EASTER TO BE VICTORY
LOAN DAY IN CHURCHES

Clergymen to the number Of about
10000 and of every creed in exist
ence will forget about denomina-
tional differences on Easter Sunday
morning when all will join hands in
the common cause of endorsing the
victory liberty loan.
Conscious Of the splendid work
they did in past liberty loan cam
paigns, Chairman A. R. Rogers was
extremely anxious to enlist their
support again. With that end in
view, he designated Easter as "vic-
story loan Sunday" and in a letter
sent broadcast to the clergymen of
the district prayed their support.
From the volume Of answers that Mr..
Rogers has received it might be said
that his prayer has been answered.
Nothing could be more appro-
pirate than naming Easter as vic
tory liberty loan Sunday" said. Mr..
Rogers today "Inasmuch as the
loan campaign opens the next morn
ing the clergymen's words should
still be fresh in everyone's ears
when the solicitors come around.
"The noble work the ministers did
in the first four loan campaigns won
the attention of official Washington
and if they are with US again as the
letters indicate, haven't the slight
est worry over the outcome Of the
campaign to put over the loan of
thankfulness."

LIBERAL PLAN FOR
BOND PURCHASERS

The most liberal payment offer
ever made by the United States gov
ernment accompanies the Victory
Liberty loan campaign opening April
2. Under its provision of six pay
ments in seven months, special al
lowances are made for persons who
have not yet completed the purchase
of bonds of the Fourth issue.
After payment Of 10 per cent Of
the face value of the bond by May
10, no other installment is required
until July 10. when another 10 per
cent is due. This allows two months
for the second payment, and gives
Fourth Liberty buyers an opportun-
ity to fulfill their previous contract
be fore feeling the responsibility of
the new one.
After the July installment, 20
per cent payment is due each month
thereafter until the last faction has
been paid on Armistice day, Novem-
ber II.
In the case of a $50 bond the pay
ments will be as follows: BY May
10. IS; by July 1885: by August -,
$40; by epStember 8, $40; by October
7, $40; by November II, $40.

broken heel and two broken ankle
bones when he was run over by the

shown Dr.. Johnson placed the
ankle in a cast and he believes the
boy will entirely recover within two
