Mature In Ten Years. The third issue of Liberty Loan Bonds will mature in ten years, on | September 15, 1928, the Treasury I Department to-day announced, and will bear interest from May 9, next, payable semi-annually, on Septem ber 15 and March IB. "Payment in full may be made . with the application on or before I May 4," tho treasury announced, but I bonds will not be delivered before May 9 on any subscription for an I amount exceeding $10,000. Full pay ment may be completed upon sub scriptions for any amount on May 9 or any subsequent installment date. "Payment of any installment, In cluding the first installment of five per cent, or payment in full, may be made in treasury certificates of in debtedness except those maturing April 22 and June 25. Qualified de pository banks nnd trust companies may make payment by credit upon j the subscriptions of themselves and i their customers, but only to tho ox ' tent that they cannot make payment in treasury certificates of Indebted ness. On Inhcrituneo Tax. "Third Liberty Loan Bonds which have been owned by a person for six months prior to tho dato of his death will bo acceptable at par and accrued ? Interest in payment of United States inheritance taxes upon his estate. This applies also to 4 % per cent bonds issued upon convei*sl?n." The treasury also explained that the Liberty Loan bill provides for the purchase of one-twentieth of the total issue of the third loan this year, and that this provision also ?applies to bonds of the second loan and converted bonds of the first loan. Four Weeks' Campaign. The third Liberty. Loan campaign will last for four weeks, ending May i 4. Banks will be given five days af ter the campaign closes to tabulate and report, subscriptions. Instead of requiring a two per cent cash payment with the subscrip tion, as in tho second loan, five per cont will be asked for the third loan. Twenty per cent then will be due May 28; 35 per cent July 18, and 40 per cent August 15. The treasury expects many sub scribers to pay in full. on purchase and these early payments may be sufficient to redeem tho $900,000,000 of certificates of indebtedness falling due before May 9. Otherwise it may be necessary to refund the certificates with other short time lots. Officials also bolieve tho May 28 payment ac tually will be much greater than the 20 per cont required. The installment payment dates have been arranged so that nono will come In June when tho drain on the country's financial resources will be great on account of income and ex cess profits tnx due June 16. -- - -.

A It Is hard to glye thurn up; but there are two sides of this question: The side of the boy himself: He has his own honor to consider; he hus to live with himself, and the worst doom a man can endure is to live with a dishonorable self. He may save his life on what appears to be the most rational Justification, but will he not tuereby lose it? The moment we hoar our coun try's call we see tho question from the point of view of our friends' and loved ones' honor. Wo not only ap proved of their decision, but wo are proud of lt. If these boys aro nobly glad to moko thoir sacrifices, we should bo contemptible If we were unwilling to make our sacrifice in surrendering them to the call of imperative duty. Such occasions call for i ood qualities in us, and hero we may show our ? dear old Americanism and loyalty for ' which we stand. We will back our boys to the vow end. We keep learning; we learn oven from tho ones far away. By their heroism we ef-o educated; we have realized through them that tho di vinest thing in human life ls sacri Ilce. It seems strange to say thal tho sons aro educating the parents, but that is precisely what ls being done at the present. The natural impulse of youth if toward tho heroic. War is a call t( the heroic. The greatest sacriflcej In generations are to-day coming t< our young lives as well as to tho old Could Wo Bo Proud? If all these dear ones had not re sponded to tho call of the heroic should we have been satisfied wltl them? We might have been selilsh ly glad to have had thom with u while their comrades marched awa: to certain peril. But would there no have been elemente of shame in ou gladness? Would wo not have fel that their indifference, their prefer ence for ignoble security was an ac cusation of us, and a slur? Wouli we not have been. disappointed li them? When those boys showed capacity for heroism and sacrifice, di they not thereby put a new honor o nu and unconsciously Invoke in us worthiness that should bo equal t their own? When the world-wide trouble I over among all our people there wil be those, who have fought and er dured for a just and honorabl cause; new standards will prevail life-will have new values-a swee1 ness of which the people have nev? had a taste-the "Cup of Freedom, of which lt ls hoped that all natlor will be invited to partake. Millior of men will return to civil life wli have learned in hardship, misery, i pain and daily contact with deat! the supreme joy of sacrifice. Th< will know what it means to give AL and dare ALL for a cause. These are the men who havo stoc the test. They will be very contem tuous of selfishness, cowardice, cor placency, and those Ideals of li which are based wholly on mater! values. Their minds, having be? sobered and elevated by the tragedl they have witnessed and undergo^ will find no point of contact wi those who think only In the terms frivolity and trivial personal air and selfish pleasure. Sliall We Bo Worthy of Them? How can we, foreseeing all thc things, fail to make ourselves w< thy of the men who have endur and given their whole life to t cause for our sake? If it had n boon for all the people loft behind people who love freedom, charity a loyalty, in America-how would o men have fought? If we have glv nothing for a cause to which th have given everything, or if, in g ing them, wo gave grudlngly, a still koep a grudge alive and sh< ourselves incapable of matchl thoir active heroism with our o' passive heroism, we shall find tl they have so outgrown us in mo: stature that any true communion 1 tween us and them has become 1 possible. If we are to keep the keep their love and respect, we c do so only by doing our duty borne while they aro at the bat front. For them to know that we homo are working and sacrificing their individual benefit means mi in winnlg the great battle. It woi bo tragedy indeed for them to reti to us Just to find that they had b< neglected by those in whom they 1 put the utmost confidence. In many different ways wo may I to rospect "our boys" who have \ untoered to serve the great.cause which our bright Stars and Strl stand. Ono thing: Lot us keep in m tho slacker. Don't we know thai would break tho hearts of our bri boys for us to koop, or permit to kept, a slacker in our midst? / to do so would moan that wo o selves had joined the band. "< boys" wouldn't stand for it; v should we? Middle Aged Womera Are Here Told the Best Remedy for Their Troubles.

So it seems to mo that tho right at titude of tho American fathers, moth ers, brothers and sisters left behind, who have given "our boys" up to tho service of our country, is a kind of solemn pride In their worthinoss and an humble prayer that we may not fall below tho level of their oxamplo.
