UNCLE SAM BUYS HIS OWN
BONDS
Owners of liberty bonds which are
now some five or six points below the
purchase price, may derive some com
fort from the thought that Uncle Sam
is doing his best to keep their invest
ments from going any lower. The
government through the war finance
corporation is always a heavy pur
chaser of bonds in the market when
ever there is any special selling pres
sure. A great number of bonds, for
instance, were purchased on the New
York stock exchange last December
when people were selling either to
get money with which to buy Christ
mas presents or to pay the doctor and
undertaker for attendance during the
influenza epidemic. More recently
the government has had to absorb
heavy sales by citizens who needed
cash in business or had to sell out
in order to get extra coin with which
to eke out a salary that was proving
unequal to the strain of life with the
present price schedules. The gov
ernment up to May 31 last had pur
chased a total of $905,149,000 Liberty
bonds during times of pressure and
had resold $603,238,250 of these bonds
at times when the market was
stronger.—Chamberlain’s Weekly.

Brother Troy of the Juneau Em
pire occasionally takes a dig at his
contemporaries that makes them sit
up and take notice, as witness the
following rather cutting paragraph:
“Characteristic of a certain school
of journalism, very frequently affect
ed by those who are new to a commu
nity, the Ketchikan Chronicle has be
gun a war on Ketchikan’s neighbors,
particularly on the ‘Juneau spirit,’—
probably thinking that attacking an
other town is the best way to make
Ketchikan think it is particularly
loyal to Ketchikan. The last marks
of the Chronicle’s displeasure are the
Alaska Fish and Game Club and the
territorial fish commission. AYe com
mend to the consideration of the
Chronicle the sage advice of the late
Bill Devery, “If you don’t know noth
in’ don’t say nothin’ about nothin.’ ’
RAFTS OF LUMBER
TO BE PROPELLED
ACROSS ATLANTK
VANCOUVER, B. C„ Aug. 30 (bj
Associated Press).—A ship that is its
own cargo, a cargo of lumber that pro
pels itself—Such is the nature of on(
of the queerest crafts ever known t<
the world, which within a few week;
will leave a Vancouver mill on its wa?

This odd ship, the dream of Johi
Arbutnot, former mayor of Winne
peg and now a resident of Victoria
is being translated into fact by thi
Furger Lumber Company, backed b;
the great Vickers interests of Eng
land. The ship—for it will be a shif

composed of 5,000,000 feet of Dougla
fir and have an engine installed ca

leaves its “builders,” it is expected
it will have been dismantled in Eng

DRY PARTY IS

SERIOUS SPLIT
Effort to Disband Prohibition
Party Met by Attempt to
Carry on Work Until
World Is Dry
CHICAGO, Sept. 2 (by Associated
Press).—The Prohibition party’s na
tional committee is considering the
dissolution of the party. One faction
wants the party to continue in order
to secure the enforcement of prohibi
tion legislation. A split in the ranks
is threatened. The delegates will
vote on the question tomorrow.
The national committee is meeting
here in celebration of the fiftieth an
niversary of the party. Discussions to
day included methods of enforcement
of the federal prohibition amendment
and ways and means for making the
whole world dry.

to be provided.
Back of the novel ship construc
tion, of course, is a new and suppos
edly economical method of trans
porting lumber. After much puzzling,
officers of Lloyd’s Insurance Com
pany issued a new kind of insurance
on the first vessel of this type, at ap
proximately the same rate as sailing
ship insurance.
