TION STAGED FOR NEXT WEEK

The first Democratic convention is

|LIEOT. BLAKE MAY
RETURN TO AMERICA
Letters Indicate He May Be
Sent Back to United
States.

Reports reaching this city indicate
that Lieut. G. o. Blake, now in hos
pital in France is likely to be returned
to the United States. The news comes
indirectly from other Hamilton county
oldiers in the same hospital with Lieut..
Blake.
Several letters have reached hero
from these men saying that Lieut..
Blake will soon be returned to this
country. He was gassed during the big
st. Mihiel drive and has been in the
hospital since. Gas effects the lungs
and heart and reports are that Lieut..
Blake will be returned to this country,
probably to a, reconstruction hospital.
His parents here have had several let
ters from him of late, but he has writ
ten nothing to indicate his return home.

The Home Front.

The battle front in Europe is not the
only American front. There is a home
front, and our people at home should
be as patriotic as our men in uniform
in foreign lands.
Every American soldier who has
fallen in France, every American sailor
who has died for his counthy's cause
has given his life for his people. Sure
~ we, their people, can lend our money
to our nation, their country.
The fourth Liberty loan is the fight
ing loan. Its great success will bring
comfort and encouragement and a deep
sense of pride to- our army and our
navy, and to our allies; it will bring
Encouragement to our enemies. Its
success means American victory, Prus-
sian defeat.
The fourth loan is the fighting loan,
the soldiers loan.

blooded hogs are here today for the

In addition to the various swine, ex-
hibits Of the United States and British

when the show opened at noon.
The famous pair OF Durocs which
cleaned up mt various state fairs and
big shows throughout the<country are
entered by their Nebraska owner and
are pitted against the eastern champs
which are ARRIVING today.

A Soldiers Life.

4 Private James Pritchard of Buffalo
Center, now with the Rainbow division
in France, is a close friend OF L. y
Kayser of this city. He has written a
letter to the Buffalo Center Tribune,
which in part follows:
We were in one artillery barrag sc
that lasted two hours and half. That
was terrible, the noise was terrific ard
thousands of guns working constantly.
The German losses were very heavy
and ours not many. The sky was red
whit fire and surely wonderful sight
to see. 1t seemed in that bOmbardment
no living being could live through it,
but our company had only six killed
and about twenty wounded on July L..
l was buried once and half covered up
several times. Shrapnel flew by me
several times that did not miss me an
inch. Shells knock one down and you
just get up on your feet when another
one whistles by. l hope to return
home and tell you all.

Buying Bonds.

Eds. Freeman-J ournal: In regard to
buying bonds, there is one thing to be
taken into considerat ton, and that is
the difference in the value of money at
the time of purchasing and the time of
payment. Since the war commenced,
money has deprecated about so per
cent. Now it is very hard to explain
why hundred dollars the government
gives us when our bond comes due is
worth more than the, hundred we pay
for it, but it's true, nevertheless.
For example: Suppose we were to
use something else as a medium of ex-
change at Webster City instead Of mon
ity. If we were to pay for our bond in
corn, we would have to take about so
bushels, of corn to the bank to get Il
500 bond. Now according to the aver
age price. of corn during peace times,
the government, when the bonds come
due, would have to give 200 bushels of
corn to pay up the bond.
Prices may not go back as low as
they were but the talk of peace at one
time caused wheat to drop IL cents in
one day So now is the best opportun-
ity we shall have to save up money, for
the time to do it is while money is
cheap. When these bonds come due,
one hundred dollars will go great
deal farther than one hundred dollars
at the present time and we shall have
the interest besides.
But if we can't afford to ho]i the
bonds, the buying of bonds is not Il
hardship. am paying ten per cent in
terest on real estate. If decide to sell
my bonds, l am simply hiring someone
to do my share, which it seems to me
would be legitimate. l would have to
discount my bonds about 4 per cent to
sell them, although the first issue has
been selling above par. My apportion-
ment was $3.50. If sold, them for 96
per--well, figure it up. The govern
ment has asked some to give their lives.
OF me it has really asked $40.
