No better value for the money could
be asked for than the Winninger play

night, when George VI. Cohan's COM
edy, Officer $685. was presented before
large audience.
Altho a production as finished as was
given here by the Cohan company a
few seasons ago would not be expected.
neither would 1t be expected that a
repertoire company would present the
comedy as we'll as did the Winninger
players. Aside from the two leading
feminine roles the cast was very ac~
ceptable. This was especially true in
the cases OF Glen Coulter. as Travers
Gladwin; William Carlson as Wilson;
and John D. Winninger in the title
role. Two Of the specialties introduce
ed, a brass trio and a travesty on the

GLACIER STREAM HAS
FOUND NEW OUTLET

Parties visiting the Valdez glacier
report that the waters are coming out
from new opening this year. Last
year the stream came out from under
the big glacier at point about mid
way of the huge mass of ice. This year
the stream has burst out at the ex-
IRENE northwest corner against the
mountain, and it is as yet problem
atical whether the waters will sweep
off toward Hubbard's place or follow
last years course toward the lake
stream. the big glacier is receding
fast, and in another century will prob
ably cease to be an attraction to tour
lists; but the future generation should
worry as it will probably not need ice
by that time.

A BUSINESS INVESTMENT

Information being sent out by the
government regarding the 1917 lib
erty loan is of interest TIC the prospect
i've investor. AS everyone realizes the
investment has patriotic character.
for the reason that the money raised
by means of this bond issue is to be
used in prosecuting the war with Ger
many. but these considerations should
lead no citizen to believe that the
purchase of liberty loan bond is
a piece of benevolence or merely a
contribution to a worthy cause.
The liberty loan bond is a good in
vestment as an American citizen can
we'll make. The rate of interest 1t
bears-3la per cent-may seem a
little small, but when its absolute
safety is considered and the fact that
it is non-taxable. and the further fact
that it will be immune from any taxes
that may subsequently be levied by
reason OF the war, and still another
fact that in the case the United States
should later during the war have to
borrow money and pay a higher rate
of interest, the holders of these bonds
can secure bonds bearing that higher
rate-when all these things are con-
sidered, an investment in the liberty
loan possesses advantages which no
other loan in the world possesses.
Another point that wise and thOt-
full people will give consideration is
that an investment in these bonds is
an investment in the defense and pre-
servation OF their liberties. We would
be in danger if the people refused to
lend their money to the government,
of losing all We have-our lives. our
liberty and our national honor. 1t has
come to this. that we must fight for
these things. and to wage war in this
day and time requires not only men
and arms but great sums of money.
Subscribers to liberty loan bonds
are charter members of society TO
maintain our honor md to maintain
democracy here and in all other parts
of the world. Honor and interest, pat
riotism and business Judgment, ali
argue the wisdom OF an investment in
liberty loan bonds.
