time to remit the money to San
Francisco 50 it will reach that place
on May 2S. the second payment
period.
Many who have subscribed on the
partial payment plan do not seem TO
understand that they must pay
accrued interest on all deferred pay
ments at the time they make fuai
payment. This interest is gotten
back by the subscriber when he cashes
his hrst interest coupon.
For The benefit OF these who sub :

Ing information is given:
Payments should be made at the
bank through which your subscription
was sent, at least four days before
such payment becomes due to the
government, 10 order that the bank
may have time to report and remit
the money to San Francisco, SO it will
reach the Federal Reserve Bank at
that place on the date said payment
is due.
The dates for deferred payments, as
fixed by the government. are as
follows, to wit:
May S.l9lS, 20 0 c, or $40 on a
$50 bond.
July 1S,l9lS, 35 p c., or $3.50 on a
$50 bond.
August IS, 1918, 40 p. or $40 on a
$50 bond
With accrued interest on deferred
payments from May 8, 1918.
Final payments may be made at
any time by paying accrued interest
to next payment date.
Example. it is desired to make
inal payment on $50 bond on or
before May oath, 1918, the accrued
interest will amount to-
tne sum OF llc.
on or before July IA, .... 35c.
on or before Aug. IL, ... Az.
II people making payments will
observe the above rules and include
their interest, according to the above
schedule when making 1nal pay
ments, it would save great deal of
trouble and unnecessary correspond
ence.
If the government did not charge
accrued interest on deferred payments
it would be loser, for it would be pay
lug interest on part of the price OF
the bond during time that it did not
have the use Of the money which is
held back by the subs bscribcr who
makes his payments in installments.
Then, also, 1t would be unfair for
anyone to expect to make interest on
money that he had not yet paid over
to the government. All the bonds
draw interest from May 8, and the
government, by charging interest on
money not paid in on or before that
date is simply withholding interest
on the money that has not been paid
in.
Subscribers, who want all the in
terest on their bonds, should have
made full payment on Or before May
8; If they want all the interest on
their bonds after May %. they should
make tnal payment on or before May

This is no longer an academic

C.. C.. Jackson Asked To Furnish
Information in "a Hours.

furnish this office with an estimate
on the number of German males over
IA years of age in Kansas" The above
telegram that was received by c. c.
jackson, deputy U. S. marshal. this
morning from the department of JUS
tice in Washington. This seems to be
rather a hurry up order falling as it
did out of a clear sky. 1t also eX-
presses by inference considerable ap-
probation of Jackson's ability and his
knowledge of war conditions in Kan
SaS.
81 am unable to say with any de-
gree of accuracy the number of Ger
mans in the state over IA years of age,
but 1 can state authoritatively that
there are at this time 2S,S 07 German
born males in the state" Jackson said.
81 will be able to give fairly correct
estimate from this, but twenty-four
hours is sure a short time to furnish
information of such a character
Both the telegram and the state
ment of Jackson indicate that the
federal government is losing no time
in following out the lessons learned by
England and other of the allies in the
early months of the war.

NOT FOR KANSAS

Not So Long as. Bone Dry Law

S. Hirsch Distilling company has
brought action in the United States

of Missouri seeking to provide for
shipment of the tonic to Kansas. The
American Express company refused
to receive the tonic for transport to

Brewster Thinks Soldiers Can
Vote Under Present Law.
Special Session of Legislature
May Not Be Needed.
PRESENT STATUTE SUFFICIENT
for Governor Wants
"Boys" To Have Ballot.
And He Knows Allen VIII Be
"Over There" Too!

Kansans in army service in Europe
may vote next fall without the aid OF
special state legislation, according to
the unofficial opinion today of S. NJ
Brewster, attorneX general. While
Brewster has not given an official
opinion concerning the right of SOL
today that he would hold present stat
utory provisions sufficient.
One of the big reasons for special
legislative session is the question of
extending the right of the ballot to
the soldiers in service over seas.
Many other reasons for a special ses-
sion have been advanced The voting
problem however, was regarded as
the most vital measure which might
be presented before special session,
should Governor Capper decide to call
the law makers to Topeka this winter.
Present Law Sufficient.
Present statutes were today held by
Brewster to be sufficiently broad to
enable the soldiers to vote. Nor, in
the opinion of General Brewster, will
it be necessary to sidestep any of the
existing provisions of the law. Under
the plan as outlined by the attorney
general, the governor may direct a
special messenger to carry a certifica-
ton of the candidates, as we'll as

sheets to officers in command in
France. These must be presented not
less than ten days prior to the election
or primary.
The general statutes provide that
the names of candidates, as well as
copies of poll books and tally sheets
must be certified not less than ten
days prior a general election or pri-
mary. Brewster today held that the
mot less than ten days prior" might
be construed as meaning thirty OF
sixty days prior the election. All that
would be necessary, he indicated
would be the certification of the can
didates and the sending of a special
messenger by the governor.
Allen To Be "Over There"
II want the soldiers to vote" said
Brewster, who is a candidate for the
Republican nomination for governor
"even tho Henry A1len"-also a guber-
material candidate-"may be over
there and have the first chance at the
soldier vote
