Residents of Uvalde, Texas, are demonstrating their financial wisdom by investing heavily in the att
tive new Registered Treasury Savings Certificates. The above check represents sales mAde in a single day thro
the Fitat State Bank of Uvalde of which George E. Brashear is Cashier. x
This check for $33,620 bought forty $1,000 Registered Treasury Savings Certificates, or in other wo
$40,OSS worth. The purchasers made $6,480 by investing in August when the cost of each $1,000 Certificate
$838. They showed good business foresight. The price is only $840 for September.
Yon can buy the new $1,000 Registered Treasury Savings Certificates from banks and trust companies
the $100 Certificates from first and second class postoffices as well as banks and trust companies. The $100 <
tificate is blue in color, the $1,000 Certificate being maroon, and both are somewhat/similar in appearance

'according to our corres-
pondents, the volume of trade now
being transacted at retail and whole-
sale is very satisfactory, the financial
situation is good, and the dullness
usually experienced at this midsum-
mer season is conspicuously absent."
“There is considerable liquidation
from the small grain crop and this is
having a very favorable effect on
business," the report continues. “The
outlook for fall props is not as good
as a month ago, as cotton has deter-
iorated within that time; neverthe-
less, we look for unusually large yields
in the principal money-producing
commodities and we see no reason to
revise earlier predictions of a satis-
factory fall business in practically all
lines.”

land cannot be cultivated, and. In
fact much of it is more rock than

a 38.5 acre scrap in Bexar county. The
next highest price is $6 an acre.

Lake Geneva, Wts., Sept. 1.—Plans
of distinguished laymen of the Pres-
bvyterian church in the U. S. A. for
revitalizing the church and guiding
it in its efforts to meet labor, social
and community problems resulting
from the world war, are to be pre-
sented to a conference yf laymen and
ministers opening here tomorrow for
a four days’ session under the direc-
tion of the Presbyterian New Era
Movement.
“The Whole Church Behind Its
Whole Task, With a Definite, Special
Task for You and Me," Is the slogan
of the New Era Movement and the
leaders plan to enlist the organiza-
tions of the membership in a five-
year program of service to their fel-
low men.
Included among the prominent Pres-
byterian laymen who have been asked
to express to the New Era Conference
their views as to the church’s duty
and opportunity in helping to meet
existing crises and evangelize Indus-
trial democracy are President Wilson,'
Vice President Marshall, Secretary of
State Lansing, Secretary of the In-

Madison, Wia.
Sept. 1.—What is
known as the soldiers bonus bill car-
rying an appropriation approximating
$5,000,000 will be voted upon In Wis-
consin at a special election on Sep-
tember 2.
The measure was passed at fhe re-
cent session of the the legislature and
was amended so as to be effective
or not as the voters decide.
It is estimated that approximately
120.000 soldiers of Wisconsin would
share In the bonus If voted. Of this
number 18,000 were members of the
Wisconsin National Guard; 10,000
were enlisted men in the United
States army, navy and marines, and
90.000 were chosen for service under
the selective service law. The law
applies also to nurses and it has been
estimated that this state sent possi-
bly 500 nurses into the service.
The bonus is $10 a month, for fed-
eral service and not less than $50
per person. The highest amount any
Soldier would receive would probably
be $240. The Wisconsin National
Guard was called to the service late
in June 1917, and most of these men
have been mustered out by July 1919.
Two sources of taxation would be
used In raising the amount. On the
general property of the state the tax
shall not exceed 3 mills and counties
not desiring to raise this amount by
a direct tax, may raise their share by
a bond issue. , The second source of
revenue is a surtax on -incomes. In-

Fort Benton, Mont, Sept. 1.—John
N. Brown, of Winnipeg, has started
from here on one of the longest ca-
noe trips ever attempted in North
America. His destination is the Gulf
of Mexico. It is claimed that a wag-
er of $1,000 has been made.
Brown started out with the deter-
mination of completing the &200
trip in 50 days. He idfiMmltted to
sleep ashore but be mustmake the
entire journey in the small craft.
The twisting Missouri is sluggish
for many miles and “old timers" be-

they are as follows:
Claims ' for damages may be pre-
sented not only for losses during the
recent two revolutions ending with
the installation of the present gov-
ernment May 1, 1917, but for those
sustained since them in various re-
gions where revolts still are smold-
ering.
Damages by rebels or outlaws to
persons or property subject to re-
clamation when such damage is
found to be the result of negligence
on the part of constituted authorities.
A commission on indemnification will
adopt any means of proof "humbly
reasonable."
The claim commissioner can con-
sider all cases but the president has
the right to arrange conventions, with
any foreign power for a mixed com-
mission to handle claims of citizens
of that power. Claims by railroad com^
panics and other public utilities taken
over by the government may be ar-
ranged either by the federal claims
commission or by agreement between
the companies and the secretary of
the treasury. The claims resulting
from death or injury will be paid Im-
mediately upon approval by the pres-
ident.
The federal claims commission will
cease receiving claims any time when
at the end of three months no claim
has been presented, being dissolved
when it finishes consideration of cas-
es. Claims not acted upon may be
presented to the treasury department
if the claipqnt chooses the adminis-
trative rather than the diplomatic
method.
