POLITICAL ANNOUNCEMENTS JURY COMMISSIONER. We are authorizad to announce the name of A. C. Ripka. of Centre Hall borough, as a candi date for the nomination of Jury Com missioner on the Democratic ticket, at the Primaries, eSept>m- ber 18, 1917, A TIMu 10 SAVE, There is on'y one thing certain sbout the finapcal and commercial conditions that peace is going to bring and that is their uncertainly. It may be that an era of grest prosperity may be upon us ; it may be an era of stag- pation ; it may be an era of the sever- est competion we have exp-rienced. It involves a paradox, but in thie present time of comparative commer- cial peace, for the great war has large- ly stopped for a time the struggle among nstions for foreign commerce, itis a «ise thing to prepare for the economic war that will succeed the present world-wide war, It is well for every American citi- zen to lay seide in some absolutely safe security something for that day that is coming. If it be great prosper- ity one will be able to take advantage of it, Ifitis stagnation one will be enabled to live through it. If it be a bitter competion one will be better to withstand it. No better provision could be made for the future than an investment ip Literty Loan Bonds, They are abso- lute'y safe and po possible conditio can destroy their value ; exempt from all taxation except estate or inherit- ance taxes the income cannot be lessened ; with a market everywhere in the United States and, ss compet- ent financial suthorities assert, =a market ip every commercial center in the world when peace comes, they will be readily convertible into cash. They possess all of the element's that would attract a sound investment in times of certainty. More than that an American citizen investing in Liberty Loan Bonds is investing in victory, for the proceeds of the Liberty Loan Bonds are to win the wa. and bring peace in Earope and peace and safety to the rest of the world, A ——— Unlike certain other pacifiste~Sen- ator LaFollette, for example—Mr, Bryan makes it appear that he Is a patriot first, In the latest issue of ole paper the Commoner Mr, Bryan takes his stand squarely with those Ameri- cans who believe in giving unqualified support to the national government | the war.

Asks $1000 for Each Exemption Bosrd, Disbursing officer Murdock, repre- senting the federal government in draft matters in Pennsylvania, made application on Monday to the public safety committee for Pennaylvania for $1,000 for ench of the district exemp- tion boards, which have no funds available for clerical work, The gov- ernor’s defense board will be asked to appropriate this sum and the federal government will be asked to reim- burse the state later. The general bellef here is the state will be called upon to pay many of the expenses of the operation of the draft system out of the $2,000,000 defense fund, and it will later on send bills to the United States, The disbursements now being made through draft head- quarters are chiefly for local boards. Meny vouchers have been found de- fective, Drafting of Btate policemen by local boards has raised a new problem un- der the conscription act, a nd according to the latest statment obtainable at the capital it is one for local boards to handle, A few days ago one of the men at headquar ers of one of the troops was drafted and, after being ac- cepted, was ordered into a mobi iza- tion camp. This week one of the boards at Pax ung, Dsuphin county, drafted another. Provost Marshall General Crowder has ruled that ex- emption of state pol icemen is a ques- tion for local boards, I———— A —————— The P.
