LOSES VALUABLE JACK
Hugo Buddemeyer who arrived in
Mercedes last week to take up his
residence on a recently purchased
60 acre farm in the West Mercedes
tract lost a valuable jack when his
carload of stock was unloaded. Mr.
Buddemeyer’s other stock came
through their trip from Napolean
Mo.„ in fine condition but the jack
after getting out of the car showed
symptoms of illness and died al-
most instantly. Mr. Buddemeyer had
refused $1500 for him shortly before
his car of stock was unloaded.
Aside from several head of horses
and cows Mr. Buddemeyer brought
a high grade stallion to the Val-
ley.
Camels are sold everywhere in
scientifically sealed packages of 20
cigarettes; or ten packages (.200
cigarettes) in a glassine-paper-
covered carton. We strongly rec-
ommend this carton for the home
or office supply or when you travel.
Cigarettes
They Win You On Quality!
Your enjoyment of Camels will be very great
because their refreshing flavor and fragrance
'-nd mellowness is so enticingly different. You
never tasted such a cigarette! Bite is elimi-
nated and there is a cheerful absence of any
unpleasant cigaretty after-taste or any un-
pleasant cigaretty odor |
Camels are made of an expert blend of choice
Turkish and choice Domestic tobaccos and are
smooth and mild, but have that desirable full-
body and certainly hand out satisfaction in
generous measure. You will prefer this Camel
blend to either kind of tobacco smoked straight!
Give Camels the stiffest tryout, then
compare them with any cigarette in
the world at any price for quality,
flavor, satisfaction. No matter
how liberally you smoke
Camels they will not tire
your taste!

The United States Treasury De-
partment is preparing for the ex-
change of temporary 4 per cent cou-
pon Liberty Bonds which do not
carry interest coupons beyond No-
vember, 1919. The Federal Reserve
Bank is advising banks of the plans
of the Treasury Department and has
also issued a preliminary statement
to the public at large. The state-
ment follows:
The 4 per cent coupon bonds of
the second Liberty Loan, which were
issued in temporary form like other
4 per cent and 4 1-4 per cent coupon
Liberty Bonds, hav no interest cou-
pons attached for interest payable
that the permanent 4 per cent and
porary 4 per cent bonds and of the
first Liberty Loan converted will
atso ipe for 4etw<ery mi ap-
proximately March 15, 1920.
The treasury counts on the co-
operation of the holders of the tem-
porary 4 per cent bonds ad of the
banking institutions of the country
in carrying out the provisions which
have thus been made for the ex-
change and conversion of the 4 per
cent coupon Liberty bonds. Full in-
formation as to the manner of con-
ducting the exchange of all issues of
temporary 4 per cent and 4 1-4 per
cent coupon Liberty bonds for per-
manent bonds will be shortly an-
nounced by Treasury Department
circular which is now in course of
preparation.

The voting strength in the dis-
trict is 16, and since the proposal to
organize received the unanimous vote
of these holders, it is predicted that
authority to issue the bonds will be
granted.

nated in view of the extension of the
conversion privilege to the prepara-
tion of the permanent 4 1-4 per
cent bonds in the several loans.
Holders of temporary 4 per cent
coupon bonds in the second Liberty
Loan are, therefore, urged to either
piesent their bonds for exchange in-
to registered bonds, which already
are in permanent form, or to refrain
from presenting them for exchange
into permanent coupon bonds or for
conversion until approximately
March 15, 1920, when it is expected
that the permanent 4 per cent anci
4 1-4 per cent coupon bonds of the
second Libertv Loan and the second
Liberty Loan converted will be ready
for delivery. All 4 per cent coupon
bonds! of the second Liberty Loan
presented for exchange into perma-
nent bonds on or after November 15,
1919, will be deemed to be present-
el also for conversion into 4 1-4 per
cent bonds unless otherwise indicat-
ed by the holder in writiing, and with
the 4 1-4 per cent bonds issued upon
such exchange and conversion
special 4 per cent interest coupons
will be delivered to provide for the
4 per cent interest accruing after
November 15, 1919, which would be
payable March 15, 1920.
Regarded Good Deliveries
In the meantime it is understood
that the temporary 4 per cent cou-
pon bonds will be regarded as good
deliveries in the market. The same
situation exists as to1 the 4 per cent
coupon bonds of the first Liberty'
Loan converted except that the last
coupon on the temporary 4 per cent
bonds of that loan is payable on
December 15, 1919, and before that
date such temporary 4 per cent
bonds may be converted into tempo-
rary 4 per cent bonds. It is expected
