OF REGISTERED
BONDS

By an official order Of the treasury,
the assignment Of registered bonds
heretofore made only before certain
treasury officials and the officers of
certain courts and Federal reserve and
national banks can now legally be
made before officers Of incorporated
state banks and trust companies.
This will be great relief to many
holders Of registered bonds living in
small towns and cities where there are
no national banks or persons before
whom the assignment could legally be
made.
Heretofore it has not been usual for a
fee to be charged for the assignment of
bonds, and it is presumed that the
newly designated agencies will conform
to the custom and make no charge.

According to the Food Administra-
ton, shortage Of wheat in France is be-
coming more and more alarming each
week. The minister of general revictu-
aling indicated recently that a further
reduction of 20 per cent in the bread
ration would soon become imperative.
Denmark is now looking forward to
reduction Of wheat rations. Final
figures for the cereal harvest show a
total of about 100000 bushels, which
is 20,00O,00O bushels less than in 1916
and about 100000 less than was es-
timated in the summer, when the pop
ulace was put on bread rations. The
authorities are already considering a
further reduction in the allowed con-
sumption.
The food situation in Switzerland is
rapidly falling to the danger line. A.
ration that is far below the consump-
ton in many Of the countries at war
has already been ordered. Under the
new regulations the Swiss may have
only pound and half of sugar per
person per month. The bread ration
has been fixed at about half a~pound q
day, and the butter ration at one-f fth

ID. CARLISLE MAKES: PUBLIC STATEMENT
Political Enemies Behind Charges, Says Constable, and Asks Suspension
 of Judgment

J. D. Carlisle, constable of Precinct 37, has issued a statement in reference to the recommendation of the grand jury for his impeachment. Constable Carlisle states that in his opinion the charges were inspired by political enemies and contends that he has violated no law, and asks the fair-minded public to with hold judgment until the case has been threshed out in court The statement foI- lows:
 v have read the report of the grand jury, in so far as it recommends my inn peachment As is we'll known, the grand jury only hears one side of the story, the accused person not being allowed to summons witnesses or to present any defense. In my opinion the charges against me were inspired by political en- emies, and grow out of the recent con- troyersy resulting from the strict en- forcement of what is known as Sunday blue laws.
 q have in no wise violated the law. and have never done anything unbecom- ing an officer of the law. When the case is tried on the merits, I am abso- lutely confident of being vindicated, and feel sure that all fair-minded citizens will suspend judgment until the question Of any wrong doing on my part has been threshed out.
 T have retained the law firm of Bur gin 6 Jenkins and Weatherly, Deedmeyer & Birch to look after my interest.
