HOLD YOUR LIBERTY BONDS
n Absolutely Necessary to Dispose OF
Them, Consult Your Banker.

To successfully finance the war 1t
rs necessary that owners of Liberty
Bonds hold their bonds II possible.
Where for any good reason it is nee
essary for them to turn their bonds
into cash they should seek the advice
Of their bankers.
Liberty Loan bonds are very desir-
able investments, and crafty individ-
uals are using various means to Sc
cure them from owners not familiar
with stock values and like matters.
One method is to offer to exchange
for Liberty Bonds stocks or bonds
of doubtful organizations represented
rs returning a much higher income
than the Bonds.
There are various other methods
used and likely to be used, some OF
she gold-brick variety and others less
crude and probably within the limits
Of the law. ALI offers for Liberty
Bonds, except for money and at mar
ket value, should be scrutinized care
fully. The bonds are the safest OF
Investments and have nontaxable and
ether valuable features.
To hold your Liberty Loan bonds,
n possible, is patriotic. To consult
your bankers before selling them is
wise.

County Demonstration Agent,
IN. d. Query, with some 80 or
! 80 farmers spent part OF. Tues
day at the hog ranch near Aber-
deem. The trip was made by
auto and a stop was made at Mr..
John Schmidt's where a bunch
, of hogs were just finishing.
, These hogs were fed ear corn on
a feed floor under the direction
of Mr.. Query and had already
been sold (but not delivered) to
a local dealer for 18 cents. At
the ranch, where more than a
thousand hogs were seen, all the
! different stages of feeding were
! viewed at short range. 1t was
brought to the attention of those
present that the first thing to
/ Esee after in feeding hogs is
: renovation and after that the
right feeds to make a balanced
ration. 1t was made apparent
to the visitors that hogs can be
fed high priced feed at profit,
:, and this should lead many more
farmers to sell the finished
animals than has heretofore been
: the case.

Chicago Horse, Market.

Chicago. June 2S.-Outside Of the
English army inspection, the horse
market was quiet. There were two or
three private sales, but no auction. For
the past few weeks the trade has been
undergoing an unusual period OF quiet,
caused. it is believed, by the slow east
ern market.
Hardly any relief is expected before
the fall. when the southern trade may
open up. The only chance, traders
point out, to keep the market in good
condition is to keep down the receipts.
Country buyers OF army horses have
been going rather strong and owing to
the strictness of the English inspection
quite few horses have been rejected.
These horses have. been thrown on
the open market with a result that
there are too many and hardly any
buyers. Dull trade is inevitable
Receipts of horses for the first four
days Of this week are estimated at
approximately 2,159 head, compared
with 2,4S1 last week, 1,130 a year ago
and 1908 two years ago. Quotations:

tries essential to the conduct Of the
war. y M
It Is. however. from the extension
Of the draft age downward that the
nation will obtain the vast majority
OF the fighting men needed In addition
to those produced by the draft OF men
from q to 80.
For this reason General Crowder rec
commended the reduction Of the mini
mum draft age to IS.
Won TO Preparedness.
The president was not prepared to
follow General Crowder fully in this
recommendation. He doubted the wis.,
dom Of drafting boys Of 10 and 10 for
immediate military service. He threw
out the suggestion that it might be
preferable to give the younger boys a
period Of training so that when they
should reach the dyaft age only COM
paratively short term of intensive
training would be necessary to fit them
for service on the firing line.
There was also another reason for
the president adopting a more favora-
BILE attitude toward universal service.
He had been more and more impressed
with the fact that this is war Of in,
dustry as well as a war OF shot and
shell. The industries producing the
vast volume OF war equipment must be
manned to the limit. A shortage Of
skilled men in war industries might be
sufficient to cheat the nation Of VIC
tory.
More and more skilled men must be
provided for the industries that are
now being expanded to arm and equip
and provide transportation and main
tenance Of the larger and still larger
armies that will be sent forth from
these shores as the war progresses.
