THE FEDERAL LAND
BANK OF BERKELEY

The Federal Land Bank Is in re-
ceipt of the following telegram from
Secretary of the Treasury William
G.. McAdoo and President Joyce will
appreciate any publicity you can get
for it:
No class Of our people are more
vitality concerned in the successful
prosecution of the war with Ger
many than the farmers. The value
of their products depends upon the
maintenance Of Americas right to
Freedom of the Seas. This right be-
ing one Of the chief things challeng-
ed by the German Kaiser in this
war, IL our commerce can be de-
stroyed at the will of any foreign
power at any time that II suits the
purpose of that power, as submission
to the German Kaiser's edict would
bring about, the farmers would be
unable to sell their surplus crops in
the open markets OF the world and
the value of our principal farm pro-
ducts would decline below the cost
OF production. America can never
surrender this vital right. We must
yindicate it. We can swiftly win
this war; maintain our prosperity
and secure the safety of our democ-
racy If we go forward with resolu-
ton and courage and support our
gallant armies now already in the
field.
ITO do this the farmers of the
United States as we'll as all other
classes of our people must lend their
money to the government by buying
United States Liberty Bonds which
bear four per cent interest and are
exempt from almost all taxation,
state, local and federal.
Farmers sons as we'll as the sons
of all classes OF American citizens
are now in the field We cannot
equip them with the arms and am
munition which will give them the
best chance to save their own lives
and to win the war quickly unless
the government can sell Liberty
Bonds from time to time.
1t is not only question Of saving
the rights and property of the farm
ers and of all the people of the Uni
ted States but also supporting our
sons vine have already been called

LINER is DRIVEN
ASHORE BY GALE

New York. Oct. 25.-New York
City and its environs were swept by
a terrific hurricane of wind and rain
which began at midnight and did
not cease until yesterday afternoon.
During the height of the storm 2
big American liner now in the gov.
eminent service. was blown upon the
mud flats off Bedloe's island. Tugs
and revenue cutter hurried to her
assistance. 1t was reported that she
was not seriously damaged.
Reports of falling trees, flagpoles
and electric wires came in from all
parts of the city and vicinity.
The storm drove tugs and barges
along the water front to shelter in
the nearest harbors. Between $780,.
600 and 100000 damage has been
done to small craft.

or and fighting ability we shall soon
re-establish a stable and just peace
in the world.
ut is the highest duty of patriot
ism of the farmers and every other
class of our people to support our
gallant soldiers in the war and up
hold Americas vital rights. The least
service any good citizens and patri-
OTIS can perform is to lend his money
to the government on the safest Sc

facts to all farmers in your commun-

Daintiness

seems to add SO much is the belt of
patent leather. Sometimes this is
quite narrow, from an inch to two
in width, and is placed slightly above
the natural waistline. Wide belts,
too, are very popular. One unusual
dress Of tan serge had white leath-
er belt nearly four inches wide with
the buckle fastening on the side in
stead of the front. Dresses, high
wasted, long wasted or regulation
wasted, seem to demand these belts.
Ideas For Leisure Hours
This is the time of year when
ones thoughts turn naturally to the
costumes worn in the house. Per-
haps it is the contrast between the
wonderful weather we are having
and the cold wet days to come, a
sort of forethought or a warning.
Negligees and house dresses are very
important things in this generation
OF individual dressing, and even the
most matter Of fact housewife glor-
les in her dainty lounging robe,
when she can relax and forget the
odds and ends necessary to keep the
wheels of housekeeping running
smoothly.
Daintiness and simplicity are the
first essentials; next comes approp-
riateness, for 1t is ridiculous to wear
thin silks. satins or dimities when
one needs warm wooden bathrobe
illustrated here is an ideal lounging
costume, and it depends on its de-
sign and the material used for its
beauty as it is absolutely without
any trimming but the tiny ruffles of
the same material. The large pock-
cts give a touch of practically. not
out of place; and the loose fit in
sures comfort.
Novel Boudoir Cap
"'i'y III the bouuolT' IL SOUNDS
like the title Of some exciting play,
does it not? In reality it is the very
newest model OF the boudoir cap.
Shaped like the French liberty cap,
1t may be of allover lace, of soft
satin or any of the other fascinat-
ing materials suitable for these dain-
ty affairs, Dutch caps are very pop
ular' and another odd design is the
cap shaped like the hat of a Chinese
coolie. There is nothing more well

