Fredricy Urges Fuel Purchases

]. H. Fredricy, local agent of the
O.-W. R. & N. Co., and local fuel
dealers, are issuing warnings to local
people to make early provisions for
their fuel supply the coming winter.
Mr.. Fredricy declares that all Hood
River Valley ranchers should cut cord
wood, wherever they have an available
supply. The railway agent states that
he believes the local receipts of coal
the coming winter will be negligible,
and that people of the district will
have to burn cord and slabwood.
The plant of the Oregon Lumber Co.
at Dee, not only supplies the local
market with the greater portion of its
slabwood but also ships the product in
heavy quantities to eastern Oregon
towns

FACTS ABOUT THE
LIBERTY WAR BONDS

A Liberty Loan Bond is a solemn
promise of the United States to pay at
maturity the amount of the bond to
the holder thereof, and to pay interest
semiannually each year from the date
Of the issuance of the bond until it is
fully and finally paid.
The faith and honor of the United
States backed by all of the resources
of the nation and the American people
are security. A Liberty Loan Bond is
a mortgage on all the resources and
taxing powers of the government and
al of the resources of the American
people.
There are two kinds of Liberty Loan
Bonds. Bearer bonds are to be issued
Il denominations of $50, $l00, $500 and
$1,000. These Bearer bonds, which are
made payable to bearer, have interest
coupons attached which are detached
by the holder when the interest INSTALL
ments they represent are due, and can
be cashed at any bank the same as a
United States treasury note.
Registered bonds are to be issued,
which are registered as to both princi-
pal. and interest, in denominations of
500, $500, $1,000, SIS, 900, $50, 600 and
100000; checks for the amount Sfs in
terest due will be mailed out semian-
nually to the holders of these regis
tered bonds.
Liberty Loan Bonds of the first issue
of 1000, 900, 600 are to bear date of
June Is. 1917, and to run for 80 years,
except that the government reserves
the right to pay them l5 years after
date. If this right is not exercised by
the government Is years from date,
the bonds will run the full 30 years.
These bonds bear interest at 81 per
cent per annum, and the interest is
payable semiannually on the 18th day
Of December and the 18th day of June
in each year.
One especial advantage no other
bonds, national, state, municipal, or
corporate, have is that if the United
States during the continuance of this
war shall issue other bonds at a higher
rate of interest, the holders of these
Liberty bonds have the right to ex-
change their Liberty bonds for bonds
bearing the higher rate of interest,
dollar for dollar.
Blank forms of application for the
purchase of these bonds can be OBJ
tanned from the Treasury Department,
any federal reserve bank, any national,
state or private bank, any express Of
flee, and any postoffice in the United
States. Any bank or postmaster will
aid applicant in filling out his blank
and other acts necessary to obtain
these bonds.

One Horse Killed in Scraper Accident

One horse twas fatally injured and
E. Beauregard and A. r. Schetky, the
former operator of the scraper and the
latter driver of the four horse team,
had narrow escapes last week when
the big county road grader became un-
manageable on steep grade near the
Fir home of H. M. Sidney. Portions
of the harness were broken when the
scraper struck a stump. The machine
ran onto the horses before the operator
could stop it, and the four animals ran
madly down the grade. Both men
jumped. The knifelike scraper grazed
Beauregard and one wheel passed over
his legs, badly bruising him.
The tongue of the scraper struck a
tree and was splintered, portion of it
piercing the leg of the fatally injured
horse, which was the property of H.
M. Sidney.

Trying to boost his feet inches
up to the standard required for mill
tary service, Willis Hartman, a patri-
otic youth from Glenwood, near AL
bany, New York, tried a form of
elevation that almost got by the
United States Marine Corps recruiting
officers. Willis went through without
flaw until he stripped to be examined
for sears when the doctor discovered
several layers of adhesive plaster and
a small cotton pad under each heel
that gave a "French-heel effect" to
the would.be warrior. When it was
removed, he lacked one inch of meet
ing the required height.
