The decline was helped by drop in

and soundly condemned.

Legion is for America and the up
holding of its laws and institutions
of government. The side of justice
will ever find the American Legion
lined up with ii to a man. The or
ganization is non-political and its
effort will always be for the benefit
of the many rather than for the pow
erful minority.
1t was declared by the members
that the offer of the Legion to oper-
ate in the coal mines was not to set
tie the question as to who was right
or who was wrong. but to relieve, il
possible. the suffering of the poor
who were affected by the shutdown
in the mines.
The noxt regular meeting of the
post will be held In the court house
on Friday the 26th at o'clock. 1t
is expected that every member will
be present to take part in the i'm

COUNTY ASKED To
BUY US. TREAS.
CERTIFICATES

The board OF county commission
ers Is in receipt of letter from the
Federal Reserve bank of S;.n Fran
cisco requesting the county to rur-
chase United States Treasury Saw
ing certificates.
Responsible Americans are urged
to purchase these certificates owing
to the fact that the present fiscal
year will show that the United States
has debt of twenty-six billion dol
lars, chiefly as a resalt of the war.
There will be no more Liberty
loans. but war financing is not at
an end. and is being carried
on partly through the issuance and
sale of Treasury Saving Certificates
in denominations of 800 and ST.
600, and conforming closely to the
character Of Liberty Bonds. These
securities are obligations of the gov
ornment. bearing per cent inter-
est compounded every three months,
and the present 1919 series will ma
ture four y,srs from next January.
They are free from taxation as are
the Liberty loans. and because of
their attraction as an investment.
the government has set q limit Of
$1,000 on the amount which any in
dividual may hold.
The $1,000 certificates may be
purchased in December for $84S,
and the 500 certificates for $3.50.
