many abuses prevalent in the past
such as cutthroat methods adopted hy
mills to secure supplies and indiserimi-
nate moving of wheat to terminals.
For all practical purposes the wheat
business of the country is apportioned,
and whenever. possible mills are sup
piled from wheat i'm the territory near

iect the saving of waste in transpor-
tation. In another way saving is
made: Formerly large quantities Of
undorgrade Wheats have been difficult
to dispose of on account of unco oordl-
mated purchase of the competing mills;
but under Uncle Sans domination
each hushel of wheat must now 90

sirable grades.

CONVERSION OF LIBERTY BONDS.

consequence Of the issue of four per cent bonds of
the Third Liberty Loan will expire on November
nine next and under existing law can not be ex-
tended or renewed Delay in exercising the'priv-
ilege will result in over-burdening the banking
institutions of the country and the treasury de-
partment by making it necessary to handle all con
versions at the last moment and may result in
many cases in the loss of the privilege Of conver
sion altogether
Holders of coupon bonds are strongly advised
to exchange them for registered bonds in order to
protect themselves against the risk of loss theft
and destruction of their bonds.

ter Of patriotic service will doubtless all assist

THE GOVERNMENT MEANS 1T.

Work or fight" is the governments order
and it means just what it says Every man who
is not doing necessary or useful labor had best
realize the truth right now and get on good job

other He must do either that or fight. IF wo-
man can do his work, one will soon be doing it,
Men must do mems work nowadays.
It is no time for dillydallying. The govern
ment doesn't dillydally. The work or fight ord
er is going to go into effect swiftly War work
must be done and done on time to keep the Hun
running. It will be done ahead Of time So it
behooves all men who will be affected by the

Every American should strive to give genu-
inc assistance to his government at this critical
time. He should not be satisfied with only a
public display Of patriotism and public show Of
cooperation with his country. Subscribing for
Liberty Loan bonds is assisting the government
and the soldiers. But still greater help the sub
scriber give is to to it that he keeps these
bonds for which he subscribes, thereby making
them worth their full value to the country which
issues them and to the cause for which they is
sued
The Holly chieftain., 1918-09-12

Interest coupons Third Liberty Bonds will
soon be due. Why not buy War Savings Stamps
with them? This question is being propounded all
over the United States to the owners Of the bonds
and many are responding to the appeal. It helps
Uncle Sam and it increases the savings account
Of those who thus use their coupons.
