Russian Bonds
Suffer Severe
Slump on Curb
Hurried Selling by Holders
on News from Petro-
grad; Rubles Weak

Russian bonds declined precipitately
on the curb yesterday under hurried
selling by holders Of such securities
actuated by the fear that the internal
disturbances reported in the advices
from Petrograd may have disastrous
effects on the finances of the empire.
Heavy selling of Russian securities
was also reported in London.
Locally the Russian external 5i2 per
cent loan. which was brought out here
last fall at an issue price of 9i%i
-. loss of So points from Mondays
close. The Russian external Gas, Of
which s5O,O0O,OO0 were issued on this
side last year at par, opened at S5h
and dropped to 1919, where they showed
a loss Of 6ls points.
Rubles Also Weaken
Coincident with the weakness in
these securities, the price Of rubles IN
the foreign exchange market also de-
clined.
In connection with the weakness OF
Russian bonds and exchange, 1t has
been intimated that the Russian gov
eminent might find it necessary to
reduce the par value of the ruble. This,
it is pointed out. would mean nothing
more or less than a partial reputation
of Russia's obligations. Bankers who
are in intimate touch with Russian
finances say, however, that such de-
velopment is unlikely. as Russia Will
need TO maintain her credit abroad if
she hopes to obtain financial assistance
for her economic rehabilitation after
the war.

SHERIFF S.A. KELLEY
I NOW ENDORSES IT
HIGH TEXAS OFFICIAL SAYS he
FEELS LIKE Different MAN
SINCE TAKING TANLAC.

Hon. S. A. Kelley, of Odessa, Texas,
sheriff and tax collector of Ector county,
il still another prominent citizen who
comes forward with his unqualified en-
Idorsement of Tanlac, the medicine that is
accomplishing such surprising and graft
flying results through the south and west.
Sheriff Kelley not only stands high in
his own community, but his acquaintance
and popularity extends over a wide area
|of this state. While on n trip TO Fort
Worth n few days ago he called nj Rem
lfro's 9TH Street Drug Store for more Tan
lac and in relating his experience with the
medicine, said: 7
Il have never paid much attention to
|patent medicines. In fact, | had very lit
tie faith in any of them, but my wife has
been keeping up with the Tanlac testimon-
ials and | began taking it more because
she begged me to than anything else. Well.
I'm mighty glad now | took it, for the re-
suits nave been fine and there's nothing
too good for me to say for Tanlac. ! had
been in a general Rundown condition for
several months, had no appetite and
couldn't enjoy anything to eat and | also
had rheumatism and suffered with severe
rheumatic pains. My back ached, my kid
neys were out of order and gave me a lot
of worry and Inconvenience and | had that
tired, vermont feeling all the time. My
liver was sluggish, too. and | was bothered
a great deal with constipation and head
aches.
Il Just needed Il general all round build
ing up and Tanlac has certainly lone that
very thing. | nave taken only two bottles
% far but ! nave already improved nm
Til | feel almost like Il different man. Nv
appetite j. fine and | can eat Just any
thing want and what | eat j. giving me
is much better. my kidneys don't bother
me like they did and my sleep j. sound and
Ny liver trouble j. much better.
I'm relieved of constipation and head
aches and feel more active and energetic
than | nave in months. Tanlac has lone
me a world of good and I'm glad to recon-
mend ii to my friends and the public"
Tanlac j. sold in Brownsville by The
Eagle Pharmacy, in Raymondville by Ben
s. Duffield, in San Benito by ~Symond's
Pharmacy, in Rio llondo by Rio Ilondo

Registration

ITO The Herald:
The president has designated June 5th
as registration day. We feel that every
loyal citizen realizes the necessity for a
full registration and that a duty rests upon
Us all to assist toward that end.
1t is ssumed that the local machinery
for registration il arranged, and that the
registration officials understand their du-
ties; but it might be wise for the local
officials to make a final check in order to
be sure that no point is overlooked.
While the great majority of our citizens
are 81 or over, and not 81 years of age on
that day are required to register, it il
probable that a considerable number seat
tered over the state and particularly among
our negro population, do not understand
the law, and the penalty for not register
ing. In justice TO them we urge every cit
|izen to give all possible publicity to the re-
quirements of the law.
But of even higher Importance is the ne
cessity that the people of Texas be brought
to realize and know that not alone the
young men who on that day register for
military service. but all of us, young and
old, men and women, must perform our du-
ties a. loyal citizens. The farmer and
|stockman TO produce the food to sustain
the nation: the housewife 20 conserve
without boarding. and To economic to pre-
vent waste; each of us to take a share of
the Liberty Loan according to our means
and one and all to put the nations need
above our self interest, that we may add
our part to the country'S strength.
Let u all on June 9th re-consccratc our
lives To our country's service and pledge
ourselves each Ia the other that every Tex
I'M will do his part 20 well that in the fu-
turc our children may h. proud that this
crisis found the people of Texas worthy
OF the heritage handed Town to IL by
those heroes who fought and died that We
NIGH enjoy the blessing, of liberty and
self government.

SELECT PLACE
FOR A FOUNTAIN
CIVIC LEAGUE COMMITTEE AND MAN
AGER WILLIAMS DECIDE UPON
eleventh AND ELIZABETH.

If the Brownsville Ladies Civic League
accepts the report of its chairman, Mrs
Chester DeBardeleben, appointed to Sc
cure a location for the drinking fountain
it is probable that the fountain will be To-
Gated in front of the Merchants National
Band building on Elizabeth street.
Mrs. DeBardeleben and City Manager +
III. Williams this morning made a o u OF
the city streets in search of a desirable To-
cation. As it was necessary TO find a To-
cation where both the water mains and the
storm sewerage lines could be reached
without tearing up the pavement or run
ming a hong and expensive pipe line some
difficulty has been experienced in deciding
upon Il location.
The fountain i of the type known as |
bubble fountain and i of a type similar
TO those usually installed in the rotunda>
of public Buildings. The fountain was
presented TO the Civic League several
years ago by 4. Dittmann of the Dittmanr
theatre, but on account Of the difficulty IN
drainage and water connection has never
been installed.
Mr.. DcBardclcbcn will report the >ccur-
ing of a site at the next meeting of tbs
league.
