TAKE "A LIBERTY LOAN

A liberty loan bond is a solemn
promise of the United States to pay
at maturity the amount of the bond
to the holder thereof, and to pay in
terest semiannually each year from
the date of the insurance of the bond
until it is fully and finally paid.
The faith and honor of the United
Stat IS, backed by all of the resources
of the Nation and the American peo-
pie. A Liberty Loan Bond is mort
gage on all the resources and taxing
powers of the Government and all of
the American people.
There are two kinds of Liberty
Loan Bonds. Bearer Bonds are to be
issued in denominations of $50, S100,
$500 and $1,000. These Bearer Bonds
which are made payable to bearer,
have interest coupons attached which
are detached by the holder when the
interest installments they represent
are due, and can be cashed at any
bank the same as a United States
Treasury note.
Registered bonds are to be issued,
which are registered as to both prin-
cipal and interest, in denominations
of 500, $500, $1,000, $4,000 $4,000
$4,000, and 100000; checks for the
amount of interest due viii be mailed
out semiannually to the holders of
these registered bonds.
Liberty Loan Bonds of the first
isue of $4,000 100000 are to bear date
of June Is, 1917, and to run for thirty
years, except that the Government
reserves the right to pay them ff-
teen years after date. IF this right
is not exercised by the government
fifteen years from date, the bonds
will run the full thirty years.
These bonds bear interest at 3 1-2
per cent per annun1, and the interest
is payable semiannually on the ff-
tenth day of June in each year.
One special advantage no other
bonds, National, State, Municipal, or
corporate, have is that if the United
States during the continuance of this
war shall issue other bonds at high
er rate of interest the holders of
these Liberty bonds have the right to
exchange their Liberty bonds for
bonds bearing the higher rate of in
terest dollar for dollar.
They are nontaxable. If your city
county and state taxes three mills
on the dollar, a not unusual tax, these
bonds are equivalent to ordinary cor
porzte bonds or other investments
bearing 1-2 per cent.
In addition, no federal tax which
| war conditions may later make nee
esary will effect these bonds. The
only tax these bonds are subject to
is the inheritance tax, which applies
to all property of all kinds whatso-
| ever.
Blank forms of application for the
purchase of these bonds can be obtain
ed from the Treasury Department
| any Federal Reserve Bank, any
| National, State, or private bank, any
express office, and any post Office in
the United States Any bank or
postmaster will aid applicant filling
out his blank and the other acts nee
esary to obtain these bonds.
| 1t is not necessary to advertise
these bonds to sell the whole issue
but it is earnestly desired that this
loan shall be popular loan, loar
by and from the people at large od
the United States, and not alone
from banks, trust companies, and fin
i anciers. To that end bonds are te

GoveFnor Arthur Capper has Tor
mally announced that he will be "a
candidate for the Office of United
States senator from Kansas in 1918.
He does not consider this the proper
time to announce his platform but
it will appear in due time. Since
Governor Capper received such a
strong Endorsement at the polls last
fall there has been steady demand
that he enter the race for United
States senator and his announcement
comes as a response to the demand.
As a senatorial candidate Governor

Mr.. Hoover saw the light but mistook
it to be further away from him than
it was. The men in the auto did not
see the team until they were almost
upon them. Both drivers turned to
the right but it was too late to avoid
collision. The vehicles came to-
gether. The wagon tongue was stuck
into the left side of the radiator and
broke off there. The windshield of
the car was broken into bits and the
horses brushed and cut some. The
occupants of the wagon seat were
thrown to the bottom of the wagon
but not hurt. The occupants of the
car did not fare as well. Mr.. Klenk
received several small cuts and
scratces on his left hand but Mr.
Schuck somewhat dazed from the
shock and was seriously cut about
the face and hands, one cut on the un-
der side of the right jaw was espec-
tally bad. Aid was summonded from
Pickering's garage and Mr.. Schuck
was taken to DIR. Haughey's Office
where his injuries were dressed. Mr..
Schuck is painter and had been
doing some work for James Feeney.
He had received a message calling
illness of his little son and his in
juries were dressed in time that he
was able to continue the homeward
journey on train No. 102 although
somewhat weak from the shock.

