All things considered, the bond loan
Of 1898 went with even greater spirit
and success than the issue closed yes
terday. The rate Of interest was less,
the terms yer not so easy, money was
not so plentiful and commanded high
er rates in the open market, and the
drive to place the bonds was not so
vigorous.
But the patriotic spirit then was
keen, and the nation was eager to
avenge the destruction of the Maine.
Nor had it been sobered by the con-
cred by the contemplation of three
years of the most dreadful warfare
the world has ever seen.

rAaIFr AND PATRIOTISM

Uncle Sans new scheme for patri-
otic thrift became effective Dec 3.
War-say,ngs Certificates Thrift
Cards and warsawngs Stamps are
now to be had and everybody should
know what they are, The Literary
Digest briefly explains the scheme as
follows
War-sayings Certificate has TWEEN
ty spaces, upon each one Of which d
government stamp costing about 53l2
may be affixed. These stamps will
increase in value at the rate of four
per cent compound interest, 90 that
ia five wears, at maturity. they win
be worth five dollars each The full
certificate, costing 1924 will be re-
deemed IN five years by the United
states government for 800 in cash.
But any one OF the stamps, or any
part OF an incompletely filled certif-
icate. win be redeemed in cash, at
any time, on ten days notice. for
more than its original cost The
stamps and the filled or partly filled,
WarSavings Certificate. are better
than currency better than their face
value in money itself. and available
for use at any time OF need For
example, II you were to carry a five
dollars bill in yonr pocket for six
months, It would be worth at the
end Of that time mot one cont more
than i've dollars. but if you carry in
your pocket a swar-sayings stamp.
or a War-Savings Certificate with
the stamps affixed, Il is increasing IN
value every minute q the time and
you can use i as money whenever
YOU wish,
The United states Thrift Cards are
planned on the same principle as the
War-sayings Certificates The total
value is only five dollars, however,
and the twenty spaces for War-savs
ings Stamps provide for saving as lit
tie as twenty-five cents at time
The whole plan is simplicity, conven-
ience, profit and service to the high
est degree. II gives to every class
Of Americans, even those Of the
smallest means, the opportunity to
save money aud to lend it to their
own government at four per cent,
compound interest, with the right to
have theiFs money back with increase
at any time 1t brings to every man,
