LIBERTY BONDS WILL BE PAID MELLON CALLS SECOND LOAN PAYMENT. Steps Taken to Inform All Holders.— Will Use Radio for This Purpose e for First Time. Washington, D. C., May 0.—Secre tary Meflboti has called Idr payment on Novemiber 15, 1927, all outstanding Second Lfcerty Loan bonds. Interest on these bonds will cease on Novem ber 15, 1927. Approximately $1,700, 000,000 of these bonds are now out standing. 1 - _ , While the bonds will be paid on November 15, 1927, it is quite proba ble that during tlie next six months the Treasury will extend to the holders of the Second Liberty Loan bonds an opportunity to exchange them for other Government securities! No announcement has as yet been made as to the type of security to be offered in exchange, or the. date on which the exchange oflfcft may be expected. The Treasury explains that the terms of the bonds require that a notice be given to the public six months in advance of the redemp tion date. The Secretary’s announce ment, therefore, does not mean that the bonds will be paid at the present time, but merely places the holders on notice that their bonds will be re deemed on November 15, and will cease to bear interest on that date. If holders of Second Libertie* de sire to have their bonds redeemed, they should present them for pay ment on November 15, 1927, but if they desire other Government obliga tions in place of their Seconds, they should watch for further announce ment and notify their bank to keep them informed of any exchange offer ing that may he mode by the Treas ury. In 1917 and 1918, it will he recall, ed. when the Government was selling bonds of the several Liberty Loans, a nation-wide campaign was conduct ed, every available facility being used to reach the public and »ell . the bonds. The situation is now practi cally reversed, and the Government is preparing to redeem or exchange some of these bonds. While no such elaborate canvass is contemplated for the redemption notice as was undertaken in 1917, the. Treasury nevertheless i* making a special ef fort to inform the holders of Second Liberty Loan bonds that their bonds will cease to bear interest on Novem ber 15, 1927. Banks and trust com panies throughout the country will be asked to cooperate with the Gov ernment in spreading the new’s of this call for redemption, and in ad vising the holders of bonds that the Treasury will probably offer new securities in exchange. For the first time the radio will be used by the Government as a means of reaching millions cf bondholders. An announ cement will shortly be broadcast from the larger radio stations of the country. The importance of acquainting bondholders with the fact thvt their bonds have been called for pay ment is emphasized by the Treasury’s records of previous calls for re demption or exchange. These records show that there are still outstanding at the present time, in the hands of the public, about $30,000,000 in Gov ernment securities upon which inter est has ceased. Included in this amount are $3,600,000 in Victory notes which ceased to bear interest in 1922 and 1923. There are also out standing $14,500,00 in temporary bonds of the several Liberty Loans, to which were attached only a limited number of interest coupons matured seme seven years ago. The holders of these temporary bonds have neg lected to exchange them for perman ent bonds having the full of interest 'Coupons attached, and until such ex- change is made they have no means '«f collecting the interest. In the face of these facts, the Treasury is espec ially anxious that the present an nouncement reach as many Second Liberty Loan bondholder* as it is possible to reach through the press, tile radio, and ‘ the banks of the country. 'x The Second Liberty Loan, which was issued in November, 1917, was the second large loan floated by the QgWttnment during the World War, and while this loan does not mature until 1942, the condition of thfe money market and of the Government’s fi nances makes k possible and advisa ble to call the bonds for redemption in November, 1927.. , ADVERTISE in The People SeotineL * X FRIDAY, THE 13TH, TO BE “LUCKY DOLLAR DAY” • AT WHITE’S IN AUGUSTA Four-leaf clovers, black cats, horse- ; ' ... . . i .

