Macduf, applicants for privileges
such as grazing permits, free use
permits, timber sales, ETC., inside
the national forest, who have failed
to support their government by pur-
chasing a reasonable amount OF Lii
berty bonds will not receive as much
consideration as those who have pur-
chased bonds. Other things being
equal the man who has purchased a
reasonable amount OF Liberty bonds
will receive consideration In secur-

the man who is able and unwilling to
purchase Liberty bonds. "If man
won't support his government, he
has no right to expect especial con-

New Ycrk, July 6.-Opening with an uncertain tone, today's curtailed ses- sion of the stock market soon evinced firmer tendencies in a few instances developing marked strength.
 Steels of the so-c9lled independent group, notably Crucible Sloss- Sheffield and Superior; oils. particularly MeXi- can Petroleum; and Marine preferred, and minor issues all retained the greater part of their one to two point advances.
 Low priced coalers also shared in the irregular movement, Reading second preferred. Chesapeake and Ohio, and Pittsburgh and West Virginia averag- ing one point gains, hut standard rails kept within fractional limits, showing virtually no change at the end.
 [. s. Steel made a fractional ad- vance to it's best quotation of the week, but closed at a slight loss. Met als sluggishiy and numerous other speculative favorites received scant at tention. Sales amounted to 190,0OO shares.
 The bank statement was interesting for it's decided reversal from the pre- vious weeks favorable exhibit. Ex- cess reserves showed an actual de- crease of S145 800, 900, which more than offset the huge gain reported at the end of the fiscal year: and decrease of $156, 900 900 in reserves of clearing house members held by the federal re- serve bank erceeded by about 27,000,- 900 the recent gain in that item.

Sunday afternoon in one of the cleanest and fastest games of the year the All Norwich team lost to the team from the U. s. $. Chicago by the score of to 5. While the game at no time degenerated into swatfest still there was none of the tiresome monot- ony of scoreless inning after inning. The combined efforts of the pitchers only struck out nine men and only nine drew free passes. Seventeen safe clouts were registered, eleven off Far rell and six off Ben Houlihan. the Nor Wich Town player who recently went into the service. The fielding was the best seen on the local grounds this year, only five errors being made and all these on hard balls. Callahan in right field made a wonderful catch of a hard fly off Barker's bat. In the same inning he also robbed Houlihan of what looked like a sure hit. Coll of the sailor team also made a pretty running catch.
 The play was fast and both teams played good clean ball. Barker was forced to retire from the game in the eighth inning after he slipped on the stone at first base. He was replaced by Stoddard who easily disposed of the one fly that came in his direction. With the exception of the fourth in ming Jimmy" Farrell kept the sailors hits well scattered, while the locals punched hits off Houlihan in the first and took advantage of errors in the seventh to put across their tallies. The game only lasted an hour and a half and was a fine exhibition of the good sportsmanlille conduct of the men who are in the service to make the world safe for democracy. The crowd was fairly large and went away well sat isfied for it was all anyone could have asked in the way Of a ball game save that some of the more critical ones might have wishes to see the home

Lebanon 10, Yantic 5.

Lebanon brought hard hitting team to Yantic Saturday afternoon and de- feated the Yantic nine 10 to 5. The game was close and interesting until the eight inning when the visitors scored four runs. Yantic was unable to do much with Hoxie's twirling, but made every hit count and excelled at base running; Leonard and Bentley being the stars in this department of the game. While Lebanon piled up a total of fourteen hits they were well scattered, several of their runs being made on errors. The features of the game were, a running catch by Leon ard. of what looked like safe hit and the batting of the Lebanon team. The game was played in sportsman like manner and there were no disputes over decisions, which speaks we'll for the umpire J. Troland. On next Sat urday Yantic will play return game with Lebanon. The score:
