LIBERTY LOAN COMMITTEE NADED

The following banks and persons
having been designated to receive
subscriptions to the new Liberty
Loan, persons desiring to subscribe
can secure from them blanks for that
purpose, and any information which
they require. It is hoped that the
subscriptions to this loan will be gen.
erOus.
Kent County has been allotted ST.
600 10000. The bonds bear interest
at the rate of four per centum and are
free from any taxes within the state.
except in the case of persons having
more than $4,000 income. This makes
this one of the very best investments
that a person can make in this war
time when federal taxes are sure to
be increased and made to apply to
practically all incimes. Besides this,
it is the duty of every person to not
only invest money in hand, but to
save money and invest these bonds in
order that the government may be
provided with means OF paying the
expenses Of the war.
The appeal for subscriptions to this
loan is based on two grounds; first,
it is a good investment and the safest
in the world; second, it is the patri-
otic duty of every citizen to back the
government by making this loan a
graet success.

Brunton claims the calf. which Is
now a hcifer and good looking one
at that, is the daughter of one OF his
prize. Herefords, while Stapleton
claims the calf is just scrub, the
daughter Of bobtailed red cow that
he raised on his ranch.
In November. 1914, Brunton went TO
Siaplcton's ranch and took away three
calves that were with one of his COWS.
One OF the calves was the golden
calf" The next day Stapleton went to