PREPARING To PROVIDE
GIFTS FOR SOLDIERS

The time Is at hand when one be
gins to give thought to the coming
Christmas-tide, Many persons in Lo'
gan and Cache County will natural
ly wish to share the gladness and
good things of the season with the
American army and navy boys across
the water. ~
TO aid the generous ones at HON
in this commendable desire the Am
crican Red Cross Association has
perfected arrangements whereby the
Christmas mail for the soldiers and
sailors will be delivered on Christ
mas morning. However, the fullest
cooperation on the part of the pub
lie is necessary in order to accom-
plsh this result. One of the essen
tial points to be observed in this
cooperative work is immediate ac-
tion on the part of those contcm-
plating sending Christmas cheer
abroad as the gifts must soon be
forwarded to a central depot for dis
tribution.
While the Red Cross Association
is the agent for seeing that the
Christmas mail is collected and dis
trbuted, the Red Cross funds can
not be used in the purchasing of the
gifts, this must be done by individ-
uals or societies at home.
Furthermore. packages cannot be
accepted for delivery to any specific
person, although packages for indl-
vidual soldiers or sailors may be
made containing the name Of the
donor. The cost of the gift should
not exceed one dollar and fifty cents
1t is also urgently requested thNt
all persons having Christmas mail
for the soldiers and sailors and the
civilian units attached to the army
in Europe observe closely the fol-
lowing directions given by the Post
master General:
l. Mail to reach the soldiers in
France by Christmas morning must
be posted not later than November
Is.
2. Every package must bear con-
spicuously the words, christmas
mail" the complete address of the
person for whom it is intended, and
in the upper left hand corner the
name and address of the sender.
8. Every parcel must be so packed
and wrapped as to admit of easy in
spection by the postmaster. No
parcel will be dispatched to France
which has not the postmaster's GER
tificate that it contains no prohib-
tied articles.
Owing to the great demand on
transportation space, patrons are re-
quested to make their packages as
small as possible-preferably not to
exceed ten pounds in weight-as
smaller parcels will have to be Civ
en- preference in shipment in order
to accommodate the greatest num-
Der of persons.

BLOODHOUNDS TRAIL
FLEEING GERMANS

Atlanta, Ga, Oct. 25.-Lieut
Hans Berg, who brought the British
liner Appam to Hampton Roads, as
a prize, after its capture off the Az
ores by the German raider Moewe
nearly two years ago, was one of ten
prisoners whho escaped last night
from the alien enemy detention camp
at Fort Mcpherson. The other nine
were members of the crews of the
Appam and the famous commerce
destroyer Prinz Eitel Frederick.
Search for the prisoners turned to
Atlanta, whittier the military auth
critics believe they are heading
Bloodhounds traced the men from
the mouth of a tunnel extending
from their sleeping quarters to a
point outside the prison fence, to q
small stream mile from the fort
There the trail was lost and it was
believed the fugitives had waded in
the water to throw the dogs off the
scent. Their socks were found on
the bank.
The tunnel through which tbs
Germans escaped was about 100 feel
long and officers at the fort SAID

"Burnina Bush" Remarkable Plant.

The Burning Bush" which is known
to botanists as the Dictamnus fraXl-
nella, is regarded as one Of the most
wonderful plants in the world. This
plant Is native to western Asia,
though it is now found in some gar
dens of the temperate zone. In con-
nection with the Dictamnus 1t is rather
remarkable that the species Is common
where the incident of Moses and the
Burning Bush is said to have occurred.

