81, POI 10000 Liberty bonds have
been repurchased by the United States
government since their issuance. This
is rs per cent of the total issued, and
it signifies "a rapid reduction of the
nations debt, which should soon have
beneficial effect upon market prices
The floating supply of Liberty
bonds is being exhausted in another
way; too; they are being absorbed by
the permanent investor, the man who
intends holding until maturity
Without venturing a prediction as
to the immediate future of the market,
we believe it is sound business judy
ment to purchase more Liberty bonds
at present prices. They yield as high
as $50 per cent"

TIME TO PLAN FARM WORK

Al farmer sat on the front porch or
his home after dinner one day A pas
sing friend asked him why he wasn't
out getting in his hay The farmer
answered, az have been sitting here
80 minutes and in that time I have
thought how I can raise my profits
by $40" The manual labor on the
farm can be lessened and the profits
increased through the application of
timely thought as to what is best to
plant, what is best to raise in live
stock, what methods will work to the
best advantage and how the work
may best be correlated.
1t used to be thought that the man
who did the most work the farm
was the most successful farmer. This
may have been true but now is good
time for farmer to plan his work
for the summer. 1t is the man who
applies his energies most efficiently
who enjoys the greatest profits, and
who in the long run is the most sue
cessfu1
A little time spent daily in plan
ming at any season of the year will
be found worth while. The principal
time to plan, however, is the time
when farm duties are not progress
sing. At this time the farmer has
more leisure.
Right now, before spring work gets
too heavy, is the time for some clear
cut, definite planning, the results of
which will be manifested during the
entire coming season and perhaps for
