was caught by O'Neil and bowled by
Newhall after getting ten runs. G.. o

The wicket was bumpy and likely

Your Liberty Bond.
Hold Them And Buy More Is
Now Advised.

The United States Government
borrowed money from you to finance
the War. You hold the Governments
promise to pay you back. This
promise is called Liberty Bond or
Victory Note. On this Bond is stated
the conditions under which the Gov
ernm.nt borrowed the money from
you.
For instance: If you held Bond
of the Third Liberty Loan, it states
that on April 18th and October 10th
of each year until maturity, you will
receive interest on the amount you
paid for the Bond. Other issues
bear other rates of interest and other
maturity dates, all of which are clear
ly stated on the Bond.
Now, if you keep your Bond until
the date when the Government pays
in full for it, you do not need to wor-
rs, 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 Meth
er will lose by it.
On the other hand, if you sell your
Liberty Bond now, you will find that
the man you sell it to will not give
you dollar for every dollar you paid
for it. The price has been brought
down because so many people are Of
fcrirg To sell their Bonds. If the
market is flooded with tomatoes, you
can buy them cheap, but if everyone
is clanoring for tomatoes and there
are few to be had, the price goes up.
The same is true of Liberty Bonds
Short sighted people are dumping
them ON the market, and wise ones
ar" buying them.
The, best advice that can be given
to the owner of Liberty Bond is
this: Hold the bond you bought dur
ing the war; it is as safe and AS sound
as the 'nited States Government it.
self.
Buy as as many more at the pres
ent low rate as you can afford. II
you hold them until maturity, you
are bound to MAKE the difference be-
tween what they sell at now and their
face value. You will also receive
good interest on your investment.
Hold on toyour Liberty Bonds and
buy more.

are the chief essentials. There are II
number of other tools, such as trow-
el. sprinkling can. wheel hoe, seed drill
and wheelbarrow, that may often he
used to advantage, but they are not
absolutely necessary.
1t is important, however, that the
few essential tools be properly cared
for and used frequently. Every time
they are used they should be cleaned
and stored In dry place. Also they
should be kept so sharp that the work
may be done easily and thoroughly.
god Job of hoeing cannot be done with
a dull or rusty hoe.
If the garden Is located at q distance
from the house small, low, fiat tool
box, long enough to accommodate the

good tool will more than offset the cost
