not afford to pay at the rate of s4 a week installments On the other hand some. if not many, banks refused to take sub- scrptions unless payments of this kind were made. For explanation the bank officers said that the banks lost money when the first and second liberty in stallment loans were floated because the interest they were compelled to pay for borrowed money was greater than the in- terest they received for carrying the bonds. Many hundreds, perhaps thou sands, of individual investors who are wage earners would have subscribed for a $50 bond if they were permitted to pay a dollar a week. This has been called to the attention of the government, and the presumption is that when the fourth Liberty Loan is offered arrangements will be made similar to those which were established in New York city whereby it will be possible for any wage earner anywhere in the United States to secure $50 bond if he pays g down and s1 a week thereafter

The oversubseription to the s3.0oocO0,oel loan has caused enthusiastic comment on the verified reports that a least l''- oO0000 and possibly 2o0oo,001 American citizens have invested in these secnri- ties issued by their government.

POLITICAL CHANGE
MAY JUNK JUDEN
Democrats Fear Postmaster May
Not Be ReappOin:ed- OppOs-
ed Reed And Folk

The election Of a Republican Con
gressman from this district and the
| changing of the political complexion
of the United States Senate from
Democratic TO II publican, has caused
,Ocai Democrats to speculate on the
future of Tom Judcn, the local post
master.
Juden's appointment dos not ex-
pre- until after the new Congress
takes its seat All appointments
wiz then have to be approved by the
Senate, which will be Republican.
With Juden minus champion from
this Congressional district, his friends
fear he might not fare so we'll
Juden has always been an ;4nti-Rec
and Stone Democrat, and took an i'm
portant part IN an effort to prevent
the Cape County Democrats from
endorsing Stone and Reed almost ,
years ago. He will therefore not get
much support from Reed, his
friends fear.
Juden is charging Mayor Haas
with being behind movement to
put the kids under him, but the
Mayor declares he is not an applicant
for the pOstmastersh;p. 1t is rum
ored that Ben Vineyard WI try and
replace Juden. Vinyard was a strong
Folk man and Juden openly opposed
him. Friend of Vineyard say Folk
might d stributc some of the politi-
cal PIE in those congressional dis
tricts which switch Il to the Republi-
can column in the asst election. But
with Mr.. Ru sci! out of the official
circles in Wash ngton, it is d fore
gone conclusion that ether Senator
Reed CT Mr.. FOX will have something
to say in the postmastership situation.
The Folk men are very hostile 10

recent campaign.
