after the 18th day of June, 1892,
at the option of the Government,
and if this option is not exercised
the bonds will run full 80 years
and become due June Is, 1947.
The bonds are exempt both as
to principal and interest from all
taxation, national, state, county,
or municipal. except the inherit
ance tax, which is really not a
tax on the property, but on the
transfer of property by will or in
heritance.
The bonds are to be sold at
par; that is. dollar for dollar, no
premium and no discount. They
are to be sold by the Treasurer of
the United States, and by all
Federal Reserve banks. But all
banks, National and State, post
offices, and express companies
have been designated as agents
of the Government to receive ap-
plications for these bonds. 1t is
almost as easy to purchase one
of these bonds as it is to get a
post-ofice money order.
1t is not necessary to pay cash
in full for a bond, One can pay
down 2 per cent. of the purchase
price on application that is, 81
for a $50 bond, So for a $lOO
bond, etc. is per cent. on July
25, 1917; 20 per cent. July 80,
1917; 80 per cent. August Is,
1917; and the balance, 80 per
cent. August 81, 1917.
WHAT A GOVERNMENT BOND is.
The Government of the United
States has two methods of rails
ing money. One is by taxation.
The other is by the sale of bonds
which is a method of borrowing
money.
The Government bond is the
printed promise of the Govern
ment to pay back the sum of
money at a certain time, and to
pay interest on it at regular in
tervals until it is repaid.
The Government borrows mon
ey in this way only. after it has
been given the right to do so by
act of Congress approved by the
President, and the terms of the
loan are set out in the act.
Back of the promise of the
Government stands the honor of
the Government and all its tax
ing resources. Really the whole
wealth of the Nation stands be-
hind this solemn promise of the
Government to pay.
This makes a United States
Government bond the safest in
vestment in the world. If the
bond of the United States Gov
ernment is not safe no property
in the United States is safe. If
the United States can not pay its
bonds, it is hardly probable that
it will be able to protect the cit
izens in their other rights.
The Liberty Loan Bonds of
1917 are especially attractive in
vestments. Not only have they
this absolute safety characteris-
tic of all United States bonds but
they are tax free not only from
all existing taxes but from any
war tax that may subsequently
be levied. No State, city, nor
county may tax them. The in
heritance tax of the United
States and of some States may
affect their transfer after death
of the owner by will or by in
heritance.
Another advantage these Lib
erty Loan Bonds possess is that
if the Government issues bonds
later on during this war at a
higher rate of interest the hold
ers of Liberty Loan Bonds will
be allowed to exchange at par
their bonds for bonds bearing
the higher rate of interest.

Representative Henry T. Helgesen.
of North Dakota. died at the Garfield
Memorial Hospital yesterday after an
illness of ten days.
He was stricken with appendicitis
three days before Congress convened
for the extra session ON April 2, but
he had rallied from the operation and
his chances of recovery appeared
bright. On Sunday he began to sink.
and 1t was soon apparent that his
death was q, matter of hours.
Representative Helgesen was born
In Iowa He received his education
In the schools and business college
of Decorah. Iowa, and after gradua-
tion entered the mercantile business
in that town. In 1887 he removed to
Dakota, then q territory. and located
at Milton. He engaged in the hard
ware, furniture and lumber business
and was successful in all ventures
Representative Helgesen retired in
1906 to devote his time to his farming
interests. He was married in 1880 to
Bessie H. Nelson, of Decorah. Iowa, by
whom he is survived with three sons
and three daughters.
Representative Helgesen was the
first commissioner of agriculture and
labor in the new State of North Da-
kota, and was long identified with
progressive politics in that State. He
was elected as a Representative at
large in 1910 and as a district repre-
sentative in 1912. 1914 and 1916.
The body will be shipped to his
home for interment with an escort
from the House and Senate attending
