There seems "a he a mania sweep

of Liberty bonds. WOrkmen i'm the
striking industries are rapidly dispos-

the strike. Bankers report that many
merchants are selling their bonds.
One bank tells of handling over $780,
600 worth OF bonds from two or three
stores. 1t is 10 be hoped that this
mania will not spread into the rural
districts, says Indiana Farmers Guide.
Liberty bonds are good and safe

have an Uncle Sam, they will remain
SO.

as many came from cities with mil

towns with less than 5000 people
Fifty-One came from towns under 100,-

breaking even. If this analysis proves
anything. IL shows that the man has
much more 10 do with getting there"
than the town he came from. which.

SeTuers Of Wrifs IN Ireland
Held Up, Robbed of Writs
(By Associated PMssL)


DUBLIN, Oct. 26.-Writ servers,
never popular in Ireland, and who in
times Of excitement had rotten to eat
their writs, now have been so intimi-
dated that they do not dare attempt
even to serve their documents. In
some cases where they took the risk
they have been held up by armed men
who took his writs from him.
Most Of the writs are issued by the
Irish Land Commission claiming ar
rears of the annuities of.the purchase
money advanced by the government
to tenants to enable them to buy their
holdings.
New rules have been drafted to
meet the emergency and it has been
provided that 1t shall notbe necessary
to serve a writ. 1t will be sufficient
to mail it by registered letter and adj
vertise it in the local papers. The
mere fact of mailing is enough, so
that nothing will be gained by holding
up the mail carrier.
