WIRELESS PLANNED
To REACH NEW CAMP

Arrangements have been made by
Arthur G. Raycraft to install a wire
less telephone service between Tono-
pah and Arrowhead, according to a
report in the Times. The service will
be installed within the next thirty
days. The charge for messages to
and from Arrowhead will be a mini
mum of fifty cents for fifty words or
less. The Tonopah station is to be
located at Mr.. Raycraft's residence.
Reservation for the Arrowhead sta
ton has been made in an Office build
ing that is to be erected on Captain
Ralph A. Meyers lot.
This wireless service will be a val
liable asset for those interested in
the Arrowhead district. as aside from
the convenience afforded in keeping
the camp of Arrowhead in touch with
the world, it will result in much
economy, particularly of time. The
installation of this wireless plant will
be the first example in the United
States of a mining camp located sev-
e%nty-three miles from the nearest
railroad point being connected with
the main ource of supply at all
times.
Mr.. Raycraft, who has become
heavily interested in properties in the
Arrowhead district. has visited that
section and is much enthused over
the outlook for the mines there.

INVESTORS ACQUIRE
LIBERTY BONDS NOW

The following statement concerning
Liberty and Victory bonds comes
from the war loan organization OF
the Twelfth Federal Reserve district:
Interest on Liberty loans now
amounts to between SO0.000,OO0 and
5000. 600. 900 a year.
The population of the United States
is estimated at something under 110.-
100000 persons.
The United States Treasury, there
fore, is disbursing investment profits
averaging So each to every man, wo-
mar and child in the country.
More than 10000, 900 persons were
listed at the close of the Victory loan
as holders of war bonds, indicating
an average family holding which just
tallies with the above figures-some
5000 worth of Liberty or Victory
bonds. producing an income of So a
year.
Hundreds of thousands of persons
who never saved money before did
SO through the purchase of Liberty
bonds and War Savings stamps. As
oon as the war ended this accumu-
lated money burned their pockets
like the small boys first dollar. They
began to sell their Liberty bonds, a
very few, proportionately, because
they actually needed the money. A
very large proportion sold them. at
a loss of a few dollars, because they
itched to spend the money.
A far too great proportion traded
them for stocks which, in many cases,
will prove a total loss. Others sold
to invest in stocks of the same lack
of worth. Because of the pressure of
sales from these motives, Liberty
bonds have been selling below par,
and persons compelled by circum-
stances to sell have been forced to
accept a loss of money they could i'll
afford. This has been the more re-
grettable because the depreciation in
price was drtlHcldl.
What becomes of the Liberty bonds
sold below par?
The strong boxes of wise investors
are the answer.
The wise investor is absorbing
more and more of them, knowing that
a government security, absolutely loss
proof, and bearing four to four and
three-quarters per cent interest, is a
m~arvelously good investment.
In the meantime the government is
continuing the sale of Wal Savings
stamps, which offer a safe and easy
way to save money. They are always
redeemable at ten days notice, in
case of need. at cost plus interest
earned.
