...payment; by installments under the government plan; 2 per cent. on application; 18 per cent, on November 15, 1917; 40 per cent. on December 15, 1917; 40 per cent. on January 15, 1918, with accrued interest on deferred installments. A third method of payment has been arranged with the local Cambridge banks: two per cent. on application, and, in the case of a $50 bond, $7 per month for 7 months, or in the case of a larger bond, a proportionate increase in the amount payable each month.

But it will be proportionately difficult to silence that bothersome conscience, which demands that we help to make spare hours of our soldiers...
