VICTORY NOTES DUE DEC. is.

Particular attention is called to the
announcement of the U. S. Treasury De-
partment that Victory notes bearing the
serial letters A, B, G, d, E and F are
called for payment on December 18th
and that no interest on these notes will be
paid by the government after that date.
In commenting on this subject, Cover
nor Charles A. Morse of the Federal
Reserve Bank of Boston says; "When the
Victory notes were issued, they were made
payable on May 20, 1923, but the govern
ment reserved the right to pay any par
of them on June Is or December Is, 1922
by giving four months notice. The
government has exercised it's privilege
and has called for payment on December
Is, 1922, Victory notes bearing serial
letters A, B, G, d, E and F. These notes
will be paid, principal and interest, by the
Treasury Department on December Is
and no interest will be allowed on them
after that date.
"The Victory loan came about four
months after the Armistice was signed and
was made necessary by the expenses
which the government had incurred IN
carrying on the war. 1t was put out at
higher rate of interest than the Liberty
bonds and for that reason and because of
the relief to the public caused by the end
ing of the war, it was the most popular
loan of all the Liberty loans. 1t was dis
tributed among many thousands of sub
scribers in small amounts
II urge every noteholder to look at his
notes and if they bear any serial letter
from A to F inclusive, the holder should
arrange to have them presented to the
Federal Reserve Bank for payment on
December Is, either direct or through his
own bank Holders of registered notes
bearing these letters should send them in
Immediately to the Federal Reserve Bank
so that there may be time to have the
signatures verified before the date of

GRACE CHURCH

In spite of stormy day the Ladies' Aid
annual sale and supper last Friday even
ing, was a decided success. The patron
age of the public was good for which we all
are grateful Thank you'll The cheerful
willingness Of the workers, and the gener-
GUS giving of the people who supply the
stuff, is q sign of genuine interest in the
church, and the welfare Of our community.
The Pitt Parker lecture Saturday ever
ing was well attended. Mr. Parker is q
cartoonist and lecturer Of real artistic
merits 1t is hardly possible to imagine
any one person, or any group OF persons,
on public lyceum platform to give any
more, or as much of value for an audience
to carry away with them, and at the same
time entertain and convulse with laughter,
as Mr.. Parker. At the close the audiences
thronged to the platform and begged for
chance to buy the pictures. As high as
three dollars were paid for a picture made
in ten minutes, and the purchasers we're
glad to get them at that price. We trust
that another winter we will have a Ly-
ceum Course in Bradford, and that our
"Friend Pitt" will be one of the numbers.

Easier Road for Bonus.

Washington, June 2.-Prospects
for early action on the soldier bonus
bill improved materially today when
t,le senate, without protesting voice
s,detracked the tariff and gave the
riEht-ot-way TO the army appropria-
bon bill.
The. same action will be taken con-
ee-eiug the naval appropriation bill
and ether measures. Pro-bonus sem
atcrs declared that, If the tariff could
be- laid aside for the army and navy
bills, it could be laid aside for the
sc ,d;er bonus. Today's action will be
regarded as a precedent and will be
used as lever to force consideration
of the bonus.
