' odicals, and the Liberty Loan committees and other organ izations and individuals who were so patriotically active and efficient -in promoting the sale of the first issue of the Liberty Loan Bonds are getting prepared and holding themselves in readiness' to make the second issue as great a success as the first. ;"'.""'""

''' In view of the fact that the second issue of Liberty Loan Bonds or differs in, some respects, from the bonds of the f'lT'Wr: "IHSillf in llQ thnv KAan m liirrliATC infn s-P and are subject to the super-income tax, the question of con- ..niifiv.

Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo has suggested that holders nf intAiHrri ntwttfinai-na nrVi lacirvt 4-n nn-ntm-M- Vi-i ' V v v i V..I.UH.O . C IU bUCU purchase into bonds of the second issue hold their certifi cates and turn them in in exchange for bonds of tbje second issue rather than secure their bonds of the first issue and turn them in in exchange - No charge will be' made for such exchange. . -i ' A question has arisen,as to within what time the holders of Liberty Loan Bonds of the first issue can exercise the right of conversion into a bond of the second issue. Until the pending bill has become a law and the details of the second issue of Liberty Loan Bonds are definitely-settled the question may be considered as largely academic. Sec retary McAdoo will issue in due time a statement covering the matter. Some financial writers say thati wonder was expressed that $2,000,000,000 worth of Liberty Bonds affected the money market of the country so little, but that the wonder has ceased, and it is believed that the awakened credit of thcUnitcd States can absorb many billion dollars more without making a ripple in the money market. THE WORK OFTHE Y. M. C. A. The Observer is very glad .to donate space today to de scribing the work of the Y. M. C. A. The article shows the manifold activities of the association, its readiness to co-operate in all public enterprises, to assist every worthv cause. The Observer has no hesitation in saying .that the Y. M. C. A. is a "live wire" institution and one that does a great deal of good for La Grande in many ways. Read the article and see.

I'm tired of 'hearing dealers say, " "The goods you're asking for have gone up. half a plunk to day, due solely to the war." I go to buy a pair of pance, whereat the clothier cries, "The war has kill ed the sheep in France, which makes the prices rise." I go to have my whiskers stain- ed a rich lustrous blue; the barber says, "I'm really pained to lift the price on you," but all the barks and buds and herbs of whiclMny dyes were made, were harvested by Huns and Serbs, and war has spoiled the trade." I do not care about the 'price of anything I buy; I'll cough up for a chunk of ice, a bulTdog or a pie j the, men who balk at paying kale are peo ple I abhor; but this old formula is, stale; "Price, ujp because of war."
