YOUR LIBERTY BOND

The United States Government borrowed money from you finance the You hold the Government promise to pay you back This promise is called Lii berty Bond Victory Note. On this Bond is stated the conditions under which the Government borrowed the money from you.
 For instance: If you hold bond of the Third Li- berty Loan it states that April 18th and October 10th of each year until maturity, you will receive interest on the you paid for the Bond Other issues bear other of interest and other maturity dates, ali of which clearly stated on the Bond.
 Now, if you keep your bond until the date when the Government pays you in full for it, do not need to worry f in the meantime the price is low one day or high the You and Uncle Sam living up to your agreement with each Other and neither will lose by it.
 On the other hand, if you sell your Liberty Bond now you will find that the you sell 1t to will not give you dollar for every dollar you paid for it. The price has been brought down because people are offer ing to sell their Bonds If the market is flooded with to-
 atoes you buy them cheap, but if everyone Is clam bring for tomatoes and there few to be had the prlce goes up The is true of Liberty Bonds short sighted people dumping them the market and wise ones buying them
 The best advice than can be given to the owner ot Liberty Bond is this Hold the bond you bought during the war; it IS as safe and sound the United States Government itself.
 Buy as many the present low rate as you can afford If you hold them maturity you are bound to make the difference between what they sell at now and their face value You will also receive good ntelst on your investment.

GEM SMUGGLERS KEEP BUSY
Customs Authorities Ever on the
Watch for Shrewd Would-Be
Evaders of the Law.

1t Is well-known trait of human
nature to have scrupulous regard
for some laws and to have no respect
whatever for others. This is not due
to the fact that the failure to observe
the laws that command respect would
be visited by heavier penalties. but
because some laws are regarded as
natural, while others are considered
artificial.
A law that is newly made, and that
may be repealed tomorrow, for in
stance, is not likely to command the
same general observance as law
that has been accepted among civil
lied peoples for 100 years. All of
which is a mere clearing of the throat
to a few observations on smuggling.
There is considerable smuggling of
diamonds and other gems into the
United States from Europe nowadays.
The fact that more jewels are on the
European market and the advantage
of American exchange have supplied
the smugglers with greater incentives
than before.
In Canada 1t was decided long ago
that the cost of the machinery that
would effectively put an end to the
smuggling Of articles like diamonds.
so easily concealed. would be greater
han the duty collected, and it is on
this account that they enter the Do
lninion duty free In the United States
the other view is held, but it is i'm
possible to say whether the expenses
involved are paid by the amount Of
duty collected.
Recently an attempt was frustrated
TO smuggIe in $4,000 worth of dia-
monds concealed in fountain pens and
tube of tooth paste. The smuggler
was caught, but, of course. he was
caught because the customs authori-
ties had advance information and
knew just where to look for the booty.
In the New York Times the other
day q jeweler recalled some other
schemes that had been employed to
defraud the government. Many Of
them had work ed for long time. but
eventually. he said. the smugglers had
been tripped up. Sometimes their
downfall was due to the fact that they
had accomplices. and sometimes to
mere accidents.
1t is comparatively easy for man
to smuggle in few thousand dollars
worth of diamonds once, If he keeps
them for his own use. 1t is another
matter when a man buys and SNUG
giles for profit and then has to sell
again in the United States before the
transaction is completed. In these
cases several people are likely to be
aware of the matter, and the difficulty
of secrecy is many times increased.

MULES MANY GOOD QUALITIES

Evinced for the Animal by
Southern Farmers.

Preliminary census figures. subject

the United States census bureau.
Data from % counties in Tennessee
and from scattered counties in Ken
lucky, North Carolina, Florida and
Georgia have been received. These
nsures show trend in these states to
decrease horses and increase mules.
Horses in the IS counties in Tennes-
see total 75,490-a loss of 5,OO1 since
l9l0. Mules number S7,672, a gain of
LILA over 1910 figures, making net
gain of 1923 in both horses and
mules. The scattered counties In 9TH

TALLY the same condition in an in
crease of mules, but a decrease in
horses
The figures do not present a direct
comparison, for the 1920 census was
taken in January, and the 1910 census
Ill April, when a good many foals ex-
listed and were enumerated. They do
disclose, however, decrease in horses
owned in the South, which means o
decrease in breeding in that part of
the United States. and they furnish
eloquent testimony of the high re-
gard southern farmers have for mules.
There is good reason for this. The
