DELAY IN DELIVERY :
OF LIBERTY BONDS TO
:: OWNERS IS ALLEGED
Certain Banks Are Complained
Against for Withholding Paid
1 Up Bonds of Fourth Loan.
- Complaints are being: received at state
Liberty loan headquarters from pur-
chasers of bonds of the fourth loan
that bankers are withholding: bonds
- fully paid, up at the time of the drive.
' According to statements of Liberty loan
officials complainants say that banker's
In several towns have Informed bond
holders that the toSnks have no bonds
on hand and that it will be some time in
February before delivery can be made.
This Is -an injustice to the individual
bond buyers, according: to Robert K.
Smith, state campaign manager. Bond
holders are entitled to prompt delivery
upon full payment, or within approxt-
i mately two weeks from the date of pay-
' ment.
1 . The federal reserve bank, which is the
controlling voice in all such matters in
, the Twelfth federal reserve district, de
clares the practice of banks in deferring
delivery: of ; bonds an unreasonable
length of time .after payment 1 made
involves practical misapplication of
funds. In. other words, a bank that does
this sort of thing Is guilty of Juggling
accounts.
. In neither case is the bondholder los
ing anything, as his bond Is earning in
terest whether it is in his pocket or in
the vault. Handling Liberty bonds for
Uncle Sam is an expenseno profit toH
the banks is involvedJLn the transaction,
fty some small banks that is considered
a burden and neglect of their patrons
has resulted. It is asserted.

4 Household Engineering
Household management Is fast becoming a science. The high cost of
labor and the difficulty of securing competent help in the home has been
the chief factor in-bringing'this about. '
A vast amount of study and experimenting on the part of educational
institutions and manufacturers of . household appliances "lias resulted in
the introduction of many remarkable labor-saving devices and the Im
provement of those long in use.
One of these appliances long past the experimental stage is 'the com
bination range. In this class there is none like a