HAS REAL CHARM Hand bo me Colonial Hama of tht Lordt Baltimore. Relic of the early days of American colonization and reflecting the archi tectural types of the pre-Revolutlon- ary period, “Dower house.’’ the colo nial home of the Lords Baltimore, one; time great land owners' and lords of what Is nrfw Maryland, la one of the few remaining historical old manor booses of . that Intensively Interesting period. In stands beside the road to Rosaryvllle, some 25 miles from the national capital, and Is owned by Percy Duval. The bunting lodge, the first unit of the rambling old homestead, was built by the second Lord Baltimore In 1643 from plans made by Sir Christopher Wren of London, when he was but a fledgeling architect dreaming of the fame which ultimately he won. In Its construction was used a peculiarly tinted blue brick Imported from Hol land, of which these seem to be* the only remaining examples In use. In general effect the type was Dutch co lonial, as It Is known today, but unique In that It was composed of three sec tions. Virtually all of the lower floor of the center pectIon was taken up by the dining and lounging rooms, the latter being a sort of combined lounge and library. A feature of the dining room was the huge fireplace, six by eight feet, in which it was customaiy not Infrequently to barbecue an entire deer. The section at the right, with the porch, comprised a kitchen below with sleeping rooms on the upper floor. At the other end was the parlor on the lower floor with Lord and Lady Baltimore’s sleeping rooms above. Sleeping rooms also occupied the up per floor of the’main tfWhthT section. Through the period of settlement In the Maryland and Virginia territories the second and third Lords Baltimore lived In the original hunting lodge without adding to It In any substan tial way. Mostly they were engaged with the affairs of their extensive landed Interests, the troublous periods •f the several Indian outbreaks and their surly colonial responsibilities of government. The later additions were made by tbs fourth Lord Baltimore In 1689 and completed by Lard Balti- Bioa V J# .ITW. Tbe great win* which liTYhe later years became the manor house proper and the scene of many brilliant social events was built of na tive brick In the type that later be came the accepted standard of the South. ,Thie portion of the building was later covered with a coating of ce ment, after the Spanish fashion,' In that day » decided innovation for that region and very striking In ef fect.' With Its sturdy brick columns supporting the second story porch It was one of the early examples In that particular section of the southern co lonial type of architecture which was later to come Into such popular favor. Thereafter the old hunting lodge un derwent some considerable revision. The dining and lounging rooms were converted into one large dining room, more efficiently to meet the Increasing demands of the times. Tbe littfe liv ing room at the end became a library. But sentiment still retained the mas ter’s quarters on the second floor. Elaborate landscaping eventually addtod greatly to the attractiveness of the old homestead. Two row* of tall, stately >ceew flanked the approach across the terraced lawn from the roadway to tbe main entrance of the mansion. Gossfa left their carriages at the gateway, which was In the midst of a widely spreading bed of lilies of the valley. Evergreen hedges, the boxwood for some of which had come from Mount Vernon, sktyted the grounds. In season flowers added flashes of brilliant coloring evaiy- where. It was perhaps the ontstand. Ing manor house of Its day. Washington supplied from Mount Vernon the cuttings for the Ivy growth which still clambers over the walls of the old house. Major L’F.nfant, who laid out the national capital, directed the later landscaping changes. The “Dower house’’ was In high favor. Something of Its ancient charm still clings about those rooms In which the furnishings, draperies, antique furni ture and old paintings still remain, vir tually undisturbed In more than a cen tury. In these rooms Ilttl*. If any thing. has been changed. The walls are streaked with the stains of time; the plastering Is discolored and cracked and disintegrating; In some places It has fallen away completely from the ceiling. But one sees non# of this. Only the picture of what it was a century ago. , Got Under His Skin.

It Is absurd to sup pose that the babies born into this world between certain early Twentieth century dates should have been pre- natally disposed toward evil. If we do not believe what you believed when you were young it Is because you elders have destroyed the foundations of belief. If we misbelieve it Is be cause we see you misbelieving. If we are shameless about our. misbehavior It Is because we see you doin^the same things and lying about them. “Do not blame us. It may be that we are misapplying our knowledge. But at least we got the knowledge from you.” Poor Old Doc Henneberry. jraa_al*. lent" It seemed to me that I could see into his mind, and watch with him the review of the "years.

C« Foolin’ X The fight for business leadership is no monkey business in this day and age, as is evidenced by the latest report from commer cial centers — and which has to do directly^ with the future of towns exactly the size of BARNWELL. . X It has been learned that the bi^ mail* order houses now maintain a department, the duty of whos£ staff is to read weekly newspapers from all Over the country ai continually make a survey of the different districts to learn of mail-order selling possi bilities. And, it is a fact—that immediately that department finds a town or country wherein the local merchants are not using the local paper to advertise their merchandise to the trade—that district is immediately flooded with catalogues—because it is virgin terri tory and the mail-order houses have learned that they can do GOOD business there. We pass this information along to busi ness leaders of BARNWELL and assure them that all of our support is of course with them. We maintain a local advertising service which can be used to advantage -- and for such service We make no extra charge. Come in or ’phone and we will call.; Business goes to those Who go after it.
