There is so much to be
gained by using brand of

needs that you can hardly
afford to overlook the inn
portance of specifying your
kind of flour when order

1t really is the simple
matter of selection, for
good flour seldom costs
much more than ordinary

CIRCULAR RESPECTING
POSTAL SAVINGS BONDS

Depositors Of the postal savings
system may exchange the whole or
a part of their deposits on January
l. 1912, for United States registered
or coupon bonds in denominations Of
$50. 500. and $500. bearing interest
at the rate of 2I@ per cent per an
mum, payable semi-annually. and re-
deemable at the pleasure of the Unit
ed States after one year from the
date of issue, both principal and in
terest payable 20 years from the date
in United States gold coin.
Postal savings bonds are exempt
from all taxes or duties of the United
States. as we'll as from taxation in
any form by or under state, munich
pal or local authority.
Applications for the conversion Of
deposits into bonds on January :.
1872. must be received before De-
cember i. 1911, by the postmaster at
the depository office where the GER
tificates were issued. The postmaster
will supply an application form which
must be made out i'm triplicate. The
depositor must indorse and surrender
with his application postal savings
certificates covering the amount OF
the bonds desired for which the post
master will give him n receipt. When
the postmaster receives the bonds
applied for he will notify the deposit
or and will deliver the bonds on pre-
sentation of the receipt for the GER
tificates surrendered.
The conversion of deposits into
bonds at a date less than one year
after the certificates began to bear
interest forfeits interest on the de-
posits as in the case of withdrawal
for any other purpose.
Postal savings deposits converted
into bonds are not counted as a part
of the maximum of $500 allowed one
depositor. and there is no limitation
on the amount of available postal
savings bonds which may be ac-
auired finally by a deposition The
exchange is considered as taking eff
feet on January l, and depositor
who has applied to convert into bonds
all or part of the maximum balance
of $500 may deposit an additional
amount in January. though the bonds
may not yet have been delivered.
Postal savings bonds can be pro-
cured only by the conversion oil
postal savings deposits and will not
be issued to persons who are not de-
positors They may be sold or as
signed to any person, however, by tht
holder. and when Il registered bono

thoroughly dignified and char

other facts incidental with Mr..
Ransdell's career as a member of

that as such, Mr.. RansdeIl in the
twelve years of his incumbency
enjoys practically no iofluence

not now and has never at any time

they have seemingly become re-
conciled to the inevitable aud are
slowly giving up the fight.
1t was the boast of the
Goo Goo boomers, at the time
Judge Hall spoke in New Orleans,
hat he would carry mat city and
this highly-colorcd campaign
slogan was heralded far and wide
throughout every parish in the
State; but the Michel rally seems
to have completely broken the ex-
pecteG effects of these campaign
Interpretations. They city Of
New orleans will 90 heavily for
Michel and che regular ticket and
as will a great majority Of the
parishes. This is now very main
ly observable by any man possess
sing the least political acumen.
Mr.. Michel has been in num-
Der OF North Louisiana parishes
lately and he has held rousing and
largely attended meetings and his
forces are thoroughly organized
all over the State, not excepting
the city of New Orleans. Very
little is heard at present of Mr..
Hall and still less III Mr.. Aswell,
aud when they ale brought into
print it is never anything more
than the usual cIap-trap about
"rings", "bosses" or such silly
stuff as they have worn thread
bare to the Intense disgust of the
intelligent electorate Of the State.
Another theme they harp on con-
tinually Showing that they have
seized upon this pretty much as a
drowning man clutches on to a
straw is the land purchases Of
Mr.. Michel-iands which were
worthless and source Of no re-
venue to the State and would in
time have been gobbled up by
some Northe rn or Eastern syndic-
ate, 10 the de;rimeDt OF our home
people. Apart from these argu-
ments-nimsy as they are-she
anti Michel orators have not been
able to bolster up single argu-
ment against his personal worth
or political fitness for the Office to
which he aspiras. The most ex-
tensive and substantial interests
of both city and State are with
Mr.. Michel in this fight and there
is now not the least possibility of
a doubt that he will be over
whelmingly elected, along with
the entire State ticket of the re-
gular Democratic party.
