tive September and wheatless days

tinued on that date.
Under an international bread pol
icy formulated by the interallied
food council in London, all bread

HOLD YOUR LIBERTY BONDS.

To successfully finance the war 1t
is necessary that owners of Liberty
bonds hold their bonds if possible
Where for any good reason it is nec-
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 as
returning much higher income than
the bonds.
There are various other methods
used and likely to be used, some Of the
gold-brick variety and others less
crude and probably within the limits
Of the law. All 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
other valuable features.
To hold your Liberty loan bonds, If
possible, is patriotic. To consult your
bankers before selling them is wise.

The officer will remain in the i'm
mediate vicinity until such time as it
is certain that the quarantine regula-
tions will be carried out

chester Commercial club, and the sec
retary of the Delaware County Fair
society held meeting in the CONNER
cial club rooms Tuesday evening, to

building, but those interested in the
improvement of the fair ground and
Improvement of the live stock indus
try of the county are making generous
