Buying Liberty Bonds Is
Not An Act Of Charity

When you buy United States Lib
erty War Bonds you are not giving
away anything. Your act of purchas-
ing is not an act Of charity What
ever money you have you possess be-
cause you have lived and worked in
The glorious United States. Today the
United States needs ready money to
help win the war, to provide food,
clothing and transportation for our
soldier boys. So our government says
to you: Loan us $50 or 800, or what
ever amount you like, and we will pay
you 81 per cent annual interest (pay-
ments every June Is and Dec. 15), and
in addition to that we will pay you
back the entire amount you lent u.s..
Also, IL the interest rate on our bonds
goes up, we will advance your interest
10 the highest rate"
That's a fair, square proposition.
You can't lose The United States
helped you get what you have, and 1t
is both patriotism and good business
on your part to loan the government
some Of your money now. Order
United States Liberty Bonds from
your banker or your broker. Do il
= today.

Don't Be Afraid of Bonds;
They're Like Gold Coin

Don't get scared when anybody says
bonds" One reason why most peo-
pie know very little about bonds is
that usually they cost around $1,000
each, and you and l don't buy $1,000
things every day. But our United
States is now issuing United States
Liberty Bonds that cost as low as $50,
and it's high time now to learn that
bond is the safest investment on earth.
On the United States Liberty Bond
you get 31s per cent interest, payable
every June Is and Dec. Is, and also
you get your entire principal back.
United States Liberty Bonds are GER
tain to become as numerous in the
United States as gold pieces. They
VIII have a wide and ready sale. Any
time you need money, you can take
your bond to the bank and get it.
There isn't a real estate dealer any
where, or an automobile maker, or a
grocer who wouldn't be just as glad to
take United States Liberty Bond as
he would to receive gold coin.
If you haven't already ordered your
United States Liberty Bonds, see your
banker or your broker today.

Sixth Federal Bank District Has High
Hopes In Selling United States
Liberty Bonds

President Wilson, The cabinet and
congress- are keenly awaiting news OF
he subscription for Liberty bonds
which the government has issued TO
aelp in the war.
The sale has been arranged through
the Federal Reserve Banks and at
cording to their districts. Our dis
riot, the sixth, includes Georgia, Flor
ida, Alabama and approximately half
Of Tennessee, Mississippi and LOUISE
ana. Few sections of he United
States have such varied resources.
From the orange groves of Florida to
the steel mills of Alabama, and from
the cotton fields of Georgia to the
rice plantations Of Louisiana and the
stock raising section Of Tennessee al
most every kind Of crop and manu-
featuring industry can be found. 1t
will be strange indeed if the people OF
this prosperous section are not
among the largest purchasers of Lib
erty bonds.
The government will be very great
" disappointed unless this great sec
ton ranks at least third in the volume
OF its purchases Of Liberty bonds.
Bankers of Atlanta, Birmingham, New
Orleans, Macon, Chattanooga and
Jacksonville as well as in every small
town in the district agree that wheI
the total figures are announced that
the Sixth District will be found to
have done its full part.
But every man, woman end child
must participate. Bonds sell as low
as $50 and as high as $4,000.
Make the war loan the chief subject
Of discussion in your home, Make sure
that each member Of your family
sees his or her duty and opportunity
clearly.
Make up your mind today. Don't

But a bond is different. The money
you pay for a bond is returned to you

You know by reading the bond itself
IN precisely what date you will get
back your principal. Then, instead OF
wondering whether you will get inter-

WHY NOT YOUR SUMMER VA
CATION ON ELK RIVER

AS to the superlative scenic cory
of the Ozarks, there can be no two
opinions. Bayard Taylor dec AIRED that
he had encircled the globe only to
find the most beautiful scenery in
the world in Southern Missouri and
Northern Arkansas. 1t is the kind or
scenery that welcomes you r'gnt INTO
its family circle and enveIops you IN
a cordial embrace. 1t is Nature wear
ing a serene and genial smi e, rather
than a gloomy and forbidding scoWl.
Every year there is marked IN
crease in the number of family camps
established in the Ozarks ong the
Kansas City Southern Railway, and
it is noticeable that when family
once has taken such a vacation, that
family is certain to return next year
usually with a family or two OF
friends or neighbors.
And finally, feature of the Ozark
region that should c,inch the argu-
ment in making a choice Of outing
spots, is its accessibility. Instead OF
enduring hot, tiresome ride of IL
to Sc hours, the recreation seeker can
leave Lake Charles after lunch today
and be in the Ozarks in time for an
early breakfast tomorrow. BY way OF
the Kansas City Southern, in per-
fectly equipped luxuriously comfort
able train, he is wh:sked, without
change, to the land of his desires
From wake-up time in the morning
until the return of nightfall, if he
should remain on the train, he Will
pass through a constant succession OF
enticing spots, each with some special
charm of its cwn that becokns him to
closer acquaintance.
