iGT POPULAR LOAN LESS
THAN
. , i.i For Partially Tax Ex
emption Notes, Convertible
Into 3 3-4 Exempt; Oversub
scriptions To Be Rejected.
Washington, April
TT:.nrv Liberty
13. Terms of
Loan were an-
bounced today by Secretary Glass.
Tiiflv are:
Amount, ?4,500,000,000;
oversut-
Options to be rejectea.
Interest, 4 3-4 per cent for partially
exemption notes convertible into
3 3-4 per cent notes wholly tax ex-
"Maturity four years, with the
treasury reserving the privilege of
'redeeming the notes in three years.
The 3 3-4 Per cent notes to be 1S
sued later, also may be converted
subsequently back into 3 3-4 per cent
notes The 4 3-4 per cent securities
are to be exempt from State and local
taxation, and from normal rates of
Federal income taxes. The 3 3-4 per
cent securities are exempt from all
Federal, State and local taxes except
estate and inheritance.
Loan Smaller Than Expected.
The size of the loan was much
smaller than had been anticipated by
most financial observers, who looked
for an issue of about $6,000,000,000,
particularly in view of Secretary
Glass' past statements that the loan
would be five or six billions.
This will be the last Liberty Loan,
Secretary Glass explained, although
there will be other issues of govern
ment securities to finance belated war
expenses. These will not be floated
by popular campaigns.
Nothing to Maintain Market Prices.
None of the past issues of -Liberty
Bonds are convertible into Victory
Loan notes, and there are no specific
provisions in the terms of the Victory
issue serving directly to maintain
market prices of past, issues: - . -Selling
Campaign.
In many communities the selling
campaign already has begun actively,
without formal acceptance of sub
scriptions, said reports today to the
Treasury, although the official open
ing date is April 21. The drive will
continue three weeks until May 10.
Statement by Secretary Glass.
"In fixing the terms of the issue,"
said Secretary Glass announcement
of the Victory Loan, "the Treasury
has been guided largely by the desire
to devise a security which will hot
only prove attractive to the people of
the country in the first instance, but
the terms of which should insure a
good market for the notes after the
campaign is over and should not af
fect injuriously the market for the
existing bonds of the Liberty Loans.
"This will be the last Liberty Loan.
Although as the remaining war bills
the presented further borrowing must
he done, I anticipate that the require
ments of the government, in excess of
the amount of taxes and other income
can, in view of the decreasing scale
f expenditure, be readily financed by
the issue of Treasury certificates from
time to time as heretofore which may
he ultimately refunded by the issue of
ctes or bonds without the aid of
another great popular campaign such
Js has characterized the Liberty
Loans.

On Thursday afterrfbon at three
o'clock the Girls' and Boys' Agricul
tural Club will meet at Wise High
School. An appropriate program has
been arranged. ..
i . The County Board of Agriculture
rjfiex at xne yourt iuse saturaay and
discussed the heeds of the county'
along agricultural lines. The men dis
cussed the-need of growing ;more hay
in the county. Three carloads of hay
jwere sold in Warrenton Saturday and
a great-per cent, of it went to the
country. This should not be and
steps are to be taken to produce more
hay in the county. " '
The importance of screening all
homes against flies and mosquitoes
was also discussed. It is hoped that
many sections will see to it that every
home in the entire community, is
screened. The idea is for a commun
ity to start one particular line of im
provement and stick to. it. until the
desired results have been obtained.
It 'is hoped that four strong com
munity, fairs will be held this fall in
different sections of the county. Be
lieving that no institution is of more
importance educationally and socially
than the agriculture fairs we expect
to have much interest taken in th.s
line of extension work.
The Home Economics- Depart
ment of the Woman's club mev,
in the Home Demonstration Agents
office last Tuesday at 4 o'clock.
Fourteen ladies were present. Mrs.
Will Connell, Chairman of the depart
ment presided. Miss Annie Lee Ran
kin made a short talk on "The Days
Food" and then demonstrated quick
mayonnaiose with corn oil. It was
decided to have regular meetings of
the club during the summer monuis.
To make quick mayonnaise be sure
that all ingredients and bows are of
the same temperature. To the well
beaten yolk of one egg add two tea
spoonfuls of vinegar. Beat thorough
ly, then pour in the oil (about one
cup) beating all the time, until it is
the desired consistancty. Add 1 tsp
salt and a little cayenne. This dress-
ing requires from three to five minr
'utes to make. If it should separate
I add a small piece of ice or one tea-
! spoonful of. water and continue beat
ing. - ."

Farmers who are spraying their or-
Ichards this year should not overlook

mercial lime-sulphur to 50 gallons, of
!t?t water, to which has been added 1
. j pound of powdered lead arsenate, or
- r two pounds of paste -- arsenate.
; j This spray is to kill the codling
which makes. the wormy apple
;and to control certain fungus diseases

"I-beseech all ministers of the Gos
pel, and all men and women of every
class and condition who have faith in
the final preservation of moral values
to enlist in the great Victory Cam
paign, to the end that our national
honor may.be redeemed and our desti

Bickett Saturday in a proclamation to
the people of North Carolina in the
interest of the Victory Loan Cam
paign which will start April 21st and
continue to May 10th.
The Governor's proclamation " fol

"Honor is fi'ner than honesty, as
sentiment is higher than the thought.
There is scant virtue in merely keep
ing within the law
"The fear o' hell's hangmanfs whip,
To hand the ; wretch - in order ;
But where ye feel your honor grip,
Let that aye be your border."
"In the call 'to buy Victory Bonds
honor grips hard. To achieve the vic
tory we pledged our lives, our prop
erty and our sacred honor. The pledge
of life has been fully . redeemed. The
blood cost of victory was paid with
solemn pride. To fail or falter in
meeting the money cost would im
mediately brand us with infamy and
ultimately mark us for destruction.
Our sacred honor drives us to offer
our property as freely as our soldiers
offered their lives. "They fought a
good fight. We must keep faith, or
wither in , fires of self contempt.
"The Imperial German Government
assessed that a solemn obligation was
but a scrap of paper and that Govern
ment has been consigned to the scrap
heap of civilization. .-- "God , is ..I not
mocked": and this nation will ' surely
become, as Nineveh f and. Tyre . if we
keep back the price of our redemp
tion7 No nation can survive that-ad-
vertises to the world that it holds
money dearer than manhood, that
while it was willing to sacrifice the
only son it cannot spare the firstlings
of the flock. '
"I beseech all ministers of theuGos

FARMERS BUY BONDS?
Farmers have been told so often
that they are the backbone of the
nation's prosperity that they some
times grow tired of hearing the
phrase repeated. But this year the
words have more than ordinary sig
nificicance. It costs money to raise and trans
port the produce of American fields
and farms. The farmer made money;
he received higher prices for his crops
than had ever been paid -bet ore in the
history of the country. -
It is true that the War has been
gloriously ended. But the job has not
been ended.
When the American puts his hand
to the plow he does not look back.
When he puts his name on a note he
makes good. It is the American way.
And nobody doubts that the Ameri
can people will make good on the Vic
tory Liberty Loan, In entering the
War they put their name to a prom
isory note to their government which
is about to fall due.
These words are just a reminder of
obligations. The farmer has pros
pered, in some cases even beyond his
dreams. And prosperity is coming to
him in the future in even greater
meaure. The world must come to
America for food. The War is over,
but the job is not. America will fin
ish it in true American 100 per cent,
style.
