Cii1Fl rom all taxes, except 1nnefls
t2ncc and estate taxes, so that they
yield an absolutely net income of 3H
per cent.
If before the end of the war, gov-
ernment bonds bearing higher interest
should be issued, you can exchange
your Liberty Bonds for them.
IN MULT1PLEs OF $50. !
These bonds have been purposely
!made in r2ultiples of $50 so that every
one might have this opportunity to be-
come Government Bond Holder.
Liberty Loan Bonds mature in 80
years and are redeen1able in IS years.
Bonds in multiples of $1OO may be reg
istered, so that the income comes to
you automatically.
The last great Government Bond is
sue sold for par in 1898 and for 11OM
in 1900.
FOR EVERY PERSON IN EVERY
FAMILY.
A Liberty Loan Bond is the IDEAL
investment for every member of the
family.
For those in the family who are Just
starting to get ahead, Liberty Loan
Bonds afford a protected Investment
where their savings are profitable and
secure.
Why not buy Liberty Bonds for the
baby now and provide for his college
education?
Liberty Bonds are the best basis
for credit in the world. When you
find yourself short of cash or when
collections are slow and you need
cash to get your discounts, lust pre-
sent your Liberty Bonds to your bank
or and he will take them as security
for loan. He'll hold the bonds until
you are ready to repay your note
when he'll return them to you-and all
the while they will be paying you in
terest.
Believing that it is the wish of this
country to nave this opportunity to in
vest and receive interest for the 6nan-
clal support they give in this war, rath-
er than to carry the entire amount by
taxation, your government is offering
you this chance today. This is solid
business proposition-a chance to in
vest if1 the best securities in the world
while at the same time performing as
patriotic an act as you can do. Should
this issue not be completely subscribed
the burden OF taxation will probably
have to be assumed.

greatest war of liberation the world
has ever known. Make your subscrip-

VHAT AMERICA may
strike the winning
l. blows for the freedom
and democracy of the world,
your government calls today
for financial volunteers.
You who wish to see the War
ended quickly-you who desire
the prosperity and safety of Amer

offers today the opportunity to
make the best financial and patri-
otic investment of your life.
To you Secretary of the Treasury
McAdoo says: "The greatest imme-
diate service the American people can
render in this War for universal lib
erty throughout the world is to fur

cution. This bond issue is the first
step. I earnestly bespeak the Coop
Grafton of every citizen throughout the
length and breadth of the land in this
great service of patriotism"
In asking you to subscribe to the
Liberty Loan your Government is not
asking you to spend your money. In
stead it holds out to you splendid
opportunity to save ard invest.
When you invest in a Liberty
Bond'' you get a signed promise
backed by the total resources OF the
richest nation in the world-a wealth
of $250,000,O0OOOO.
HOW THE FINANCIAL VOLUN-
TEER AIDS HIS COUNTRY,
The Liberty Loan is to be used to
extend credit to our Allies, so that thev
may purchase our products and ma
terials. Not dollar of this loan will
leave this country or pay for other
than American products. The fnan-
cial volunteer is enabling his country
to extend this credit, and to market
more American goods.
The extension of this credit by our
government is going to quicken the
pulse of American business for years
to come. It makes Us the biggest
creditor of Our Allies and binds them
more firmly than. could any treaties

increases the demand for what we lave
to sell and speeds up production.

COLLEGE FRESHMEN
TEAMS TOO STRONG
Northeast High and st. Joe
Cancel With Princeton and
Penn-Need Practice

Under ordinary circumstances the college
freshmen teams are too strong for the high
and preparatory mines. but when the school,
boys have only had few days outdoors
and are sadly in need of practice, why try
to play the collegans? Northeast High
and st. Joseph's College see no reason for
such early games, and, therefore, cancella-
tions were in order.
The Northeast High hikers, who left Tren-
ton early this morning en- route to Prince
ton to see their school play the college
freshmen, will be disappointed, for the
Northeast High officials Cancelled this game
late Yesterday afternoon, Coach Harry Sny-
der, Of the I.ehigh avenue squad, called off
this game because his proteges lacked
practice.
St Joseph's College also considered it un-
wise to play the Penn freshmen so early
in the season. and the game scheduled for
this afternoon has been postponed, until
Friday. April l3.
Northeast High will practice hard for the
game with Penn Charter School tomorrow
afternoon at Queen Lane. This is the sec
ond game for the Quakers and the initial
contest for the Archives. Penn Charters
showing I'm the Penn Freshmen game cam
not be taken seriously. for this was no
test for comparison from school stand
point and the Charter nine may be very
strong.

