MAN NHO FAILS TO
 BUY BONDS IS BE|hG
 FOUND OUT, MARKED
Stigma Will Remain Upon the Slack. CTS Long After the War
 Is Over.

One by one the men who have re fused and are refusing 10 buy Liberty Bonds are being found out.
 They had an easier time of 1t when the first two loan drives were under way. The country was not in such deadly earnest about this war as 1t is now. We were taking for granted that buy bond and buy just as many as possible.
 People did not look as closely for the button on the coat and for the Lib erty Loan flag in the window as they are looking now. The man who walks the streets now without some visible sign and emblem that he is a bond purchaser is followed by eyes that grow angry as they watch him. The house in any neighborhood that Is without bond flag in its window is & marked house. People stare at 1t curl ously. They eye it resentfully.
 Won't Be Forgotten.
 The bond stacker is marked man in any community He Is being re membered by his neighbors. Nor will his sins against patriotism and loy- alty be soon forgotten. The memories of this war will live a long time It is always so with wars and what comes after them. He will be pointed out as long as he lives. The memory of his failure and his weakness will be held against his children.
 There are some places where the man who fails to buy is being ostra- cised by his neighbors and his old friends. If they know he Is able to buy they are not asking for his req sons. Reasons are not asked It is sufficient that a man failed when his time came, when the opportunity was offered
 With the whole nation working as it never worked before to raise the most gigantic war loan in all history, the man who does not buy is finding 1t harder than ever to hide his short comings He is being found out and in the vast majority of cases the prop CT punishment is being applied by those around him.

me opening of the Fourth Liberty Bond campaign has revealed the fact that many pastors and churches over the country have worked continuously as Liberty Bond boosters from the first, instead of resting from their la bors in the interims of the issues. Between the issues there were no bonds to buy, but the Government would soon need another loan from the people and it was well to be ready.

 A slngle One Hundred Dollar Bond will feed a soldier in France for eeven months. The second One Hundred Dollar Bond that you buy will give him $35 rifle. bayonet and all com plete. and furnish him enough car tridges to fire hundreds of rounds at the Hun.

MOORE FINALLY GIVEN
LEASE SUMNER LAKE
Is Confident That Lake Bed
Contains Various Valu-
able Salts.

After six or eight years effort TO fl.
nance project to extract valuable
minerals from the bed of Summer lake,
in Lake county, Jason G. Moore was to.
day awarded a supplementary lease on
the lake by the state land board. His
original lease was renewed many times
and finally expired this year. He has
assigned his interests to the Pacific
Chemical company, in whose name the
supplemental lease was executed.
With the expiration of the original
lease Moore forfeited $4,000 he had
deposited with the state as a guarantee
fund. Today he requested the land
board to remit to him the interest
which the $4,000 has earned cunng
the time it has been in the hands of the
state, but Governor Withycombe and
Secretary of State Oleott opposed the
request, which was not granted.
Mr.. Moore is confident that the lake
bed contains sodas and various salt
formations which can be extracted at
a profit to his company and to the
state. Under the terms Of the supple
mental lease he will pay the state the
same royalties as were provided in the
original lease. Beginning with 1920,
the minimum payment to the state will
amount to $2500 annually for three
years and will then increase until it
reaches $4,000 a year,
