If people must sell war bonds, let them by all means get what the bonds are worth. Or rather, since the bonds are really worth par, though that is practically unattainable at present, let them get the full market price. Inquiries in many cities develop the fact that there are often discrepancies ranging from a few cents to as much as $10 between the price paid and the current price that ought to be paid for a $100 bond of any particular issue. One news- paper which sent a man around town offering for sale a $100 Victory Loan bond of the third issue, bearing 4% per cent interest, found that various dealers were paying on that day anywhere from $90.17 plus accrued interest, down to $83, a differ- ence of $7.17. ) The prospective seller should first assure him- self of the current market price. He can generally find it in the financial column of his daily paper. ! l ’ He can get it from his banker or from any reputable brokerage house. Having learned what ' honest dealers are paying, he should insist on that price. He will have no trouble in getting it from the reputable broker, and possibly his bank will take it at the price. The broker, of course, has a right to charge a fee for selling it, which is usually Y% per cent, or 50 cents. No other fees should be paid. Beware, therefore, of illegitimate dealers. Bond owners ‘have lost enough on the securities when they sell them at the highest prices obtainable.— Little Falls Transcript. i 0- The St. Cloud Times takes a turn at printing the following, which has been making the rounds under the captiop of “What’s the Matter With America”: - What’s the matter with America these days? Too many diamonds, not enough alarm clocks. _Too many silk shirts, not enough blue flannel opes. Too many pointed-toed shoes, and not enough squared-toed ones. TOO MANY SERGE SUITS AND NOT ENOUGH OVERALLS. Too much decollete and not enough aprons. Too many satin-upholstered limousines and not enough cows. Too many consumers and not enough producers. Too much oil stock. and’ not enough saving accounts. Too much envy of the results of hard work and too little desire to emulate it. Too many desiring short cuts to wealth and too few willing to pay the price. Too much of the spirit of “get while the getting is good” and not enough of the old-fashioned Christianity. d Too much discontent that vents itself in mere complaining and too little real effort to remedy conditions. * Too much class consciousness and too little com- mon democracy and love of humanity.

About 200 MANY BUILDING . IMPROVEMENTS New Drug _S—t:re, Abstract Office and Grocery Store Added to Improvements That Bagley is prospering and growing is shown by the large . amount of building and improving being done this suring. Wright and Hill, who recently purchased the ramily theatre and bakery building are building an ad- dition 50x24 feet on the morth side of the bakery. This part of the build- ing will be used as a drug and music store.

A large soda foun- tain has been ordered which will be installed sometime in June. The management has also ordered an electric player piano, to be used in the movie house.
