PATRIOTISM THAT PAYS
BY Luke McLuke

You are trying to show your Patriot
ism by wearing an American Flag on
your coat lapel. But the real way to
show your Patriotism is to wear a
Liberty Bond in your coat pocket.
The possession of even $50 Liberty
Bond is your certificate of Patriotism.
1t shows that you have done your
share to help your Country at this
time when your help is needed.
Do you know that the sacrifice of a
few cigars and drinks day will make
you the owner of Liberty Bond?
Would you be willing to put even a
dollar week into helping your Coun-
try win this war? Any bank will ar
range this for you.
Remember that you are not giving
your Country anything. You are lend
ing Uncle Sam your spare change, and
he will repay you with interest. Why
let your savings account slumber in
bank because you get 3 per cent
interest? Invest it in Liberty Bonds
and get 315 per cent interest.
1t is all very well to cheer and wave
Old Glory, but your cheering and wav-
ing doesn't buy ammunition for Uncle
Sam and doesn't arm and clothe our
recruits. Every dollar that you put
into Liberty Bonds goes to help win
this war. If you can't carry gun,
you can carry a bond.
Every home that displays an Ameri-
can Flag should be able to display a
Liberty Bond.
Your Uncle Sam needs aid today
Old scout, will you respond?
Let no American delay,
| Kick in and buy bond.

TERMS OF THE LIBERTY LOAN

The act authorizing the Liberty
Loan Bonds of 1917 was passed April
"a, 1917. 1t provides for the issu-
ance of $5.000,O0O,O00 of 31a % bonds
the interest payable semi-annually on
December IL and June Is of each year.
The principal is repayable on or af-
ter the 18th day of June 1882, at the
option of the government, and if this
option is not exercised the bond will
run full 80 years and become due June
Is, 1947.
The bonds are exempt both as to
principal and interest from all taxa
tion, national, state, county or mu-
nicipal, except the inheritance tax,
which is really not tax on the prop
erty, but on the transfer of property
by will or inheritance.
The bonds are to be sold at par,
that is, dollar for dollar, no premium
and no discount. They are to be sold
by the treasurer Of the United States
and by all Federal reserve banks. But
all banks, National and State. post
efiices and express companies have
been designated as agents of the gov
ernment to receive applications for
these bonds. 1t is almost as easy to
purchase one of these bonds as it is to
get postoffice money order.
1t is not necessary to pay cash in
full for a bond. One can pay down
2 per cent of the purchase price on
application-that is, 81 for $50 bond,
81 for 800 bond, etc.-1S per cent
on July 25, 1917; 20 per cent July 80,
1917; 80 per cent August Is, 1917; and
the balance, 80 per cent, August 50.

last.
R. E. Parcher paid $50 premium for
the first seat sold. During the next
hour seats went off rapidly at prices
ranging from SIS to 2.5e1apremium,
which last price held good for con-
siderable length of time. Later in the
evening, premiums ranged from $3.50
to $1.00 and the sale was adjourned
with the latter price ruling. Only
one box was offered at this sale and
there was noticeable lack of bidders
thereof, Mr.. Geo. Young securing it
at SO, remium. About $50 seats were
sold during the evening, bringing in
the neat sum of $500. On Saturday
seats were sold at private sale and
one box was disposed of to Messrs.
Kelly and McCrossen. In the evening,
at the Bells house, the public sale
was continued, prices ranging from
$25 downwards. AT this sale Mr.. Alex
Stewart and Mr.. j. C. Smith were the
highest bidders for the two remaining
boxes, purchasing them at $26 and SIC
premium, respectively. The number of
seats sold and the prices offered on
Friday evening and Saturday have as
sured the success, financially and in
point of numbers, of the grand opening
tonight.
