PAYS INSTEAD OP TALKS. Ashland does not often make as much fuss as others about her dona tions. When called on for contribu tions to a worthy cause she manages to come through with at least her minimum and almost always moro than her apportionment. - She just does It and doesn't talk much about it. She oversubscribed her appor tionment of Liberty bonds, both the first and lost lBsues. She oversub scribed hcr apportionment for the Red Cross. Not only did she sign the subscriptions, but she pays them with little fuss or foible. Ashland, Talent and Phoenix contributed to the Red Cross fund $10,928.91. and up to Monday evening there had been paid $10,272.41, leaving only $356.50 still to bo paid. CONVERSION OP LIBERTY BONDS. Secretary of the Treasury McA'doo has announced that there will be is sued by tho Treasury Department In the near future a circular setting . i. . ... .. : forth the manner in which Liberty loan bonds of the first issue may be converted into Liberty loan bonds of the second issue. The conversion will require the ad justment of Interest and the Treasury Department has devised a method whereby this, in a large measure, may be made without the actual payment of any cash by the holder of the bond to the government or vice versa. It is well to remember that the date of the second issue of Liberty loan bonds is November 16 and that no conversions can be accomplished prior to that date. Opportunity, how ever, will be given to holders of the first Liberty loan bonds to deposit their bonds for conversion in advance of the actual date of Issue of the sec ond Issue. Waterproofing the Top. Double-boiled linseed oil may be used to waterproof the top. The oil should be spread evenly over the fabric with a fine brush.

A slight leak in a valve will cause as much delay as'a blow out. A good valve Is often hard to obtain when on the road and consid erable annoyance can be avoided by carrying these accessories. A valve tap and die should also be added.
