YOUR LIBERTY BOND

The United States government bOr-
rOwed money from you TO finance the
war. You hold the governments prom
Use TO pay you back. This promise is
called a Liberty Bond or Victory Note.
On this bond is stated the conditions
under which the government borrowed
the money from you.
For instance If you hold a Bond
Of the Third Liberty Loan, it states
that on April 10Th and October 18th of
each year until maturity, you will re-
ccive interest on the amount you paid
for the bond. Other issues bear other
rates of interest and other maturity
dates, all of which are clearly stated
on the bond.
Now. if you keep your bond until the
date when the government pays you i'll
full for it. you do not need to worry if,
in the meantime, the price is low one
day or high the next. You and Uncle
Sam are living up to your agreement
with each other. and neither will lose
by it.
On the other hand, if you sell your
Liberty Bond now, you will find that
the man you sell it to will not give you
Il dollar for every dollar you paid for
it. The price has been brought down
lecause so many people are offering to
sell their bonds. If the market is
flooded with tomatoes, you can buy
them cheap, but if everyone is clamOr-
ing for tomatoes and there are few to
be had the price goes up. The same is
true of Liberty Bonds. ShOrt-sighted
people are dumping them on the mar
ket. and wise ones are buying them.
The best advice that can be given to
the owner of Liberty Bond is this:
Hold the bonQ YOU bought during the
war; it is as safe and sound as the
United States government itself.
Buy as many more at the present low
rate as you can afford. If you hold
them to maturity. you are bound to
make the difference between what they
sell at now and their face value. You
will also receive good interest on your
investment
Hold an to your Liberty Bonds and
buy more.

JUSTIFIED GRUMBLING

The News-Budget believes that if
thp farmers of Rusk county had their
own way about it the May term OF the
c;rl nit court for this county would be
changed back to February as it was
formerly. And why should not the
farmers have something to say about
il: They are more vitality aftected
than any other portion OF our people,
and because of their numbers they
should be considered first we believe.
Farmers cannot leave their work dur
ING May except at a big sacrifice to
themselves. and more so than ever now
while farm help is Scarcer than at any
time in the history of the county. "A
lot of justified grumbling was heard
among the tillers of the soil who were
called to serve as jurors and witnesses
ot the term of circuit court just closed
in this county. over this matter. Only
the lack of an organized movement on
the part of the farmers to bring the
change about, prevents the alienation
of present onerous conditions, we be-

Starvation and disease have SO ul-

that complete economic. political,
moral and physical collapse is imnn-

directors of the league Of Red Cross

Dawson, who is a member of the }.
p. Morgan firm. made this declaration
IN an address before the general con-
ference of the Methodist Episcopal
church.
He made the following recommends

stricken area: that these supplies be
sold on liberal financial terms; that
Immediately after adoption of the plan
the government should invite other gov

ticipate in the undertaking.
1t would not seem unreasonable to
ask that eX-kaiser Wilhelm and J. 7.
Morgan & Co. be asked to contribute a
large part of the $500,0OO,000.

My first trip with my new car was
taken last week to visit the schools of
Cedar Rapids and South Forks Al
though that is one of the newest parts
of the county, and the landscape is
mostly stumps and timber, and the
homes are still the log cabins. 1t is a
district for the county to be proud OF.
The Maple Crest school, with Miss
Ruth Craney as teacher, was finished
in June and now has eight pupils. The
building is exceptionally well built and
well lighted and the best of inside fur
nishings. The people in the district are
certainly looking into the future and
believe in building q good foundation.
Besides the large SchOOlrOOm, there
are two smaller rooms, one of them al
ready has a fine three-burner oil stove
and an oven and some dishes; and the
other is a StOre-rOOm and contains
soap and towels. They are also going
to install a sink with the drinking fOun-
tain at one end, and the basins i'll it.
They also have First Aid kit. That
means good municipal housekeeping
and hot lunches and community gath
erings: and these mean future success.
The children were all at school and as
many Of the parents as could be.
The other-Cedar Rapids school
| 'Pioneer." is certainly well named.
Mr.. Haugum is teaching there. This
school is also we'll equipped in every
detail and has one of the small rooms
equipped for manual training. and has
some fine pieces in it that the children
had made They also have an Oil stove
for hot lunches and domestic science in
the fall. There are twenty-One chill
dren in the school and they were all
there. also the fathers and mothers
These two school districts are to have
community day this summer and
have all the babies weighed; also raise
| funds for loan closet, with the useful
necessities in case of sickness. Their
community organization is called the
| Booster Club" Both of these schools
have a giant stride for their play
| grounds and intend to add swimming
| this summer.
| The South Forks school has two
rooms and they are a most progressive
| group. and are also 100 per cent in the
! land clearing contest. and have fine
| community club. They will also have
community day this summer and
raise funds for loan closet. Have an
oil stove and cups for hot lunches.
I am urging the children most
strongly to raise some extra vegetables

used for their school lunches next Win

rest means shortage Of food for next
