STATE LAND SALES
AGGREGATE HALF MILLION.

Santa Fe, N. M. Sixty
nine tracts of New Mexico state land,
having a total of 67,696.33 acres, were
sold at public auctions in seven coun-
ties during the month of June, for a
total of 493,411.33, or an average Of
1929 an acre. The sales were in Cur
ry, Colfax, Mora, San Miguel, Santa
Fe, Roosevelt and Lincoln counties,
and bidding was active at every sale.
The land sold in Santa Fe and Lin
coin counties was within the SO per
acre minimum value area and the av-
erage of the months sales is regard
ed as quite as satisfactory as that
realized in the record breaking sales
in April, when 1887 acres sold for
an average of S7.70 an acre. Prac-
tically all of the land sold in April
was in the IS area.
As in the April auctions the vast
majority of the tracts sold in June
were small, and were bought by bona
ide residents who expect to make
homes of their purchases. Of the 60
tracts sold so were of GAO acres or
less. OF the remaining 10 tracts, 10
tracts were sold of more than 5000
acres, these being 5120 and 7040 acres
in Curry county, and 1909 and d.
343 in Colfax county. Sixty-one Of
the June sales were to citizens Of
New Mexico and eight to n%on-resi-
dents who came from Minnesota,
Kansas, Texas, and California. The
highest price paid was S21.35 for 200
acres of Colfax county dry-farm land.
Only n sale that in Grant coun-
ty, is scheduled for July, but a num-
Der of sales, chiefly of grazing land,
are advertised for August, Active as

UNITED STATES BONDS.

The United States government is- gues bonds in two forms: CD Bearer bonds with interest coupons at ach- cd, commonly called coupon bonds; (2) bonds registered both. as to prin- cipal and interest. Liberty Loan Bonds are issued in both bearer and coupon forms.
 '@ A bearer or coupon bond is payagle to the bearer, the holder, the title passing by delivery. The Treasury Department does not require proof Of ownership when such bonds are pre- sented for payment or exchange, the holder thereof being recognized Such bonds may be bought and sold with out formality and without indorse- ments of any kind. Attached to bear CT bonds arc sheets of coupons or cer-' ti1cates of interest, One of these coupons becomes due each interest payment date and should be detached by the owner. of the bond and cashed at his bank or presented to a treasury office for payment.
 A registered bond is payable only to its owner or his order, and can pc transferred onfy by being properly in dorsed and assigned gy the owner. The bond has inscribed on the face
  and such fact is recorded on the books of the Treasury Department against the particular bond indicated. The change in ownership of a registered bond is effected by the original payee indorsing and assigning the bond, using the form on the back thereof in accordance with the regulations of the Treasury Department. Such assign i1nent must be made before an officer designated by the Treasury Depart rnent, and such officer. must certify thereto and affix his official seal.
