BONDS TOO EASY 70 STEAL;
 PLAN TO SAVE GIVEN

Hcw shall the poor man. the labor ing man who has managed to pur. chase a $50 Liberty Bond. how shall he protect his bond?
 The bonds are payable to bearer. Therefore a $50 Liberty Bond in the house is just the same as $50 in gold laying about. just like that much currency hidden in the bureau drawer and it can be stolen and dis posed Of just as easily
 The manof wealth who owns many thousands in Liberty Bonds has plac. edhls bonds along with -other valua- ble papers. in his safety deposit box and the rent Of one for the safe keeping Of a $50 Liberty bond would take all the interest the bond draws
 It has been suggested by federal reserve bank official that savings banks who make a speciality of say ings deposits should offer 10 keep the poe. mans Liberty Bond for him just to encourage the owner to start savings deposit there. The Unit. ed States ranks lowest in the per. centage of savings accounts. and il is thought is savings banks kept free of charge the poor mans bond many new savings accounts would be started in the country.
 Another way to protect the bond holders is 10 have the bonds regis tered in Washington By this pro cess the bonds bear the purchasers name, and no one else can receive he interest from them unless the bond is assigned by the purchaser. Interest checks are mailed from Washington

GOV. cANTU ORDERS
 U. S. sLAcKERs JAILED

PHOENIX. Dec. 7-Goyernor Cantu of Lower California has issued an order for the roundup of all foreign CTS in the Mexican state for the pur- pose of combing out the slackers crossing the border from the United States. A census will be taken of the foreigners and all Americans of military age without evidence of dis. charge from the national army will be put out of the state.
 The Washington government is ex. pected to cooperate and wholesale arrests of s!ackers is expected to follow when they come across the border. Following is Cantu's order in part:
 Tt has come to the knowledge of this government that foreigners Of bad conduct. fugitives from justice and allied di5turbers have come within the territory of the district, breaking the immigration regulations. and it being necessary to maintain at all hazards strict neutrality. it is decreed that you immediately take a census of all foreigners residing in your jurisdiction. ascertaining all data conclusive to a decision showing that it is inconvenient that they continue to reside in this district.

down completely and cried like a baby When he was carried down stairs to his cell in the county jail. he was still crying. no doubt having expected len iency due to his statement
 According to County Attorney Ross and Sheriff Harry Wheeler a thorough investigation is to be made of the case and prose cu,ions are 10 follow. The case Is one that no doubt has more 10 il than appears on the sur face, and if koch's statements which he made can be in the least substantiated by other witnesses. someone else will be made to pay the penalty
 The case of Koch is one of pity for the prisoner rather than condemnation, in the face Of the fact that he committed the deed in cold blood. and if his statements should prove to be true, no stone should be unturn- ed to run the higherups who were really responsible for the crime.
 About an hour after sentence had been pronounced upon Koch by Judge Baughn. wire was received from Fl Paso stating that Mir Brandt was sinking rapidly, and that no hopes were entertained for his surviving an other day.
