Your Liberty Bonds
Are Good AS Gold

Because some holders have been OBJ
liged by necessity of obtaining ready
money to sell their Liberty Bonds at
sacrifice; and because at this time
of initiation of credits, Liberty Bonds
are quoted below par, on their face
value.
Don't imagine that the Liberty
Bonds you own are worth any less
than you paid for them.
The Liberty Bnods you purchased in
the first, second, third or fourth
drives, or their younger brothers, the
short-term notes you will be asked to
buy in the Victory Liberty Loan cam
paign, are the best and safest secur-
tiles into which you can put your
money.
They are the promise of the United
States of America to pay dollar for
dollar at date of maturity, with inter-
est paid in cash every six months
and you should
Remember that this Government
has never defaulted on dollar of its
indebtedness, neither principal or in
terest.
The right thing for you to do is to
hold your Liberty Bonds as an in
vestment and collect on the interest
coupon semi-annually. Don't get
fused" over the talk of some
smooth-tongued sharper and let him
trade you stock in some doubtful en-
terprise for your Liberty Bonds. If
misfortune overtakes you and you
must have money, there are reputable
dealers in most all communities who
will pay you the highest market price
for your Liberty Bonds, less small
commission.
Remember also that the dollars you
paid for your Liberty oBnds in time
of war were worth in purchasing
power but little more than one-half
the peace-time dollar in purchasing
power.
After a while-and it won't be sc
very long, either-there will be a
stabilization of things in this country
and with the purchasing power of the
f, good old American dollar increased
| you will then realize what fine in
| vestment you made when you purch.
ased Liberty Bonds to help win the
war. Then how glad you will be te
know that you held on to your Liber
ty Bonds. Meanwhile,

of America is going to redeem your

PLENARY SESSION
MEETS IN PARIS
Will Be Presented At a
Public Meeting In
Paris Today.
International Situation BY the Asso-
ciated Press


ciated Press
What promises will be perhaps the
eventual week of the Paris peace con-
ference, opens today with the plen-
ary session that will decide the final
action on the covenant Of the leagca
Of nations. In prospect. the feeling
is prevalent that the Paris peace
treaty will be ready for presentation
to the German delegates Saturday,
before which time, the Italian situa-
ton may resolve it-elf.
The most important matter still to
be settled in correction with the
treaty, is the problem composing the
Jararese-C Chinese claims to the K:ao
Chu Shantung peninsula.
The condition in Italy is being
watched with some concern. 1t is re-
ported council of the ministers was
held Saturday by Premier Orlando,
but what action that was taken at
the meeting has not been made known.
A revised draft of the covenant of
the league of nations was presented at
p public meeting of the peace confer
ence today. This draft was made pub
lie last night and differs in some inn
portant respects from the draft pre-
viously published.
Germany, with the exception of Ba-
varia and Silesis, seems to be quicter.
A general strike Is reported in the
coal district in upper Silesia. The
Russian Bolsheviki suffered import
ant reverses on the eastern front and
Kolschaks forces seem to be making
important gains.

BLIND MAN POULTRY FANcIER
Missourian Has Made Success Of the
Work, Despite Handicap Wrich
Would Seem lnsurmountable.

Blind Edward Jones Of Jefferson
City, Mo-, has made record in keep
Ing poultry which many who have
eyes have not eQualed. Moving among
his birds, which seem to understand
how he is handicapped, and guided
only by his sense of touch, he per-
forms his daily work. He has built
his own poultry house and brood
coops, and has Matched and raised all
his chicks. Blindness does not pre-
vent him from culling his flock. The
birds not intended to be kept are mar
keted as broilers, and the others are
kept for the production of winter
eggs.
Mr.. Jones attended every poultry
meeting held in his section last fall.
He is now trying to organize poultry
club for blind people, and the home
demonstration agent in the county
has volunteered to read to the mem
beers the publications on poultry sent
from the United States department of
agriculture.
