Greenwood Boys Are
Rescued From River

Harold Beanland and Bob Smith,
narrowly escaped drowning Monday
night in the Yazoo river, when the
row boat in which they were sitting
was caughtin a swift whirl pool and
carried down stream. Both fell into
the current. The accident occurred
near the bridge which leads into North
Greenwood. The boys were close to
the log when their boat over turned
and they managed to hold onto it un-
til ropes were extended to them from
the bridge. With the exception Of the
disagreeably cold plunge, neither of
them were injured.

VICTORY LOAN
TO BE BROADLY
POPULAR TPLAN
Workers Should Dissipate General
Impression That Banks Will
Garry Burden of the Next
Bond Issue.

Now that Congress has passed the
bill authorizing the flotation of the
Victory Liberty Loan, too much en-
phasis cannot be attached to the
statement recently made by Secretary
of the Treasury Glass, urging that
the forthcoming loan be popular in
the same sense as those that preced-
ed it.
This loan, in order that the great
est good should be accomplished, must
be popular in every sense of the
word. 1t would be unfortunate in
deed if the people were to assume
that the banks are expected to alb
sorb this last offering that marks the
close of the financial burden to be
borne by the American people because
of the world war.
The financial situation, as we'll as
the business situation, is dependent
upon as wide distribution as pos
sible of the government borrowings.
Every man should know that the
principal functions of the banks are
those that they are now performing.
purchasing the short time Treasury
Certificates of Indebtedness issued by
the Government in anticipation of
the Fifth Liberty Loan.
q. The proceeds of the Fifth Liberty
Loan will come from the people and
be available for the payment of these
short time Certificates of Indebted
ness, thus releasing many funds for
the use of industry and agriculture
and, perhaps for later use in assist
ing the Government again in purch-
asing future short time Treasury bills
in case they should be offered.
1t is essential that the Chairman
of the Local war Loan Organizations
throughout the entire Eighth Federal
Reserve District, and other workers
CONNECTED with the Organization, be
familiar with and know the situation
as it exists, and it should serve to re-
mind each Liberty Loan worker that
the general public be as fully inform
ed and be as thoroughly convinced, as
he is.
The greatest misfortune that could
befall this country, next to losing the
war, would be for the Victory Liber-
ty Loan to fail.

houses in Portland, Seattle or Taco
ma. The two-room apartments would
probably rent for $45 and the three

ments consist of living room, kitchen
with Pullman alcove dining room, and

Dimensions of the proposed build
ing are 200 by 60 feet. The large
building can be built at a lower pro-
portionate cost than n small one and
the overhead costs are little greater,
he points out. Mr.. Mandell is con-
fident that an apartment house of
such size could be filled in Pendleton

ture proposed would be modern and
woul have little or no depreciation

forming an incorporation. Mr.. Man

trying to interest local people in TAX
ing $4,000 in stock. The remaining g

fication a letter from the Commercial

forth the reasons why unqualified
