LIBERTY BONDS CAN'T BE
USED FOR L. s. TAXES

To the Editor: This Office is TO-
day in receipt of the following advice
from the commission of internal rev
enue which information may be used
by you as news item without ex-
pense to the government.
Correspondence reaching this Of
flee indicates that persons have been
enormously advised that Liberty
loan bonds will be accepted In pay
ment of taxes due the United States
Liberty loan bonds cannot be ac-
cepted in payment of such taxes. To
accept these bonds for taxes would
defeat the revenue ends"
Such publication will greatly aid
the government in clarifying this
matter and will be appreciated.

every inch OF available ground to
yield the maximum crop this year.
We can be independent of the out

stuffs if we will.
Buy Liberty bonds, thrift stamps
and all the rest, but don't overlook
the kitchen garden as one Of the
most formidable enemies that Bill
OF Berlin will have TO meet in the
spring drive.
Get your seeds now. The supply
is short all over the country. Divide
what you saved last year with your
neighbor Exchange and thus con-
serve the depleted supply.
Clean up every old barn yard in
the country and get the fertilizer out
where It will raise something be-
sides flies and stencil. Don't let II
raise weeds after you put It on the

Begin TO caress the hoe handle
daily so blisters will not form the
