LIBERTV BONDS
BV INSTALMENTS
1 Only Necessary to Pay Five Pei
Cent At the Time of Purchase
of Liberty Bond.
The campaign which is now or
i in N'enana for subscriptions to the
. Third Liberty Loan bonds, is pro
gressing favorably, and there is
every indication that it will be suc
cessful.
The committee in charge of sub
scriptions have announced that the
bonds can be purchased on the in
stallment plan, the first necessary
! payment being five per cent of the
purchase price. The following pay
ments have been arranged for any
one partaking of this privilege:
First payment, May 9th, 5 per cent
j Second payment, May 28, 20 per cent
Third payment, July 18, 35 per cent
Final payment, Aug. 15, 40 per cent
This gives a range of four months
for subscribers to take advantage
of the installment proposition. The
campaign will close on May 4th, less
than a month from now.
The bonds of the Third Liberty
Loan mature September 15, 1928,
and bear interest at the rate of 4%
1 per cent per annum. They are non
; convertible and income taxes are not
| charged on Liberty Loan bonds, un
I less purchasers have in their posses
| sion bonds valued at more than
i thirty to forty thousand dollars.
SCHOOL BOARD MEETING
There will be a meeting of the

STOCK FARM PLAN
(Continued from Page One)
agreement from the merchants of
Anchorage to not import potatoes
from the States. This agreement
j will also be signed by a large num
! ber of the consumers, and every ef
i fort is being made by local organi
I zations to encourage the farmers. |
But the market is not sufficient to
consume the root vegetables at the
present rate of production. There
is now more land cleared tHfcn is
needed for the production of root
| crops and much of it can be used tv)
j furnish hay and forage of other
’ kinds for feeding stock. As you un
' doubtedly know, very few of the
[farmers have sufficient funds with
which to purchase stock in the States
so as to get a start. The original
cost of the purchase and the freight
rate between the States and Alaska
are to high for any farmer to under
take.
“There is a large market here for
meat, butter, cheese and other pro
ducts of that kind, and if cattle,
hogs, sheep, goats and chickens can
be brought in by the government,
and supplied to the farmers on easy
payment plans, or loaned for breed
ing purposes, it will enable them to
; get a start. Much of the overpro
j duction of the root crops would be
fed to stock if it was in the coun
I try. and thus prevent these products
1 front being wasted. Undotibtedly
dairying will grow to be a large in
dustry in Alaska, but the develop
tremely slow unle r the government
renders immediate assistance.
“Some of the farmers, however,
advocated the extension of the Farm
Loan Act to Alaska, but they have
not looked into the practicability of
i it applying to the territory. They
all need funds with which to develop
‘ their land, but unless they can en
gage in more diversified farming,
funds will be of little use.
; "The farmers of Alaska are con
fronted with many difficulties that
do not apply to the States. \Ve
1 understand that congress has appro
priated several million dollars, which
is being used by the department of
agricuture to increase the food pro
duction in the States by rendering
aid to the farmer in various ways,
but we understand that this does
' not apply to Alaska. It would seem
that if the government will render
assistance to the farmers in the
States, where they do not need it as
badly as we do in Alaska, and where
the government is not financially in
terested as they are in the construc
tion of the government railroad, that
it would render some assistance to
the farmers in Alaska.
“We believe, therefore, that it
would be advisable to not urge the
extension of the Farm Loan Act >
\ Alaska, but that in lieu thereof you
urge the establishment of stock
farms. If congress should extend
the Farm Loan Act to Alaska, and
you should attempt to get the appro
priation for a stock farm, they would
probably deny it. By showing the
Farm Loan Act is not applicable to
Alaska, you have an excellent argu
ment for the establishment of a stock 1
farm.
“If there is any further informa
tion "you desire on this subject, we '
shall be very glad to supply it if
within our power.
“We would be very glad to hear
from you on the subject.
“Yours very truly,
“R. M. COURTNAY,
“Secretary Anchorage Chamber,
of Commerce.”

The soldiers are confident that h.
they can make a better showing to- W
night than before and will insist o
upon a stricter adherence to the —

Rumor has it that a dark horse
is to be sprung on the fans this

interesting by this mysterious hint.
Come early and avoid the rush,
the game starts after the show and
the usual price for admission will
