investors in denominations of $25,
■ $50, $100 and $500, mature in ten
years and may be purchased now at
a discount of 25 per cent, which rep-
resents the interest they earn over
the ten year period.

man, with Mrs. L. W. Shoemaker as

portance is destroying gophers.
Enough poison can be bought for
50 cents to poison 100 acres. It is
suggested that farmers block at
least 1,000 acres for this purpose,
so that gophers will not come in
from neighboring farms. When as
much as 1,000 acres are blocked the
county agent will see that the com-
accomplished.
Delightful refreshments were
served by the hostess.
