VICTORY LIBERTY LOAN.
Liberal Terms Offered TO Those Who
Purchase New Bonds.

l
Terms Of payment in the new Vic
tory Liberty Loan recently announced
are the most liberal ever offered by
the government. The deferred pay
ments may be extended over a period
Of six months, from May 10 to No
|vember II.
The installment dates and amounts
as announced by Secretary Glass,
are:
Ten per cent on or before May 10.
Ten per cent July lb.
Twenty per cent August Il.
Twenty per cent September 9.
Twenty per cent October Z.
And the remainder with accrued
Interest on deferred installments
November II.
Fourth loan payments were re-
ouired to be completed in four
months as against six months in the
Victory campaign. Prior to the
fourth loan the treasury required full
payments from the banks on sub
lscriptions. The banks therefore had
to carry all installment payments
which they permitted.
Terms of payment on the fourth
loan were 10 per cent with applica-
tion before ocober ~; 20 per cent
November 21; 20 per cent December
,19. 20 per cent January 16 and 80
per cent on January 80.
This plan while aiding the banks to
some extent was criticized because

It has occurred to me that it
would be profitable for the growers
to have an agent located at this office
constantly. He will be provided with
desk room and an opportunity to in
tervieW all laborers who apply here
for work. It is not likely that all Ia
.borers who apply for work will accept
employment on the plantations.
Many of them are not fitted for this
class of work, but the advantage of
having a man in the employment Of
flee who is. familiar with the require

parent. His experience would enable
him to eliminate applicants who
would not be suitable for the work.

from you as to any method that

more advantageous than is herein
suggested, and we want to assure you
that the United States Employment
Service exists for your interest. AT
the present time not many of the re-
turning soldiers and sailors have in
dicated that they would like work on
farms or plantations, but we would
be glad to have an expression from
each Individual grower as to whether
or not he would like the services Of
enc or more Of these men. Our first
duty at the present time is to pro-.

EMPLOYMENT OF SOLDIERS.
Burau Established in New Orleans
for Benefit Of Planters.

+ Farmers, attention! Soldiers are
being discharged and war workers
headed back home. Thousands left
Louisiana to take up work in the
munitions factories; now they are
coming back.
It is the farmers chance to recruit
labor, and Mr.. Gideon B. Travis, fed
/ era1 director, is putting the United
States Employment Service especial
" at their command.
In letter sent to 1900 rice and
sugar planters, Federal Director
Travis states that many publications.
for farm work are listea in New Or
leans, and asks that planters com
municate their needs to the New Or
leans Office.
Other farmers will be circularized
as fast as their names and addresses
can be secured from the department
Of agriculture. Following is Mr..
Travis offer to farmers:
Il desire to call your attention to
the labor situation in the city of New
Orleans, with view to securing your
active cooperation in utilizing the
surplus labor for the interest of the.
planters and of other agricultural in
terests in the state Of Louisiana.
| AS you are aware, during the
period of the war, all of the southern
Estates were drawn upon largely to
supply labor to help in the prosecu-
Ition of the war. This was done at q
lsacrifice to growers as well as to all
other industries. Now that the war
lis over and rnunition workers and
lsoldiers are being demobilized in
large numbers, these men are con-
]gregating about the city of New Or
leans and it seems opportune to call
your attention to this situation in

room for exhibits in stock. agricul-
CURED. In other words for the in
vestment, which we now have in the
Lake County Fair association, with
possibly an expenditure of $4,000 or
$4,000 more, a pavilion and audito-
rum cal be erected, that will house
all the exhibits we usually have at a
county fair, as well as furnishing a
stock sales pavilion that would un-
doubtedly be used many times a year
and for farmers institute work and
even large gatherings that might be
brought to our city. Such a pavilion
the Athletic park owned by the city,
would in my opinion be a better To-
cation for such a structure, both as a
matter of convenience, but likewise
in a financial way than the present
fair grounds.
Should not the fair association dis
pose of its property and put it into
an undertaking of this kind?
Certainly we need q stock sales pa
vilion and a suitable place for con-
Quoting farmers institute work,
where not only stock can be ave
iently exhibited for demonstrating
purposes, but likewise all kinds of
agricultural products and farm i'm
plements. 1t is q we'll known fact
that winter fairs are now being held
in many of the eastern states, housed
in the manner suggested, that are not
only proving financial successes, but
a greater benefit is derived by those
directly interested. The fact that
stockmen and farmers have time in
the winter to devote to such fairs and
exhibitions insures a far better at
tendance than at the times county
fairs are usually held. The location
of a building or pavilion at the point
proposed would in no wise interfere
with the Athletic park, in my opinion,
but in a measure add to its attractive
ness.
1t is a matter I would like to see
taken up by our Commercial and
Merchants clubs and the city author
tiles as well as the county fair asso-
citation and investigated.

