The Worlds Premier
Investment

The law authorizing the issue Of the Lib
erty Loan bonds of 1917 invests these bonds
with certain advantages which no other
bonds in the world, be they national, state,
municipal or corporate, possess and makes
them in many respects a uniquely desirable
investment,
These bonds are not taxable by the ma.
ton, state, county or city; nor will any
war tax subsequently, levied by the United
States during this war affect them. State,
county and city taxes often amount to as
much as three cents on the dollar; the ex.
emption from taxation of these bonds
makes them in such cases equivalent to q
6R per cent investment. An investment
absolutely safe bringing in 6h per cent
is exceptionally desirable.
The holders of these Liberty Loan bonds
are given the right, should the United States
subsequently during this wal issue bonds
bearing a higher rate of interest, to ex-
change their Liberty Loan Bonds at par
for similar bonds bearing the higher rate.
Holders of Liberty Loan bonds are assured
that their Investments will not be impaired
in market value by coming in competition
with later issued bonds Of the government
bearing a higher rate OF interest.
There is yet another quality attaching to
these bonds which give them a worldwide
value and character which no other bonds
in the world possess, and which will not
only create the widest possible market for
their sale when normal times come again
but which will stabilize their value through
out the world, This is best expressed by
the New York Times:

The Call to Service

(Message to the General Federation OF
Women's Clubs. by Mrs. Josiah Evans
ICowies, President Council OF Presidents,
Now Orleans, April ., 1919
There is nothing like responsibility to
steady a people. 1.-The call to service" has
come to every citizen of this great country,
every man, m and child. And with this
great call there must come a steadiness
with which to face this responsibility.
Serious days are coming and II, In the
past, we have been criticised for extraya-
gance in our lives, the time has now come
when the real meaning OF citizenship-sery-
ice to our nation-wherever it may be,
must be understood and undertaken as a
duty. We must justify ourselves; we must
pie of Louisiana, Of Arkansas, of Texas,
but of every state represented in my Off
cial family must answer the call. 1t is not
q time when anyone can be oblivious to
their duties; NO one Is too obscure, too
poor, too busy not TO see the opportunity
to perform duties that must and shall be
performed. It ~startles one to think Of the
things we may have overlooked, of the
opportunities we have failed to grasp. IT
is no time to regret the past. The call
comes in clarion tones to the men and
women of America to become world citi-
zens. We have seen the young men in
khaki who are beginning to fill our streets
and camps; we know of others, not in
khaki who have signed for service. Like
them we must answer this call for service.
continued service, unending service, honor
able service, consecrated service. 1t does
not seem that there can be anyone in our
land who has not heard the call.
We, as a federation, have rendered our
service to the government. We will stand
back of the government and the nation, and
it will be no mean service that this or
ganization can render. But even il any
OF you are not in the ranks Of this great
organization, there is nc less a call to the
individuals. The heritage is SO great that
there is wonderful inspiration in the re-
Spouse. We must utilize to the best of our
ability the qualifications of our minds,
bodies and souls. And so | read out the
call to the Federation. Give your best,
and give it now. 8

The Man Behind
AngeIes Times.l

An army officer has invented a gun which
shoots both ways at the same time. 1t is
claimed that the idea is to prevent the re-
coil and keep the gun from being moved by
the explosion. The projectile fred to the
front is an ordinary explosive shell, but 1t
is said that the back shot loses lis velocity,
falling harmlessly to the ground within a
few feet of the gun. The explanations
sound well enough but all the same II we
had to be the man behind the gun-welI,
We wouldn't be that man unless we were

Don't Complain!

The world is full of complainers.
Some complain of ill health, many of
Ill fortune and most of all of ill luck.
A pound of pluck is worth ton Of
luck. 1t is not a perfect world. Who
is we'll every day throughout the year
without an ache, pain or cough?
Who is perfect in physique, in tenn
per, in deed and word and conscience?
What man or woman is without
weakness or reason at times for mis-
givings or cause at times for repent
ance?
1t is world Of foibles, fads and ia
natics. II we were all perfect the
preachers would be needless. Heaven
would be on earth.
There Is comfort in the thought that
the striking differences we find among
men and women make the world at
tractive. If all were alike the monotO-
ny would be unbearable.
Think Of these things when you feel
like repining over i'll health, i'll fortune,
i'll treatment or i'll luck.

show the cone tops intact have mostly
been restored. There is 10 door on the

built at about ten or fifteen feet from

they were probably built between the
ninth and thirteenth centuries.
