BUYING AT LOW PRICES.

From China, Glass and Lamps.
Our standing advantages OF invest.

Bonds at present prices are being
urged upon the public by bankers of
Chicago. We were told when the bonds
were first issued that they were the
safest and best investment on earth.
That was true-and still is true. al.
though many who paid par for the
now deprecated bonds feel that. they
have been .'stung" and are selling out.
Thereby is caused extravaganza when
thrift was meant. But the bonds re-
main good, just as they were when
issued, and at the present low price.

the First National Bank: United
States government bonds are the
worlds premier security and offer to
investors at the prevailing market

OPTIMISM.

The rocky shore of pessimst and there they stop.
Optimism in humans that is sure to refine the
pure gold of commerce or of conentment or both. Be

His opposite the pessimst is moving Mr.. Gloom, a

As TO PALMER,
HnnIs

HIS country sick and tired of the activities of its
attorney general, A, Mitchell Palmer. However
much Of hero he may be to AndSaoon League leaders
the Chicago packers directors of the Southern Pacific
railroad. ct al. the people have had enough of him.
Palmer went into office making promises right and left
Hewould reduce the cost of living He would Jail the
profteers! He would fix the red menace all right all
right And the country waited for these things to happen
We have been waiting for months
Here is short summary of what Palmer has done, and
failed TO do:
1. He has not jailed any profteers In
stead he has compromised with the packing
trust, in a. manner very satisfactory to the
packers It is doubtful If Swift or Armour
himself acting in Pamer's place, could have
suited them better
=. He has failed to prosecute the famous
OIL land cases against the Southern Pacific
that his predecessor Gregory, had well under
3. By wholesale raids that have netted far
more innocent people than they have real sedi-
donists or anarchists; by making martyrs
