in love. Helen Jerome Eddy, who gave
such a remarkably good performance

Mr.. Peters is excellent as the young

sincerity which is most convincing.

RuY A LIBERTY BOND.

n SeCOnu uTlNe lOT SdlS VI LiD
erty Bonds is on. Mexico, and Van
dalia, and Laddonia, and Audrain
county subscribed most literally
for these securities in the first
campaign a number of weeks ago.
We feel that our readers are inter
ested in this second sale, especially
If you should have any money to
loan.
There is little use to discuss the
patriotic phase of this subject, for
we all realize the great demands
on the Government in a financial way
at the present time. We appreciate
the cost OF equipping and maintain
ing an army. We realize the tre-
mendous expense necessary to build
up our avy and marine in order to
transport the men to the fighting
front. We can easily see the necesst-
ty of raising money to finance the
hundreds of little things connected
with the cost Of coducting a war
on the scale upon which this pres
ent war is being conducted.
During the first campaign the
bonds ranged in denomination from
$50 upward. The new issue Of
bonds will be placed as low as $5,
in order to allow a more general
subscription. Practically every cit
izen in the country will find it pos
sible If he so wills, to purchase
bond. Savings may be accumulated
thru the purchase of stamps, In
books issued for the purpose, until
the price of certificate can be put
by. This savings certificate plan
says Secretary McADoo, Twill give
every man, woman and child In
America, no matter how small his
means, the opportunity of doing
something to help the Government.
The money is to be spent for the
benefit of the whole people, and it is
for the interest of the people thai
the loan be fully subscribed or over
subscribed. The interests at stake
in the success of the loan are the In
terests of the entire population. EV
cry banker, every merchant, every
manufacturer, every business man
every farmer. every investor, and the
owners of other property or securi
ties of any kind, are working in theil
own interest and for their own ben
eft when they work for the success
of the Liberty Loan.
And, as an investment, the Loan II
practical. That the bonds are gilt
edged is shown by the fact that thu
former issue is selling for a premium
on the New York Exchange. Th'
new bonds will bear an interest rat'
of 4 per cent without taxation, which
is the equal of 6 per cent on an!
market. They are made for lont
period of time, insuring perma
nent income; yet they can be dis
posed of at practically any bank
for face value, If the purchaser feel
the need of money.
The purchase of a Liberty Bond
then, is more than a patriotic duty
Without forgetting that when pur
chasing a bond you are making
sound and practical investmen
which would receive the approval o
the most conservative fnanciers, 1
is also we'll to remember that yo'
are giving much needed aid to tn
country that has made your success
possible.
