BEGIN WAR BOND DELIVERY
SEPTEMBER IS Aatr
Distribution of Issue to Subscribers
Will Require Several
Weeks.

| Washington, Sept. I8.-Delivery o.
liberty bonds to subscribers, Secre.
tary McAdoo announced Tonight, viii
begin on September 26. The twelve
federal reserve banks will distribute
the issue. Considering the probable
retention by many subscribers of in.
term certificates already issued; Of
ficials estimate that the work of dis
tribution will require several weeks.
The huge issue is larger in the
number of bonds required than first
reports, based on more than 4,ooo,-
900 individual subscriptions indicat-
ed The number of coupon bonds
Secretary McAdoo announced to-
night. is estimated by federal reserve
banks as in excess of 8,7oo,ooo pieces,
of which more than 1000, ooo.are of
the $50 and $Ioo denominations.
In announcing the date for the
commencement of deliveries, Secre-
tary McAdp repeated his suggestion
that holders of interim certificates
would find it to their advantage i.
many instances to hold the certif-
Gates, instead Of exchanging them for
bonds, until congress disposes of the
bill authorizing 4 per cent interest
rate on the next offering.
1T is apparent reads Secretary
McAdoo's statement. that if pend
ing legislation should be enacted
bearing interest at higher rate than
I2 per cent per annum and exempt
from the normal income tax, in view
Of the resulting privilege of CONVEX
sion, the demand for definitive 3 IL
ser cent liberty bonds, particularly
hose of the small denominations.
would be greatly reduced.
Employers, banks, trust companies
md others are urged to aid in re-
ieving the government and the sub
whom they represent for
rouble and expense incident to the
lelivery of great numbers of bonds
n small denominations at this time.
in cases where subscrib-
RS have not made payment in full for
heir bonds, by accepting and procur
ng the acceptance in the first in
lance of bonds of the largest demon
nations possible, and of registered
onds rather than coupon bonds in

J. Fl. Carpenter of Marina, Col, did
not know there was "a war between
the United States and Germany and
believed the registration under the
Selcctive Draft Law was a registra-
ton for an election, he told officers
at Pueblo, Colo, Saturday when he
was arrested for failure to register.
Carpenter said a rancher for whom
he worked kept him in ignorance of
the draft, and as he took no news
papers, he was unaware of the war.

The Kaiser's Deceit,

Washington, Sept. I5.-".All is not
gold that glitters,' particularly if the
Hohenzollerns are in anyway con-
oerned. An Italian army officer here
today gave ample proof of the old
adage.
The 10000 franc gold cup or
fered by the kaiser in the famous
1912 4oo-mile automobile race, won
bysNazzaro. an Italian driver, was
recently turned over to the Italian
government. When the cup reached
the melting pot, it was discovered
that a thin layer of plate was the
only precious metal about the Teu-
ton trophy.

Pledge Cards Distributed By
Scool Children

School children in Newark en-
tered upon the fulfillment of the
first specific duty assigned them in
helping Uncle Sam to win the war
on Monday, when they began the
circulation of the Hoover pledge
cards, according to the plan advo-
Gated by State Commissioner of
Education. A. R. Spaid
Cards were circulated on Mon
day to every child in the grades,
asking the little citizens to take
them to their homes, and get them
signed. Where this plan brings
more than one card into home the
children are instructed to take the
extra cards to other families in the
neighborhood.
Many cards have already been
returned with signatures. The
first three days of the week will be
devoted to the enrolment of fam
lilies represented in the school, and
the last to all other families.

PARENT-TEACHER
MEETING WELL
ATTENDED
Miss Blodgett Tells Why We
Must Save

A largely attended meeting of the
Newark Parent Teacher Association
was held last Thursday afternoon in
the Grammar School. Principal Koch
Ter, in a short talk, suggested fine
lyceurn course for the town. Miss
Blodgett, new State leader of home
demonstration work, was the principal
speaker. In an earnest talk, Miss Blod-
gett explained why, if Germany is not
to win the war, housewives of Amer
lea MUST conserve all the fats-beef
and pork--sugar and wheat.
"Before the war;" she said, Ger
many produced four-ffths of her food,
England only one-ffth. Now Ger
many has her own vast acreages in
tact, and in addition certain tracts in
France, Belgium, and Russia, under
cultivation by prisoners of war. We
can thus see, what the United States
must do for France and England"
The committee appointed at the last
meeting to inspect the school build
ings, reported in detail. A resume of
the report will be given in next week 8
issue.

Lightning Struck Two
Barns And Bank

The severe electrical and rain
storm of Saturday night did con-
siderable damage north of Newark.
Lightning struck the barn of Ne
wall Good, a merchant at Kembles-
vile, but fortunately did not set
fire to the building. It damaged the
roof and the bolt confined down to
the ground floor. One of the
freaks of this bolt of lightning was
that it torn apart a shovel on the
ground floor but did no other
damage.
The barn of Morton Brothers,
near Russelville, Pa, five miles
from Oxford was also struck by
lightning and burned to the
ground. The reflection of this
blaze could be seen in Newark.
The oxford (Pa.) National Bank
was also struck by lightning Sat-
urday night, and damaged con-
siderably.

and a goodly amount of oatmeal
instead of wheat in the cakes.

Newark banks on Monday morn
ing reported subscriptions to the
Second Liberty Loans, amounting
to $104,300. Owing to the fact that
many large amounts were sub

the local drive, it is impossible to
give the exact figure, representing
the sum subscribed by residents of
Newark.

It is best to pack the dried fruits
