Writer Sells Liberty
Bonds in His Kitchen
Julian Street Solves Problem Of
Floating the War Loan

The problem of floating the Liberty
Loan was solved yesterday by Julian
Street, the writer. II is simply a mat.
ter of soliciting and convincing the
only ready-money class in the country
and this doesn't mean Wall Street or
motion picture stars, either.
Mr.. Street had already determined
how many bonds he could buy. but as
one of the Vigilantes he thought il
was also his duty to sell some. So he
began at home yesterday. testing out
his selling arguments on his thrifty
Swedish cook.
He found her interested. but eau
tious. Were they safe? She was as
sured that they were absolutely safe.
Could they easily be turned into cash
if she suddenly decided to return to
Sweden? Mr.. Street tclephoned a
banker and learned that this question
could also be answered affirmatively.
But would the bonds make the war
last longer? On the contrary. she was
told, their purchase would hasten its
end.
She retired to the kitchen, to return
presently with $3.50.
"Eef those bonds ban goin' to help
end the war, Ay take them" she ex-
planned.
Mr.. Street then preached the sub
iect TO his maid, who was persuaded
to buy 500 worth. The duty of other
householders is plain, he says.

Short-Term Notes
For War Loan
Get Big Response
Treasury Reports Crafty
ing Results on $780,
100000 Issue

Washington. May 23.-An overwhelm-
ing response has greeted the Treasury
Departments latest offering Of $780,
100000 short term certificates of in
debtedness, part of the Liberty Loan
financing. The offering has been over
subscribed, it was officially announced
tonight, by approximately 80 per cent,
and the books have been closed two
days ahead of the date originally set
because no further subscriptions can
be taken.
The certificates bear interest at the
rate of 3h per cent, one-fourth of L
per cent higher than the last offering,
are due July 80, and, while they are
not directly convertible into Liberty
bonds, are receivable at par and &C
crued interest in payments made by
subscribers to the bonds. The eager
ness of the banks TO accept the offer
ing presents somewhat of a contrast
with the acceptance of the last offer
ing of 00,000,000, which bore but 3
per cent interest.
Allotmcnts of the offering will be
made tomorrow. 1t will be necessary
to scale down the subscriptions by ap-
proximately one-third because of the
over-subscription. Subscriptions from
New York, it is understood, were espe-
cially large, and in every Federal Re
serve district the amount taken by the
banks exceeded expectations.

$500, 900 Subscribed for
Loan Bonds in City's
Department Stores

Wall Street yesterday discovered for
midable rivals in the Liberty Loan cam
paign in the city's department stores.
Bargain seeking and bond selling were
so successfully blended in the retail
stores that 100000 is believed to have
been subscribed during the day. Man
ayers were convinced that more than
81 900, 900 worth of bonds would be sold
before the close of the week.
At twenty-five booths maintained in
department stores bond experts ex-
planned to the shopping public the in
tricacies of government bonds.
NJ. Friedsam, president of b. Altman
e. Co., said last night: 1--WE are well
pleased with the progress made at our
booth and the manner in which the
shopping public is receiving this OPP
portunity to subscribe to the loan"
At A. l. Namm e. Sons store, in
Brooklyn, crowds of curious men and
women were converted by Miss Hazel
Dawn into buyers. The stores sub
scription lists were swelled beyond all
expectation.
A visitor from Texas walked into
Franklin Simon's store to purchase a
suit OF clothes, ard, seeing the bond
booth, subscribed to $4,000 worth OF
the bonds.
In the Offices of the merchants COM
mittee, on Fifth Avenue, near Thirty
fourth Street, Chairman Louis Stewart
expressed himself as highly pleased
with the work of the stores.
"These Offices probably will remain
open throughout the war" he said. eve
have succeeded in accomplishing so
much already that We will keep right
on. All the stores are accomplishing
much more than had been expected.
What is needed is education for the
public. With an exact knowledge Of the
purpose and manner of handling the
bond issue, the small investors are glad
to do their part in taking it up"
Secretary Carroll of the committee
said that special arrangements had been
made in nearly all the stores handling
bonds whereby their employees, no mat
ter how limited their means, might sub
scribe for one or more bonds at their
own terms.

MElLlTElLS OF 1o06-O7

Lucca correspondence of Fingal Her.
aid: Casper Meili, one of the pioneers
of this place, has very kindly given
the writer data which he compiled ten
years ago during the winter of 1867,
which many will probably find highly
interesting. Mr.. Meili says the pres.
ent winter is by far more severe than
that of 1906-07. The first real cold
weather then was not until Jan. /, but
quantities of snow fell in December.
The 500 line missed for the first time
Jan. 2 and Jan. was snowbound. The
N. P. was first snowbound Jan. and
was not opened until Feb. 8. On Jan
no train was able to get through
from the cities, so special was made
"p at Enderlin and went west. No
train on 500 from Jan. Is to Jan. 80,
when II dead engines were hauled in
to Enderlin. On Jan. 81 freight trains
north from Enderlin after blockade
The only intensely cold weather was
after blizzard Feb. 2, when for two
days it was 40 below. On Feb. 10
freights on both lines began to run.
The last snow was on March 10 and
on March 26 came a hard rain storm

THE SOLDIER

Walt Mason: The soldier comes back
from the carnage and wreck; he's min
us an arm and leg and neck; never
again will he swagger and swing; he
walks with a crutch and his heads in
a sling. AS long as he lives he will
sit by his door, and tell how he waded
in enemy gore, and young men will list
to his narrowing tales, and blush that
they're standing unwounded and hale.
I'd rather come home from the war in
a dray, all broken, dismembered, my
head shot away, than stand around
telling, by day and by night, that I
was too proud or too moral to fight.
The soldier comes home for a season
Of peace, he carries his legs in a trunk
Or valise, his lungs and his wishbSne
were shipped by express, his body is
filled with the keenest distress. But
people will listen, their hats in their
hands, to all his adventures in war
stricken lands, they'll call him hero,
a soul brave and true. they'll praise
him and bless him and give him a
chew. Then sad is the lot of the BY
standing wight who feels that it's
wicked and sinful to fight The girls
turn him down and the boys boot his
name: he crawls meath a culvert to
bury his shame.

GRIMM ALFALFA SEED
/ PRODUCERS COOPERATE

The growers of Grimm alfalfa seed
in North Dakota are cooperating
in mark citing their seed.
The seed is now being sent to Far
go where it is being cleaned and scar
flied. No seed is taken that contains
seeds of noxiOus weeds.
One member had so bushels of seed,
but when tested at the seed labora-
tory at the Agricultural college it was
found to contain mustard, so it had to
be rejected The result is that this
member will have to sell his seed for
about half what it would sell for
through the association.
B. Byron Bobb, president, and w. r.
Porter, secretary of the Grimm Alfalfa
Producers association of North Dako.
ia, have worked out a system for hav-
ing the Grimm alfalfa fields register
ed, good deal the same as is done
for purebred live stock, and they are
further insisting that no seed will be
sold by the association that has any
noxious weed seed in it.
This association is being watched
with good deal of interest in the ex.
pectation that it will work out meth.
DDS and show the possibilities of coop.
