Buying With Liberty Bonds.

Secretary McAdOo asks merchants
to discontinue taking Liberty bonds
for goods, and points out that this
practice defeats one of the important
ends the l. berty loans should serve,
These bonds are locked to by the Gov
ernment quite as much for the con-
servation Of labor and material as
for the supplying of money to the
Treasury.
The money yon lend to the Govern
m mt is helpful only so. far as it en-
ahles the Government TO buy things.
and employ labor. If you use the
bond to buy goods you do not save
your money, you spend il; and having
spent it yourself you have prevented
the Government from having $50 or
500 worth Of material and labor
employed in making the object you
bought. Moreover, the merchant gen.
orally has to sell these bonds imme-
diately and large sales that must be
made Immediately depress the prices
of the bonds.
The market price Of a Liberty bond
is not to be confused with the bonds
value. The bond is the promise of
the United States to pay such and
such an amount in 1912 or le4z with
interest meanwhile. That is all the
Government undertakes to do. If the
holder of bond sells it before the
date set or before it is called for re.
demption he cannot ordinarily expect
to get the full face value of the bond
He will usally have to pay slight
discount for this privilege. of exchang
ing the bond 70. cash when it suits
his convenience
The discount, or market price OF
the bond below the face value, will
tend always to remain reasonable SO
long as holders of bonds sell them
only when it is absolutely necessary.
If you have bond aud need money
it is always better to borrow on the
bond than to Sell it-Naw York Sun.

shows further how to feed and care for
the pigs. how to protect them from the
inelemeney of winter and the heat Of

The first pig club was organized IN
Louisiana ia 1910 Now approximate
$4,000 members are enrolled in the
pig clubs throughout the country.

CT towns in the state there had been a compliance with the request of the administration for a reduction of prices Mr. Hughes said that that might be true Bisbee and various other towns situated close to the ranges might easily afford to sell meat cheaper than it could be sold in this market. The stock is close at hand and it is cheaper by reason of lack of competition. The shops of Phoenix could not compete with local butch CTS and bring it here to be kept in cor ra1s awaiting slaughter. Beside, they could not butcher that kind of stock and keep the meat in refrigeration, for the reason that it does not hold up. In other words, it is inferior to the kinds of meat handled by the shops of the company.
 Further, said MT. Hughes. the only way the local butchers could reduce tfAprice of meat would be first to re- dues the price they pay for cattle, and that would l,ot be just to the farmers who are not now receiving more than their due ''If we were disposed to do that" said Mir. Hughes. i've could not for We would then run against comp1- tive buyers from the coast or Los An geles."
 Some resentment was expressed al the statement that the wholesale meat company daily furnished its shops prices "Of course,' said MT Hughes, i've do that because the shops are a part of the business. Any con cern must apprise it's branches of the prices of its commodities" 'I wish" said he, that we could sell meat five cents cheaper; if we could do so and did not, we ought all to be in the penitentiary.'