WHAT ABOUT OUR COUNTY FAIR
ASSOCIATION?

To the Editor: The success of a
county fair is always a problematical
question. Weather conditions, crops
and conflicting attractions always
have to be taken into consideration.
1t has always been a matter of
great doubt whether the amount of
benefit derived through a county
fair. taking into consideration the in
vestment required for the mainten-
ance and improvements each year,
saying nothing as to the original cost
is a paying proposition.
The county fair means only an ex-
hibition covering a period of three to
five days In a year, and for the other
$50 days its property stands in idle
ness, subject to a considerable depre-
citation, greater, undoubtedly, than If
in constant use. The three public
sales of full blood stock that have
been held in the past 10 months at
our fair grounds have demonstrated
the needs and requirements of a pa
vilion in which to conduct these sales.
The better the facilities that can be
erected for handling such sales. the
greater will be the inducements for
breeders, not only of u own county
but adjoining counties to furnish the
patronage at such sales.
Now, inasmuch as it has been dis.
covered that the horse race programs
that have been carried out at oul
county fairs, have not proven a sue.

AUSTRIAN MINERS.
GOT GOLD CROSSES
Decorated "for Being a Civil

Not all the medals awarded by the
GermanE and Austrians during the recent
war were conferred for bravery in fac
ing the famous 75s.
One OF the American Relief Admins
tration investigation missions recently
made a tour through the coal mining
towns OF Austria. As the members were
chatting with a miner one afternoon IN
an effort TO ascertain what reserves ~
American food were needed in that mar
ticular region one OF them caught a
glimpse OF two barrels filed with gilt
tering objects standing nearby. He
strolled over and drew out a handful of
gold plated crosses. Each bore the in
scriptlon:
For Being a Civilian in Wartime"
Later the story or these strange orna-
ments was diyulged. When the Aus
trian soldiers began to stream back into

I'VE have stayed at home and served

And SO the tactful Austrian Officials
hit upon the brilliant idea Of casting

DEMOBILLZING NAVY
PROCEEDS RAPIDLY
Strength Will BE Belo,u $780,
600 by July I.

WASHINGTON, May 24.-ways and
means Of getting the Navy and Marine
Corps strength down to a peace time
basis has been the subject Of several con-
ferences between Secretary Daniels and
his bureau chiefs during the last few
days. The problem Is regarded as one
OF the knottiest postwar puzzles now
confronting the Department. and al
though great progress has been made In
demobiliEing the navy proper since the
armistice was signed thousands Of off,
GERS and enlisted men still must be re-
leased before normal strength Is reached
IL Is believed by officers concerned
however, that at the present rate of de-
mobilization the numerical strength OF
tho navy will be we'll below the 25O. 900
mark set by the Secretary at the end of
the fiscal year, July 1. On May l there
were 2S5,o00 officers and enlisted men
In the service. a reduction since Noyenl-
Der II OF 245,Ooo
The figure set for the reduced strength
OF the navy In the Senate naval def
cheney bill OF the last Congress was ESQ.,
600, and in the House bill the number
was placed at $4,000. Based on a total
strength OF 100000 men, naval officials
are confronted with the necessity for re-
ducing the officer personnel from more
than twenty thousand men now on duty
TO less than ten thousand by July l.
The question OF adjusting the rank OF
Officers OF the regular navy on the basis
OF the peace time strength is another
puzzle To meet the rapid increase OF
the naval establishment during the war
practically all the regular officers were
temporarily promoted one or more
grades. Getting the navy back to q
peace time basis means the majority Of
these officers must be returned to their
former rank.
While a majority OF the line officers
are said to favor a permanent peace
strength much in excess OF the author
lied $4,000 men there Is nothing TO
Indicate that Secretary Daniels will ask
Congress to increase this figure, and at a
recent conference with his advisers the
Secretary Is reported to have insisted
that the reduction must be carried out
as planned. His promise to the reserv-
lists after he returned from Europe that
all reserve force members who desire re-
lease will be returned TO civil life by
August is taken to indicate he intends to
abide by his decision.
Major-Gen. George Barnett COM
mandant OF the Marine Corps. said to-
day that the marines will have little
difficulty in reducing to the normal
strength of 26.3o0 officers and men by
July 1.
