NO sLACKERs IN BOND BUYING.
Polk County'S Purchases Total Si6,-
 050. Reported by Three Banks.

It is very evident that the people of Polk county were no more in- clined to be slackers buying Liberty bonds than were the young men when il came to registration. At the meeting of the local bankers held last Saturday night it was sug- gested that a safe goal to set would be siG,000, and toward that end eff forts were directed. When the re- turns were made to the Reserve Bank at st. Louis Thursday night it was found that this amount had almost been doubled, the total amount subscribed up to that time having been Si6,050. Of this amount S9, 100 was secured by the First Ma tional Bank, si,200 by the Planters State Bank and g., i50 by the Farm CTS and Merchants Bank.

LIBERTY BONDS OFFER SMALL
INVESTOR DISTINCT ADVANTAGE

The second issue of Liberty Bonds
now being offered to the public is OF
exceptional interest to the small inves-
tor for the reason that they bear four
per cent interest and are exempt from
all state, county, city, income, excess
profit or war profit taxes that may now
be in force or that may be levied later.
This is only true where the amount of
bonds held by an individual or cor
poration is not in excess of $5,OOO.OO.
Where the value Of bonds held is in
excess of that amount, they are not
exempt from income, excess profit or
war profit taxes.
This is one time where the small
investor gets the best of it, and this
feature is expected to make the bonds
very popular with those who have
comparatively small amount OF money
to invest.
AS a matter of fact, four per cent
investment under existing conditions
that is free from tax is more attrac-
tive than mortgages or other high
class investments bearing a much
higher rate of interest. The Govern
ment very properly considers that any
one who is able to buy large numbers
of bonds is able to pay a higher tax
than is the person who can only invest
a small amount. :.
South Should Buy HeaVil&t.
The South is more prosperouS man
at any time in recent years. Every
thing that is raised here can be sold
readily at a price that a few years
ago would have been considered I'M
reasonable. No section of the country
has been more liberal in its contribu-
ton of men, but this contribution OF
flesh and blood will be wasted unless
we are equally liberal with our money.
When the first Liberty Bond issue
was sold, the South's subscription was
not what it should have been. This
was largely because Of the fact that
Southern people have never been in
the habit Of buying bonds of any kind
to the extent that prevails in the
North and East. We are now more
familiar with securities of this kind,
and It is expected that our record on
this second issue will be very much
better.

LIBERTY BONDS THE MOST
CONSERVATIVE INVESTMENT

Liberty Loan bonds are the safest
investments in the world, and the most
conservative bond buyers in the coun-
try will be the heaviest purchasers OF
every loan fioated." says ]. A. McCord,
governor of the Sixth Federal Reserve
Bank. He added, however, that these
specialists would not have the field to
themselves in the present war loan, as
they did to Q large extent in the first
issue.
The great majority Of the American
people were at that time unacquainted
with bonds and securities, according to
Mr.. McCord, and needed to be educat-
ed. That they have received this edu-
cation, he said, was evidenced by the
interest shown by our laboring class
in the Second Liberty Loan.
