The Junior Class of P. H. S.-

home- of Mr. and Mrs. J, F.

the prize in the contest of the1
evening. Following canifi thai
solution to the mystery that has.
shrouded the Juniors for weeks.
Matriculation cards of "Seit-
newl ' High.School were patseJ,',
out, and after all of the courses
wer® properly signed up and ap-
proved by Supt. Howard Camp--
bel1, the fun of the evening be-
gan. The chapel exercises were'
indeed inspiring on account of
the well known famous orchestra-
numbers composed of an accordi- ■
on, ar bats viol, a ukulele and-
three combs, also the educational
talk by a celebrated lecturer on<
"How to Behave at a Banquet,""
and the piano 30I0 by a wonder-
ful local artist. It was soon dis-
covered that in order to pass the'

necessary to partake of, symboli-

Simple Facts About the Notes;
, of the Victory Liberty Loan
There are two kinds of not si
being issued. Both mature in
three or four years, as the Gov--
ernmeni; chooses latex. ' .
The first kind bear 4 3-4 p-:-r
c&nt. interest yearly* payable
every six months. These are
free from State and local t&xea,.
except estate and inheritaiu a-
taxes, and from the normal Fed-
eral Income taxes.
The second kind'bear 3 3-4 per-
cent. interest and are free frt.rn.'
taxation as the others are, but irt
addition are free from super-
taxes and every other form of"
taxation, except the usual estate-
and inheritance taxes.
Notes of either kind can be-
changed for those of the other
issue, .at the wish of the.buyer.
The notes of both series will he-
dated and bear interest from
May 20, 1919, and will mature-
on May 20, 1923. Interest will'
be payable of December 15,1919,
and after that on June 15 and.;.
December 15, and at maturity.
The dates upon which "payments..
will be required on the notes are-.
as follows:
Ten per cent with application:
on or before May 10.
Ten per cent on July 15i
Twenty per cent on August 12.'.
Twenty per cerH on Sept. 9.
Twenty per cent on October 7.
Twenty per cent on Nov. 11
with accrued interest on deferred
installments.
Payment in full can be. made '
oiv May 20, the ten per cent re-
quired with application having-
been duly paid on or before May
10. Payment can also be com-
pleted on any installment date
with accrued interest.
This accrued interest is the
money you refund to Government.
on account of the fact that it-
pays you -interest on the fulls
amount of your Bond from May
20, whereas it does not have the •
full uso of your money until yout
have paid the last installment.
This amounts to very little. , oil*:
