A BIT OF FINANCIAL HISTORY

The credit of the United States was
so high and unquestionable that in
1900, two years after the Spanish
War, per cent bonds were offered
at par and oversubscribed. This Is
a financial performance no other ma
tion has ever equaled.
United States per cent bonds in
1888 sold as high as 1870 and in 1901
brought 1879 on the stock market,
The United States has never de-
faulted on any of its bonds. Not one
OF its bondholders has ever lost a cent
of principal or interest except those
who voluntarily have taken losses by
selling their bonds in a period of tenn
porary price depression. One hun
dred cents on the dollar, principal and
interest, has the United States always
paid.
Back of the $25O,$OO,OOO,OOo to
$500, 100000, 1000 of our national re
sources stands the rugged honesty of
America Liberty Loan Bonds are
the stfest security in the world.

is A bond in every farm home in Ohio
The state organization has invested
every penny Of its surplus in Liberty
bonds. Sub-granges should follow its
example.
Nor should we stop there. Every
patron and every farmer should be
reached. For there is not a farmer
in Ohio but can afford to buy at least
one Liberty Bond on the very easy
terms offered. Every one should hold
at least one bond. The farmer was
not heavy purchaser in either of the
earlier drives. There were reasons
justifying this condition then, but there
is no adequate excuse for his failure
to purchase now.

American Strategy TrIumphs over
German Efflolenoy-one Of His
f, Hardest Stunts Was Swimming
River Meuse.

Chlcago.-Pat O'Brlen of Momence,
ILL.,, is back from the fighting front.
In the British flying corps the young
man from Momence is known as Lieut..
Patrick Alva 0'Brlen. He is famous
for several reasons. His real story be-
gan when he made a descent Of nearly
two miles In his airplane after a Ger
man bullet in the face had rendered
him unconscious. The fall cost him a
bump on the head.
He jumped out Of the window Of a
moving train on his way to a German
prison camp, and escaped. Then he
spent 72 days In getting TO Holland, a
distance of 250 miles as the airplane
flies. And the story ends with one Of
the longest interviews with a king on
record-52 minutes by the royal stop
watch.
Many times during those 72 nights Of
travel through Germany, Luxembourg,
and occupied Belgium, American
strategy triumphed over German eff
lclency.
Usually" said Lieutenant O'Brlen,
,"when bunch of fellows get together,
they talk about women. But In our
first prison, in Flanders, we talked
only about escape and food, and got
very little of either. There were eight
officers going to an interior prison
camp, and a guard with a rife for ev-
cry two prisoners.

ward the border. I was in the oppo-
site direction.

BOOSTS WHEAT PRICES
President Announces Guaranteed
Price For 1918 Crop.

President Announces Guaranteed
Price For 1918 Crop.
Washington, Feb 25.-President
Wilson raised the government guar.
anteed price for the 1918 wheat cror
as high as 1928 a bushel in one pri-
mary market and in varying sums in
all other primary markets except
four. The Chicago price was put at
S2.20.
Acting under authority of the food
law, the president thus met the agita
tion in congress for higher prices and
took steps to stimulate production
and prevent holding back the crop
while the agitation was going on. The
prices fixed, the president declared
would assure the producer of a rea
sonable profit.
On the basis of No. 1 northern
spring wheat and its equivalents, the
president fixed the prices as follows:
Chicago. S2.20; Omaha, Sab; Kansas
City, $2,15; st. Louis, 81 18; Mime.
apolis, S2.1T: New York, 1928; Phil
adelphia, $2.27; Baltimore, 1921:
Portland, Ore, $2.O5; Los Angeles,

WORK, SAVE, FIGHT.

These are the three cardinal re
quisites of the present condition OF
world menace. They are the sur
mounting beatitudes Of our chaotic
times. We will ignore them only at
our peril We will shirk them only
at an overwhelming cost. We must do
not only one, but all to win. And win
we must.
To lose this conflict with the kaiser's
hosts; to bend the knee in submission
to the will of the Prussian autocracy;
to accept peace terms dictated by the
war lords Of Germany, would be to
trail in the dust the highest hopes
Of Democracy. It would mark the
Waterloo of Liberty. 1t might spell
the end.
America wants no autocratic dom
ination at this late day. The United
States has led the way in world en-.
Ii onment and the sowing of the
seeds of freedom too long ever to sub
NIT to tyranny. And German victory
would mean that.
So we must work to the utmost in
our respective lines that the normal
production may be maintained and our
material needs may be met fully and
promptly.
We must save, economize, curtail,
that home consumption may be re-
deced and our individual resources be
kept to their normal standard.
For in doing both we will have more
to offer our government directly and
indirectly; through personal sacrifice
and investment in war securities.
And we can trust our boys at the
front to do their share of the fighting;
the spirit of freedom will inspire to
that.
Work, save, fight and WIN.
That's our program.

The Baby Bonds

Phoenix and the community have done very well whenever they have been called upon to assist in the That they will do equally well in the Baby Bond drive now and in the general thrift campaign may be regarded settled in advance There will be really nothing for the gentlemen in charge to do but to get the money together and count it. once the people of this vicinity have been shown that the government needs it. They not asked to give the money; only to loan it and good terms.
 The best saving in the world is the baby bond. We suppose the that the public did not realize that because the treasury department had not first fit to launch widespread adver Using campaign in behalf these diminutive bonds.
 As in the case of the Liberty Bonds the baby bonds and the thrift stamps have behind them the entire resources of the country. As securities they gilt edge and gold all the way through. They have the advantage of steadily increasing in value from the date of purchase regardless of the fuctua tions of the money market this increase being guar anteed by the government.
 They offer field of investment wherein every woman and child excepting actual paupers, have a chance, those who hold out only an occasional silver quarter. They absolutely the most entcing form of saving. If the holder needs and must have money in emergency he always get as muck he has paid

It is almost certain that it will go for another two years Now and in the months the gov. ernment will need every penny that be scraped in order that the soldiers the sailors America may be fed and clothed and armed and otherwise equipped for the winning of the war.
 Why should it be necessary to urge the necessity of doing this small thing to aid in the defeat of the blood drunken nation against which we are so peril opsly arrayed? War stamps may turn the scale and make all peoples forever free. Small considerations before have shaped the eternal destnies of the world These accumulated silver quarters may be he vital difference in shot and shell that shall finally blast autocracy and brute force from it's throne
