ONLY $4,000 VICTORY LOAN

Less than $4,000 of Victory bonds
have been bought in Henderson coun
ty.
The county's quota is $135, 900.
The campaign ends next Saturday
night
Energetic efforts will be made by
the Victory Loan committee to mn:
Henderson county over the top. but
it is no secret that the members Of
the committee are beginning to have
their doubts.
Hndersonville bankers emphasize
more strongly than ever the gilt-edgeO
character of the investment offered
They say the people of this county
are, asked only to lend their money to
the government The boys who left
their homes for the war were expect
ed to give their lives, if need be. No
one is now asked for such a sacrifice
The people are asked merely to lend
For many of the boys returning from
overseas the war will never be over
The blind and the MANNED will always
be paying. But they are not COM
planning. The people at home are
given six months and the payments
are easy.
Then the job will be finished.
The soldiers stuck to the very end
Tens of thousands of them are Sleep
ing under the little gray crosses in
France. Is their sacrifice worth moth

ty? Is their memory held so lightly
and their splendid heroism so quick
ly forgotten? .-..,..-.~.~
Let US finish the job, the loan COM

NEATLY AND WISELY SAID

Two able, well-known Henderson
Vile business men, good friends and
mutual admirers were discussing the
Victory Liberty Loan.
One was critical of what he called
waste and extravaganza" on the part
of the government in the conduct of
the war. He said:
81 think possibly if the administra-
tion would get a little jar it might
make them exercise more business
sense and higher character in the
appropriation of money in the future. -
To which the other replied:
! Let US assume for the sake of ar
gument that the administration has
been extravagant, wasteful, and has
made thousnds of mistakes. Never
theless the job was a hurry sone and
possibly in no other way could we
have saved hundreds OF thousands of
lives and billions OF money. Our
dnty now is to pay honest debts incur
red by our President and Representa-
itives authorised by us. Let ,us be
honest and pay. our debts and then
start in. to reform our Government.

GOOD INVESTMENT
$1,OOO War Saving Certificates
 Now Obtainable

Conservative investors and people who have come into possession of funds through bequests or the sale of real estate are finding a safe and sound method of reinvestment in the new United States Treasury certif- cates, which are now issued in de- nominations of $100 and $1,0O0, maturity values.
 These certificates are being issued through first and second class post offices and at banks in the case of the $100 certificates, and the 1000 certificates through banks and trust companies. They are obligations of the government and actually yield more than 4 A per cent interest. The fact that they are practically tax free, save for inheritance and excess profit taxes, makes them particular ly desirable as safe and sound in- vestment.
 These securities mature January 1, 1924 but the principal with accrue interest may be had at any time upon the usual ten days notice.

MILE. VERLET
Little Belgian Queen of Song
 Likes America

Mile. Alice Verlet, known in her own beloved country as the Little Belgian Queen of Song", loves Amer ica and its people. But her thoughts will wander back to her other homes. Mile. Verlet was living in her lovely little house near Brussels when the war started. Of course, she was obliged to flee and her home was pretty we'll wrecked by the Germans. Mile. Verlet's piano, her furniture, her records, were all destroyed with that peculiar efficiency the Germans displayed in such cases.
 But the house where she lived with the Grand Opera Company in Paris had very different kind of tenants. After Mile. Verlet came to delight America with her singing, her Paris home was rented to some American officers who, she knows, will treat her cherished possessions with a far different spirit.
 Mile. Verlet's concert in Canaan on Wednesday, Nov. 12 is something to look forward to, both for Canaan and for the singer herself. For Mile. Verelet loves the Americans, and en- joys singing for them.

ANNUAL MEETING OF
 . COUNTY FARM BUREAU
Will Be Held at Litchfield on Saturday, Nov
 ember 18th

l The Annual Meeting of the Litch-
 field County Farm Bureau will be held on Saturday, Nov. 18th in the Court House at Litchfield, and will be called to order promptly at II a. m.
 This probably will be the most i'm portant Annual Meeting that the Blu reau has ever held for there is much business to be transacted which is of the utmost importance to every com munity and to every farm family which believes in the work the Blu reau has done in the past, which has received direct or indirect personal benefit from it or which wishes to be reached by Farm Bureau work in the future. Plans will be discussed at the meeting which will call for a thorough reorganization of the whole Farm Bureau system as it has been managed in the past, not because of the inefficiency of the old method because it had it's place, served it's purpose, and established the work among the progressive and practical Ifarmers-but because the Bureau has outgrown the old method and it will no longer give satisfactory results when hundreds rather than scores ex- pect personal assistance. In other words, we must help individuals through community benefits rather than Communities through benefits given to individuals, and the assist ance of every friend of the Bureau is needed in deciding upon the meth ods which will give the most satisfac- tory service to all and make the work more nearly self-supporting. The latter feature (self-support) is one that has been badly neglected and we hope to work out a system that will result in more general support by all farmers and do away with the necessity of asking support from summer residents, village people, etc. If supported by farmers and directed by farmers, it can be made of more direct assistance to farmers and in solving rural problems.
 Make Saturday, November 18th Farm Bureau Day and give your time and your assistance in develop ingl d Farm Bureau which can eff cientfy reach every community and every farm family in Litchfield County and give direct assistance to each family through the solving of community problems which touch every family.
 You are not going to be asked to listen to long addresses. This is business meeting, to be conducted in a businesslike way and we want you to be with us if you are interested in the life of your community. This work cannot be left to others; it is your duty and mine to see that our communities do not die on our hands, because conditions are allowed to be- come such that farmers and their families prefer the city to the coun- try. Remember that the Bureau has Agents to assist in all problems which touch the farmer and his family and be sure that both the farmer and his wife attend the meet ing and bring their lunch basket.

