 Sort of "Baby Bond"
 The new Defense Savings Bond is similar to the familiar Baby Bond,' of which more than five billion dollars worth have been bought by more than two and a half million Americans since 1885. A Defense Bond may be pur- chased May 1, or thereafter, for $1875. In ten years, this bond will be worth $25. This IS an increase of 33 1/3 percent, equal to an annual interest return of 2.9 per- cent, compounded semi-annually. Any time after 60 days from the date of purchase, the bond may EC IcQcclilcQ lOI Cdoli, III dCCOlQ- ance with a table of redemption values printed on the face of the bond.
 To spread investments widely among all the people in America, a limit of $5,OO0 has been set on the amount of these bonds to be bought by any one person in one year. The bonds are in denomina- tions of $25, $50, $100. $500 and s1 GOO. all of which are sold for 75 percent of their maturity value and all of which mature in ten years. A

The families Of settlers in the
Puyallup valley were rich IN

would be hard to equal in any new
settlement.
The cottonwood timber was a

I had struck a bonanza. The cost
of clearing an acre to the settler
was at least si0i. and consequent
ly most of them had but small

fed that the Northern Pacific line
up the valley would be built by
the time he would have TO begin

suggested, Fsrquhsrson chose "Old

Gen. sprague agreed but when he
sent the proposition back to the
railroad headquarters in the east
1t was turned down. Several
other sites were offered but they
were unsatisfactory.
In the meantime Farquharson
learned that the San Francisco firm
had financed a barrel stave plant
in Oregon and were negotiating
for timber TO last them a number
OF years. He hurried to San Fran

to double cross him. The reply
was. What are you going to do

Farquhsrson. pulling from his
pocket the contracts for a ten
year supply of timber, said:
This is what I am going to

That was a horse Of a different

ment in his pocket and was ne

Nelson Is Expected
To Hold Chief Power
In New Defense Setup
Wallace, Co-Members
To Pass on Acts of
Boord Secretary
BY the Associated Press.

by the hSSoclateo fresx.
Well-informed ngressi ION
sources disclosed today that Donald
NJ. Nelson, former Chicago mer-
chandise executive, would WELD the
chief power in the revised defense
organization established last week
by President Roosevelt.
Although Vice President Wallace
was designated as chairman OF the
new Supply Prlorities and ALLEGATION
Board, these sources said even Mr..
Wallace conceded that Mr.. Nelson
was the man who would do the
work.
Public confirmation of this was
expected later today when Mr.. Wal
lace and Mr.. Nelson, who is the
new boards executive secretary, hold
their first press conference as off,
cials of the new agency.
Mr.. Nelson, a tall, heavy-set busi-
nessman of So, has been directing
purchases for the Office of Produc-
ton Management. He was borrowed
for the multi-million dollar defense
program because of his experience
as one of the worlds largest mer-
chandise buyers while serving as
vice president of Sears. Roebuck &
Co.
Friends of Vice President Wallace
said his position in the new defense
setup would be similar to that of
chairman of the board of a large
corporation. Mr.. Nelson will op-
crate the program, and the Vice
President and other members of the
seven-man group will pass on Mr..
Nelson's actions.
The entire board membership
planned a conference today in ad-
vance of the first public announce
ments from the agency. In addi-
ton to Mr.. Wallace and Mr.. Nelson,
the board includes William S.
Knudsen and Sidney Hillman of
o. P. M, Harry Hopkins, special
presidential aide on the lend
program: Leon Henderson. defense
price administrator, and Secretary
Of War Stimson and Secretary OF
the Navy Knox.
