THE RICHMOND PALLADIUM AND SUN-TBLEGRAM, FR1DAV, MAY 26, 1917

BANKERS MEET TO PUSH SALES OF W BONDS Bankers of Richmond met today to push the sale of Liberty Loan Bonds in Richmond and Wayne county. The Fovernment has suggested that the Hty's apportionment of bonds is about $800.00oTne-half of which has been

subscribed, and that of Wayne county

about $1,000,000.

The churches will be called on to advertise the sale of the bonds next

Sunday. School teachers will tell th

pupils of the movement. Reference will. be made to the issue on Memorial Day by the speakers. Interest In the small towns and. rural districts . of

county will be awakened. describes the Issue.

Celet Burgess and H. A. Lamb of the Vigilantes describe the issue as fol

lows:

England calls her latest loan of Five

Billions the Victory Loan.

France's latest appeal for money was

christened the National Defense Loan. Sixth War Credit to the official name

of Germany's last bond issue. It is significant when one knows that her debt is now $20,000,000,000. The United States have no men ready to fight, no arms, no supplier The only thing we can do and must do immediately is, while we are preparing, to give our allies enough financial fupport to allow them to replenish their fast-ebbing resources. Congress, therefore, has pledged itself to come to

their rescue by creating a war fund of

Seven Billions. This is the Liberty Loan. Back Up Congress. To get back of Congress and raise this money as soon as possible is now the plain duty of every loyal American citizen. - ;. v Now the American citizen is patriotic enough when aroused, but -he doesn't quite understand this premptory way of raising money. Nor does he realize even the great security of the Investment. Take his money out of the bank and .invest in . a newfangled loan project? Not yet;, wait a while, and see what happens. But delay Is dangerous. We want a popular subscription, a loan with a backbone, financed by individuals by many thousands all over the country endorsing the war, unifying public opinion, and solidifying patriotism. The time will come soon enough when we shall have to pay in blood: let us pay in gold now, so that that human sacrifice may not be, as it was in England and France, in vain!

'CupiT' is Inexperienced tut is regarded as a fine prospect and may be retained. Bossotoni has failed to ' show much and must get Into his stride at once if he is to be retained.

WILL CONTINUE STRIFE

Meetings called by "community defense committees" te take steps to increase the available food for man and livestock have pained definiteness of program. Many proposals have been sifted to a few important lines of action. "Five acres of j?reen feed in July" has become a slogan of the meetings as well as "grow a garden" and "more sheep, more wool." The green feed will be needed to maintain the normal supply of milk for babies through the summer, fall and winter in spite of hitrh prices and scarcity of all feed. Wholesale aid for this form of food defense has been offered, the agents of Libby, McNeill & Libby having been authorised to announce that they will furnish for plowing of an increased acreage as many tractors as are necessary to handle the work that romps to them In each community.

"We realize." said an official of

that firm, "that every one of us must do our little bit to increase, as well as to conserve, foods in this country.

We are furnishing plows and tractors to put more land under cultivation and in doing this we ask the farmers to put in five acres of green feed which will be ready to harvest during July. We are suggesting for this green feed 90-day corn, sweet corn, or oats and field peas mixed. One of the problems in the dairy business is to provide green feed during July and August, but unless cows are well cared for during those months they go into fall pasture and

Several farmers", one or two bankers and a manager of canning or milk plants have been chosen for the "defense" work and the plans are to maintain the work permanently dur ing the war. ,

AMSTERDAM. May 25 The Socialist newspaper Vorwaerts of Berlin says that the recent statements of Premier Lvoff and Foreign Minister Tereschtenko of Russia, expressing determination to continue the war with the country's allies, are a great disappointment to those in Germany

J who expected a separate peace quickly

The drastic measures taken to keep the citizens of the nations with which we are at war away from armories, arsenals, public stores, the navy yard and other important government buildings, in many cases would prevent these residents of this city from coming and going from their homes to their work. For this reason thousands of Germans and Austrians are besieging the Federal building in New York to secure permission to go about their pursuits.

W IE n M M (S) ID 9 S Announcement Extraordinary on Pianos and Player-Pianos The United States Government has a War Tax Bill under consideration. This bill is now receiving its final touches by Congress and in all likelihood, will become a law within the next two weeks. The bill provides as follows: (Thi3 is the exact language) (b) "upon all musical instruments, sold by the manufacturer, producer or importer, for more than $10 each, and upon pianos, players, phonographs, graphophones, talking machines, and records used in connection with any musical Instrument, piano-player, graphophone, phono- . . , graph, or talking machine sold by the manufacturer, producer or Im porter, a tax equivalent to 5 per centum of the price for which so sold." EVERY PIANO AND PLAYER-PIANO offered for sale, whether it is now in the hands of the merchant or manufacturer, will be taxed 5 per cent, according to the new revenue bill which is now before congress. ; Besides this, the duty on tuning pins, ivory, felts, varnish gums,, shellac,, , rubber and all other imported raw materials entering into the construction of pianos and playerpianos will be increased from 20 to 30 per cent. Thus the proposed 5 per cent tax and the increased cost of almost every item entering into piano construction, will immediately increase the selling price of pianos and player-pianos from $50 to over $100 each, and this applies alike to pianos, player-pianos and grands. There is no evading it. . NOW During the next six days (until June 1st), we will sell every Piano or Player in our stock at A DISCOUNT OF 10; which means a total saving of 15 on each and every instrument bought during these few days. And this advertisement is published to call to the attention of those who are expecting to place pianos in theirhomes within the next few months, the fact that if they want to take advantage of the low prices which are now prevailing they must do so NOW BEFORE THE WAR REVENUE BILL, WHICH IS NOW BEFORE CONGRESS, BECOMES A LAW v : - This is a plain fact that thrifty and prudent buyers simply CANNOT and should not ignore. .... . ...
