YOUR LIBERTY BONDS
Hold On to Them and Let
the Other Fellow Do the
Selling-Buy More.

The United States Government
borrowed money from you TO r.
nance the War. You hold the
Governments promise to pay
you back. This promise is called
a Liberty Bond or Victory Note.
On this Bond is stated the condi-
tions under which the Govern
ment borrowed the money from
you.
For instance: II you hold a
Bond of the Third Liberty Loan,
it states that On Arril 18th and
October 10th of each year until
maturity, you will receive inter
est on the amount you paid for
the Bond. Other issues bear
other rates of interest and other
maturity dates. all of which are
clearly stated on the bond.
Now. if you keep your Bond
until the date when the Govern
ment pays you in full for it, you
do not need to worry If. in the
meantime, the price is low one
day or high the next. You and
Uncle Sam are living up to your
agreement with each other, and
neither will lose bv it.
On the other hand, it you sell
your Liberty Bond now, you
will find that the man you sell il
to will not give you a dollar for
every dollar you paid for it. The
price has been brought down be
cause so many people are offer
ing to sell their Bonds. If the
market is flooded with tomatoes
you can buy them cheap. but i
anyone is clamoring for toma
toes and there are few to be had
the price goes up. The same j:

STATE HIGHWAY MAPS
A New Map Just Completed
of the State Trunk High
way System-Sells for 25c.

What is said to be the most
complete highway map for tour
lists ever published has just been
issued by the Wisconsin High
way Commission. The new map
shows the complete state trunk
highway system, including the
additions made in 1919, the
other principal highways and
much other information is now
available. Former Wisconsin
highway maps set a new stand
ard, but il is believed that this
new map is a marked improve
ment over previous issues. The
state and adjoining territories in
Illinois. Iowa. Michigan and
Minnesota is shown on eight
separate map sections, making
inspection easy under all condi-
tions. One of the new features is
the Distance Finding Table that
shows at a glance the distances
via the State Truck Highway
System between any two of so
principal distribution centers.
This is unique in highway maps
and is of great practical value
These maps are on sale by the
Superintendent of Public Proper
", Madison, Wisconsin, for 25c
each, FIVE for one dollar-greater
quantities at still lower prices.
Dealers in many places also
handle them. Every automobile
owner doing any long distance
travelling in Wisconsin and en-
virons will find this map to be
invaluable. Larger scale mount
cd highway wall maps are also
being prepared and will be on
sale in few weeks at two dol
lars each.

true of Liberty Bonds. Short
sighted people aredumping them
on the market, and wise ones are
buying them.
The best advise that can be
given to the owner of a Liberty
Bond is this: Hold the bond you
bought during the war; it is as
safe and sound as the United
States Government itself.
Buy as many more at the pres
ent low rate as you can afford.
If you hold them to maturity,
you are bound to make the diff
ference between what they sell at
now and their face value. You
will also receive good interest on
your investment.
Hold on to your Liberty Bonds
and buy more.

WOMEN WILL URGE
 ANTI-CHICKEN LAW

Further steps to accomplish the passage of an ordinance prohibiting the running at large of chickens in the city were taken at a joint meet ing of committees of the Woman's Auxiliary of the Commercial Club yesterday afternoon. The committee reported much encouraging senti- ment for the proposed ordinance and 1t is believed that it's passage will be accomplished. The ladies stated that nothing would be SO conducive to improving the appearance of the city and beautifying it as to prevent chick ems from running at large, as the fowls are very destructive of flower beds, gardens, etc.
 The committee in charge of beauti- flying the courthouse grounds reported progress and subcommittee was ap- pointed to solicit funds with which to continue the work. Many compli- ment shave been paid the ladies for their splendid work on the grounds, the appearance of which has already been immensely improved. The com mittee requests that persons passing through the grounds refrain from throwing down paper or other rub bish.

WfEV|L ALREADY
 AT WORK ON RIVER

Indications of scattering infestaton by boil weevil were first reported from Arkansas river bottom lands several days ago, and on Monday Lum Green found on the A. M Ledbetter plantat;o on a stalk of cotton on which 13 of the squares of a total of IS on the stalk had been punctured by weevils. Some of the squares have since been matched out, producing live weevils. MT. Green is planning to take immediate steps by not only picking up the fallen squares but also picking the punctured squares ad- her,ng to the stalks.
 River planters are considerably con- cerned over the early appearance of the weevil. With a continuance of dry, hot weather, it is not believed the weevil damage will be more than usual, but a period of cool, rainy weather at this time would undoubt- edly prove very disastrous.
