 the local soldiers who served ovcr seas. Captain Lcckhart went into ac-
 ton in February, 1918 in the Chem in l Dcs- Danes and Toul sectors He Was in tho battle of Seichcprcy and 1 it was in this baltic that he won a =! citation for extreme hcrosm in ac- l ton. After inc battle he was ordered 1 nome 10 scrvc as an instructor. He

 ] HactS Concerning. the Loan. l tue work of preparation is going l slcad''H on. Literature concerning tho last issue was received this morn- 1 ing and is as follows:
 There arc two types of bonds being
 issued one taking four and three- l quarter per cent and the other three ] and threc-qualter per cent interest. 1 The four and three quarters arc l TOT smaller buyers and arc not Sub- 1 Jcct to either state or federal tax for 1 those whose income is less than
 S5,000 wear. They arc subject to l inheritance tax and arc subject to 1 taxation if ones income is over 5000
 a year. under present tax laws. 1 The three and c-quartcrs arc
 for large buyers who are glad to 1 accept the lower rate of interest be- l cause these bonds arc subject to no l taxation of any kind.
 l The two forms of bonds can be ] exchanged for tho others at any time 1 All Victory Bonds arc payable in four years. The government how ever, reserves the right to redeem them in thrcG years if it wishes. The total issue is for S4.5OO,O0O No over subscriptions will be taken. Plainvillcs quota is s121.5OO which is three Quarters of the quota of thc> fourth loan.
 On the fourth loan, with quota of $162,0O0. Plainvillc subscribed s2Ot,00O. On a similar basis Plain vile would subscribe s153, 900 to this Victory Joan.
 Easy payment plans on the usual basis will be offered by. the Plain vile Trust company and at most or all of the factories.
 The bank plan is f per cent down and weekly payments of $l on $50 and $2 on $1O0 bonds and the same basis on larger subscriptions,
 The various factories will make similar plans of their own.
 The loan committee hopes that as many as possible who work out of town can subscribe in this town and SO assist in getting the quota as out of town subscriptions will not be credited to PlainNillc.
 Our government must get this money and asks all who cannot buy outright 10 "bOrroW on their future earnings by taking out all the bonds they can on the easy payment plan. l
 
 United States and the way we sub l scribe to this loan will be an indica- tion as to how we feel about finish ing the job" as far as anyone is con- ccrncd who can possibly invest. The | national committee says:
 ''ThiS is not a loan for National ] banks and Trust companies. They l should be left AS clear as possible in 1 order to be free 10 care for the com l mcrcia! necessities of tho country and | it would be A calamity if they were | forced 10 take an oNcrlar@c amount 1 of bonds 10 put the loan through"
 It is mentioned that after all we ! arc only asked 10 invest our savings | at four and thrcc-uuartcr per cent !; and arc asked tU CCOnOmizC that VIC l may sov-.
