LIBERTY LOAN MASS MEETING SAT.
 NIGHT

18th, for the purpose of effecting an efficient organization for conducting whirlwind campaign for subscrip- tions to the Liberty Loan War bonds.
 By authority of the Secretary of the Treasury Judge Frank B. Laine has been appointed chairman of the "Liber ty Loan Committee' for Greenlee county and the meeting on Saturday evening will be to enlist the support and cooperation of the people of the county in the Notation of the bonds. It is the earnest desire of the chair man that every person in the county be present at the meeting and lend his moral as well as substantial support to the movement.
 The chairman will select his assist ants from the representative business men, farmers and professional men of the county, and at the organization and other meetings some of our best speakers will be present and impress upon each individual his or her res possibility in this hour of the coun- try's need. The committee will pro- ceed along such lines as they may deem best, appointing such Sub-com- mittees and local organizations as may be eXpedient.
 The floating of the S2.000,000,000 Liberty Loan Bonds is huge under taking and a failure to successfully and quickly float these bonds might vitally affect the result of the war. It is the desire of the president that these bonds be subscribed for as largely as possible by the masses of the people, and he wants every citi- zen to have a part in the great war for the liberty of the world. The peo- pie are urged to do their duty in this great crisis and they should buy bonds even if they have to borrow a part or all of the money to do so.
 All of our local banks have been off cially authorized to receive Subscrip- tions for these bonds and are provid- ed with subscription blanks and de tailed information in regard to them. It is fully believed that this Federal Reserve District will absorb its pro- portionate share of the bonds, but it can only be done by systematic organi- zation, and every person who possibly can is urged to subscribe to the loan.
 The following statements describe fully the Liberty Loan Bonds:
 Liberty Loan Bond is a solemn promise of the United States to pay at maturity the amount of the bond to the holder thereof, and to pay inter- est semiannually each year from the date of the issuance of the bond until it is fully and finally paid. The security for a Liberty Loan Bond is the faith and honor of the United States, backed by all of the resources of the Nation and the American peo- pie. A Liberty Loan Bond is a mort gage on all the resources and taxing powers of the Government and all of
 
 There are two kinds of Liberty Loan Bonds. Bearer Bonds are to be issu- ed in denominations of $50, $100 and $500 and $1,OOO. These Bearer Bonds, which are made payable to bearer, have interest coupons attached which are detached by the holder when the interest installment they represent are due, and can be cashed at any bank the same as a United States Treasury note.
 Registered bonds are to be issued, which are registered as to both princi- pal and interest, in denominations of $1OO, 500, $1,000, $5,000, $10,000, $5o,- 0GO, and S100,000; checks for the amount of interest due will be mailed cut semlannually to the holders of these registered bonds.
 Liberty Loan Bonds of tte first is sue cf & ,GGG ,0OO,000 are to bear dat" of June 1o. 1917, and to rur for tn; ~ years, except that the Cover nmel- re- serves the right to pay them fifteen years aftel date. If this right s n0t exercised " the Cover .nent fij+neh years fIrm date, the bonus will ra:. tl'e full thIrty years.
 These bonds bear interest at 5 1-2 per cent per annum, and the interest is payable semiannually on the fifteen tn day of December and the 18th day of June in each year.
 One special advantage no other bonds, National, State, municipal, or corporate, have is that if the United States during the continuance of this war shall issue other bonds at higher rate of interest, the holders of these Liberty bonds have the right to eX- change their Liberty bonds for bonds bearing the higher rate of interest, dollar for dollar.
 They are nontaxable. If your city, county, and State taxes are three mills On the dollar, not unusual tax, these bonds are equivalent to ordinary cor porate bonds or other investments bearing 1-2 per cent.
 In addition, no Federal tax which war conditions may later make nee essary will affect these bonds. The only tax these bonds are subject to is the inheritance tax, which applies to all property of all kinds whatsoever.
 Blank forms of application for the purchase of these bonds can be ob- tained from the Treasury Department, any Federal Reserve Bank, any Ma tional, State, or private bank, any eX- press office, and any post office in the United States. Any bank or post master will aid applicant in filling out his blank and the other acts neces- sary to obtain these bonds.
