But there are three other important points to keep in mind
 The kind of buyer the government is most anxious to get is the man. woman or child who will not disturb conditions by selling securities or withdrawing bank accounts, but will make payments on the installment plan from weekly or monthly pay envelopes. Hence the first point for such buyers to keep in mind Is that by purchasing a $50 or $1OO bond money which otherwise would be spent will be saved. Until the system of buying sin gle share of stock, railway or industrial, or SlOO bond, from the pay envelope has actually been tried it is difficult to real ize how much money can thus be saved within a year
 Another point for the buyer of a $50 or $100 bond to keep in mind is that dividend will be received which cannot be figured in dollars and cents. If the United States is to continue to be Gods country, German militarism must be defeated. To keep Germany from winning, every Tom, Dick and Harry with a weekly pay en- velope must do his bit in making the liberty loan a success. Restoration of world wide peace will bring in dividends over and above 31a per cent, regularly, for generations to come.
 There is still the other point for the buyer of liberty bonds to keep in mind, as a pure matter of business. This gov ernment has no 31A per cent bonds now outstanding But there are 3s, and those 3s within comparatively few years have sold as high as 112; around the same time the As sold as high as 127. On that basis the new 30-year 31ks, after peace has been declared should sell well above the purchase price, $1O0 That means that besides receiving 31a per cent interest per annum, the buyer of the new 30-year 31as doubtless will have an opportunity to dis pose of his bond at substantial pre- mium.
 pean war broke out in the late summer of 1914 and the bottom dropped out of business in the south, Americans were asked through patriotism to "buy a bale of cotton" Many people were skeptical. Some of the funny papers" took up the subject in paragraphs and cartoons. Those who came to the rescue however, were well paid for their patriotism That same cotton afterwards advanced from $35 to s110 bale.
 One very good reason why the every day American has been holding back his sub scription to a $50 or $l00 liberty bond is that as yet little information has been published showing how the bonds can be purchased on the installment plan. Men or women who have investment or specu- lative accounts with stock exchange firms will experience no difficulty in sub- scribing to the liberty loan. In that case necessary arrangements can be made quickly And the same is true with those who have bank accounts. Every bank, trust company or brokerage house in the country stands ready today to serve clients in purchasing the liberty bonds.
 But Uncle Sam is not after buyers who have stock exchange or bank acquaint- ances; he wants the man who has no bank account and who has never before owned a bond And the country is full of bread-earning men and women who stand ready to help if they are just told how the liberty bonds can be purchased on easy terms.
 Read the financial advertisements in your own paper. There should be one or more of them answering the very ques- tions about the liberty bonds that are