CONGRESSMAN Connolly has flooded
this district with his printed speech
explaining why he was one of the few
claring- war on Germany. The speech
is somewhat pathetic and it it had
ever been delivered to a sympathetic
audience would have produced tears
of mingled joy and sorrow How
ever, I do not believe the explanation
will be satisfactory to the majority of
the people of this district. In later
speech sent out under Mr.. Connelly's
franking privilege he says = only
twenty-five have written him letters
condemning him for voting as he did.
He doesn't say how many letters of
commendation he received.
Count Won Bernstorff, former am
bassador to the United States from
Germany, in speaking of the many
German citizens who have come to
the United States and declared their
intentions to become its citizens, is
quoted by Senator Phelap as saying:
81 do not talk about those people.
We do not care what they think or
want. They have deserted the Faith
erland They have run away to avoid
military duty. They have been false
to the old traditions. They are out
laws" 1 do not imagine that the
many who call , themselves German
Americans will enjoy feeling that this
is the opinion held by official Germany
regarding them. would think they
would drop the German" end of their
title and forget all about the official
end of the "Fatherland" as soon as
possible. The general opinion among
all inherited titles is that the royal
blood which courses through their
veins is decidedly better than that
which runs through the veins of their
subjects, but in this country of ours
we believe that all men are created
equal and, the humblest citizen can
take consolation in the fact that his
son has as good a chance to become
president of the United States as the
son of anyone else.

pecially good, and two new members
were enrolled. The meeting opened

The Bible lesson was, Following

collection of dues, and signed pledge
cards, and discussion of general busi-
ness. Miss McLaurin reported the
sale of quilt top that had been made
up by the different ladies, and work
fast progressing on another. All
business being dispensed with the
literary feature of the program was
taken up. Mrs. w. r. Keels read
"Japan's Back Door," This leaflet
depicted very clearly the need of
Christianity in Japan, but says, "that
Christian missions have in many
ways changed this back door, and dur
many changes to Japan, especially as
regards the status of her women"
The vocal duet, 30, Jesus Thou Art
Standing" rendered by Miss Jessie
Curtis and Mrs. w. r. Keels was
much enjoyed. Previous to the meet
ing, messages from our Japan mis-
sionaries had been written upon tele-
gram blanks, and enclosed in like en-
velopes addressed to each member of
the society. These were delivered by
the little messenger boy, George Cain,
who was announced and created some
anxiety by the sight of the little yell
low envelopes. Those in town were
read aloud by each one, and was a
very effective feature. The imperso-
nations of some of our Japan mis-
sionaries by the following ladies
were pleasing, Mrs. Ralph Reynolds,
as Miss Annette Gisr of the Florida
conference, Miss Ruth Jones, as Miss
Maud Bonncll of East Oklahoma, Mrs.
Alex Reynolds, as Miss Nellie Ben
nett of the Virginia conference, and
Miss Leatha Edwards, as Miss An
ME Belle Williams of Charleston, and
our own South Carolina missionary.
These ladies were attired in the Japa-
nese costumes, and read extracts from
the life and works of each whom she
represented. At intervals, the pro-
gram was interpused with music by
Mrs. Keels, and Miss Edwards. Upon
the conclusion of same, a refreshing
cup. of tea, the Japanese drink, with
waters was served by Misses Ruth
Jones and G. E. McLaurin. The jana
nesc are bright, energetic, and eager
to stand at the forefront, but they
need Christ. Japan needs mission
aries. Japan needs your prayers.
Remember that each one can be a
real missionary by gifts and prayers
for those who have been sent out to
represent you. Japan is the KEY to
the Orient. Christian Japan would
mean the Orient for Christ, and that
right speedily.
