Board here Monday.
The matter of building new

HOLD YOUR LIBERTY BONDS.

The effort to separate Liberty
Bond holders not familiar with stock
and bond values from the Liberty
Bonds has taken a new turn. The
manipulators instead of offering to
buy the bonds at inadequate prices
offer in exchange for them the stocks
and bonds of various wildcat corpora
tions, whose face value is large but
whose actual value is little or moth
ing.
The safest investment in the world
is a Liberty Bond. For a patriotic
American, Liberty Bonds are the best
investment in the world. 1t is not
only wise thing to hold them, but
it is a patriotic thing to do. The
soldier that takes trench and then
voluntarily gives it UP it not to be
compared with one who takes a
trench and holds it against the en-
envy. An American who buys Lib
erty Bond and then sells it is not so
good an American as one who buys a
bond and holds it. This does not ap-
ply, however, to one who sells his
bond because of real necessity; this
is legitimate trading in Liberty Bonds
which the Treasury recognizes.
1t was a wise and patriotic old col
ored American who refused to sell
his $100 Liberty Bond for $96, be-
cause he would not give up the Unit
ed States promise (his bond) to pay
him 500 with interest for the Unit
ed States promise Currency to pay
him sos, and who refused to sell the
same bond for $102, because, he said,
that the $102 must be counterfeit or
else the wou1d-be purchaser would
not be willing to give it for only
800. 1t is safe to say that there
are no gold bricks or wildcat securi-
ties among that Americans assets.

~ AS. To Gasoline Slackers.

We are proud of the hundreds of
automobile. owners here, who refused
: to take their cars out Sunday, ex-
cept for necessary purposes, and
thereby observed the Governments
order to save gasoline in that way.
We saw a few, however, whom we
believe either thoughtlessly or pur-
posely showed contemptuous disre-
gard of the Fuel Administrators re-
quest. These should be held up to
public scorn.
We heard of one particular farmer
in the North Middletown vicinity
who having to make a trip with his
family, hitched up farm wagon and
two mules, and loaded the family in
it, making the trip in safety and
comparative comfort. The family and
the. ''old man" really enjoyed the nov
city of the trip, and the automobile
enjoyed days rest.

SERGT. GALLAGHER AT PLANT
CITY FOR A DAY BRINGING
RELICS FROM FRANCE
(Plant City Courier.)

Sergt. Vernon w. Gallagher came
in Sunday from Camp Wheeler, Ma
con, on furlough which would have
permitted him to remain week with
his parents, Mr.. and Mrs. ]. w. Gal
lagher. at Dover. and his friends in
Plant City, had he not received
message Monday to the effect that ne
had been appointed to the Third Of
ficers' Training Camp, necessitating
him cutting short his visit. He. left
Monday afternoon, but did not know
whether he would be assigned to the
camp at Leon Springs, Texas, or to
Petersburg, Va. 1t is regretted that
he could not remain longer, but all
are glad that he has been appointed
to the training camp for officers.
Sergeant Gallagher is the first
Plant City dan who was ordered d.
rect to France, and had his furlough
not been cut short, friends hero
could have learned much from him
concerning actual conditions on the
western front. He was detailed from
! Company E to accompany a party OF
officers to France, leaving Camp
Wheeler on the perilous voyage Sept.
8. A month was spent in Paris, ana
he had opportunity also to visit the
front, where, as he says, there Is
something going on all the time.
The Sergeant says 1t is a bigger war
than one here would imagine, and
looks like it was laid out to last
some time. He did not have time to
&c into details, or relate such things
as are permitted under our voluntary
form OF war censorship, but brought
a number Of interesting relics here
tofora mentioned in the Courier.
They include pieces of genuine Ger
man fighting equipment. There is a
German helmet which fits well over
the head, protecting everything ex-
cept the lower part of the neck, and
g shield that is worn by the sniper
or German soldier on outpost duty.
