DON'T SELL YOUR LIBERTY BONDS

When the patriotic editor men of the coun- try were telling their readers three and four years ago that the American government s Liberty and Victory bonds were as good as gold-and perhaps better-they believed what they wrote. They had seen tor knew of) the action of our Civil war bonds which, after the war, went to high premium on only 3 and per cent, and they were convinced as men can be convinced of anything that Liberty bonds at A to 4M per cent would be the same.
 It is true they didn't suspect that the bonds would take the tumble they did right on top of victory.
 But now they are coming out of their gloom. Liberty bonds are going steadily upward. AND THEY WILL KEEP GOING UP! \ $10O bond that you could sell for only $S5 about a year ago now brings around 500. Victory bonds are almost to par.
 Don't sell your Liberty bonds. Presently there will be going about certain smooth gents with fat rolls offering you dollar or two about market price for your bond. What are they going to do with them? Keep them, of course because they know it will be only few years until Uncle Sam's gIt-cdgcd bonds, paying higher than savings bank in tercst, will every one of them sell in the market at well above $100 apiece
 Don't forget that prediction, folks!

NoRTHCLIFFE DoFFs CHATEAU

Apparently the United States has an appre ciativc observer and warm friend in Lord Northcliffc, editor of the London Times. He has just completed a tour of the Philippines and the tremendous progress those islands have made in the twenty years they have been under American supervision has filled him with elimination He "takes off his hat' to the United States for what he has seen. Lord Northcliffe also understands the point of view of Americans regarding the Anglo Japanese alliance, and his opinion regarding that under taking has been recently confirmed in cOnver- sations with British citizens in China and other parts of the Orient. They all told the London editor that the alliance was out of date and ought to be discontinued We have heard many declarations from Great Britain of the great desire of the British for closer relations with the United States, but the re luctancr of the British to drop their Japanese alliance, certain incidents in connection with ocean trade competition, and other develop mcnts, have indicated little real effort to cuI- tivatc greater intimacy with this country II may we'll be that Lord NorthcIiffe through his frst-hand knowledge of facts. will be the ralving point about which will develop d better understanding in the British mind of American motives and ambitions.

HAVE FAITH IN AMERICA

Charles M Schwab has good reason to he an optimist. Beginning life without a penny or a puII he has made his way up to the top of the ladder of material success by brains and will power, working in the rich f"Id ot American opportunity. He owes a lot to him self and lot to his country.
 So when he calls on American business mon to pull back the throttle and go ahead he is not talking through his hat. He is giving Us the faith that made him and it is faith we can all respect, because it is founded on eN~ pericncc and demonstrated in achievement.
 Schwab's message is nothing more or less than an appeal for faith in America, faith in its vast natural resources, faith most of at in the intelligence, industry and courage of its people.
 This is a faith it ought to be easy to hoId. It is a faith founded on experience and drn. onstratod achievement, faith which can only grow stronger as we consider the realities
 If American business invigoratcs itself with this faith in America, il will not hesitate now. It will take Mir. Schwab's sound advice and proceed at once to build for the broadcncd and dccpcncd accomplishments which he predicts and which most certainly will be attained in good time. .-,..

DO YOUR XMAS SHOPPING EARLY

Time is past when gift givers have to be told the wisdom of early Christmas shopping
 We all admit we know that bigger sclec tions, better prices and more comfortable shop ping conditions exist EARLY than in the last mad Christmas-eve rush. Still, there are those who will "put-it-off'' unless SPECIALLY INVITED.
 So, the merchants of Cordova do invite all the folks hereabouts to come to town and get this Christmas shopping under way.
 Christmas stocks in ALL the stores are new and bright. The prices are lower than could reasonably be expected a few months ago. They are back to the low level that makes buying a pleasure.
 Selecting Christmas gifts now, not only eases the burden on the clerks but cOnservcs Nour energy through Ieisurcly and appropriate selections possible NOW.
 Get out into this bracing air. Walk down town for trip to the stores to see all the nice displays and bargains offered.
 You'Il find it well worth your while.
 Fcss up now Inwardy Gin your own mind) haven't we all felt just like Jumping lawn when buffrtcd about in crowded stores the day before Christmas, trying to make scIcc- lions from depleted stocks?
 WcIl-you won't feel that way if you start TO-DAY and DO YOUR CHRISTMAS SHOP PING FAIRLY.

WE SURE ARE PRETTY SASSY SOME
 TIMES

We Americans are a clever lot-somctimcs We can out finance. out-mvont, ut-fght and ont bra" anything on two legs OF four legs or on six legs for that matter. But once in awhl" we are awfulIy easy.
 Take potash. one of the three absolutely necessary elements in raising food. Before inc war we bought our supply from the pot ash trust in Germany. During the war we dclv"d lot and found that in one district in California there were deposits that would last this country 200 wears. Certain rock in WvOmin" will snnnlv all our needs for 800 years Green sands on fine New Jersey sea shore contain enough potash for the eastern cOuntrv indefinitely. Bu cXDcricncc showed that all were more expensive to mine than arc tho German beds.
 But wc went at it.
 After the great war talk came from Gen. mnuv of selling notash tO America for $40 o ton W" Inf AS tho best nrico the Amer ican notaeb"rs could offer was $125 ton we rnfusod to huv until tho German notaeh ar rived The American plants had to shnt down Thon. when tho ehine camo in from Germany. wo were inst knocked stiff to find that thc nricc of the German potash was $15O a ton That's all, But the German potash trust paid a % per cent dividend this wear, and told its stockholders that while if had sold potash below cost to German farmers big profits were still forthcoming by reason of the high prices charged American farmers.
 Meanwhile, our own potash deposits lie nm touched, the American companies workmcn are idle and money that couId be spent in this country and added to the national wealth is sent to some trust abroad with jaw breaking name.
 Potash is as dear as ever in America And hard to get at that because as little as pos sible is sent over here in order to keep the price up. E~.f ' " NyYF'

facts:
In May, 1913, Mrs. Extrcm Of We
mona, while riding through the village
on the BLOOMINGTON road, was thrown
from the car and was injured. She
had started for Ottawa to catch 8.

she was riding got out Of order, SO
