BAXTER SPRINGS, TOO

An article following is taken from

to Baxter Springs more than it does
to Miami. It is well written and ex-
presses the sentiments that everybody
here ought to feel:
With sound business judgment on
the part of the citizenship of Miami,
which she has always shown; with
care and prudence in the matter Of
rentals and the elimination Of possible
rent prOfteering; with a real electric
line to the various towns of the min
ing district instead of Micawberlike
putoffs as was the case before the
war, Miami will come into her own;
come into what she was really entitled
to three or four years ago. Prices Of
property should be held as reasonable
as possible SO that hundreds of homes
can be built for the people who have
desired and will continue to desire to
live in Miami. The streets can now

DON'T SELL YOUR BONDS
Some People Are Being Taken Ad'
vantage of in Selling Their
Liberty Bonds Cheap

1t is unnecessary of any person tc
sell Liberty Bonds for less than the
market price, according to a state.
ment issued today by the Baxter
Springs Council of Defense. "The
market price in New York, at the
present time, is 971sc on the dollar
and this price can be secured for any
holder of Liberty Bonds who desires
to sell if he will but take the matter
up with his bank here" says this
statement.
"0nly recently local Liberty Bond
holder desired to sell. He left his
bonds with his banker, who sent them
to New York City with instructions to
sell them on the open market. They
brought &c net for the Baxter man.
Bonds have since risen some in value
and are now worth 971sc. Recently
there have been numerous advertise
ments by people who desire to pur-
chase Liberty bonds. These bonds can
be secured direct from any bank here,
and if they are bought from an in
dividual they should bring 971sc at
the present time. They are advancing
in price and it is believed they will go
above par.
"The local Council of Defense has
been requested by the National Gov
elnment to discourage persons selling
their bonds at all, and if they must
sell them not to take less than the
market price. Any banker can tell,
any day, what the market price is.
There are persons who are making a
business of commercializing these
bonds, even to the extent of making
from 10 to 90 per cent on them, and
in some instances more. The govern
ment seeks to protect Liberty Bond
holders from such sales. If you have
bonds that must be sold, ask your
banker what the market value is"
