THE LIBERTY
LOAN" AND
YOUR DUTY

Duty calls upon every one to take
a part of tn new Liberty Loan. !"
Denominations OF the bonds have
been arranged to meet purses OF all
zeS. Full details of the issue have
been decided upon and announced.
Therefore, readers of this newspaper
are herewith given tull information
aus to how they may, with the least
trouble, take their share of the new
bonds which are the safest of any in
the world and which it must be
borne in mind are at any moment the
equivalent of cash to the owner.
Make up your mind how much
money you wish TO invest.
Go to the nearest bank, and tell
them that you wish to buy so many
bonds.
They will receive you pleasantly,
and treat you well, no matter what
amount you wish to invest and that
they never knew you before makes no
difference.
You can pay in full for bonds, the
institution will give you receipt
therefor, and deliver to you the
bonds when issued.
They bear interest from June 10,
1917, and interest is paid semi
annually on December 10 and June 10
of each year.
The bonds run for thirty years,
but may be redeemed by the gov
ernment at the expiration of fifteen
years.
They are free of taxes OF all kinds.
That Is, they yield you 31a per cent
per annum.
If any war bonds, bearing a
higher rate of interest, have to be
issued, these bonds will be exchange
able for the new issue, dollar for
dollar, on terms prescribed by the
Secretary of the Treasury.
If you have a safe deposit box, buy
coupon bonds, issued with coupon
sheets, for $50, 500, $500 and $1,000.
These are instantly convertible into
cash.
If you have no safe deposit box,
buy registered bonds of 800, $500
81 900 $1,000 S@U,J and $780,
900. 1t takes time and trouble to
sell a registered bond, but it can
be done in a few hours.
If you wish to spread your pay
ments over sixty days, you can 80
arrange with the bank, but the best
way, particularly for small amounts,
is to pay the price in full, taking a
receipt therefor.
You are making no sacrifice in
buying these bonds. You are simply
lending to your own government, for
lberty's sake, some OF your money
on which you receive a fair rate of
interest considering the times.

THING HE FOUND IN CITY.

Making trip to Pensacola to see
a friend while on the eve of closing

more than 200 people, was a fixture.
The aggregation, one of the highest
class, and one of the LARGEST of its
nature on the road, will probably
reach Pensacola late in December and
occupy the site of the Clubbs ware
house, where there is plenty of grorn1
-oom, where railroad tracks are avail
able, and, above all, Mr. Fox said.
where the people are so congenial.
And, about after. all, that's about the
most pleasant feature of our coming
to Pensacola. I was taken up with
the site when / ran over to see my
disappointed in not findin~ hir1 >es.e;

of a fellow, for he treated us finely,
and am sure we will not regret pse-
lecting this city to the exclusion of
other competing Sites
Mr.. Fox stated that the shows
would arrive in December and remain
until about the first half of March,
spendino probably ten weeks here.
They will start their season at this
point, routing their shows over their
selected circuit, with every probabil.
ity of again spending the winter in
the place which so impressed the head
of the great carnival company.
