Liberty Loan Bonds Are Like
the Rock of
Ages

This story is told of a New York
fnancier whose shrewdness and judg-
ment made him respected among even
the money kings of Wall Street. Sew
eral years ago an acquaintance ex-
pressed his surprise at the report tnat
he had sold out his holdings in COM
pany with which he had been long
identified and which was understood
to be extremely prosperous.
"The report is true" said the hnan-
cier. 81 have sold"
But" protested his friend, I'VE all
thought that was bonanza. 1t pays
enormous dividends, doesn't it?'
Thirty per cent" returned the n
nancier.
Gee, whiz! Why did you SELF"
"I want my principal" said the
financier dryly.
The following year that company
ceased paying dividends.
This story is particularly applicable
to the present time. Many enterprises
that have been profitable will find 1t
difficult to meet the conditions which
are arising now. Whether the war be
long or short, this is bound to be
time of readiustment. For the gam
blers there may still be allurement IN
the showing made up to now by Vari-
GUS enterprises whose stocks are
Haunted in the public marts. The pru-
dent, however, will realize that the in
evitable readjustments which must
follow the disturbed conditions arising
from the war demand unusual caution
in any kind of investment now. To
those who have half an eye for the fu-
ture. Just one enterprise is bound to
appeal to them as the Rock Of Ages.
That is the United States Of America
Only the victory of the Kaiser and the
other Powers of Darkness can bank
rupt that, and no American with one
drop Of red blood in his veins VIII ad-
NIT such a possibility.
Liberty Loan Bonds will be selling
at a premium when many or the so
called gilt-edged securities Of today
will be useful only as melanchoiy
souvenirs Of imprudence. Liberty
Loan Bonds pay an honest interest
They are convertible into the new ls-
sues which must follow If this war
continues, and which very likely VIII

DER THE DIRECTION OF MRS. A,
M. TOWNSEND, WIFE OF PREsI-
DENT TOWNSEND HAVE CON-
PLETED THEIR ANNUAL TOUR.
The Tour Made a Memorable Epoch
in the History of Roger Williams
University.

Four years ago when the financial
condition of Roger Williams was dis
tressing with the growing institut on's
larger proportions, and the resources
could not meet the demands of the
school; with new buildings to be paid
for, the salaries of teachers to be
provided, and a student to1y to take
care of, these things bore heavily
upon the president. The crisis had
come. The clouds of despair were
lowering The way was dark. Mrs
Townsend and eight young men and
women volunteered to band them
selves together and sacrificed their
tire in school to go o"t and raise
funds for the school. Their first trip
covered about two hundred miles. The
next year West Tennessee was COW

Arkansas, Alabama, Kentucky, Ohio.

OVATION GIVEN
NEGRO OFFICERS
STUDENTS OF FISK HONOR CAPT.
BOUTTE- THREE LIEUTEN-
ANTS ALSO HONORED-ALL
TRAINED AT DES MONIES.

OF wide spread interest to the large
alumni of Fisk University were the eX-
ercises held in Livingston Hall on
Wednesday noon when the enule
teaching corps and students body OF
Fisk University met to pay Their
respec.s to four of its graduates who
have returned to their Alma mato
bringing commissions as officers in the
Army of the United States Of Amecl-
ca.
Fisk University bears the distinc-
ton of being possibly the most polen-
tial force in the shaping of the destiny
of the colOrel citizens of the United
States. Her sons and daughters have
taken first place in the literary,
scientific, musical and religious pro-
gress of AfrO-Americans and it was
only fitting that when the destreSs
signial of the nation they loved was
flashed to every corner Of this great
and glorious country that her sons
should be among the first to report
for duty.
, The period of training just closed
at the officers training camp at De
Moire, Iowa, will always stand as a
monument to the ability and integri-
ty of trained AfrO-Americans.
The men registered at the Camp
weer the flower of the manhood OF
the race. Clean, stalwart, intelligent,
efficient, capable, they were a credit
to the race which produced them and
a lasting glory to the institution which
trained and nodded them. They el-
tered this camp because OF patriotism
and love of country, a love all the
more wonderful because denied emolu-
ments. They benefited by the vigor-
GUS training and strict discipline.
The exercises honoring these men
were presided over by President Nc
f[inZie who has endeared himself to
the Afro American citi2enry of the
, city because of his firm faith in their
past progress and his optimistic fore
cast of their future greatness. The
pride and earnestness as Captain
Bouttee, 1t, Mash, 1t. Proctor and
1t. Cameron told of their experiences
can not be described in words. The
: applause was deagening as each officer
declared that they were glad to hold
) commission sin the Army Of this
great country not because of personal
profit, but because Of the credit that
will accrum to Afro Americans yet
unborn.
