ONLY A FEW DAYS M(DRE
OF OUR IJNRIYALED
DICTIONARY OFFER

A word is the symbol of an idea.
One may have the most original and
forceful ideas-but without words to
express them, they are utterly value
less 1t might be said that there are
no new ideas under the sun. In the
earliest reeorded writing from the
Sanskrit, the Chinese, the Hebrew, the
Greek or the Latin tongues, We find
the same thought again and again. 1t
is the expression only, that varies.
Each age, each nation must evolve its
own form of expression, or symbolism
in its literary art. The universal
mind in this way frees itself by the in
dividual genius which has caught its
meaning. Thus words may be said to
be the tools of thought. Word study,
therefore, is one of the most impor-
tant elements Of education. And the
dictionary which gives the derivation,
the different shades of meaning. the
transition in modes of spelling; in
short, the history Of the word, is the
one indispensable workshop for the
worker in words. Among all the eras
of dictionary making, the present ex-
els. And there is no excuse for any
one not to possess valuable diction-
ary. The New Universities Dictionary,

LIBERTY BONDS ARE SAFEST
ALL BONDS FREE FROM NORMAL
 TA&
Five Thousand Dollar Investment Ex- empt from All Tax Except
 Inheritance.

The Second Liberty Loan-s3, ,O00,- o00.o0O-is receiving the hearty sup port and cooperation of the citizens or the Eighth Federal Reserve District. The Liberty Loan Organization, Tn charge of the placing of the allotment of the Eighth Federal Reserve District, has been frequently asked to explain the exemption of $5,0Oo-investment.
 Not the least important feature of the new s11,500.000,000 bond issue, which Is the biggest piece of financing legislation Tn the worlds history Is the tax statas of the new bonds. Some important bankers believe that the combination of 4 per cent and ex- emption from all taxes of the interest on Sb,0O0 of the bonds in themselves guarantee the success of the sale.
 The interest on bonds owned in ex- cess of s5,000 of principal is likewise exempt from normal income taxes, but the supertaxes apply on holdings above s5,000, provided the holders total tax able income places him iD the super tax class. The own ,t s10,000 of the bonds, would there } pay no tax on the first s20o of i St, but the sec ond S200 might be ubject to super taxes. In other wo the amount Of interest over and above s200 from the bonds becomes general income, in the same category as dividends on stocks, subject to the ascending scale of su- pertax rates which begin at S5.000.
 ITO the small subscriber the bonds will be entirely exempt from all taxes. Having no other income an investor can purchase as much as s1S0,000 of the new bonds without paying any in- come tax. This means annual inter est of S5,200. The first S200 Is en- tirely exempt and the remaining S6.000 not being abSve the supertax limit, is likewise non-taxable. Of course this is an extreme example, and Is predi- cated upon the receipt of no other income"
 "A government bond Is the safest investment in the world; 1t is as good as currency and yet better, because the government bond bears interest and currency does not. No other In vestment compares with 1t for safety, ready convertibility into cash. and unQuestioned availability as collateral security for loans in any bank in the United States. s.'-Secretary McAdoo.
