V Farmers Asked for 10% of Cream Cheques for War Certificates The farmers of the County of Hur- on are being asked by the National War Finance Committee to loan the Government, for the duration of the war, 10 per cent of their pay che- ques for milk, cream, eggs and other farm products. Crops in this country are splendid and prices are reasonably good. The appeal for the 10 per cent is there- fore receiving a generous response. Payment is madeby giving the pro- dueers War Savings Staines instead of cash for the 10 per cent. The stamps are placed in folders until $4,00 worth is collected, when they can be changed for certificates. Every $4. certificate will be redeemed by the Government in 71/2, years by the pay- ment of $5.00 which means a 3 per cent investment.
