XI GOVERNMENT WANTS LOAN FROM ALL ITS PEOPLE The federal government is calling subscriptions to the “Liberty Loan of 1917,” comprising a $5,000,000,000 bond issue. A Liberty Loan bond is a promise to pay by the United States and, together with interest, is a mort- gage on all the resources of the United States. There are two kinds of these bonds. Bearer bonds are to be issued in denominations of $50, $100, 1500 and $1000 and are made payable to bearer The holder will collect interest at any bank. Registered bonds are registered as to both principal and in'erest and will be in denominations of $100, 8500, *1000, 85000, *10,000, $50,000 and $100,- 000. Cbeoka for ínteres will be mailed semi-annually to holders The first issue of $2,000,000,000 will bear date of June 15, 1917, to run 30 years, except that option of redemption at 15 years is made. The bonds bear interest at 34 per cent, payable semi- annually. The bonds are non taxable for any purpose whatever, except that they are subject to inheritance tax. All other bonds are taxable. Blank forms for purchase of bonds may be obtained from the treasury department, any federal reserve bank, any national, state, or private bank, any express office and any postoffice in the United States. The government is asking subscrip- lions to this loan, not because it needs to, but to permit the people at large to participate and make it a popular loan. Banks, trust companies, and financiers would lake the entire issue. The “Liberty Loan” is so named be cause it is to be a loan from a free people to be used in freeing the world. It is a loan of a liberty loving people to be devoted to the establishment of liberty In Europe and on the high seas. It is a loan of the great democracy of the new world to redress the wrongs and support the cause of democracy in the old world. perfectly in these makeshift contain ers. Jellies, jams and preserves can be kept even in ordinary drinking glasses by the use of a paper and paraffin. Fruit juices should be pack ed lu ordinary small necked bottles. Vegetables, soups and meats, on the other band, to keep must be sealed by the usual fruit jar or tin can packing methods. Reserve regular containers for foods that cannot be packed in bottles. The specialists are also urging all members of canning clubs and others not only to can products, but to dry and evaporate all such products as apples, pumpkins and squash. They advise strongly that if containers are scarce locally, those in stock should be used to preserve perishable products which have tbe highest nutritive value. Nothing should be packed in jars or cane which can be conserved effectively in other ways. Candy containers or other glass jars with screw tops or gla s stoppers, and in fact any receptacle of glass, crock ery or porcelain, can be sealed with cork or paper and paraffin. Large tin canisters or tin cans with removable covers, provided tbe body of tbe container is air and water tight, will be found useful in canning cer tain fruit products. Such containers can be sterilized and their covers hermetically sealed in place with solder or wax.

PRESERVE JAMS IN Do your part in both and help the nation SOME SOUPS THAT ARE NOURISHING The official proclamation of Presi dent Wilson, calling for the registra tion of all male persons between the ages of 21 and 30, was this week posted in Hermiston. Tuesday, June 5, be tween 7 a. m. and 9 p. m. is designated an tbe time. In the precincts of Her miston Thos. Campbell is the register ing officer for the East side and S. R. Oldaker for tbe West side. T. H. Hoddox has accepted for Columbia precinct. Every male person of the required age must register regardless of whether a citizen of the United States or not. Only those already actively connected with some branch of mili tary service are exempted. In case of sickness provision is made for register ing by sending the required informa tion by an agent. Persons who expect to be absent on that day may register bv mail, but their cards must reach the registration officer on tbe day designated. Persons subject to registration are all who have reached their 21st birth day on or before June 5 and who shall not have attained their 31st birthday. Physical unfitness for service is not a exemption. Any person who in any manner shall fall or neglect to fill tbe requirements of tbe act in any par ticular shall, if not subject to military law, be guilty of a misdemeanor and on conviction be imprisoned not more than one year. If subject to military law, shall be tried by court martial and suffer such punishment as a court martial may direct. While many land transactions have been made the past few months, in volving for the most part holdings of from 40 to 60 acres, a deal has just been closed whereby J. T. Hinkle has sold his Butter creek ranch. There are 240 acres tn tbe ranch, practically all in alfalfa, and tbe consideration was *36,000. Tbe Hinkle ranch is one of tbe beat in the lower Butter eresie section. There is a fine stand of alfalfa, it is all fenced, has house, barn, wells, all necessary implement and stock sheds and is in every wav fitted for tbe new owners to take hold of a producing alfalfa ranch. The new owners have formed a co- operative company, computed of 12 prosperous Tillamook dairymen. They were represented in the transaction by James Williams. Peter Heisei and William J. Berns and have formed tbe Tillamook Land Company to handle their holdings. They have purchased the land to supply their dairy herds with alfalfa hay when the local supply of pasture is exhausted. The hay will be shipped in bale or chopped to Tilla mook and there fed. Heretofore these dairymen have had to depend on buy ing their supply in the open market, which often meant very high prices and a possible shortage. Growing tbeir own hay will do away with the middleman and insure a lower feed cost. Frank Fowler, former resident of the west side, has been secured as manager and be will move onto tbe place at once. The selling of this ranch to Tilla- mook dairymen means big things for the Hermiston country. There are but 12 men interested in the trans- action, while there are hundreds in tbe Tillamook country needing hay every year. The start made by these dairymen will bring many others here io buy land and grow their own alfalfa and tbe market for bay will be much benefitted by those coining here to buy from knowing of tbe quality their neighbors are producing. It will also have a tendency to bring still ethers here to locate with their herds, es- pecially when it is known we bave a first class creamery. Although clear soups, which are largely water, contain little nourish ment, some thick soups, broths and chowders are literally a meal in them selves, according to the dietary spec ialists of tbe United States department of agriculture.
