estimated at 5OOOO,OOo,OOo. That is.
the repayment Of the total subscrip-
tion OF five billions OF dollars Will be
secured by two hundred and nifty BILL
lions Of u. s. property and wealth.
These bonds will also pay you per
cent. interest. semi-annually, Novem-
Der i5 and May IS, every year.
This annual interest up TO S5,0OOOO,
that is, up to si25,000.0O worth Of
bonds. held by any one subscriber, will
be exempt from all Federal and State
income taxes, and from County, City
or other local taxes. Again, II the u.
s. Government issues any other LIB
erty Bonds hereafter az a higher rate
than per cent. interest, then you can
exchange your Z per cent. Liberty
Bonds for such new bonds and get
the increased interest they Will pay.
Many farseelng and wise investors,
who have railroad, industrial, and oth-
er &C" operation bonds which now pay
more than four per cent. Interest, are
selling these in enormous quantities
and re-investlng the money in these
Liberty Bonds as fast as the u. 5. Gov
crnment issues them, because, among
other reasons, they feel that the LIB
crty bonds are better secured; are free
from u. S and State income taxes, and
other u. s., State, County, City, ETC.,
taxes and will not depreciate in mar
ket value, as corporation bonds al
ready have done, and will further 90,
steadily, as the war and its cost con-
tinues.
What these experienced and long
headed investors are doing, Is well
worth while for you and me TO do.
Therefore any money you now have
in hand or can save hereafter from
month TO month, you had best invest
in these Liberty Bonds.
Again, no man can tell how long
this destructive and terrible war will
continue, nor how greatly IL Will in
iure the prosperity Of our country, or
Increase the cost Of living, or reduce
the income or earnings OF our people
high and low, rich ana poor.
Therefore every one should now be-
! gin TO save for the rainy day" and
the hard times which may come upon
all at any time.
The only way 20 save is 10 econom-
| lie and cut of unnecessary expenses
and wasteful ways, and live the good
]
and thrifty life, and put their savings
regularly, in the Liberty Loan Bonds
from time to time. Our American peo-
pie have been living at too fast a pace
and in expensive a way.
The French people have never done
so. hut have always been economical
frugal and thrifty. and consequently
