SELLING BONDS
Iagerness to Unload Alarms the Ber-
- lin Government

Basic, Switzerland, Oct. 10-There
ire persistent rumors among the
working classes in Germany, accord
ing to advices received here, that Ger
nany's imperial bonds may become
valueless.
The rumors have their basis in the
epeated entente victories. The peo-
pie of numerous towns are said to be
unloading their war loans at extra
ordinary low prices and panic seems
imminent. The German newspapers
are publishing long appeals in endea-
7ors to tranquilize public feeling. 1t
is recommended above all other me-
shods that persons who desire to sell
government bonds do so through
banks which are ready always to adj
vance cash upon bonds in the usual
way. The public is further advised
to remember that the German empire
guarantees the loans.
Peasants and small business peo
pie, says the appeal, should be the
last to dispose Of their bonds, because
1t the moment of rehabilitation they
will be able to buy useful articles Of
all sorts. When that time comes
buyers paying with national bond
will be given preference.
The document on which the ap-
peals are based calls upon the Ger
mans to show their patriotism anC
also their opposition to the propaga
;ior of rumors about war bonds
which are causing great injury to thc
| empire.

The Opera House in Hartford was
crowded to capacity last Tuesday for
the county War Board meeting.
Every township in the county was
represented except Keller. This does
not indicate any lack of interest
among Keeler folks, for they always
"Go Over the Top" and will this time.
Hon. T. j. Fletcher of st. Joseph
made rousing speech and the Hart
ford chorus furnished music. Plans
were talked over for the raising of
the $4,000 war fund, and every
thing is in readiness for the drive
which starts next Monday. The
various township members of. the
War Board have charge of the drive
in their respective jurisdictions and
will work it out in their own way.
For instance the committee in the
city Of South Haven are calling for
140 volunteers, seventy women and
seventy men to assist in the work.
1t is mighty important work, and the
need is great. Everybody must give.
One good feature of this drive is the
fact that the $4,000 fund will take
care of all the war activity needs for
the period of one year. Following is
the apportionment made by the War
Board and the quota which must be
raised in each precinct:-Almena,
$2200,00; Antwerp, $53o0.00; Airing
ton, 100000; Bangor, $5800.00;
Bloomingdale, $4700.00; Columbia,
$2500.00; Covert, $2900.00; Decatur,
$5000.00; Geneva, $2900.00; Hamil-
ton, $2900.00; Hartford, $6500.00;
Keller, S350000; Lawrence, S4400.00;
Paw Paw, 100000; Porter, $4,000;
Pine Grove, $4,000; Waverly,
$4,000; South Haven Township,
$4,000; So. Haven City, $10000.00.