WAVE OF AUTO MISHAPS
Due to Increase in Number of Cars,
 Says Stoeckel

Motor vehicle Commissioner Stoeckel said that for the past two weeks there had been a wave of automobile accidents throughout the state He attributed it to the in- crease in the number of cars. At this time last year there were 90 thousand automobiles registered in Connecticut while today the number is 104,00. He believes that before the end of the year the number will be 10000 Automobile traffic on the highways has been greatly increased locally and by the autos from other states.
 MT. ,Stoeckel says the state needs more highway mileage to accomodate the travel. Notices were sent out today to owners of jitneys calling attention to the fact that under the law of 1919 each jitney must be bonded for $5,000 on January 1. It will cost about $25 to secure a jit- ney license etc. after that date.

REINDEER MEAT
May Reduce Living Cost Says EaesyX Mir. Stefansson

The region known as the Frozen North" will prove to be the great source of America's meat supply, ac- Icording to statements made by Vihal- jmar Stefansson, who left New York yesterday on trip to the western section of the Dominion of Canada. In support of this claim MT. Stefan sson said:
 Contrary to popular belief, the northern regions of Canada are not all ice and snow. I have often seen the temperature in Puly up to 95 in the shade. Meat is growing more and more expensive. Reindeer meat is the solution for this continent. "In Alaska ten years ago there were about 2,500 reindeer privately owned. At present there are about 50O,000. Ten years ago they shipped $3,000 worth of meat into the States. Today they are shipping almost $1,OO0,O00 worth through the port of Seattle alone. In ten years I ex- pect the trade from Alaska to be $20,000,000."

RED CROSS ROLL
 CALL NEXT WEEK Miss Catherine Fl. Roraback Appointed Local
 Chairman

The third Red Cross roll can vTn take place throughout the nation from Sunday, November 2d to SaA- urday, November 9th. This town will have its part to do like all others and every effort will be made to en- list greater number than ever bev fore in the greatest organization sk it's kind the world has ever known.
 Miss Catherine Roraback receiveM word early this week from Winstea chapter that she had been appointed chairman of the local drive. WhiA she has been unable in so short n time to complete plans for the caHs- paign, it is understood that a house. to-house canvas will be made un Saturday, November 9th. Bootfn will also be placed in the post ofses with some in charge throughout tfss day.
 The war is over, but the work aR the American Red Cross is far from ended. Its gigantic organization fuw relief and human betterment today faces tasks even more momentous than those it faced and solved during the days of the war. Tn the diseE- |ganized and plague stricken coun- tries of Eastern Europe,-in Poland. Siberia, and the Near Eastr-it h combating fearful epidemics Gx typhoid and cholera which, un- checked, would sweep over Western Europe and eventually to Americs with more disastrous results thaM those of the Influenza Epidemic ax 1918. Its program of relief cannot be abandoned in those countries wsah-- out removing the one bulwark agaAnsx disease and disorder which protees~s the rest of the civilized world.
 The Red Cross has other obliga-- tions in Europe which make it noe only humane but economically impes- ative, that its program be carried through to successful completion.
 Supplies of the American Army abroad have been turned over to tfio Red Cross for administration and dss- posal.
 The proper utilization of these supplies for humanitarian purposes makes it necessary that the Req Cross keep some of it's forces in Eu- rope for long time to come. AA- other duty to be performed is the es- tablishment of schools to train natfv@ workers, in the war-stricken coyin- tries in American standards of sarti- tation and social work. Unless ths vital measure is accomplished ths value of much that has been done fox the relief of Europe will be lost.
 In addition to these European ob3 legations, the Red Cross is laying ths foundation for a great Peace Pro-s gram at home. It is applying the les- sons learned in war to the problems of peace, and will be the great tes- cher of public health, sanitation, cars of the child, first aid and home hy- giene in all the communities of tho United Sttaes where well-organized social agencies do not exist.
