NEW LIBERTY LOAN 4 PER CENT
BONDS ATTRACTIVE TO LARGE
INVESTORS.

The erroneous impression has beef
created that the new Liberty loan =
per cent bonds are not attractive to
persons with any considerable income.
Ii should be understood that there are
two taxes, the regular normal income
tax, such as was paid last year, and
the additional tax, which is to be levied
during the period Of the war.
For the following computation the
1t is supposed that the war will last
five years. and furthermore, that the
government will retire the bonds at
the end of the ten-year option. If the
war ends before five years. the return
is greatly improved, and II the gov
ernment allows the bonds to run after
the optional period, which will un-
doubtedly be the case, the yield will
also be improved. The method OF
computation Is as follows:
On an income Of 100000 the present
tax is 1892 per cent. The total tax.
including the special war tax. will be
1913 per cent. Thus for five years
the bonds would net the investor hav-
Ing 100000 income, 3.34 per cent. For
the Ave years following the bonds
would net 3.S4 per cent, the war in
come tax being removed. making to-
tai income for the period of 3.59 an
nually. So II will be seen that even
with 100000 income 4 per cent
bond Is better purchase than 3la
per cent bond. On incomes OF lower
amount the income rate Is higher as
per the following table:
On an Income OF $4,000, the income
for the ten-year period is 1866 per cent
annually.
On an income Of 100000, the income
for the ten-year period Is 3.71 per cent
annually.
On an Income Of $4,000, the income
for the ten-year period is 3.76 per cent
annually.
On an income OF $4,000, the income
for the ten-year period Is 3.S5 per cent
annually.
On an Income Of $4,000, the income
for the ten.year period Is 3.s7 per cent
annually.
On an Income OF $4,000, the income
for the ten-year period Is $3.50 per cent
annually.
On an income Of $4,000, the income
for the ten-year period Is 1893 per cent
annually.
On an income Of $500, the income
for the ten-year period Is 3.93 per cent
annually.
On an income OF $1,000, the income
for the ten-yesr perlor Is 4 per cent
annually.
Furthermore, these bonds, being ex.
chsngeable into the next loan, that
loan must, like the other loans, be sold
at par SO that this bond must con.
tinue to be worth par. For the above
reasons II seems wise for the holders
Of 3h per cent bonds, instead Of ex.
changing their bonds for the new per
cent bonds. that they offer their bonds
fer, sale at par and buy 4 per cent
bonds with the proceeds, thus largely
increasing the subscriptions OF the
present loan.

There are some defeats more trium.

Few men have been admired by
their own domestics.

tickle and unstable subject.
The laws OF conscience, which we

of lying.
The only good histories are those
that have been written by the per.

There Is nevertheless. a certain re-
spect and a general duty OF humanity
that ties us, not only to beasts that

AMERICAN WOMEN
WILL BUY BONDS
By MARTHA kiMBALL Woop.
Member Wemen's Liberty Lean
Committee.

Never before In history, save In the
mind OF Plato In his Ideal republic,
has the economic or financial aid OF
women been sought by the government
az nation. Since Susan b. Anthony
sounded the reveille Of equal suffrage
women The world over have been clam
orlng for their rights. And now that
the government asks our aid. In no
way vii! women gain suffrage more
surely than through responding to
every call the government makes upon
them.
Washington has asked us TO con-
serve fOodstuffs and other necessities
of life; To support the Red Cross: 10
register women for war service: 70
protect the interest of women and
children in industry; to relieve the
suffering Of our allies In this great
entente; yet at the same time TO cur
tail In no way our aid TO home chari
ties. These requests prove that while
IN some states suffrage is withheld
The government feels that we are en-
lirely capable Of doing any work asked
of us; and now the supreme test, from
y mans standpoint. Is placed In Oui
hands 10 be Of financial aid 10 the gov
ernment of the United States.
These thoughts have been In the
reasons why every woman should sup
por the Liberty Loan. However. de
not believe them TO he the supreme
reasons why they Will support the
loan.
Every real woman Is potentially Q
m0,her. In our new National Army
there are 6ST 900 first call" men; anc
this means nearly million mothers

President Wilson encourages US 10
economize but in the right way.
Right economy is helping win the
war. Wrong economy is helping lose
the war. Wrong economy means feed
ing the body and starving the spiritual
sense II is the spirit Of America that
is to win the war. There never was
time when churches, schools community
progress movements, Lyceum and
Chatauqua platforms were more need
ed than today And yet many people
are saying, We'll stop our spiritual
activities until the war is over" That
is as wrong and dangerous as for the
soldiers in the trenches to say, "We'll
stop firing and economize OIL shells un-
til we see the enemy retreating.
A Lecture Course is good for Amer
lea, for East Jordan and for you. For
America, because it places public pro.

dan, because it makes your town more
delightful to live in and more attractive
to people from other towns; for you,
because it gives you an opportunity to
get away from your daily routine and
get the viewpoint Of other people. In
view of these things let US all boost our
country, town and selves by buying
Lecture Course ticket.
1t is good economy to buy season
ticket to the Lecture Course, because

will aggregate $500. II no one has

New York. Dec. Yale and the

let which has gone out to the alumni
of Yale to remind them Of the exist
ence and the significance of the Uni
versity's highly developed field ar
tillery school. The book, which is
profusely illustrated. has been dis
tributed by the military committee
of the Yale Club. OF New York City,
in an edition of $4,000. Yale men
are thus apprised of what has been
accomplished at the university in
two years of consistent specializa-
tion in field artillery training.
The four Yale batteries which
spent the summer of 1915 at Toby
hanna. Pa, preparing for service at
the Mexican border. have now been
succeeded by the r. o. T. c. unit. a
three-year course which counts to-
ward the bachelors degree for the
