GUARD YOUR LIBERTY BONDS: — There is every indication that Liberty lx>an bonds, issued during the v ar, will greatly Vis. in value with the establishment of peace. In ISSB a 8100 tinted States bond, bearing 4 per cent interest, sold in the open market for 8130. In 1801 it brought mere than 8139. The moat conservative will agree that Liberty bonds are sure to go above par in value, now that the allies have brought the war to a victorious end. The shrewd and unscrupulous, the birds of prey in finance, realize the worth of Liberty bonds, and are using every effort to secure them from those who are uninformed in financial matters. Their favorite method is to offer stock in wild.

To permit this isn't fair to yourselves. They draw

trade away from you that bekme here and they will keep on doing *t unless you make an effort to restrain IL Toll the people what you have for sale, don't sit still and let the business slip away. \\ ar Saving Stamps make a propi r and splendid Christmas gift. Huy one for each member of the family. They will grow into greater value und when needed will be more appreciated than now. In selecting these as your gifts you not only confer a favor upon the recipient but you aid your government and you help put Adams county over for the 100 per cent record for which she is striving

so hard. Have you ever stopped to think what an asset it is to this county to own government paper? There has been sold during the past year 82.500,000 worth of bonds and thrift stamps

nsolutely valuel<-“

in exchange ?cr Liberty bonds. Sonic of these get-rich-quick schemers off r to lend their prospective victims money, wherewith to buy the goldbrick stock, taking Liberty bonds as security. This, of course, is only a thinly disguised attempt to obtain Liberty bonds for worthless stock. The United States owns some 5000.000 acres of oil lands and 53,000,000 acres of coal lands, the title to which belongs to the federal government. Sime all owners of JLi'uM'ta' bonds are part owners of this government, it would be palpably foolish of them to exchange their Liberty bonds for oil or. coal stocks of doubtiul value. Before disposing of his bonds, the holder thereof would do well to consult a banker. Such consultation will not prosper the take stock concenu, but it certainly will prosper the bond holder. It some one will lead, Decatur can havo a Chamber of Commerce that will be popular and will do mon good for Decatur than iny organization in it. There should be a headquarters where the men and women can drop in, where meetings can b held and where plans for aiding Decatur cau be discussed and disposed of. During the past few months there has been a headquarters for war activities and each evening found the room well filled with interested citizens. The work of improving our own community is the most important peace time duty for each citizen and we are sure tint such a room, made permanent, would be a popular piacc. If we will til forget our little petty differences EARLY XMAS SHOPPIE is an advantage to both the buyer and the seller. By buying enrly the buyer has a belter selection and the seller has more time in which to wait on trade. We are showing a dandy line of both staple and fancy Xmas stock. THfi MYERS-DAILEY COMPANY
