Liberty Loan workers at the exhibition
explain that while the F-5-L is smaller

The F-5-L can make from ninety to q
hundred miles an hour. 1t is expected
thc NC-1 will be able to travel at q

that the Smaller plane will stay afioa'

though the dealer may charge as lit

four cents must be charged for the

There has been much confusion IN
regard to the war tax on beverages"
Mr. Carvel said Each sale for 10
cents or less is taxed one cent, and
each sale for over 10 cents is taxed
one cent for each 70 cents or fraction
thereof Of the price Certain drinks
