Old WAR BONDS
SOLD OVER PAR
Civil War Securities Brought
Is Per Get Above Cost

If History repeats itself, Liberty
Bonds will in a very short time AFTER
The peace pact is signed, be wordh, IN
the open market. probably more than
their face value.
This was the record made by gov
eminent bonds ISSUED 1t the time of
the Civil Wal and upon which a much
lower rate of interest was pald than
is allowed Oh Liberty Bones.
In 1861. the first veal Of the civil
War. bonds of the 500 denomination
sold in the market as low as $50 But
within a year they rail- up to slo'.2''
and ten years later they brought
$123.12.
This is practically the history OF
bond issues Of all responsible nations.
They sell low soon after issuance be-
cause many holders of them are fool
ish enough TO throw them into the
hands of spectators when they need
money instead of obtaining loansu upon
them from banks or responsible fnan-
cial houses.
Everybody knows that a first mort
gage is one of the most desirable
forms of securities. The Victory lib
erty Loan is a first mortgage on the
entire United States and is the very
highest form of security in The whole
world.
Holders of Liberty Bonds need not
concern themselves about the market
price of the bonds. That is only the
price for the bonds that are fool:shly
disposed of by unwise investors. The
bond actually is worth its face value
all the time. Those who are quick
to buy them at reduced prices know
their value and don't let 90 of them.
Subscribe and hold! The record
of other war loans Of the United
States indicates that at the el'd OF
the loan term they will be worth a
great deal more than Won paid Tor
them, besides having brought you in
tereSt all of the time.

Psland's Big Rebuilding Sale

While extensive improvements are
going on at Poland's department store
at Union Corner, the management is
conducting a rebuilding sale. Like
the people in our graveyards Poland
is "here to stay" as the extensive inn
provements now under way indicate.
This is no going out of business sale,
Reductions marked in plain figures are
from 10 to 35 per cent. and this con-
cession in prices should attract a null
titude of buyers.
sThe new addition to u store is
necessary to accommodate our many
customers and will give them a day
light store where they a do their
shopping in truly metropolitan style"
The work does not interfere with the

Whence Personal Freedom

Continued from page l
The other can forgive that sin as well
as a priest
st. James SIG says; Confess your
sins one to another and pray for n
another DOuay version.
St. James is good authority for
Churches are named for him.
The sin against another is no body
elSe's business but to those concerned.
If they cannot settle it then go to
Judge Duffy and make your confess
sion. He can forgive sin as we'll as
any other man of flesh and blood and
can take your penace, fine.
If YOU have sinned a greater sin
than Judge Duffy q handle go to the
County Court, and have Judge or Jury
of; twelve to decide. One may say
"Woman where is thy accusers? Go
thy way and sin no more. Go to
Trenton or Colorado" Or if the jury
says you have sinned against another,
the Judge says pay your penance, fine,
on the County roads, or pay money
to the county treasury.
If anyone in this region feels that
he should make a confession to anyone
for his sins of commission or omis-
sion don't forget Judge Duffy who has
had more experience in hearing on
LESSONS than any other man in this
region. He is more entitled to be heard
than any other because of his ex-
p~erienee. He is most deserving of
the fees and the Borough Treasury
should receive the penance, fine.
Judge Duffy is Borough Recorder.
If Judge Duffy is not at hand the next
best experienced man is Squire Nc
Adams. Always think of them when
you feel the need Of confession.
Personal Freedom
Professionalism gives personal free
dom OF the individual conscience.
That is what democracy and liberty
means. That is what American free
dom is built upon. That is what we
mean when we recall Runnvmead and
the Battle of the Boyne. That is
what we mean when we sing
America
My country it's of thee
Sweet land Of Liberty
Of thee we sing.
Land where our fathers died
Land of the Pilgrims pride
From every mountain side
Let freedom ring.
Get histories and encyclopedias and
read up on all these names and sub
jects mentioned. Learn for yourself

OIL is SEAT OF TROUBLE.
Mexican Suooly is at Basis of lnterna-
tionaI Situation.

rCorrespondence' of Associated Press.l
Mexico city, Aug. 25-The vast Pc
troleum deposits in Mexico. veritable
rivers of gold to their owners. have
within the past few, years attracted the
attention of the world; first. because
their exhaustless supplies filled de-
mafld in the commercial world which
was emphasized during the war, and
secondly, because of late they have
formed one of the most fruitful sourc-
es of misunderstanding between the
governments Of Mexico and the United
States.
The development of this industry by
foreign capital has reached the point
where dividends are declared in mil
lions of dollars and production runs
into millions of barrels.
Legislation designed by the Next
can government to divert what it
terms it's just share of profit into the
national treasury has been met by
charges of confiscation on the part of
the foreign interests whose opposition
has become so vigorous that President
Carranza recently stated in an inter-
view that the petroleum companies
were deliberately engendering feel
ing between the United States and
| Mexico.
Exploitation of petroleum in Mexico
| for commercial purposes is confined to
the past eighteen years, according to
a statement recently furnished to The
Associated Press by the Department OF
Commerce and Industry.
Exploration of the oil fields began
about 1900 and has been conducted
since by the Mexican Petroleum Com.
pany Of California, the British firm
OF PEARSON & Son, the Huasteca Pc
troleum Company the East Oil Com
pany, the Oil Company of Tepetate
and others.
Vessels now available to convey
| Mexican oil have approximately 70O,-
QUO tons capacity and are worth $780,
10000 In addition 1t Is stated that
the value of pipe lines is estimated al
S5OOOOo0o and storage deposits a,
S60,00o00O;. bringing the total of such
| investment to $2O0,OO0,O00. The pipe
line system is $50 miles long and the
steel tanks for the storage of oil have
capacity of 100000 barrels.
Commenting upon these figures the
statement says that "the Mexican oil
industry has not yet. equalled the
American because Of the lack Of means
OF transportation and Of storing which
are not equal to the production of the
Oil lands" 1t is asserted that the po-
tential production Of the fields is nine
fold greater than that registered at the
present time

GOATS SUPPlANT cows. &,
Czechs Resort to Goats Milk, as Cows
Are Scarce.

Correspondence Associated Press.l
Prague, Aug. 10.-The goat is
taking the place of the COW as milk
provider in Czecho- Slovakia. The
armies which battled in Eastern Eu-
rope stripped this land of its horses
and four terrible years of war almost
oXterminated its cattle. Everywhere is
felt the lack of fats, even in regions
which formerly produced enormous
quantities of dairy products.
Formerly only the very poor resorted
to the goat as a source of milk. but
now these animals are seen every
where herded singly and in flocks by
children and old persons. They are
cheap, mature and reproduce quickly
and furnish nutritious milk.
The absence of horses and oxen is
evident everywhere. The harvest is
on as this is being written and in the
fields the men and women are gather
ing grain and dragging wagons. AL
though this section was untouched by
actual battle the absence Of live stock
in the fields and pastures and the
smokeless stacks of hundreds of fac
tories show the blighting effects of the
great war.
