Any person may invest amounts as
small as 25 cents at time at post
Offices, banks or trust companies, at
most railroad stations, stores and fac
tories and at many other public places
where accredited persons will act as
authorized selling agents. After the
sales begin the certificates may be
purchased at any time. At the average

certificates will be dated January 2,

The tax exemption provisions of
these certificates, particularly from
the standpoint of the purchaser of
smaller amounts, makes the invest

$1,000 worth of these certificates.

Friday afternoon at the Junior high
school to the women of Sank Centre
and vicinity who are interested
vitality in food conservation and the
reasons for such. A goodly number
of women were in attendance and
felt that they were well repaid in
Drawing the severe weather. Miss
Lange proved to be a woman capable
of giving sound advice and still max
ing her words acceptable.
The lecture was on conservation,
pure and simple, presented in a clear,
sane manner. In this time of going
to extremes, Miss Lange made sort
of gyroscope to keep the world from
whirling off into space. No extreme
demands were made Of anyone.
Her explanation Of the terms "con-
servation and economy" was so plai
that there could be no confusing them.
,ne )Ol ted t. tn conservation as
did not always mean to use those
foods which were cheapest but to use
the more perishable ones leaving for
shipment those most needed and those
which could be most easily transport
ed. Miss Lange explained very clear
ly why we are asked to use the corn
and send the wheat across the water
use the syrups-and send the sugar,
etc. She declared that every true
loyal American is asked to conserve
not because there is lack Of the
various foods in the U. S. for our i'm
mediate needs, but because there is a
lack Of food stuffs in England, France,
and Italy and they are depending on
us to furnish them. She urged the
use, as far as possible Of the food
which were raised in the vicinity
leaving the railroad free to be used
by the government. In fact to place
the needs of our boys at the front be-
fore everything else.
In closing the speaker told the la
dies that the question Of food was one
Of the vital equestions of the war
that unless the soldiers were fed and
we'll fed it would be losing fight
for no one can fight on an empty
stomach. And therefore a great deal
depended on the housewife.
Miss Lange went with Miss Moss
ford in the evening and gave a talk
to the Progressive Farmers Club.
To the members of the two clubs,
the Gradatim and the Monday Musical
through whose influence the city was
privileged to hear Miss Lange, belong

slch stamps. If the twenty spaces
are filled during December, 1917, or
January, 1918, the cost to the pur-
chaser will have been S4.I2 for each
stamp or $82.4O for the filled certi-
fcate and on January ], 1923, the
government will redeem the certificate
at $1OO, giving the holder a net profit
of $17.6O for the use of his money.
Thrift stamps costing twenty-five
cents each are from time to time AS
purchased to be affixed to thrift cards,
which will be supplied without cost.
Thrift stamps will not bear interest,
but thrift card, when filled at cost
of 81 may be exchanged for war
savings stamp bearing interest at 4
per cent, compounded quarterly,
merely by turning the card in to the
postoffice, bank or other sales agency
and paying the difference between 81
and the current price of warsaw
ings stamp. The thrift stamp fea-
ture of the plan will afford an un-
paralleled opportunity for the small
investor to save in order to place his
or her money at interest with absolute
safety.
The privilege Of surrendering GER
tificate to the government and receiv-
ing the cost thereof, plus interest at
the rate of about per cent, has been
provided for the convenience of those
who may have bought certificates and
later on find themselves in need of
their money. 1t is hoped, however,
that this privilege will be exercised
only in cases of necessity. Upon ten
days written notice, after January l
next, postmasters will pay off certifi-
Gates at their cost to purchasers, plus
an increase of 1 cent month on each
war-savings stamp on the certificate
surrendered, as shown by a table of
value appearing on the certificate.
Under this plan, it will be absolutely
for a certificate or the
stamps thereon to depreciate in value,
nor can there ever be any question
that it is worth the price shown there
on.
Money derived from war savings in
vestments will be used to meet the ex-
penses Of the war. The greater part
of these funds will be expended within
the borders of the United States.

UNION LAWYERS
RETRACT CHARGE
AGAINST JUDGE
Withdraw Allegations of sun
fairness" and Apologize;
Leslie and Two Others
to Hear Case.

Afhdavits in support of motion
for a change of venue were with
drawn and apologies made by counsel
for Omaha labor unions after Judge
Leslie, sitting in equity court, had
sharply rebuked attorneys and char
acterized as Shameful" allegations
that he was biased and prejudiced"
against organized labor.
Arguments were made on the mo-
ton for change of venue in the in
junction suit brought by Attorney
General Reed against Omaha unions
and the Business Mems association.
Attorneys for the unions alleged in
petitions anp afidavits that Judge
Leslie was biased and prejudiced"
against union labor and asked the
case be sent to some other court and
tried before another judge.
Affldavits Are Read.
AffdavitS signed by several union
men were read in court by Anson
Blgelow, chief counsel for the un-
ions. These papers said "the sign
ers knew Judge Leslie and believed
him to be prejudiced against union
labor and in favor of the moneyed
classes"
Only couple of men who Signed
affldavits were in court.
Where are they-these men who
know me SO we'll and who think |
am prejudiced against union labor?"
asked the judge.
He declared. the allegations in the
atfldavits as false" and declared he
believed the men who signed them
did not know their contents.
1T is shameful attack OH the in
tegrity of the court" said Judge Les
lie from the bench.
Inc unions were represented at the
hearing by Attorney Bigelow and c.
N. Owens of Chicago, counsel for
the international Bricklayers' union.
Calls Other Judges.
Judge Leslie said, in view of the
attitude of the unions and their evi.
dent belief that he was prejudiced,
he would oall in two other district
court Judges to sit with him when
the injunction case comes up for hear
ing.
II will still, however. have control

