For the benefit of those who have not invest
ed in Liberty bond the United States govern
ment, through the treasury department, has is
sued a statement showing how these bonds meet
all the essentials of good investment
l. Security of princpa-the wealth of the
whole nation is behind them.
2. Security of income-The interest is part
of the governments expense; should the govern
ment fail not even gold and silver would be of
value.
3. Fair income return percent is fair
return on such security; bonds are also converti-
BILE into others of higher rate, if issued.
a. Marketability-United States bonds are
very active in open market.
5. Value as collateral-greatest of any Sc
curity having the credit of the United States
back Of them.
6. Tax exemption-exempt from all taxes up
to $4,000 except estate inheritance taxes.
z. Freedom from care-registered in the
name of the holder and the government will send
interest direct semi-annually.
8. Acceptable duration-Period of loan is
considered an advantage-payable within life
time of young person, and to heirs of an older
person.
g. Acceptable denomination-issued in $50
$780, $500, $1,000 and mutiples of $1,000.

war bonds have increased in value after the end
of the war, and there is every reason to believe
these bonds will do likewis.

Money Makes the Wheels Go Round

Without cash neither commerce nor war can
be carried on, says the Treasury Department.
That is why the United States government is
floating a second Liberty bond issue. The de-
partment explains the purpose of the Liberty
Loan follows:
There are two ways by which government
can raise money to conduct its busness-by tax
alton and by bonds.
When taxes are levied every man must pay
whether he can afford to not when bonds are
sold each man may invest only the amount he
can afford.
The bond issue is far more just to the salaried
man and small wage Garner but it also gives the
opportunity to evade assistance to the govern
ment if man is SO inclined
Uncle Sam has implicit confidence in the
people of this country, in their loyalty and pa
triotism He believes that when he sends out
the word that money is needed, especially for so
worthy cause as equipping and provisioning the
gallant troops sent abroad there will be liberal
response Such was the case with the first Lib
erty loan, which was well oversubscribed It re-
mains to be seen how the second loan will fare.
There have been murmurings that the public
has not seized upon this bond issue with the
avidity expected. In some places this may be
true but throughout the seventh federal reserve
district the response has been gratifying and
those in charge of the campaign believe the loan
will be fully subscribed when the time limit
Oct. 27-expires.
Failure of the people to rally to the govern
r1ent with their surplus wealth in this time of
need may necessitate imposing of taxes
spread over the entire population of the nation.
Rally to your government and give the enemy
a knockout with an oversubscription to the S.
O00O00000 asked.
Liberty bonds are as strong as Gibraltar
We must finance our men who are fighting in
France.
Bond houses and banks handle Liberty bonds
as readily as cash.

THE PURR OF A CAT AND THE
SYMPATHY OF A SERVANT

do not know how long l sat look
Ing dumbly at the shattered pieces Of
glass, all that was left of my treasured
vase. / was stunned at the storm Of
anger in Dicky which I had aroused
finances, and my determination to
earn some money of my own.
It seemed ages before / stirred.
Then I bent to pick up the pieces Of
glass At my movement the kitchen
door opened swiftly and Katie rushed
in. I had a sudden sick knowledge
that she had been listening and look
ing during Dicky's outburst
ooh, poor Missis Graham" she
crooned, coming over to me and put
ting her arms around me. you not
feel bad for dot. Dot noting for
Meester Graham. He mean noting.
Many time l see heem mad, he trow

giggled remiriscently
but he got over dot mad joost as

hee he come back, he say, Oh, 1 so
sorry, | nevatre, nevaire do eet again

''You not feel bad. Man like dot if
you not do eseryting dey want, and If
you do all times vat dey want, notimes
vat you want, den dey tink you are

Through all my natural shrinking
from sympathy Of any kind, and my
distaste of wing servant know any
thing of my affairs, the consciousness
of this girls hearty, sincere feeling
sooth ed me, while her homely philos-
ophy fitted in with my reflections.
Thank you, Katie I said. "Will
you kindly brush up these pieces be
fore you go?'
She brought the broom and dustpan
gathered up the pieces, carried them
to the kitchen, returned and made a
pretense OF Strengthening up the liv
ing room, changing the position OF
several chairs, and arranging the
books and magazines. Evidently she
had something on her mind. Finally
she came close to me.
"Oh, say, Missis Graham, l no like
leave you here alone tonight. Besides
l scared go home every night" A
shrewd look came into her face. She
hesitated COR q moment. Reading hei

would invent to cover her desire tc

How did he look. Katie?" | asked
half smilingly in spite of my heartache
"Oh, a great beeg man, with beee

determined to paint sufficiently
strong picture now she had seized the
brush "Hees eyes like dis at me,
