of the campaign, for the clerks to go without meals, to work from early morning to nine and ten o'clock at night, and to spend part of Sunday in the bank finishing the detail work. Every sacrifice was made cheerfully and gladly, and is worthy of what little commendation this newspaper can give.
The office force of the hank con¬ sists of W. F. Kraft, Jr., assicitiint cashier; Miss Mary B. Davia, head bookkeeper; Edward Hemming, pay¬ ing teller, and Miss Katherine Gol¬ der, Bradford Raynor and Mervin Golden.

FRIDAY NOVESSBER 2. 1917 ONE DOLLAR PER YKAR OVER.SUBSCRIBED THE LIBERTY LOAN THOSE WHO BOUGHT Freeport Did WeU and Showed Great Patriotism Stimulated by the untiring efforta and unlimited enterprise of Chair¬ nian Alfred T. Davison and his com¬ mittee SRSOciatea and aaslstanl.s of the local Liberty Loan Committee. Freeport citizens and residents d.-tii- onslftted in the recent campaign. beyond a qiicHtion of a doubt, ttiiir ability lo do the riKhl thing at the riicht time. Never can there hc any doubt of the whole-hearted pntrlotlc aplrlt which pcrvadea the cotninunily when it Ih known that over HiHO in¬ dividuals, men, women and cliil.lrcn, siih.scrlhed over $;{8:!,0r)O toward the last Liberty l^ian. Tho aiihscriplion avoraKcd ahout $228 to a person. The quntii allotted lo Kreeport w,-i.s J382,000, a very lar>;o amount, but Freeport assumed the rcsponsihillty with a determination to fulliil its ob¬ ligations, and to do it creditably. Tho local Liticrty Loan Comniittc, of which Mr. Davison was made chairmiin, was appolnti^d hy tho Governor of the Kederal Reserve Board of Now York, and consisted of Messrs. S. R. Smith, Itosweli 1),\- vlB, C. Milton Foreman, U .G. An¬ derson, J. K. Kldrldge, William S, HaU. Elvin N. Edwards, Sinith F. Poaraall, Ward ('. Moon, George M. Hewlett, ot Merrick; Harry W. Hee- be and Peter Johnson, of Rellmore. This committee was ably assiiitcd by many of the prominent citizens of tihe village, including Edward F. Cook, Judfje C. M. Flint, W. G. Mil¬ ler, Fred K. Story, J. Huyler Klli¬ .son, KdKar Jackson, Charles .M. Ilau and others. The memhcrri of the coiiiinltteo Kenerously bespeak the cottrage with wrbich .Mr. Davison mu stored hia forces, planned out his campaign and carried his forces on to victory. And it v.tiii a trenicndoiia victory, for Freeport was one of tli" icw l.,onK Island villagcB which ovorsuh- Bcrlhed its niiota. The town and aurrounding villages were literally plastorcd with jiosters and .^Ign.s. The village w.as divided into districts and thoroughly canvassed. ' The students In the schools were addressed and atimulated to encourage their par¬ ents to buy bonds. The audiences in the moving picture shows were ad¬ dressed and ur^cd to subscribe, anl not a stone 'was left unturned to make the canapaign a success. Vh't work of the Boy Scouts is mo.st no'c- worthy and the metropolitan news-, papers have announced that th;' Scouts of Freeport hold the record on l.ong Island for selling honds. Mr. Davison and his coinniittee were ably assisted hy the ladies of the village not only through their liberal suiiscriptions, hut through in¬ dividual canvass and solicitation and in their aid of the routine office work. The memhers of Mr ,Davi- Hon's own family were most generous and liberal tn their efforts to aid in the work. One of the features of the cain'^aioi wasi the huge honor roll lists wniih were posted at the railroiid statu nw and in the drug stores. Kvcrybodv seemed to want to liave Iheir lamo on the list. On the evening of Oclobcr 'it a nion.ster open aii meeting was heii at the Fi.cport Cluh aud was ably addressed by l/Oiii.-t Kutner. Hefore the meeting liiiinlrcds ol' villagers, and the Hoy Scouts, licadml hy the hand of ilic li;7ih Alahiiiua Ivcgiuim', paraded liic si reels.

