Germany today, as far as it can be
ascertained from news arriving

summed up as follows
In Prussia the emperor is gone
and socialist government in an un-
determined form is in power. In
Bavaria and Wurttemburg republics
have been proclaimed.
The royal family of Oldenburg
has fled and a revolution is reported.
Frankfort, Cologne, Essen, Muel-
helm, Ex-La Chappelle and Emerich,
as we'll as many other cities are in
the hands of the revolutionaries.

victed had been found by the United

stitutional. No hearing for the pc
tition was held. Federal authori-
ties sent it direct 10 the attorney
general in Washington. who
brought it before the president A
release was granted.
The petition was filed on Satur-
day. Four days later a release was
granted and DR.. Banta was dis
charged from Leavenworth the fol-
lowing day He was one of 20 ply
sicians who sought freedom be-
cause OF the finding of the supreme
court and was the only successful
one among the number, the others
being unable TO prove that they
were being held unJustfy.
Technical Violation.
DR.. Banta was charged with using
government forms for Illegal prac-
tice, a violation of the Harrison act.
Federal Judge Evans in the Peoria
court, in passing the sentence, said
that the violation was not willful
but technical.
Rock Island will again be DR..
Banta's home, he announcing today
that he will resume his practice
here.

SALE WAS GREAT SUCCESS.

The Hereford sale of Aug. John
son at the stock pavilion at the fair
grounds last FRIDAY was decided
success; In fact, buyers who attend
ed series of sales last week state
that the Johnson sale was the most
successful of the sales held.
Owing 10 the influenza epidemic
which has been prevalent in all parts
of the country, the attendance was
not as large as usual. The state
raised the quarantine but few days
before. and many from a distance
were not aware of conditions, how
ever, those who were present were
buyers and some fancy prices were
paid.
None of the bulls were sold. but
there were 81 females in the offer
ing which brought a total of S36,615
or an average of about $3.50.
This was Mr.. Johnson's third sale
and he is<more than pleased with
the result as a whole. He has worked
faithfully and industriously to make
the pure bred business what it
ought TO be. Breeders recognize in
Mr.. Johnson a man who is absolute
ly honest and because of the ex-
plicit confidence they have in him
they are willing to pay good prices
for his Herefords Following is the
list buyerS and nriPeS maid.

HOLD YOUR LIBERTY BONDS.

Next to the imperative duty Of
American citizens to support the Lib
erty loan is their duty to hold their
| Liberty Bonds. 1t is not full service
to the country TO purchase Liberty
Bonds and then throw them upon the
market thus putting upon others the
real burden of financing the war
Unless The necessity for disposing Of
them is very great. every owner of
a Liberty bond should hold fast to it,
Holding onto ones bonds means
that one has not only lent so much
money to his government hut also that
| he is not spending that money for
goods. labor and transportation
needed by the nation in the prose-
cution of the war. and is thus leav-
ing the resources of the country more
freely at the disposal NJ the govern
ment as well as giving it financial
backing. This is double service.
| Secretary Baker says that the wide
distribution of the Liberty Bonds
amongst the mass of the American
| people makes our Liberty loans the
| soundest national financing in his
tory. 1t is good thing for every
Liberty Bond holder to the creditor
| of his or her government. and il is
a good thing for the national for its
ALLEGATIONS to be widely scattered
amongst its citizens and not con-
gested into the hands of the rich.
1t is most hopeful thing for The
United States that the best invest
ment in the world the Liberty Bonds.
are very widely distributed amongst
millions of its citizens.
Judging the future by the past our
government bonds issued during this
war are going to rise greatly in value
with peace. In 1883. per cent
United States bonds sold in the open
market as high as $3.50. and in 1901
brought S139-that is, S139 and
some cents for a 500 bond. That
the Liberty Bonds are going TO rise
well above par in value is something
that the most conservative will admit
is well within the bounds of POSSIBLE
ity.
The shrewd and INSCRIPTIONS. the
birds Of prey in finance, realize the
worth of Liberty Bonds. and are GO
ing TO use every effort TO secure
them from the hands of the owners
of them who are uniformed or who
are ignorant of stock and investment
values The favorite method will
probably be offering stock of wild
cat companies or other speculative
ventures. Speculative is really too
conservative word to apply to some
of these stocks. since to say that they
have speculative value is flattering
in the extreme: they, have no value
at all. except in the hands of I'M
scrupulous people. who trade them
for money or Liberty Bonds to ig-
norant investors.
Some of the get-rich-quick schem-
ers propose not to trade their gold
brick stock for Liberty Bonds but to
lend their clients money to buy their
stock, taking Liberty Bonds as Sc
curity. This is amouflage-only |
thinly disguised method of securing
Liberty Bonds for worthless or near |
worthless stock.
Every holder OF a Liberty Bond be- |
fore he disposes of it, and especially |
before he trades it for stocks or other |
bonds should consult band. Much |
money will be thereby saved to the |
owners of Liberty Bonds and the fl |
nances of the American people be |
better conserved. :.
