6 EEE ER KN WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 7, 1917 EE RB RB = LIBERTY LOAN WILL * BE OUT IN OCTOBER Next Issue of War Bonds Will Be Made October 15--Known as the "Second Liberty Loan." BONDS MAY BE EXCHANGED Buyers of First Bonds May Exchange Them for Those of This Issue. Three billions of the original $5,- 000,000,000 liberty loan authoriation will be included in the "$11,000,000,000 war budget." This issue will be made October 15, probably known as the "second liberty loan." Part of this issue, it was learned, may be used to replace the original $2,000,000,000 liberty loan if investors holding the original 3), per cent bonds wish to exchange them for the new "4s." Part will be used to take up the $2,000,000,000 worth of short term certificates authorized and is- sued at the time of the liberty loan. By this plan only $1,000,000,000 worth of new money will have to be raised at this time through bond sub- scription. Allies' Loan in Spring. " The new $4,000,000,000 loan to the allies will not be made until spring. Secretary McAdoo has decided not to float this particular loan until Feb- ruary. The original authorization for the liberty loan was $5000,000,000. At the time war was declared ,the bill provided, if further, issues were made the first bonds would carry the same percentage as the second. McAdoo holds investors in the original issue are entitled to the change. Two Billions in Certificates. The $2,000,000,000 worth of short- time certificates have been handled chiefly through the banks. Mr. Mc- Adoo has been issuing from $250,000,- 000 to $300,000,000 of these weekly. Practically a billion dollars' worth has gone out. Every effort will be made to dispose of all these short- time notes by October 15. At that time the new bond issue will be avail- able and the short-time securities may be taken up by the bonds instead of cash. Secretary McAdoo will ask author- ization for issue of $2,000,000,000 worth of short-time securities for government needs. As many war sav- ings certificates will probably be asked. These latter plans are tenta-. tive and may not be needed if the war revenue bill now pending in Congress is increased. = EE EE COLUMBIA SCHOOL WILL OPEN WILMETTE BRANCH Concerts and Recitals Are Planned for the Coming Season. The fall term of the Columbia School of Music at the Wilmette branch will open on September 17. Miss Pearl M. Barker, who is prin- cipal of the branch school, will con- tinue to direct the classes, with the assistance of a number of new teach- ers. Classes have been arranged in piano, harmony, technic, ear-training, and special work will be given in the kindergarten classes. Miss Barker will give a number of concerts this season in Wilmette, the pupils of the branch school taking part. As an added feature the ad- vanced pupils of Clare Osborne Reed, director of the 'school and artist teacher, will present a number of her students in recital. | <0 0 0.0. EVANSTON STRAND BILLS PLAY, "WITHIN THE LAW" Photoplay Stopped in Chicago Will Appear at North Shore Theater. Bayard Veiller"s wonderful drama, "Within the Law," which has been screened by Greater Vitagraph, and is to be shown at the Evanston Strand theater next week, is an un- answerable argument against the small salaries paid to department store girls in many of the large cities throughout the country. This picture was not allowed to show in the theaters of Chicago by 'the city's board of censors. This announcement by the Strand man- agement gives the "movie fans" their second opportunity to see apicture in Evanston that the Chicago cen- 'sors have refused to permit at the city's theaters. ; EEEER 'Meatless Weeks. "There is to be a meatless week in Saxony in September and another in October. Full Garbage Pails in America Means Empty Dinner Pails for Many Workers By Herbert Hoover, U. S. Food Administrator Save the Wheat.----One wheatless meal a day. Use corn, oatmeal, rye or barley bread and non-wheat breakfast foods. Order bread twenty- four hours in advance so your baker will not bake beyond his needs. Cut the loaf on the table and only as re- quired. Use stale bread for cooking, toast, etc. Kat less cake and pastry. Our wheat harvest is far below nor- mal. If each person weekly saves Herbert Hoover. one pound of wheat flour that means 150,000,000 more bushels of wheat for the allies to mix in their bread. This will help to save democracy. Save the Meat.--Beef, mutton or pork not more than once daily. Use freely vegetables and fish. At the meat meal serve smaller portions, and stews instead of steaks. Make made-dishes of all left-overs. Do this and there will be meat enough for every one at a reasonable price. We are today killing the dairy cows and female calves as the result of high price. Therefore, eat less and eat no young meat. If we save an ounce of meat each day per person, we will have additional supply equal to 2,200,000 cattle. Save the Milk.--The children must have milk. Use every drop. Use buttermilk and sour mil kfor cook- ing and making cottage cheese. Use less cream. Save the Fats.--We are the world's greatest fat wasters. Fat is food. Butter is essential for the growth and health of children. Use butter on the table as usual, but not in cooking. Other fats are as good. Reduce use of fried foods. Save daily one-third ounce animal fats. Soap contains fats. Do not waste it. Make your own washing soap at home out of the saved fats. : Use one-third ounce less per day of animal fat and 375,000 tons will be saved yearly. Save the Sugar.--Sugar is scarcer. We use today three times as much per person as our allies. So there may be enough for all at reasonable price use less candy and sweet drinks. Do not stint sugar in putting up fruit and jams. They will save butter. If every one in America saves one ounce of sugar daily, it means 1,100,- 000 tons for the year. Save the Fuel.--Coal comes from a distance and our railways are over- burdened hauling war material. Help relieve them by burning fewer fires. Use wood when you can get it. Use the Perishable Foods.--Fruits and vegetables we have in abund- ance. As a nation we eat too little green stuffs. Double their use and improve your health. Store potatoes and other roots properly and they will keep. Begin now to can or dry all surplus garden products. Use Local Supplies--Patronize your local producer. Distance means money. Buy perishable food from the neighborhood nearest you and thus save transportation. Watch out for the wastes in the community. Full garbage pails in America mean empty dinner, pails in America and Europe. J If the more fortunate of our people will avoid waste and eat no more than they need, the high cost of liv- ing problem of the less fortunate will be solved. WILSON SENDS GODSPEED TO NEW NATIONAL. ARMY President Wilson hds addressed a final word to the men drafted for America's first great national army: "To the Soldiers of the National Army: "You are undertaking a great duty. The heart of the whole country is with you. Everything you do will be watched with deepest solicitude, not only by those near and dear to you, but by the whole nation. "For this great war draws us all together, makes us all comrades and brothers, as all true Americans felt themselves to be when we first made good our national independence. "The eyes of the world will be upon you, because you are in some special sense the soldiers of freedom. "Let it be your pride, therefore, to show all men not only what good soldiers you are, but also what good men you are, keeping yourselves fit and straight in everything and pure and clean through and through. "Let us set for ourselves a stand- ard so high it will be a glory to live up to it and add a new laurel to the crown of America. "My affectionate confidence goes with you in every battle and every test. "God keep and guide you. "WOODROW WILSON." | =0 0 -0. 0 Leaves for Alaska.
