VICTORY LOAN IS
 TO OPEN APRIL q
SHORT TERM NOTE INSTEAD OF LONG TERM BONDS DECIDED
 UPON BY SECRETARY GLASS.

Washington. The Victory Loan campaign will open Monday, April Z1, and close three weeks later-Sat. urday, May 10.
 Secretary Glass announced the dates, together with the fact tnat short time notes maturing in not more than five years will be issued instead of longer term bonds. The amount of notes to be offered was not disclosed, but it is said that the loan Will be for minimum of S5.- 000000,G0O, with the treasury reseIv- Ing the right to accept all oversub- scriptions
 MT. Glass said the interest rate on the notes and the amounts to be ex- empted from taxation would not be determined until week or two be- lore the campaign, as they would be based upon financial conditions at that t1me It is said the notes migh5 bear interest in excess of 4 l-4 Der cent, the interest rate on the third and fourth loans.
 After studying financial condi
 
 tions in all parts of the country" said MT. Glass, q have determined that the interests of the United States will best be served a+ this time by the issuance of short term nores rather than of longer term ponds, which would have to bear the limited rate of interest of 4 IA per cent.
 "1he Victory Liberty Loan will therefore, take the form of notes of the United States maturing in not over five years from the date Of is sue. These notes will be, as were. the Liberty Loan bonds, the direct promise to pay of the United States. will be issued both in registered and coupon form, and the coupon cover ing the entire life of the notes I am hopeful that the notes in final engrav- ed form will be ready for delivery by the opening of the campaign on April 21.

STILL PLANNING
 ID AID SOLDIERS
SECRETARY OF INTERIOR LANE CONTINUES WORKING TO GIVE
 SOLDIERS WORK AND LAND.
HAS THE NATIONS SUPPORT
Although Congress Adjuorned With out Action the Measure Was Favor ed in Both Houses-WilI Be
 Brought Up Again.

Washington. Although Congress adjourned without bringing to vote the proposed legislation which, if en- acted into law, would have made It possible for the Department of the Interior to begin work immediately on the construction of soldier-settre- ments and provide work and homes for thousands of returned soldiers, sailors and marines on reclaimed land, the fact that the bill was favor ably reported in both the House and Senate, and the nationwide approval of the plan as evidenced by the hun dreds of letters received daily at the department, have led Secretary Lane to take the stand that there is every reason to believe that a similar bill will be favorably considered at the coming special session of Congress. He is continuing the preliminary work of investigation as far as the limited funds at his disposal will per init, and is also endeavoring to ascer tain for the information of Congress the attitude toward the plan of as many men in the service as he is able to reach through tile distribution of questionnaires at the various camps and naval stations throughout the country.
 Many legislatures have not met re- gently, but large number of the states already have taken action by appropriate legislation or by the ap- pointment of committees to cooper ate with the federal government In connection with the soldier-settle- ment plan of the department.

PRES. WILSON IS
 AGAIN IN PARIS
WELCOMED AT STATION BY oe FlCiAlS AND LARGE ENTHU-
 SlASTiC CROWD.

Paris.-The demonstration attend Ing the presidents arrival in Paris Tor his second visit lacked the mag nltude of that upon the occasion of his initial appearance last December. Nevertheless it was spontaneous and cordial.
 The people had been purposely kept in ignorance as to which rail road station his train would enter. The president had requested this. as he desired to come as a private citl- zen, Nevertheless the population heard early in the day that the sta ton selected was the Invalides and they assembled there in great num- bers by the time his train was due.
 President Wilson got to work inn mediately after his arrival at his new residence in the Place des Etate Unis Premier Lloyd George was waiting there for the president and the two had a long conference The president then arranged for a con ference at the Hotel de Crillon with Premier Clemenceau, Premier Lloyd George and Colonel House.
 The presidential party was met at the station by President Poincare and Madame Poincare, Premier Clemen- ceau, Foreign Minister Pichon and Andre Tardieu, General Berdoula., the military governor of Paris. Ma jor General Mord, head of the mili- tary cabinet of the ministry of war, Secretary of State Lansing, General Tasker' H. Bliss, Henry White of the peace mission, Ambassador Sharp and Admiral Benson.
 President Poincare gave President Wilson cordial greeting during a brief conversation. With Premier Clemenceau, the American executive spoke some time, congratulating the French statesman on his escape from death.
 The president is fully conversant with the work accomplished by the peace delegates. During his voyage from the United States he was con- stantly in communication with Paris by wireless. Colonel House took to Brest large number of papers bear ing on the work of the conference during the presidents absence.

DON'T 0VERDO
 OR OvER-EAT
But If You Do a Few Doses of Black -Draught May Prevent
 Serious Trouble.

Nowata, Okla.-Mr. W. B. Dawson, of this place, says: q have known of Black-Draught ever since I can re- member, and of all the liver medicines I ever used, Black-Draught is without doubt the best. We would not be with out 1t in the house.
 I used to take pills and different things, but after taking a course of strong medicine I would be left in constipated condition, and would need then to use a laxative. But after l began to take Black-Draught did not have any trouble of this kind.
 I take a big dose at night and fol- low few nights with lighter doses, and am like new man until I overdo or overeat, and neglect to take care of myself until the liver gets out of fix, when I have to go to Black-Draught again.
 Black Draught I have found is all that is necessary for the bloated feel ing in the stomach, sour stomach or bad taste in the mouth so common in spring in the swampy country. be- lieve if more people took it, there wouldn't be so many having chills as do."

Cleveland County herald., 1919-03-20

To be possessed of head of heavy beautiful hair; soft, lustrous, funyp wavy and free from dandruff is merely matter of using a little Danderine.
 It is easy and inexpensive to have nice, soft hair and lots of it. Just get small bottle of Knowlton's Danderins now-it costs but few cents-all drug stores recommend it-apply little as directed and within ten minutes there will be an appearance of abundance. freshness, fuffiness and an ineempara. ble gloss and lustre, and try as you will you cannot find trace of dandrufe or falling hair; but your real surprise will be after about two weeks use, when you will see new hair-ine and downy at first-yes-but really new hair-sprouting out all over your scalp -Danderine is, we believe, the only sure hair grower, destroyer of dan- druff and cure for itchy scalp, and it never fails to stop falling hair at once.
 If you want to prove how pretty and soft your hair really Is, moisten cloth with little Danderine and carefully draw It through your hair-taking one small strand at a time Your hair will be soft glossy and beautiful in just a few moments-a delightful surprise swaits everyone who tries this. Adv.
