A pumping test of 35 hours was given the new Richmond well during the past week, water being pumped from the well in varying quantities from 150 to 250 gallons per minute which proves that there is an abundance of water in the well.

The two men who committed the robbery were picked up for speeding at 4 a. m. in the morning on the Waukegan-Chicago road at Lake Forest by plain clothes men. They offered no resistance to the officers who drove up beside them in a Ford Sedan and stopping them, discovered that they had their car loaded with loot. Upon being questioned they readily admitted that they had st-olen it at Antioch. * Dehorning proved disastrous _to ,a herd of ten cows belonging to John D.

Mr. Nish says he does not know the reason for the death of the animals though loss of blood was evidently the cause. E. P. Esch of Crystal Lake is now manager of the National Tea Store at Barrington.

C., foay 9--Secretary Mellon has called for payment on November 15, 1927, all outstanding Second Liberty Loan bonds. Interest on these bonds will cease on November 15, 1927. Approximately $1,700,000,000 of these bonds are now outstanding. While the bonds will be paid on November 15,1927, it is quite probable that during the next six months the Treasury will extend to the holders of the Second Liberty Loan bonds an opportunity to exchange them for other Government securities. No announcement has as yet been made as to the type of security to be offered in ex- | change, or the date on which the ex« JL change offer may be expected The ^ Treasury explains that the terms of j [ the bonds require that given to the public six months in from hunting, fishing and trapping li<vi ses is set apart in a special fund.

The situation is now practically reversed, and the Government is preparing to redeem or exchange some of these bonds. While no such elaborate canvass is contemplated for the redemption notice as was undertaken in 1917, the Treasury nevertheless is making a special effort to inform the holders of Second Liberty Loan bonds that their bonds will cease j ent of The to bear interest on November 15th l tinri-i . , ..

For the first time the radio will be useel by the Government as a means of reaching millions of bondholders. An announcement will be broadcast from the larger radio stations of the countxy. The importance of acquainting bond holders with the fact that their bonds have been called for payment is emphasized by the Treasury's records of previous calls for redemption or exchange. These records show that there are still outstanding at the present time, in thg hards of the public, about ^30,000,000 in Government securities upon which interest has ceased. Included in this amount are $3,600,000 in Victory notes which ceased to bear interest in 1922 and 1923. There are also outstanding $14,500,000 in temporary bonds of the several Liberty Loans, to which were attached only a limited number of interest coupons matured some seven years ago. The holders of these temporary bonds have neglected to exchange them for permanent bonds having the full number of interest coupons attached, and until such exexchange is made they have no means of collecting the interest. In the face of these facts, the Treasury is especially anxious thai the present an-r nouneement reach as many Second Liberty Loan bondholders as it is possible to reach through the press, the radio, and the banks of the country. The Second Liberty Loan, whieh was issued^ in November, 1927, was the second large loan floated by the Government during the World War, and while this loan does not mature until 1942, the condition of the money market and of the Government's finances makes it possible and advisable to call the bonds for redemption. sified sports, for the summer, fall and winter months.
