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.

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

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
