GOVERNMENT TO
SELL CERTIFICATES
Small Investors Will Have Chance
To Discount With Their
Savings.

On December there will be placed
on sale in every post Office in the
United States a new form Of Govern
ment obligations, namely the War
Certificates, from which it is expected
to raise two billion dollars before the
end of the year 1918. These certifi-
Gates are issued to enable those who
could not purchase Liberty bonds to
contribute their mite to the prosecu-
ton Of the war. The certificates are
for five dollars each, but instead of
collecting that amount from the pur-
chaser and paying interest thereon as
with the bonds, the certificate is dis
counted at four per cent, compounded
quarterly, and the purchasers pay on
ly the sum necessary to amount to five
dollars by the first of January, 1928,
when the certificates become due:
During the months of December and
January next they will be sold for
$4.12, after which the price will go up
one cent per month.
Should a purchaser need the money
before the certificate becomes due he
can cash it at his post Office at any
time by giving ten days notice in
writing. He will receive the amount
he paid for it, plus the interest to date
OF redemption.
In order to enable the children to
help finance the war the government
will also sell thrift certificates at 25
cents each, and as soon as a person
has acquired four dollars worth CT
these thrift stamps he can turn them
in for war certificate, paying the ex-
ira IL cents in cash, and one cent per
month after January 81. Thus if such
stamps are presented in April, 1918,
he would pay Is cents in cash in addi-
tion to the stamps, etc.
The certificates and stamps will be
handled also by city and rural car
riers for the convenience of the pub
lie.
Save your pennies, nickels and
dimes and help your Uncle Sam win
the war.
A. O. FORSBERG,
Postmaster.

A LETTER FROM THE
COAL ADMINISTRATOR
p 'ee MCGEE Writes a Letter to the
local Board About the Coal
Situation.

q 'ee MCGEE Writes a Letter to the
local Board About the Coal
Situation.
November %, 1917.
Mr.. A. E. Rice, Chairman,
Willmar, MINI.
Mr. David N. Tallman,
Willmar, MINI.
Mr.. M. D. Manning,
Willmar, MINI.
Gentlemen: ..
All concerned in the handling of
hard coal are now facing a very SER
ious condition and as I see it, there
is but one way to avoid suffering in
your community. Beginning with the
operators and miners, stocks of Hard
Coal are being distributed at about
the same rate as in 1916. Stocks be-
ing allotted to the wholesalers in this
fashion are in turn being divided
among the dealers and l feel that a
warning at this time should be given
to the dealers receiving Hard Coal,
to the end that they may follow the
same plan in disposing of such stocks
as are shipped them. In other words,
if the Hard Coal that is shipped into
the country is distributed little to
each customer, the situation will be
relieved, everybody will be supplied
with enough to take care of their i'm
mediate needs, and there will be no
cases of suffering. On the contrary,
if the local dealers at various points
allow some of their customers to take
in their full winters supply of coal at
this time, they will have nothing to
distribute to their other customers.
In this connection, 1 must ask that
you instruct the dealers in your coun.
ty to confine the sale of Hard Coal to
those who have equipment not suited
to Soft Coal
Consumers having furnaces or other
apparatus in which soft coal can be
used must help through the present
emergency by burning that grade un-
til such time as sufficient supply of
Hard Coal is available.
1t will require the hearty co-opera-
ton of everybody to handle the pres
ent situation. Please give the above
instructions full publicity through the
newspapers of your county.
Yours truly,
J. F. NC GEE,
Federal Fuel Administrator for
Minnesota

Yesterday afternoon the large throng that attended the Oaklawn racing saw the first two events run in a light shower of rain. The rain fall did not continue through the af- ternoon however and with a con- tinued sunshine today there is every prospect for the course being good at least this afternoon Yesterday. considering the track conditions, and the horses that figured in some of the events. the time was very good.
 Handful was the only genuine se- lection of the talent to justify the honor The remainder Of the card was divided between second choices and outsiders. There were some close finishes ana m one .ace three of the horses came by the wire close enough to bring thrill to the stand
 The first event was for maidens. end Dr Prather, an imported horse from the T Cook stable, was much the best Crump had the leg on this one and got him away well and won lmndily. Plunger was easily second, and James c. was third Nepotism tn whom much importance was at tached was outside the ranks.
 In the second Benjamin was the medium of a neatly executed coup. The horse was much the best of the field though practically overlooked. Buxton had the mount, got his horse |away running, and was never headed. Cash On Delivery and Oldsmobile furnished the contention for the short end of tho purse.
 In the third event Handfull was the choice of the talent. and a goodly choice. too, for this was much the best of the field. and won handily as Jockey Haynes would have him. Vol uspa was a length ahead of Kneelet for the division of second and third money Milton Campbell with Crump in the saddle was apparently better fitted for fast course. and ran dis appointingly
 In the fourth event Buzz Around had one Of LyKe's best finishes and got the first part of the purse from Brian Boru, the latter running an eX- cellent race the whole distance, and with stronger finish might have won. Jack Reeves, the fayorite was third
 Win Do was such a suggestive title that some pinned their faith to this one and he did do, for he came in first Dash under a good ride from Murphy was the contender, and King K, which had received liberal sup port was third The field finished