BY Christmas the United States

No matter how generous a supply

with good things and good will
In order that the men may be

there may be a pleasing variety In
the contents, the following suggea-
tons are made for preparing and as
semblng the Christmas parcels;
l. Nothing should go into them
which will not keep fresh from the
time of packing until Christmas.
2. Dried fruits and other products
should be packed in small tin or in
wooden boxes, one quarter to one
half pound size,
g. Hard candy, including choco-
late, would probably be safe in tim
foil or heavy cardboard, but no soft
nor anything that could
possibly be crushed should be used
as the other contents of the pack
age might be spoiled thereby.
A. Several dainties packed in OBJ
long tin boxes, each holding a quar-
ter of pound, will provide better
variety for a package than a larger
quantity of single confection.
5. No liquids nor articles packed
in glass should be placed in the
package.
6. For wrapping the gifts, use a
khaki colored handkerchief, twenty
seven inches square, and form the
base of the pad by placing on the
center of the handkerchief a pad of
writing paper about seven by ten
inches.
Z Select variety of articles,
either from the suggested list or ac-
cording to individual wishes, to an

range them on the pad of paper so
that the entire package shall be the
width of the pad and approximate
ly five or six inches high.
s. Wrap and tie with one inch red
ribbon and place a Christmas card
under the bow of ribbon. A card
bearing the greetings of the chapter
would be desirable.
Q. Wrap the parcel again in heavy

LAHOMA COPPER CO., GETS REPORT

The Lahoma Copper Company is
now getting out IA car Of ore Tor ship
ment to the III Paso Smelter. Does
that look like "A prospect, or Il mine?
We have Over 500 o n of good ship
ping ore on the dumps and in order
to get out more it is only necessary TO
drill the holes in the enormous veins
and shoot out the ore. No expensive
shaft sinking to find out if the Min
ing Engineer was n good guesser or
not. II is the intention of this com
PAM to be conservative with the funds
of the treasury and make every dol
lar spent bring a fair return. We in
tend to build "a concentrating plant at
once only using the high grade ore
for this purpose and later on to- add
as a unit an Oil Floating Machine,
this machine to be used on the concen-
trating tailings and low grade ores
which will pay the expense Of opera
ton and leave the high grade concen-
trates to pay dividends to the stock
holders with.
Do not delay. If you want to be in
on the first dividends, buy stock today.
The price is 20 cents per share. This
price will not last long for AS soon
as the smelter returns are had on the
car now being got out this stock price
is going up. We expect it 70 be of
par value in thirty days. Very easy
money Is made on the increase in value
of anything that is purchased, but as
a rule take for instance, the great

stock a short time back was selling
at 35 cents per share in Arizona. To-
day this same stock is worth as many

PHENOMENAL raise of the Copper

price per pound for many years to
come and that means dividends to the
stockholders of copper companies. AL

in on the ground floor. Make "a for

come to them. BUY LAHOMA

SHARE. Come to our Office and talk
the matter over with us. We will be
glad to explain in detail any point.
Look at the samples. Look at the
actual photographs which were taken
on the ground by Mr.. X. A. NOVEL; Of
Tucumcari, n. NJ. These photos shows
the ore on the dumps, shafts and tun
nels and timber and water. Timber
and water are a most valuable asset in
the mining business and to have this
material at hand is certainly going
to cut down the cost of operation to
the Minimum.
The Lahoma Copper Company has
eleven hundred feet of shaft and tun-
mel work done on the property; this
means a great saving in time and en-
pense. Some road building will be
necessary in order to get to the prop
erty with an automobile but today IA
person can get to within two miles of
the property easy with a car. The
Scenic Highway is about two miles
from the mines. 1t will cost in the
n~eighborhood of $500 to build this
road to the camps.
Buy today at % cents per share.
Tomorrow may be too late.

office, lst door north of the Post Office
in the Gerhardt building.
