doubt it, for his actions show he does.
1 believe that I love him, but I
don't know. and don't want TO marry
him because 1 am afraid that when
I get older I will meet someone else
who will mean more to me than he
does.
He is coming to see me when he
gets his discharge and suppose he will

THE BOND PUZZLE.

A subscriber sends in the following
regarding the Liberty bond market
quotations, and seeks an explanations:
IT can find only five separate bond
issues. but nine are given. What is
meant by first As and second AS, etc.
and what makes the difference in the
prices? What are ictory 3%'s-
s1oo.14. and why are they above
4%'s?"
There have been but five issues of
Liberty bonds. but the last or Victory
loan included two denominations-
8%'s and ANS. This accounts for
one of the four apparent remaining
issues.
The first. second and third loans
were made convertible into Il s. This
accounts for the other three. Thus
II appears from the quotations that
there were nine issues when in fact
there were but five.
Victory 8 y sell in the market at a
higher figure than the AZ because
they are not subject to the income tax
while the ANS are so taxed when in
dividual holdings pass stated
amount. They also can be exchanged
for the AXIS whenever the holder de-
sires to do so.
From the beginning it has been the
plan of the treasury to arrange the
terms of the various loans in such a
way as to keep the bonds in the hands

In this country all power rests with
the people and united they will pre-
vail. Universal disapproval of Post
master General Burleson has caused
him to offer his resignation. Of
course the president will accept it.
Burleson viii retire from office with
out the record OF a single creditable
act Even hts resignation has been
forced. He yields his place for the
good of the party he declares. This
Is in accordance with his whole Of
fetal course which has been entirely
devoid OF consideration for the pub
lie. His attitude. from his entrance
into office has bsRn that of the Van
derblt OF former days. His assertion
that the newspapers opposed him on
account of the zone postal rate will
not deceive anybody. The record he
has made in handling the postal, and
wire service has been such that no
self-respecting newspaper, not blinded
by partisanship could keep silent.
There are a thousand reasons why
Burleson should go and not one why
he should remain in the cabinet.
