 BOND PAYMENTS

Yesterday was the day on which the first monthly payments for the Liberty Bonds purchased by the school children came due, and the children were all on hand to make their payments. Many of them wait ed until the last moment and crowd ed into the bank at the noon hour until it looked like a circus day.
 The school students purchased a number of the bonds and are earning the money to make payments in vari- ous ways. One girl purchased a hundred-dollar bond with money she had almost entirely earned at pick ing berries during the summer, and many others have adopted like means of raising money.
