Only about $4,000 worth of the new
county bonds have been taken by the
citizens of the county as yet. Post.
master Hagerty sold, Indirectly, $3.50
worth of the Baby Bonds to one per-
son. Why it is that sane people will
invest their money in Governments
at 4per cent. when such SPLENDID in
vestment as Elk County bonds at pei
cent. is offered, is a thing past the
comprehension of ordinary mortals.
The $40, ,OOO,OOO Baby Bonds issued
by the L. s. Government have all
been taken. And we will bet S. O(
againsta big cent, and give back the
cent if we win, that not 5 per cent. o
the whole amount remains in the hand,
of the poorer classes for the benefit o
whom they were issued, but on the con
trary the vast bulk of these bonds ar,
held to-day, or will be inside of thre,
months, in the hands ofmen of wealth
and the laboring classes may continu,
to trust to the uncertainty of savings
banks as heretofore
