Wants to Give u. S.
Profits OF Garden

Washington, March 29.-E. e.
Dixon, of Cochranville, Pa, is a real
patriot and has won letter of ap-
probation from the Secretary of the
Treasury. Mr. Dixon planted n war
graden last year and made profit of
$12 on the venture. He pondered
most of the winter as to what he
should do with the money, and
hnally sent it to the Treasury De-
partment as contributions toward
winning the war" Secretary Nc
Adoo directed that the money be in
vested in thrift stamps, which he has
sent to Mr.. Dixon with this letter:
My Dear Mr.. DiXon-I have your
letter of the 21st of March, enclosing
your check for $12, representing
your profit on your war garden,
which you desire to donate to the
government for the purposes of the
war. | was deeply impressed by this
double evidence of your patriotism
and congratulate you on your loyal
spirit.
Since the government, outside of
taxation measures, is only asking the
people to loan their money TO il. l
am directing that the Treasurer of
the United States send you $12 worth
OF thrift stamps, which you may
convert into war savings stamps and
thus have an excellent investment, at
the same time helping your govern
ment.
II hope your example will be fol-
lowed by others"

German War Veteran
Joins u. S. Cavalry

Tamaqua, Pa.-Gottlieb Stoya,
aged rs years, proprietor of a big
farm at Reynolds, south of here,
walked into the local recruiting Of
flee to-day and enlisted in the United
States cavalry. He looks twenty
years younger and his physical con-
dition is so good that he was ordered
to report at Harrisburg for eXami-
nation.
Stoya is native of Germany. He
fought with Hanover against Prus-
sia, was in the Franco-Prussian
War and afterward served in the
French cavalry. He has lived here
twenty-five years and has been nat
uralized fifteen years.
He is an expert horseman, as ac-
tive as a boy and anxious to go to
France to get 'whack" at the
Kaiser.
Even though he should be turned
down at Harrisburg, owing to his
advanced age, Stoya has the honor
of having signed up and is under
Army discipline. The claim is
made that he is the oldest soldier in
the United States Army.

bonds to meet it's cost. 1t is the
peoples war. They have spoken in
the legal way. They should assume
completely the obligations of their
own act The people are the Gov
ernment. The people ought to sup
port their own act and put in the
essary funds to win the war. l SIN
cerely hope our people will under
stand that it is their duty to tender
to Secretary McAdoo this loan in
full. We ought not to permit him
to ask us for it. We have no JUS
tification if we must be importuned
by the federal authorities to give
the funds which are essential to
their doing the duty we have laid
upon them. If We lag and wasS and
delay and in any way fail to take the
initiative in this we set a sorry eN-
ample to the world of efficient de-
mocracy.
II am, therefore, constrained to
ask the Committee of Public Safety
to take this service in hand and ten
der to our federal officials gladly
our full quota of the loan and not
have the federal officials lead in the
campaign for this money. 1t is our
duty. When we give our money at
n fair interest we are not giving
much. l think of the boys that are
giving their all, of the fathers that
are sending splendid sU1s, of the
blessed mothers that are giving
their hearts blood and love, of the
wives that are surrendering their
support and the provider of their

Big Hazleton School

Hazleton, Pa, March 29.-Ray-
mond Hoebner and Peter Kordalski,
each fourteeen years old, confessed
to Chief of Police Brownson yester-
day. according to that official, that
they accidentally started the fire
which destroyed the twenty-four
roomed school building in Church
street Saturday night, causing loss
of about $15O,O0O. According to Chief
Brownson, they had broken into the
school bent on theft and were taking
a saw from the janitor's cupboard in
the basement when n taper carried
by Kordalski dropped into some oil
waste, setting it ablaZe.
Chief Brownson said the boys
confessed that they vainly tried to
check the flames by throwing water
on the oil and then fled in alarm to
a theater. They remained there but
short time and returned to the scene
after a general alarm had been
sounded.

GOVERNOR URGES
LIBERTY LOAN
Says State and Not Federal
Officials Should Push 1t
Along This Spring

The Pennsylvania Committee of
Public Safety has been urged by
Governor Brumbaugh in a letter
sent to George Wharton Pepper,
the chairman, to take the lead in
the work for the third Liberty Loan
in PENNSYLVANIA and not to let the
federal officials do it instead of the
officials of Pennsylvania.
The Governors letter is as fol-
lows:
Dear Mr.. Pepper:
II note that Secretary McAdoo
has called for the third Liberty Loan
and that the plans are now forming
to make it a pronounced success. 1t
occurs to me that it is a curious
comment upon our loyalty and our
understanding of democracy If we
need at any point the urging of Mr..
McAdoo in securing the funds for
this war. Our accredited repre-
sentatives in Washington decreed
this war and ordered the selling of

PLAN TO DEFER TAX
PAYMENTS DROPPED

WASHINGTON, April 2i-Because OF
the financial condition OF tho United
states Treasury II is inadvisable and
impossible at this time to defer pay
ment OF the heavy tax assessments dus
and payable on June IS. These taxes
must be paid not later than the due
date.
An ollcisl announcement 10 this ef-
feet was made by the Treasury Depart
nent in response 20 opportunities from
large financial centres, particularly New
York, for some new arrangement where.
by income and excess profits would not
have TO be paid at the same time.
The New York Federal Reserve Dis
trict is hardest hit. This district must
turn over to the government al least
s2,000,00O,0OO and probably more. It
will probably turn over s3,O00,0 100000 In
the loan and taxes.
Despite this the only hope the Treas
ury holds ont TO large business con-
Germs and wealthy individuals Is for the
buying Of bonds on tho lnstallment
plan. This plan, however, would throw
a heavy burden on the banks, il the
large subscriptions were on the install

their engines on fun force to escape
some unknown monster. Finally some
venturesome one went near enough to
nnd the creature was a whale.
Since then the whole bay and river
side have been in a ferment. Boats are
swsrmlng everywhere. while men are
even walking the banks to get shot
at the whale. Several have fred with
