-Staff Photo Business In WartimeBy Louis Schneider GREATEST MONEY DRIVE The second War Loan offering of $13,000,000,000 ran into a flood of subscriptions that poured to the merry tune of more than It was the greateet single successful financing In the history of the world. The Second Federal Reserve District, with New York as its spearhead for nearly $7,000,000,000 more than half of the national $13,000,000,000 offering made on April 12. The Second War Loan financing operation did so well that talk is of withholding the next sale until October. Don't you believe it. There will be one in August.

Sec. Morgenthau says 80. And the chances favor overon whatever amount la requested. EXCEEDED Did you know that the nearly $7,000,000,000 of Second War Loan bonds-sold in the Second Federal Reserve District exceeded the nation-wide total of the huge Fourth Liberty Loan of the last war which was 000,0007 WAR-LOAN STRATEGY Shrewd talking on the part of experienced financial men cooperating in the Second War Loan drive last month saved the day for numerous parts of the country in filling local quotas. The story behind the story is that the Second Federal Reserve District WAS deluged with subscriptions from large corporations.

It accepted, the quota for that district would have exceeded by more than $5,000.000,000. Financial men recognized the situation. There, was a huddle; then action. Corporations were ordered to place subscriptions in areas where branch offices and plants were located. Result: Sub-getters everywhere were encouraged to drive on.

INVESTORS BOUGHT Did you know that of the 000 raised in the Second War Loan sales campaign that 000 came from investors other than commercial MUST DO BETTER-The record figure set up by private investors in purchasing Second War Loan bonds looks good but docen't please Washington. This because it was the buying of and corporations. Fact is that investment willingness small people is still at low level, in contrast a to the 1921-'29 period when such willingness to invest bordered upon mania. Only $500,000,000 of war bonds are sold monthly via the 10 per cent annually. Figuring 00, paged 000,000 workers in the country, it averages $10 per month or only $120 per year per worker.

That's why Sec. Morganthau says the 10 per cent pay-deduct war bond buying plan isn't sufficient and should be lifted to 20 per cent. ALL-OUT FIGHTERS So you know that members of the Army give more than their all in this global war; that during April 000 war bonds in denominations of $25 or larger were paid for in full by enlisted men and commissioned omeers? SMART SELLERS--A share-the luxury movement in on, full blast, in the jewelry feld. The trade reports a huge demand for women war workers welders, rivetetc. And the luxury Items come from granddaughters of wealthy dowagers who do not go in for large beautifully designed ancestral pieces.

The war-working women cannot purchase luxury general merchandise, or automobiles, or refrigerators, or high-priced furniture and radios for themselves or their homes because such aren't available. Result: They for jewelry pieces that cost from $100 to $500, The daughter of the wealthy man has all she wants and doesn't care for heavy jewelry heirlooms. These are sold to jewelers who break them down to small Items. The money the wealthy collect go Into war bonds. These pay interest on capital invested, and the principle remains intact.

BE WISE--Did you know that the United Nations are up the thunderclouds of the greatest attack in and that it would be wise for war workers to place Bush income in war bonds instead of spending foolishly? DEAN BANKS TO SPEAK Miss Marietta Dean of Girls at Rye High' School, will speak at a joint meeting of the Youth Fellowship and the Young Adult Fellowship of the Rye Methodiet Church at 7 P. M. tomorrow in the church parlor." SR. VESTRY MEETS The Senior Vestry of Christ's Church, Rye, will the church tomorrow immediately tollowing the 11 o'clock worship service. Your Victory Garden- It has been a reluctant Spring In year of unprecedented numbers of eager gardeners.

Not very much harm has been done to the early sewings of the hardier vegetable crops, such as beets, rots, turnips, chard and the coldloving peas and lettuce. However, like it hot and some like it and your beans, squash, corn, melons, should not be planted' until the ground is well warmed, no matter what the calendar, may say: Beans already ine the cold ground may come but they will be weakened by their struggle against the cold and will not yield as they should. Even the second plantings of beets and carrots that you may be sewing now, or very soon, will probably come through to matur ity at about the same time as those planted, three weeks ago and will undoubtedly be more vigorous plants. Don't be tempted by couple of yards of hot weather into believing the earth is well warmed, but wait for future signs of consistency. There is an old saying that "when the maple leat is green, that's the time to plant the bean," and it is sound advice.

As to planting tomato plants, peppers, eggplants etc, do wait until the end of this month Quality Meats Theodore Fremd 51 Perchase TeL Rye 153 'Dick' Rovster Held Prisoner In Germany Col.
