A BOND IN EVERY HOME.

and social fabric of the nation will be
torn to pieces. Wise is the man who
prepares for that day by putting his
money in bonds The country after
the war is going to stagger under a
burden OF taxation. The Government
will have to find something to cake
the place Of liquor, which furnished
half the taxes in normal times but
now is gone, thank God, and railroads,
which he predicted the Government
would keep and which would be free
from taxation. Only land, personal
property and incomes will remain to
be taxed. What is going to be the
plight of the man who has not sense
and patriotism enough to put his mon
ey in bonds, free from taxation, where
he will be safe no matter what storms
of taxation and burdens of panic
come.
No Parties in This War.
Some men may say this is Demo

Fixing Price of Cotton.
1t the Government fixes the price
of cotton we may be sure that it is
done because it is necessary, ane

greeted with hearty applause.
Bonds Below Par.
Some may argue that bonds of las1

| only the operation Of the old law Of
supply and demand, there are more
bonds than the market will absorb un
der present conditions. English cor
soils have sold at so, French bonds al
