of-honor and chaperones who will
be the guests of Richmond at the
reunion next week will find that
everything which can contribute to
their comfort and pleasure has been
arranged for them"
About 5000 Confederate soldiers
are expected to be present when the
reunion opens Tuesday morning, to
continue through Thursday. The an
nual conventions of the Sons of Vet
Grams and Memorial Association will
get under way on Monday and con-
clude with the exercises of the Vet
Grams.
While anything approaching an ac-
curate estimate of the number of
visitors who will be attracted to this
city is impossible, it has been vari-
ously figured by reunion officials tina
that from 10000 to $4,000 persons,
includin gthe veterans, will be with
in Richmond's gates during the re-
union. Ample accommodations for all
are assured.
The city has been deliberately de-
corated in red, white and blue bunt-
ing and Confederate Flags. A holi-
day spirit is already manifesting it
self throughout the city.

LIBERTY BONDS GROW

Two years ago the various issues
of Liberty Bonds were selling at five
| to fifteen per cent below par, but to-
| day all of them are at par or above
! This condition of Liberty Bond issues
should be a matter of congratulation
to every person, regardless OF
whether or not he is the possessor OF
any bonds.
The increased value OF these
bond issues indicates the financial
stability of the government Of the
United States, and this stability
makes for the good of all. Many per-
sons of limited means who purchased
bonds during the war were forced
to sell, and for these persons there is
sympathy that they could not retain
their purchases.
There are others, however, who
thought they saw better opportuni-
ties for investment They rejected
good advice, and in many cases their
money was entirely lost The period
through which Liberty Bond issues
passed demonstrates anew the sound
ness of the American system of
finance, and every person should be
to invest in federal Sc
curities.

LINKING UP THE ROADS

The federal highway act of last
November Is rapidly assuming form
through cooperation of the state
highway departments with the Unit
ed States bureau for public roads
The system of national or interstate
roads will comprise $4,000 miles, 7
per cent of the entire public road
mileage of the United States OF
this amount, three-sevenths will be
composed of interstate roads, the re-
mainder to make up connecting state
systems. There is state and federal
money enough in hand or in sight to

start the actual work, and nearly all
of the states now have submitted to
the national bureau plans for the
sections of road that will so into the
interstate systems. And the bureau
is seeing to it that the sections meet
at the state lines. No federal aid
will be allowed on any highway
which does not fit into the general
scheme of national or state system.
The United States spent $500 ,OOO,-
600 on roads last year, and It was
money well invested. This new sys-
tenn of road building will mean re-
suits in the shape of roads that link
up and lead somewhere and bring
service to all rather than a favored
few.

SUBSCRIPTION PRICE
OUR BIRTHDAY

Today the Mountain Home Repub-
lican celebrates the starting of its
thirty-third year as newspaper in
Mountain Home.
Thirty-two years is not such vast
expanse of time in a way, but when
one stops to consider the immense
strides which have taken place in
the worlds development in that time
it causes one to feel that it covers a
vast reach. Thirty-two years ago
the telephone was in its infancy;
electricity was not used for power;
the airplane was undreamed of; wire
less would have been hailed as black
magic.
The reclamation of the arid West
was but a dream thirty-two years
ago.
At that time no one shimmied to
the strains of jazz record on the
photograph, or did the angleworm
glide to the syncopations of a cow
bell orchestra.
Thirty-two years ago most of the
irrigation in this section took place
on Front Street with the elbow
crooked at a convenient angle.
Thirty-two years ago Bill Bryan
hadn't even ran for President of the
United States.
Yes, thirty-two years is quite a
spell when it is figured out in terms
of progress. The Republican be-
lieves that thirty-two years hence
the people of Mountain Home and vi
cinity who are then living will look
upon country which, except for It's
ancient and ineradicable landmarks,
will be well-nigh totally different
from that upon which we now gaze.
This vast, fertile region will be
producing center second to none
other on the face of the globe, and
its people will be contented and pro-
gressive.
The Republican wishes at the be-
of its thirty-third year to
assure the people of this grand Sec
ton that we intend to do our level +,
best to "carry on, and to strive at
I'll times to further the interests of
cur home. May the close of our

CROPS REAL WEALTH OF NATION

The real wealth of the nation is
in its crops. The two other kinds
OF wealth, brains and mines. depend
on crops. It is good crop year,
never equaled in American history
probably Three thousand million
bushels Of corn, the hay crop the
biggest ever known, the biggest po-
tato crop in history with one excep-
ton, one and half billion pounds
of tobacco, two. hundred million
bushels OF apples. The country ought
to raise, for its health, ten times as
many Men have been foolish with
their wars. strikes, cheating and
striving, but nature continues her
unfailing generosity.

Funds at Greenfield.

complaint against Arthur H. Harvey of
Lynn was dismissed in the district court
yesterday morning Harvey was ar
raigned Monday morning on charge of
embezzlement of funds pertaining to the
Massachusetts American Legion. and
pleaded not guilty. Harvey had So
licited subscriptions in Turner's Falls for
the official post directory of the Amer
lean Legion, and it was found that
proper returns of the money he had re-
ccived had not been made. At a con-
ference of business men of Turner's Falls
with Frank G.. Keegan, commander of
the American Legion at Turner's Falls,
and John ". Reith, chairman of the off
cial post directory committee, Harvey
agreed to make restitution
Mr.. Reith made the following state
ment: Through the efforts of Frank
g. keegan, commander of Clarence w.
Allen post of the American Legion, the
official post directory committee learned
Of the Irregularities which occurred in
Turner's Falls in obtaining subscriptions
for the directory. With his cooperation
the committee learned the amount sub
scribed BY the business men of Turner's
Falls. 4 complaint was issued through
the district court in Greenfield, and as
result complete restitution of all money
received has been made to department
headquarters 1t is felt that the lesson
taught makes it certain there can never
be q repetition of the affair Hereafter
the solicitors for the directory will bear
credentials, including a description and
a photograph of the solicitor. This will

impossible
