BUY LIBERTY BONDS ON
MARKET

Many of the conservative think.
ers of the land are investing in the
various issues of Liberty Bonds at
market prices, believing the general
market status for these securities is
more favorable than heretofore.
They are buying these bonds re-
CARELESS of what predictions have
been made of firming prices, acting
on the principle that there lis moth
ing on the surface at this time to in
dicate there will be any material
recession of values. This support is
calculated to have a stabilizing in
fiuence in the market for Govern
ment securities.
Experts in the investment field
point out that it was only natural
that Liberty Bonds should recede
from their par values for time
that the overwhelming purchases
by the people at large, with conse.
quent reduction of holdings by per.
sons who invested beyond conven.
fence of holding, naturally gave
greater weight to supply than to de,
mand.
That the bulk of "overpurchases
has been cared for is the belief OF
market Students, and the pressure
from promiscuous and widespread
offerings is figured to have its peak
Some Of the Eastern banks report
they have been handling Liberty
Bonds on a large scale with the re-
suit that the purchases have been
measuring up to the offerings-ir
some instances actually exceeding
the offerings. This class of trading
has not, it is said, caused the banks
any inconvenience in the matter OF
funds.

RAILROADS TO BE RETURNED
TO OWNERS MARCH l.

s WASHINGTON, Dec. 29.-Pres-
ident Wilson Wednesday night issued
proclamations returning the rail-
roads and express companies to prl-
waite control March 1.
Failure of Congress to enact re-
medal legislation was given as the
reason for extending by two months
the time originally announced for
relinquishing Government control OF
the railroad properties. In the mes
sage to Congress last May President
Wilson said the roads would be turn
ed back at the end of the calendar
year. ss-E.
mo agreement having been
reached by Congress" Secretary
Joseph P. Tumulty said in announc-
ing the proclamation, cit becomes
necessary in the public interest to
allow q reasonable time to elapse
between the issuing Of the proclama-
ton and the date of its actually TAX
ing effect. The President is adj
vised that the railroad and express
companies are not organized so as to
make it possible for them to receive
and manage their properties if actu-
ally turned over to them December
81"
The Esch-C ummins bill, designed
to meet conditions incident to the
return of the roads now is in confer
ence, with the prospect that an agree
ment on differences between the
House and Senate will be threshed
out before March 1. While one provi-
sion of the bill would order the re-
turn Of the roads at the end of the
calendar month in which the bill is
approved. 1t was not considered to
be probable that an agreement would
be reached quickly enough to return
the roads February 1, or Done month
earlier than ordered by the President.
There are indications of a spirit
ed fight before either House adopts
the others position on anti-strike
clauses of the bill or the question of
continuing the Government guaran-
tee to the roads until they can OBJ
tain increased rates to meet advanced
operating costs. Also, it was said
Tuesday night in congressional quar-
! tiers, because of the Presidents deci-
sion no attempt will be made to rush
through the necessary legislation.
Inasmuch as the stats of the vari-
Gus systems have been retained vir-
tually intact by the Railroad Admin
itration the return of the railroads
to private control will involve legal
and financial, rather than operating,
questions.
These departments of the Rail-
road Administration will remain in
existence with increased personel for
months after the operating officers
have left the Government service.
Swagar Sherley, former Chairman
of the House Appropriations Commit
tee and now Director of Finance for
the Railroad Administration, prob
ably will be the man chosen to wind
up the Governments business in
railroading. .-...-s
Even greater problems confront
the express companies. Consolidated
into one system under Government
operation, the four original corpora
tons are reported to have asked the
Department of Justice whether or
not there would be any violation of
the Sherman antitrust law in their
remaining unit.

Irish Mothers Superstition.

Among the people of the south isle
OF Aran, off the coast of Ireland, there
is an odd belief that ill luck is sure
to follow If mother sews the first gar,
nents for her offspring. The garments
for the little one must come from q
distance, and are the coarsest make
shift possible. The oldest rags are con
sidered TO be the safest as prevent
I've against any sort of evil.

SHOULD BE GUARANTEED

Many physicians believe that any
one who has bad cold should be
completely isolated to prevent other
members of the family and associ-
ates from contracting the disease,
as colds are about as catching as
measles. One thing sure-the soon
er one rids himself Of a cold the less
the danger, and you will look a good
while before you find better medi-
cine than Chamberlains Cough
Remedy to aid you in curing a cold.

CHAMBERLAIN'S TABLETS

These tablets are intended especi-
ally for indigestion and constipa-
ton. They tone up the stomach and
enable it to perform it's functions
naturally. They act gently on the
liver and bowels, thereby restoring
the stomach and bowels to healthy
condition. When you feel dull,
stupid and constipated give them a
trial. You are certain to be pleased
with their effect.
