another way to look at the Liberty bonds
solely from the standpoint OF investment for
financial profit: These bonds run for twenty
five years and pay per cent interest. That
is, for the 500 you invest you will yet back

But you call do better than that by clipping
the coupons twice year and depositing the
interest they represent in tho savings bank
at per cent interest compounded semi
annually Money so compounded doubles in
exactly seventeen and half years.

Who'd have died Mt the sight Of q looking glass!

Which Is why no lay, as I've said above
In an ambush there. for his lady love.

And tho Cave Man leapcd from his lurking glen
And grabbing her neck, UP over his back
Tossed his love like n soidarned gunny sack!
And he laughed hS! ha! and he roared with Elcc
Ae he thought wha- lucky old chap was he,
And hurried away. this passionate knave,
And hustled his prey to their Bridal Cave
Six years elapsc; In the meantime, she
Has become expensive lux-u-re
For he knows that with every change of wind
Some different furs hos got to find.
And II keeps him hunting carly and late
Stumbling through forest cursing his fate,
And the girl OF his dreams. from night till dawn
Just stays in the Cave and tries 'em on!

Business men and anyone interested
in the proposition will be especially
invited to attend the meeting for a
discussion of various phases Of the
matter.
A resolution was recently drawn up
regulating the matter of sign hanging

up a $4,000 surety bond 10 protect the
city in case Of accident.
In all probability a new ordinance
will be drafted at Wednesday even-

lake near here Friday night was
shipped from here to Cooperstown,
N. D., where his funeral was held to-
day. The funeral Of Harry Vadnie
will be held Thursday from Hope,
N. D.
The two men were fishing in the
lake when their boat capsized. Vadnie
was unable to swim and it is supposed
that he was seized with cramps while

men went down.
Their bodies were found about is
rods from shore in about six feet of
water.
When the men failed to return
home a searching party was sent to
the lake where the car in which the
men had gone to the lake was found.
Further search discovered the over
turned boat and the hat Of one Of the
men floating near the shore. The
bodies were later found near the same
location.
Both victims were prominent men
of McHenry. Phipps was cashier Of
the First. National Bank of McHenry
and Vadnie vas a druggist of this
place.
