In consequence of the issue of the
Third Liberty loan, commonly term
&c ~. S. Az Gold Bonds of 1913"
l.olders of the above mentioned bonds
will, under certain conditions, be en-
titled to convert all or any part of
their bonds into bonds bearing in
terest at the rate of Az per cent per
annum.
The terms of the Az bonds issued
cn such conversions will be identical
with the terms of the bonds of the
Third Liberty loan, except that they
will have the same dates for the pay
ment of interest, the same dates of
maturity of principal and the same
terms of redemption as the bonds
upon the conversion from which they
have been respectively issued.
The treasury department has an

leans on the Marne and on the Pic
ardy fronts have also given the Ger
mans no rest from patrol incursions.
1t is believed in Paris and London
that not many days will elapse before
the Germans begin a new assault.
Opinion is divided as to the point
against which the blow will be struck.
Paris believing that the Germans will
continue their thrust toward Paris,
either by continuation of the fight
ing west of the Disc, or new as
sault farther south toward the Marne,
London, however, believes that tha
German drives along the Aisne and
east of Montdidier were for the pur-
pose of drawing the allied reserves
TO those theatres of the war and then
hurling the decisive blow either at
Amiens or against the Flanders sal
lent, in the hope Of reaching the
channel ports.

City Pays Tribute
To Soldier Dead

After and unexplalnable delay of
several days the body of Private Wal
ter Ray Davis, who died at Camp
Lewis last Tuesday morning, arrived
in Ashland Saturday morning. I'm
mediately on the arrival of the body
arrangements were made to hold a
military funeral in honor of the
young man who had lost his life
while in the service of his country,
and these services took place from
the armory at $3.50 o'clock Sunday
afternoon.
Rev. C. E. Edwards, pastor of the
Methodist church, delivered the fun
eral address, which was patriotic and
impressive and calculated to instill
into the minds of the hearers the
wonderful lesson to be derived from
tine life that was given in defense Of
the country.
Mayor Lamkin also made fitting
address. A large concourse of peo-
PIE gathered at the armory to pay
a last tribute of respect to the third
Ashland boy whose life has been sac
rificed on the altar of duty, and to
offer tears of sympathy with those of
the family who gave their boy to de-
lend their home.
Beautiful floral offerings were
placed on the bier of the dead sold
ier, among which were shield of
red, white and blue, and an anchor
from the brigade Of which the de-
ceased was a member
The casket bearers were members
of the Ashland state militia, and in
terment was made in Mountain View
cemetery. The heartfelt sympathy
of the entire community go out to
this grief-strcken family and particu-
larly to the young wife, whose sorrow
caused an illness which has detained
her in hospital when called to the
bedside Of her dying husband.

