The county officials have been doing
their bit in the matter of conserving
fuel but have done it in a way that has
caused little or no inconvenience to
anybody in the court house. All the
rooms on the second floor except those
# the justices. and the grand Jury
room on the first floor have been shut
off from the other part of the building,
Just enough heat being kept in those
radiators to prevent them from freez-
ing This means that there is little
heat in the rooms which are now I'M
occupied. There are two boilers for
heating the building. Coal has been
used in one and wood in the other, but
with the wood that has been used in
the fireplaces it can be said that wood
is the principal fuel used in heating the
building.

THIRD LIBERTY LOAN BOND
ISSUE TO COME IN MARCH
New $4O0, 100000 Issue of Treasury
Certificates Offered in Prepare
tion-Will Be Announced
Later

A report from Washington, D. c..
OF few days ago states that as the
first financial step in preparation for the
third liberty loan, Secretary McAdoo
announced new issue of $500, 000,-
600 treasury certificates Of indebted
mes, bearing four per cent from January
%, and payable April Do.
Subscriptions will be received by
Federal reserve banks at par and accrued
interest until January 2o, and payment
must be made by that date. The
certificates will be received in payment
of third liberty loan subscriptions.
This arrangement indicates that the
first payment on the third liberty loan
will be on or about April %, and that
if the same plan OF installment pay
ments is maintained for the third as for
the second loan, the bond selling cam
paign will be in March. For the second
loan, the first payment was made two
weeks after the close of the months
campaign.
For the third time since the United
States started its big war financing
movement. subscriptions will be re-
ceiver simultaneously for two current
issues of certificates, since an issue OF
so-called tax certificates is still open.
On the latest issue Secretary Nc
Adoo reserved the right to reject any
subscription, to allot less than the
amount applied for, to close the sub
scription books at any time, and redeem
the certificates before their maturity
date. The certificates will be in de-
nominations of $1,000. $4,000, $40, 900
100000. They are exempt from all
taxes, except estate and inheritance
taxes, income surtaxes and excess
profits. Interest on $4,000 worth OF
certificates owned by any one person or
interest also is exempt from income
surtaxes and excess profit taxes.

FARMERS AND OTHER INDUS
TRIES IN SAME BOAT

The war has brought farming into
prominence as one of the great in
dustries of the nation. 1t has brought
to the farmer the same problems which
for years have been confronting other
lines Of industry.
Efficient help to which formerly the
farmer hardly gave thought to is now
almost impossible to secure. Wage
questions which used to be OF small
consequence are now great item to
the farmer and the day seems to be
close at hand when hours of work and
wage scale will be set for the farmer by
labor organizations. Equipping his
farm with modern machinery is another
of the farmers problems.
The foregoing are few Of the main
issues faced today by all lines OF in
dustry and the farmer equally with the
manufacturer is interested n con-
sentative policies which encourage the
development OF the state and tend TO
hold down and reduce city, county and
state taxation.
