ment wishes the bond holders to know that the Liberty Bonds have a well defined market value. The New York Stock Ex- change makes this price. That is the price that rules in all cen ters, and that fixes the value of the bonds. In all cities there are reputable dealers, who pay the market price. The banks know the ruling prices, and they will gladly give the public the mark ct quotations.
 It is to check this illicit and dishonest dealings in bonds that the Goernment is sending this warning broadcast. The unpa- triotice store that advertises that it will dispose of it's mer- chandise for Liberty Bonds is seeking to undo the lessons of thrift that the Government has sought to instill. The obscure and interruptions dealer, who places his sign on the front of his little shop, where he always conducts some other business, and who quotes no price, but buys for as small a price as he can, and attempts to unload worthless stocks or bonds that promise fabulous returns, are the ones aimed at by the govern mental crusade against these illicit dealers
 Just a little thought should convince the untutOred holder of the bonds that the attempt made to induce him to part with them is an effort to fleece him.
 The dealer could not afford to open up the establishment he IS conducting for purchase of these bonds, he could not pay his clerical help and the cost of advertising, and all of the other expense incident to the conduct of any business unless all of the cost of this is borne by the holder of the bonds. The bonds have an established prirce. The smallest holder can obtain the same price for them as the shark who buys up at small cost

Bill Introduced In Senate and House In Their Behalf--The Church Organization Will
 Also Give Practical Aid.
WILL PROMOTE EoucATIou
The Significant Movement of the Times Is That of the Centenary of the Methodist Episcopal Church South---Will Spend Mil lions Among the Uneducated.

The fact that several thousand sol orders given them from their superiors and that many, many thousands could not sign their own names to their Questionnaires brought to light con dition so serious that two Southern Representatives at Washington are now introducing bills to promote the education of illiterates throughout the length and breadth of America. Sena- tor Hoke Smith, of Georgia, has intro duced a bill in the Senate ''to promote the education of illiterates, of persons unable to understand and use the Eng fish language, and other resident per. sons of foreign birth," land the same measure has been introduced in the House by Hon. William B. Bankhead Of Alabama.
 The introduction of this important bill means a great deal to the South which, because of its negroes and mountain whites, has long borne . reputation for illiteracy out of propor- tion to that of the rest of the coun' try. Just what steps will be immedi. ately taken as the result of the passage of the education of illitsrates bill q Washington cannot be stated at thia time, but, certainly, practical meas ures will bs put into operation for the establishment of schools in both rural districts and cities.
 Other organizations besides that o1 the government ere at work on tho same problem-the establishment ol schools in the heart of tenement dis tricts and rural communities being | matter of first importance with all q them. One of the most significan moyemsnts of the timss in this con nection is that of the Centenary Q the Methodist Episcopal Church South, because that denomination will expend within the next five years ove S3,000,000 among the uneducatst classes in the Southern and Westsrl States. The church is to raise funt of $35, 100000 in an eight-day drive II April, the financial campaign being part of the Centenary Celebration O the denomination. The money is be ing raised with a view to putting thu work of the church on bushes basis. the church considering its dut! to the illiterates here in America to b' among the matters of first importance which 1t should undertake. A surve. has been made and the result of th' campaign will be the apportionment o $s .000, 900 among the various illiterat population ar follows: Mountain DOT ulation, $750. 1000; immigrant. $s00.ooo negroes, $500.000; Indians, $150 900 cotton mill population, $l6o.000; Chris tian literature for all of them. s100. 0.ooe
 With the definite step undertakes at Washington. with one denomination already completing it's plans for fui tbering the work among them, an | with other churches and organization getting ready to join hands in thei behalf. it is more than possible tha the illiterates of the South are in fair way to soon become educated cit zens of the United States.