AS STILL WEAK

Mix-Up in Signals, With

ATLANTA, Ga. April 3.--Connie Nacli's
enigma, Frank Thrasher by name. emerged
from secluson yesterday and in a couple of
places showed evidences of being a real
pall player. For the first time i'm many

Thrasher was expected TO he or ,re,t

MS trusty bat. but his work thus far has
not caused much ursiue enthusiasm. His
position at the plate cannot be improved
upon but position does not count in the
ooN scores. He always is late in swinging
ana his hits, with one exception have been
very weak. As a fielder he is class n but
connie hopes to teach him a few tricks
which will help his game.

COMMISSIONERS Did WELL.

In granting the spur-track facilities on
jefferson street, that our wholesalers might
receive the advantage of competitive rail-
road freights, the commissioners did only
the obvious thing; but it is for the clause
inserted in the franchise, prohibiting the
transfer of grants to other firms, that they
deserve especial commendation The pro-
vision was made when it was discovered
that similar spur track privileges have been
decided by the grantees to certain railroad,
whose power has been correspondingly in
creased. Not only are the present grantees
prohibited from conveying their privileges
to any other corporation, but if the firm to
whom the privilege is extended ever ceases
to use the tracks, the property reverts auto
matically to the city.
Too much of the peoples property has
already been lost to corporation control by
careless methods. Pensacola is on the make
property-and privileges-will be worth
more tomorrow than they are today; that
our city does not control all its switching
and terminal facilities, is matter of regret
let us hope, however, that the leak has beer
definitely stopped.

THE MANN ACT.

Although the decision was not unani-
NOUS one, the Supreme Court has held that
the Mann White Slave Act is valid The
decision will astonish no one, for if Con
gress has the right to regulate the inter
state transportation of merchandise, as was
held in the recent decision unfolding the
Webb-Kenyon anti-shipping bill, it most
certainly exercises similar control over
the transportation of passengers from state
to state.
Designed to check the traffic of white
slavers, the Mann Act has been a potent
weapon for blackmail in the hands of un-
scrupulous women, as the Chicago expose a
few months ago showed not to mention
minor cases. Whatever the punishment that
should be visited upon immoral escapades, .
certainly that punishment shout dnot
take the form Of bribery levied by rascals a
hundred times more debased than the Gull
prit, nor is it logical to class him with the
wretch who makes of the vice mercenary
undertaking. The Mann Act should be re-
pealed and law substituted, more accu-
rately drawn.

WANTED: ARMY BASES.

Major General Wood, commander of the
department of the east, is making tour of
the south, investigating possible sites for
army bases. He is now in Georgia; and
after visiting North and South Carolina,
will return to Washington, whence it is
reported he will go to Texas, returning via
the Gulf Coast and Florida
Preparations such as these, indicate the
development of the United States Army.
One of the points discussed by General
Wood on the present trip is the concentra-
ton of the regular army units in divisional
camps. Whether universal service is adopt
ed, or whether the standing army will be
enormously augmented, certainly the mill
tary organization will be on bigger and
therefore better qualified scale than ever
before.
The location of the concentration camp
in Florida would seem to be inevitable. And
in all Florida, there is no more ideal place
than Pensacola or its immediate environs.
Abundant sites are available and trans
portation facilities by water and rail are
exceptional Not only is Pensacola of strate-
| sic Importance with respect to the Carib-
| bean, but it is also centrally located with
respect to the entire southeast, including
Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, South Caro-
lima, and Florida.
