GIBSON URGES
FLOUR SAVING

To the people of Hood River County
The United States government is
now making the strongest, deepest
appeal to us to do more-to do our ut
most in saving wheat The appeal is
made that we take the total abstain
er's pledge The government defines a
total abstainer as one who uses less
than one-half pound Of wheat flour
products in week. Should not,
should you not, take such pledge2 If
not why not? Use other foods, but
save wheat. Humanity calls. Save,
SAVE wheat.
A stirring, soulful call is being made
to any family having more than 50
pounds of flour to return the excess.
These returns are reported to the fed
eral government from all over the
country and an equal amount is re-
leased at the Atlantic seaboard for
shipment to the allies and our own SOL
dier boys in France. If you or | have
more than 50 pounds Of wheat flour, on
bended knees let US hold a conference
with our conscience and our God ther
do the right thing. Several barrels Of
| flour have already been returned in
Hood River. The men and women who
have returned this flour have never
acted more nobly. Let us act and act
now. In the name Of God. for our owr
good and for the good of humanity, let
US act now. Let us return our excess
flour. Vital, deep issues are at stake
Sincerely, l.. b. Gibson.

BOND BUYERS PAY
ACCRUED INTEREST

Purchasers Of Liberty bonds who do
not pay in full for their subscriptions
before or on May 9, the date of the
Third Liberty Loan issue, must pay
accrued interest. Thus, if you wait
for three months to make full payment
for the bond, you must pay the bank
carrying you the amount of the accrued
interest. This really costs the pur-
chser Of the bond nothing, for he will
be reimbursed by the coupon. when it
is clipped at date of maturity.
No rebate of interest will be allowed,
either on account of full payment in
advance of May 9, 1918, or on account
of the first installment of five per cent.
Upon completion of payment for the
bonds on May 28, July Is or August Is,
1918, the subscriber will be required to
pay accrued interest from May 9, 1918,
on the deferred installment or Install
ments at the rate Of Al per cent per
annum.
Some misapprehension regarding the
word "convertibility used in connec-
tion with Third Liberty Loan bonds,
seems to have arisen in che minds Of
lllt publlN.
Edward Cookingham, state executive
chairman, gave out the following state
ment Saturday, regarding the meaning
Of the words
Il would like to make it plain to all
purchasers of bonds at the Third Lib
erty Loan bonds are both negotiable
and transferable and in that respect do
not differ at all from the First and
Second issues of Liberty Bonds.
"The word 'convertibility' has no
reference whatever to the negotiability
of the bonds. This particular issue is
not convertible into any other bonds
which may be issued later in the war,
but that does not mean that the bonds
are not negotiable or transferable OF
deliverable in the freest possible man.