Smith, of Hempstead, is "up a tree" an the say¬ ing goes, not because he was forced into that position by any angry un¬ licensed dog that might have antici¬ pated seizure and possible death at hia hands, hut because George would like to know how, with all his ka- If .dostopic duties, he can And time to seize and impound the unlicensed animals and also how he can gee ex¬ tra pay for assistants if he la com¬ pelled to hire them to carry out the provisions of the law which says that upon receipt of warrants from the Justices of the Peace the constables and policemen of the townships In the state shall seize and Impound all unlicensed dogs. Constable Smith got his warrants from Justice Jone^ nearly a month apo and so did the police oflicers in Hempstead Village. As far as could be learned. Justice Jones is the first one to issue the warrants up to date. However, neither Smith nor tbe po¬ lice officers have taken any of the un¬ licensed canines. The oflficers have lieen wailing for word from the De¬ partment of Agriculture at Albany as to just what is expected of them, how much they were to be alloweci for their services and v.^here they were to take the dogs after seizure. These three questions were answer¬ ed on Wednesday last In a letter which Smith received from George I„. Flanders, counael to the Depart¬ ment of Farms and Markets of the State Division of Agriculture. Smith admitted to being dog-gone mad al¬ ter he had read the letter, and erai.- ted a growl that would make the most ferocious watch dog turn green wi'h envy. George took the letter to the Town Hall with him ,'.o next day, and afer circling around Town Cleik Gilbert's table, took a last snap at the epistle and turned it over to the Town Clerk, with the remark that he does not want to be a protomartyr for any dog laVs that place exces¬ sive burdens on the constablea. This is what Counselor Flanders wrote in part: "It is provided that (Continued on Page 8.) OBITUARY PHILIP .1. FISHER On Thursday morning, Philip J.

November f.tli, is FJlectlon Day In Nassau County A statement of Ihia kind is usually quite tinnecesaary, but the campaign this year has been so serene and peaceful, as far as ll effects this lo¬ cality, ns to cause many to say. "Whose running" and "When do I vote?" In the Town of Hemp.stead voters cast ballots for Attorney General of the State, two Associate Justic*s nf the Supreme Court, and a Member of Assembly. The iiaiiies of th !{•'- publican candidates are printed at the head of onr editorial column anrl Incidentally their election Is taken for granted. But It la PR'flential for every loyal nepiihlican to get to the jii'lls t-arly in the day and help swel^ the ma¬ jority. The polls wiil open at ti a. ni. and close af 5 p. m. Thomas A. McWhinney, of Lawr¬ ence, is candidate for r«>-election. He i'i the best leKi.^'.lator the county ever had. and thia district considers It a privilege to re-elect him. It would be a mark of respect for the Town of Heiupstearl to cast a tremendous vote for Merton E. Lewis for Attorney General of the State, BANK EMPLOYEES TO BE COMMENDED The eflSciency and resourcefulness of the office force In the First Na¬ tional Bank at Freeport could not have been demonstrated to a greater advantage than during the Liberty Bond Cmpaign of the last few weeks. Over 1208,000 worth of bonds wero .subscribed for through thia hnnk, and unless one is familiar with the methods they have no idea of the tremendous amount of work which this entailed. But the work was handled with unusual rapidity and absolute accu¬ racy. It was often necessary, dur¬ ing the last week of the campaign, for the clerks to go without meals, to work from early morning to nine and ten o'clock at night, and to spend part of Sunday in the bank finishing the detail work. Every sacrifice was made cheerfully and gladly, and is worthy of what little commendation this newspaper can give. The office force of the hank con¬ sists of W. F. Kraft, Jr., assicitiint cashier; Miss Mary B. Davia, head bookkeeper; Edward Hemming, pay¬ ing teller, and Miss Katherine Gol¬ der, Bradford Raynor and Mervin Golden.
