Hold Your Liberty Bonds.

Secretary OF the Treasury McAdoo
urges the purchasers of Liberty
Loan Bonds of both the First ard
Second issues to hold fast to their
bonds. They are the best Invest
ment in the world.
The Secretary's statement was cal
led forth by the fact that Liberty
Bond holders are being approached
from time to time by agents seeking
TO induce them to part with their
Liberty Loan Bonds and take in eX-
change securities which il a number
of cases are of a very questionable
value, and was prompted by the de-
sire to protect the bondholders "a
gainst ill-advised disposition of their
bonds.
The Secretary expresses the hope
that every purchaser of a Liberty
Bond will realize that the only genu-
Inc help that he gives his Govern
ment is keeping his bond as an in
vestmeIt so long as it is possible for
him to do so. He states, however,
that no just objection lies to the
sale of a Liberty Bond where real
necessity exists for its sale.

SUES son FOR $4,000
Civil War Soldier Taken to State
Home in Handouts.

Marshalltown, Ia, Feb. 25-Be-
cause he was brought to the Iowa
Soldiers home in handcoffs, Henry
Maxwell, a civil war veteran living
at Collins, Ia, is plaintiff in an &C
ton brought against his son, G. A.
Maxwell, of Mingo, Ia, in which
damages in the sum of $4,000 are
asked The case is on trial at New
ton, Ia, in the District court of Jas
per county.
Maxwell did not want to come
to the home in October, 1916, but
it is claimed, the son told the sheriff
OF Jasper county to take his father
to the home. This the sheriff did,
and in handouts. Commandant B.
C. Whitehill refused TO receive the
man as member against his wishes,
and Maxwell declared he was being
forced to come.
The sheriff had mo warrant for
MaXwell's arrest, but acted solely on
the request Of the son. For the hui
initiation he has suffered Maxwell is
seeking damages.
Maxwell is the owner of an eighty
acre farm, and does not claim to be
in need of care by the state, al
though for a short time, early in
1916, he was member Of the home
for a month at his own request.

Retired Farmers Should Produce.


Every retired farmer IL Osage-or
any other town for that matter
should produce something this year.
Retired farmers as a class are the
most skillful producers we have.
They have demonstrated their skill,
for instance, il being able to be re-
tired. They have produced enough
to earn them competence. This
skill should not be allowed to go to
waste this year. Many retired far
mers work on farms every year any
way. Some have farms Of their own,
occupied by sons or tenants, AID
they spend most of their time of
summers I'M the fields. Those who
have disposed of their farms sould
take measures to get hold of a little
piece of land near town, or little
further out if necessary, and see
how much they can produce this
year. Usage has enough retired far
mers to easily support all the soldi-
ers Mitchell county sent out.-Osage