IF attorneys had come to me out

asked some other Judge to hear it
and washed my hands of the case.
But open charges of that nature
make it necessary for me to defend
myself by keeping control of the case.
The presence of the other two judges
will do away with the biased and
'rejudiced' charges, even though they

Washington, July 25.-The admin
istration food control bill was sent
to conference i'll the house today un-
der rule without a record vote. Op-
position which developed yesterday
disappeared.
The house committee was instruct
ed by the rule only to disagree to all
senate amendments. Defeat of the

mittee, disapproved by the president
was presaged by this action.
The fight against sending the bill
to conference without separate vote

publican Leader Mann, completely
fattened out.
yThirty-one republicans joined 13S
democrats voting for the previous
question on the rule, adoption of
which eliminated all debate, and only
10l republicans voted against it. Rep
resentative Randall of California, pro-
hibitionist, was the only man on the
democratic side of the house to vote
with the l01 republicans.
On the motion to adopt the rule
democrats cast solid affirmative vote
and less than half dozen negative
votes, all from the republican side of
the house, were cast The conferees

PREPARING FOR
MOBILIZATION
OF DRAFT ARMY
Large Number Of Men Ex.
peCted to Be Awaiting
Call to CoIors by
August |.
By Associated Press.)

Washington, July 25.-Preparations
for actual mobilization of the national
army went ahead here today while
the local selection boards throughout
the country began summoning for
examination the men who will COM
pose the force. ...,.
1t is believed that a considerable
number of men will be selected and
awaiting the call to the colors before
August |. The entire force will be
ready, with the exception probably of
a few disputed cases, by the time the
sixteen cantonments are ready early
in September.
Provost Marshal General Crowder
pointed out today that the local
boards actually are selection, not ex-
emption boards. Their primary pur-
pose he said, was to select from reg
istered men those qualified for milf
tary service. The men they turn away
after examination will be rejected
rather than exempted, because of phy-
sical disability or dependents.
The Exemption Boards.
lhe exemption boards proper as
the district boards, which have power
to say whether the work a man is
doing at home will be more inpor-
tant to the government than his serv-
ices as soldier.
Information reaching Washington
indicates that the selection boards are
taking the view of their work that
makes that name fitting for them.
They are bent on finding men for
the army in the shortest possible time,
When they certify any man to the
higher boards as held for service the
man becomeya soldier and subject to
soldier law.
1t will be the duty of the provost
marshall general from that time on to
see that he complies with all army
orders affecting him and also TO turn
him over to the army authorities when
he is called to the colors.
Guards in Service.
The entire National Guard OF the
country, with the exception of troops ,
rom California and the southwestern
states, was in the federal service to-
hight under President Wilson's call.
The remaining units will be brought |
n August 5, on which day the whole
orce of probably 100000 men will be
irafted into the army of the United
states and will lose its status as mill
ia.

That Police Captain Dempsey will

Dempsey was the logical man for the

shown by his work to be best fitted
for the position"
Mayor Dahlman said from what he
knew Dempsey would be the next
chief of detectives. "lIe has been on
the force long time and has been a
credit to the department"
He said he had talked the matter
over with number OF commissioners
and that should Dempsey's name be
submitted by Chief Dunn he was pos
tive the vote would be unanimous for
his approval.
Captain Dempsey at present has
charge of the police force in his shift.

detectives he will have from fourteen
TO twenty men under him. The pay
tor captain of police and chief OF de-
tectives is the same. 1t is pointed
out, however, that should Dempsey
be given the detective job he would
have to work only days. AS police
captain he alternates night and day
shifts with Captain Heitfeld. As
senior police officer Captain Dempsey
becomes chief of police in absence Of
Chief Of Police Dunn.

L. F. Franklin and V. Jorgenson of
the Welfare board were on their way
to the Winspear Triangle at 10 o'clock
yesterday to serve papers on the
residents OF that place ordering them
to vacate, as the city council had
passed an ordinance converting it into
a dump. When they reached the bank
overlooking the triangle they saw
the home Of Frank Verebely burst
into flames. They turned in a fire
alarm at once, but before the depart

just the hose the homes of Alex Laso
and two neighbors, whose names
could not be secured, had also taken
fire.
Mrs. Laso Appears.
Mrs. Laso was not to be found and
Mr.. Laso was called from his work
in the Union Pacific shops. After
the fire had burned for some time
Mrs. Laso was seen running down
the railroad tracks toward her home.
Brushing by police officers, she un-
locked the door of her barn, which
was already half destroyed, and, en-
tering, emerged in a minute with the
tin box tucked safely under her arm.
The property was total loss to
the owners. Great difficulty was en-
countered by the fremen in reaching
the place, as the closest water main
