ben AND BOYS FIRST!

The farmers will need human help
TO handle and harvest the vast acre
ages needed to produce enough bread
for the Nation and the Allies. This
work calls for Drawn, muscle, physi-
cal endurance. Time to think of wo-
men at heavy work in the fields when
there are no more American men and
boys to be spared from store, Office or
factory.
No business save fighting and pro-
viding the things fighters must have
TO win battles is more important than
producing enough food. Give your
attention to food production on some
farm. Help your employees to get
out to the farms at harvest and other
critical seasons.
Follow your flag t. the burrows.

STATUE OF FREDERICK

Washington, April 19-The bronze

banks of the Potomac here, was re-
moved in sections to-day and packed
away for safe keeping.
officials feared that the statute
might be defaced or destroyed.
1t was recalled to- day that in the
heated days of the civil war the
name of Jefferson Davis, secretary of
war in the days preceding the con-

Southern Confederacy, was erased
from the arch of bridge spanning
the Potomac. Many years afterward
the name was replaced at the direc-

NICKELS WILL BUY BONDS.

The lowly nickel, which hitherto
has not been given much considera-
ton in matters of large financial i'm
portance, is being called to the colors
in Livington County, Mo, and enlist
ed for active service to do its share
in the Third Liberty Loan.
The school children Of that county
have formed the Livingston Nickel
Club, for the purchase of Liberty
Bonds and set aside April 8 as the
day upon which every school child in
the county will bring to school nick
ell, or as many of them as he or she
can command, with which to buy
Third Liberty Bonds.
The plan has the full approval Of
the school officials of Livingston
County, and of the Women's Liberty
Loan Committee of Missouri, which
has taken over the sale of the bonds
to the school children of Missouri
According to the Livingston County
Nickel Club idea, the bonds thus pur-
chased will be deposited with local
trust company and the accumulated
interest used for the support of the
orphans of American soldiers and
sailors.

CONVERTED BOND
keeps Old DATE
Holders In First And Second
Loans May Change On
That Basis.

Washington, April 13.-Consid-
cradle doubt still seems to exist in the
public mind and also among the bank
ers and business men generally as ia
the conversion privileges of the first
and second 4 per cent Liberty bond
into the present Ans. One question
in particular that is a subject of in
ouiries. coming from Kentucky and
other states, is whether holders of the
first and second As, which run
thirty and twenty-five years, respec-
lively, could convert them into the
new AIS and receive a ten-year 4 "a
per cent bond.
Holders of the first and second As
can convert their present bonds into
Az per cent bonds, but they can not
get in exchange ten-year IA per cent
bonds. The rules governing CONVEX
sion stipulate that when bonds OF one
issue are converted into a subsequent
issue of higher rate, the interest dates
and maturity dates of the original
bonds remain unchanged. Therefore
holders of the second As, who convert
into the 4A s, will receive a bond OF
exactly the same maturity as their
present bonds, the only difference
being that the conversion bond will
yield Az per cent interest.
This same rule applied to the 3 12s,
which were converted into the second
As. the conversion As, or first As, as
they are called. These converted 3 u S
retain the same interest and maturity
dates as the original 8 1as. Holders
of these conversion As now have the
option of reconverting into the 4As,
but the interest and maturity dates
still will remain the same as on the
original 8 12s.
The 91bs mature in 1947, but the
government has the option of retir-
ing them in 1882; the second As ma
ture in 1947, the government having
the option of retiring them in 1927.
The third series, 414s, mature in
1928. being ten-year bonds.
Banks which handle the partial
payments in connection with the sale
of Liberty bonds by means of collat-
eral notes will be benefited by sec
ton of the War Finance Corporation
bill, which relieves them from the tax
of . cents per 500 on all such notes.
Section sol of the bill provides:
"That no stamp tax shall be required
or imposed upon a promissory note
secured by the pledge of bonds or OBJ
legations of the United States issued
after April "a, 1917, or secured by
the pledge of a promissory note which
itself is secured by the pledge of such
bonds or obligations, provided that in
either case the par value of the bonds
or obligations shall equal the amount
of such note"
: A good many bankers used promis-
sorry notes during the first and second
loan campaigns to secure the de-
ferred payments, and where individ-
ual subscriptions ran up into the
thousands in number the tax was con-
siderable.

Provost Marshall General Crowder
Mobilization of the men is ordered

be sent to eleven forts and recruiting
barracks. probably for training Will
regular army units there.
This call increases to more thar
100000 the number of selectmen or
dered to camp since late in March
This is far in excess of the monthly
average that would have been mob
ilized under the original plan to cal
100000 men this year over a nine
month period. Future calls at the
same rate would complete the pro.
gram before midsummer.

Troops now are moving to Europe
at a rapid rate and this clearing OF
training camps will permit of the
calling of men much faster than was
contemplated before the German of
fensive made it imperative to rush
men to the battlefronts.
Although every state and the Dis
trict of Columbia are called upon to
furnish men under Gen. Crowder's
latest order, nearly half of the 49,S43
men will come from seven states. Ill
inois will supply by far the largest
number, its quota being S,047. Penn

York third with 3,542, Michigan
fourth with 1888. Missouri fifth with
2,1G2, Wisconsin sixth with 2,135
and Ohio seventh with 1850. Nevada

furnish less than 100 men.
