TO say about DR.. Hartman's weII-known

RU-NA myself for catarrh and have
given 1t to others for catarrh, bleatiug
after eating and other ailments. Il has
proved a success In all cases with old
and young men and women, All speak
we'll of PE-RU-NA. 1t is the best of all
tonics."
DIR. Wagner, out Of the fullness OF his
own personal experience, for the good of
all sick and suffering, recommends a
medicine which he knows to be good.
You may be sure a doctor would not en-
danger his professional reputation by
endorsing PE-RU-NA unless satisfied be-
yond doubt of its value.
Whether your trouble be cough or A
cold, or more subtle catarrhal effection
of the stomach, bowels or other organs,
give PE-RU-NA trial. The immediate
Improvement which you will see will sat-

Shortage Of American leather.

There is much complaint on the part
OF Belgian shoe manufacturers because

abroad, AT the same time local manu-.
racturers are greatly handicapped be,
cause of a shortage of all materials,
particularly of American leather. With
= view Of amelioratlng the situation
the Syndicate of Shoe Manufacturers
or Belgium has taken up with the gov
eminent the question OF producing a
national standard shoe at standard

one which will not be hard on the tax
payers. 1t is so drawn that redemp
ton will have to be paid for ten years
by which time the present bond issue
of $4,000 is entirely paid off The
voting of the new bond issue of $50.
600 will mean but little increase in
the taxes of the district. The pres
ent rate on the building fund is but
16 cents on the s1OO, and the total
rate on the two bond issues will never
exceed "a cents on the $500. The tax
therefore made necessary by the
approval of the bond issue next Mon
day will be around cents on the
500, mere pittance.
It is foregone conclusion that the
bond issue will carry, and it would
not be surprising if it were adopted
unanimously.

WATER USERS ASSN.

The Greenlee County Water Users
which was organized at
the county seat on December 9Th, fol-
lowing the auction sale of state land,
promises to do much for this section of
the country. The Associatin was to
hold a meeting at Franklin on last
Saturday, but due to inclement wealth
er, the meeting was indefinitely post
poned. The associations primary
purpose is to assist in securing feder-
al aid in the construction of re-
clamation project on the upper ella
river which would irrigate thousands
of acres of land which now are lying
idle. The membership of the asso-
citation includes most of the men who
purchased some of tn state land at the
sale, and they are bending every
effort to secure a survey of the pro-
posed project.

LIBERTY BoNDs-REAsoNS
FOR DECLINE

San Francisco, Ca1-'Daily quota
lions on Liberty Bonds which at pres
ent, show them below par, have moth
ing to do with the maturity value of
the bonds. and are of no interest to
the ordinary bond holder, Governor
John U. Calkins of the San Francis
co Federal Reserve Bank declared
here today. "The United States Gov
eminent will redeem every Liberty
Bond at it's maturity date at face val
ue plus accurued interest"
The reason for the decline in the
price of the Government securities is
that spectators, anxious to win high
er- returns on rislsier investments,
have thrown their Liberty Bonds ON
the market, while subscribers who
in some cases have found difficulty
in completing payments, have let go
of large blocks of the bonds. The
daily quotations on Liberty Bonds re-
fleet 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 on its financial
page recently, said:
1T is well known that large "a
mounts of hbertys Were offered as
collateral for margin accounts by
11of0 Of -
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 great a scale as to cause thous-
ands of complaints to the authorities.
1t is safe to say that the persons re-
ceiving these, bonds have sold them.
1.-THE Christmas custom of exchang-
ing gifts may, to some extent, be call
ed contributing factor. Never were
prices so high and never was the
desire to purchase expensive gifts
more prevalent. People reason with
themselves that there is now no pat
riotic necessity for keeping their Lii
berty 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 1uXuries has virtually thrown
these bonds into our currency system,
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 bust
ness to buy more at the present mark
ct value rather than to sell what
you have.