1t is both interesting and instructive
to pause and consider what au impor-
tant part the element of Time plays in
the affairs Of this world. And the
Tides, too. "Time and Tide wait for
no man" is a saying as old as the hills.
The years are gliding swiftly by,
The moments come and go;
ATis but a span from Summers sun
To Winters drifts of snow.
Fen yesterday the flowers bloomed
Today they're cold and still;
The change of Time is speeding on,
Regardless of our will.
Thus unused the JOURNAL reporter
and Edwin Forrest Cocker, as they
stood conformity looking up into b
open face. of the precious city clock, at
the Commissioners meeting yesterday
afternoon, December 9Th, 1918, In the
legislative chamber of the public hall
of the seven million dollar City OF
Wildwood. "Tick-tock; Textbook, that
is what it says,'" said the reporter to
Mr.. Cocker, who smiled; and then
turning his eyes on President Wilson's
frameleas portrait hard by, the visitor
spoke of the tremendous ovation given
to the nations chief executive on the
eve of his departure for continental
Europe. 1t was Mayor Smith who
suggested having this portrait framed
sometime ago aid to which PROPOSE
too Finance Commissioner Ryan
strenuously objected on the broad gen.
aral ground that portraits of dlstin-
guished personages hanging in public
,halls did not appeal to him. When
criticism of Mr.. Ryan's attitude atthat
time in regard to the framing OF this
picture of Mr.. Wilson became acute
Mr.. Ryan said he didn't care; and IN
defense of the position thus taken the
finance commissioner boosted that ne
could show an ancestry as good as Mr..
Wilson's and extending just as far back.
In other words Mr.. Ryan meant to tell
us that he was just as good as MI.
Wilson is and just as hIgh-born. And
no one openly disputed the statement
at the time, no one threatened to tear
gu his department store because of the
opinions he held. If he were happy
in go thinking and feeling, all seemed
satisfied to let Mr.. Ryan "pursue the
even tenor of his way" in peace. MI.
Cocker told the Mayor at yesterdays
meeting that this was the first time
the former had beer to a Commission
ers' meeting since this form OF govern
ment was instituted in Wildwood In
1912. Mr.. Cocker sat the whole session
through yesterday and at the close re-
marked that s'the meeting was rather
tame.n Having read about the excl
ting episodes of the previous meeting
this spectator may have expected a
repetition of those stirring scenes, or
maybe he anticipated some added
trough house" business. Be that as 1t
may, the session was short and unsen-
-sational. The prevailing harmony was
60 thick in fact that You could have
.sscut, it with q knife" Col. Cocker
whispered the word 'doleful" into the
reporters ear, offering that sombre ad-
jective' as most appropriate to use In
this weeks reference to the salutary
clock, to describe the proceedings OF
yesterday. The only ripple of merri-
ment occurred at the close OF the ses-
Sion, when Commissioner Ryan van
ted to know how much be owed the
JOURNAL for advertising his egg busi-
ness? The inference is that the noto-

merous predecessors, the amount Of
this latest note is modest indeed, and
not apt to unduly shock the SUPER
sensitive p~ocketbook nerves Of Wild
wood taxpayers. An eminent minis
ter in criticising Billy Sundays meth
DDS, said that this whirlwind evange-
list possessed the faculty Of touching
the pocketbook nerve, which the
speaker declared to be the most sensi-
tive nerve In the human body. In view
OF this scientific statement Of fact, the
Commissioners were considerable and
fortunate yesterday, Christmas being
SO close at hand, ia telling their con-
~stituents that 1t was necessary to bor-
row only $6O.82 this trip. While not
endorsing Billy Sundays methods in
their entirety, the preacher-critic Re
ferred to above said be was compelled
to stake off his hat' to any man who
could touch so successfully as Mr..
Sunday had done the pocketbooks of
the persons who 1ocked to see and
hear7 him. There's a kind Of "cold
comfort" however, in the reflection
that Sunday does not exclusively pos
sess the faculty of touching" the
pocketbooksof the people. New Jer-
sey might also lay claim to some off,
cial experts in this line. City Tax
Collector Kay announced at yesterdays
meeting that during the month OF
November SIT. so had been received in
the tax department from persons or
firms having had searches made that
month. The reading of the bills yes
terday by the clerk disclosed one for
SIT. so, Identical in amount with the
total sum received In November as
fees for searches.
In the annual report of Robert j.
Kay, as city treasurer, for the year
ending December 81, 1917, the tax col
lector's search fees for hat year are
shown to have been $117.50, and are
classed In schedule I, on page IA OF
that printed report as revenue"
When asked what proportion of this
revenue from fees the city retained, Mr..
Kay replied: None! l got it ALL"
When further requested to explain why
il these search fees were classed as rev.
u and a city asset, they came TO be
paid to him, as a whole, Mr.. Kay aid
it was in accordance with a resolution
passed in 1917 or prior thereto, convert
ing all search fees, paid in as revenue,
into salary, and made payable to the
collector of taxes. That's what the
JOURNAL couldn't understand-how
search fees could be anything else but
search fees, pure and simple. Mr..
Kay's lucid explanation, however, has
since been demonstrated to US how the
process of transmutation is brought
about. 1t is done by the magical wand
of our alchemistical Wildwood legisla-
tors! If any taxpayer should ask this
foolish question. "When are search fees
not search fees?" the answer must be,
"when they are turned into salary"
1t was only 2.45 when the commits
sioners adjourned yesterday.

be state or local, not nationwide.
