THE BEND CAMPAIGN
Custer County Has $40, 900 up TO Friday
Morning, Still Has S32 900 to
Raise TO Finish Quota.

As the time draws near to close the
books in the Liberty Loan Bond oppor.
tunlty, the interest grows. Not all the
people realized the Governments propo-
sltlon. The Government seeks no dona-
ton from the people but merely the
loan OF our money for which per cent
interest is paid semi-annually, giving us
a U. S. Bond which is non.taxable and
absolutely safe as any reasonable propo.
sltlon can be. At any rate if the Gov.
ernment fails in this great struggle then
We may be sure that our money would
have done us little good had we kept it..
| Another practical certainty is that at the
close of the war these bonds will 20
above par as financial men will gladly
take over at premium bonds or other
interest which draw no taxes and are so
well secured.
Only one day more remains to the man
who has hesitated so far. Don't lose
the opportunity of doing your part in
the hour of the nations need. Should
we fail the Government in caring for
the boys at the front the time may come
when the Government may find it neces-
sary to raise the amount by extra taxes
or even by conscripting the money.
Now you can help feed and clothe the
boys and draw interest on the money
until it is returned to you. An exchange
says The proposition is like a see-saw
with Bond subscriptions at one end and
the Kaiser at the other. AS the Bond
subscription goes up the Kaiser goes
down.
Some of the best business men in the
County are on the list which should evil
dence the fact that it is a good invest
ment. Let US get in on the closing day
and prove to the boys at the front we
are behind them and let the German
know that every man is be-
hind this Government with men and
money till the job is finished and vic

TO MAKE BIG CHANGE IN
THE DRAFT MACHINERY

Washington, Oct. 20.--A sweeping
change in the machinery of the selec-
tive draft based on the division of the
100000 remaining registrants into five
classes in the order of their eligibility
for military service was announced to.
day by Provost Marshal Crowder
1t is calculated to do away with the
complicated machinery of the first draft
and make the work Of the local board OF
the rubber stamp variety,
The chief features of the plan are that
every registered man will know his ex.
act position and that no one deemed
necessary in important industry or with
dependents will be called unless the
military situation becomes desperate.

SUFFERING CATS!
GIVE THIS MAN
THE GOLD MEDAL

No humbug! Any corn, whether
hard, soft or between the toes, will
loosen right up and lift out, without a
particle Of pain or soreness.
This drug is called freezone and Is
a compound Of ether discovered by .
Cincinnati man.
Ask at any drug store for a small
bottle of freezone, which will cost but
a trifle, but is sufficient to rid ones
feet of every corn or callus.
Put a few drops directly upon any
tender, aching corn or callus. Instant
ly the soreness disappears and shortly
the corn or callus will loosen and can
be lifted off with the fingers.
This drug ~freezone doesn't eat out
the corns or calluses but shrivels them
without even irritating the surround
ing skin.
Just think! No pain at all; no sore
ness or smarting when applying 1t OF
afterwards. II your druggist don't have
freezone have him order it for you.
