IN response TO numerous requests
as TO the method to be used in con-
verting fifteen thirty year three arc
n half per cent Liberty Loan Bonds
into fifteen thirty year four per cent
bonds, Secretary McAdoo announced
that there would be issued by the
Treasury Department within the very
near future a circular setting forth
the manner in which this conversion
should be undertaken. The terms Of
the three and one half per cent bond;
REQUIRE that an interest adjustment
be made on each and every bond con
verted. The Treasury Department
has devised a method whereby Thu:

measure, be made without the actua
payment of any cash by the holde'
of the bond to the Government, o.
vice versa. Holders Of the three ant
n half per cent bonds are remind
cd that the date Of issue Of the new
bonds into which their bonds will b
convertible is November fifteen an.
that 0 conversions can be actual,
accomplished prior to that date, a!

country win the war by buying Lber-
ty Bonds, the Saturday Evening Post
editorially says:

hundred dollars in cash, while the
other has a hundred-dollar govern

For every practical use he has
cash. In case of need he can imme-
diately convert his bond into green

at the nearest bank.
But, economically speaking, he has
taken that prodigious step which
separates savagery from %barbarism;
he has abstained from immediate
consumption of goods in hand; he has
saved something.
The characteristic of ~barbarism, as
distinguished from savagery, is that
people have saved something; they
possess flocks and herds. When pa.

Zenas Garrett, Of this city, who re-
fused to go to Camp Funston with the
last contingent Of Audrain county
soldiers in the National Army, d.
narted Friday afternoon for the can
Torment to enter the service Of his

Mr.. Garrett, who departed for

both the local exemption board and
Adiutant General McCord. "They had

Mexico People Should Not Wait Until

The appalling death-rate from kid
ney disease is due largely to the fact
that the little kidney troubles are
usually neglected until they become
serious. The slight symptoms often
give place TO chronic disorders and
the sufferer may slip gradually into
some serious form of kidney COM
plant.
If you suffer from backache, head
aches, dizzy spells; if the kidney Sc
cretions are irregular of passage and
unnatural in appearance, do not de-
