Considering the average certifi-
cate worth $1,000, the borrowing
value half of that amount and
no loan having before been made,
at maturity the policy would be
worth $207 80 If a loan of $500
were made in 1882 or before.
In other words about 1892
would be charged against the ma
turity value of the certificate for
interest in the remaining 13
years they have to run.
Under-Secretary of the Treas
ury Ogden L. Mills, said that a
bond issue of $1,000 ,O0O,0 900 would
be floated March IS to meet the
maturing issue Of $1,100. .00O, 900
in 312 per cent notes with ad-
ditional 100000 for the bonus
loans.
Interest to Be Lower
It was thought probable these
bonds could be floated for less
than per cent, probably a full
/ per cent less than the interest
rate to be paid by the veterans.
To provide for funding service
certificates at maturity, Congress
has provided an annual appro-
priation of $4,000. coo. January
/ of each year, the Treasury, with
this sum available, issues a like
amount of per cent registered
adjusted service notes for the ad-
justed service fund, and uses the
appropriation for ordinary gov
ernmental purposes, thus reduc-
ing the necessity of. borrowing.
Interest in the adjusted service
notes, compounded annually, with
the exception of that needed to
meet death claims, is reinvested
in notes.

SEWARD STORES ARE PREPARED FOR TIE
 CHRISTMAS TRADE

The task of making Christmas truly merry is all the more import ant since Seward has so much faith in the new year; so many fine civic things to look forward to.
 Local stores are now replete in practical gifts for young, the not so old and the aged.
 AS Christmas nears Yuletide lights will spread more cheer in emulation of that Star whose ra- diance has grown the brighter with the passing of centuries.
 From now on read the advertising columns of The Gateway for gift suggestions; patronize the adver- tisers in The Gateway who make a daily paper in Seward possible.
 Seward stores have stocks worthy of cities with populations of 50,000 and the prices are moderate.

Washington, April 3.-H)-Addi-
tional objections to q tax increase

Democrat on the senate appropriate
tons committee, likewise joined OPP
ponents OF proposed further demands
on taxpayers. He said he believed his
party would cooperate to hold down
appropriations at the next session.
After q conference with the presi-
dent, Tilson, agreed with others that
no more money would be needed for
operations of the farm board, which
he said has failed" to stabilize prices.
The treasury expects to Issue its
new securities by April Is 60 the
money will be available at the end OF
the fiscal year on June 80. Just what
form the securities would take was
not known. Besides meeting the
deficit, the treasury has been asked
to supply 500, 000, 900 more for veter-
nj loans by April II.
