CONFESSIONS OF A BRIDE.

Copyright. 1920, by the n. 2. Az

Daddy Lorimer sat stiffy in a COR
ner of the auto. For the first time in
his strenuous life he found himself
unable to cope with circumstances but
from his defiant attitude could see
that his spirit had not been broken
by the misfortunes Of the week. His
trials had been extreme: First / had
disappeared in most unaccountab!e
way; Chrys had dropped out OF sight
just as mysteriously; then Bob had
vanished!
Daddy had been forced to accept a
single explanation for all of the cases
and 1t was plausible one. His
children had been kidnapped by Mex
lean outlaws, revolutionary gang Of
war with the Mexican government ana
having no connection whatever with
the inhabitants of the hacienda! That
was the lie he had been told. He had
no idea that the man whose guest he
was, his former business partner and
best FRIEND. was actually at the bot
tom OF the plot. Certeis might con
spire to upset nations but he would
never harm his friend. So Daddy
Lorimer believed.
Kidnapping, however, was the fash
ion of the day in Mexico. Naturally
the Hon. James D. Lorimer might
conclude that he himself was IN
danger of being carried off with a
price on his head. 1t was so like him
to remain on the ground. 1t was like
him to defy all Mexico, those in au-
thority as well as the 81 varities of
political power outside Of the govern
ment. 1t. was like him to remain
where his dear ones had disappeared,

CLEVELAND TRACTORS

Within the next few days, Don Cop
pin will receive a shipment of the
small farm tractors known as the Gle
track, manufactured by the Cleve-
and Tractor Co. This tractor which
is built on the caterpillar plan is very
small and compact and will no doubt
meet with the approval of farmers
desiring machine for all-round
farm purposes. The Cletrack is built
for durability and knock about work
and although small, will handle an u.s.

and business men and farmers are
looking forward with interest tc the
keen competition which is very like
ly to result between this tractor and

GOVERNMENT BONDS
DO NOT DEPRECIATE
Fact That Their Market Value is
Below Par Does Not Affect
Their Maturity Value.

San Francisco, Cal.-"Daily quota
tions on Liberty Bonds which at pres
ent show them at below par, have no.
thing to do with the maturity value ~
the bonds and are of no interest 70
the ordinary bond holder" Governor
John U. Calkins of the San Francisco
Federal Reserve Bank declared here
today. "The United States Govern
ment will redeem every Liberty Bond
at its maturity date at face value plus
accrued interest"
The reason for the decline in the
price of the Government securities is
that spectators, anxious to win high
err returns on riskier investments have
thrown their Liberty Bonds on the
market, while subscribers who in some
cases have found difficulty in complet-
ing payments, have let go large blocks
of the bonds. The daily quotations on
Liberty Bonds reflect the action of
these forces which fix market values
Market values, however, have nothing
whatever to do with real values.
The San Francisco Chronicle, in the
leading article in its financial page
recently, said:
ut is well known that large
amounts of Libertys were offered as
collateral for margin accounts by
spectators. Many of these accounts
were forced to liquidate their collat-
erals in the recent break in the stock
market.
"The exchange of Liberty Bonds for
Wildcat stocks has taken place on so
large a scale as to cause thousands of
complaints to the authorities. 1t is
safe to say that the person receiving
these bonds have sold them.
"The Christmas custom of exchang-
ing gifts may, to some extent be called
a contributing factor. Never were
prices so high and never was the de-
sire to purchase expensive gifts so
prevalent. People reason with them
selves that there is now no patriotic
necessity for keeping their Liberty
Loans so they sell their bonds to buy
silks and jewels"
Liquidation of Liberty Bonds by
holders of small amounts for the pur-
chase of luxuries has virtually thrown
these bonds into our currency sys-
tenn, owing to their negotiability. This
has expanded our currency, cheapen-
ing the dollar and contributing effect
lively to raise prices generally.
The man who sells his Liberty Bond
now loses money. 1t is good business
to buy more at the present market
values rather than to sell what you
have.
