Why You Should Buy Bonds

THE United States is the richest
strongest country in the world,
and it is not asking anybody, not
even it's own citizens, to give it mon
ey.
1t wants to BORROW your money.
1t will pay it back with good interest.
There does not exist in the entire
world, a security so safe as United
States government bonds.
For thirty-eight years the United
States has never issued bond at a
higher interest rate than four per
cent. The last issue above four per
cent was in 1879.
Four per cent bonds of the govern
ment in ordinary times have sold at
la to 119.
A one thousand dollar bond
of the United States government
could be sold through these thirty
eight years at anywhere from S1140
to s1190.
If you have the gold or the paper
money hidden away, it brings you in
nothing.
If you have per cent bonds run
ming twenty-five years, the interest
you will get in that time will be equal
to the full amount of the bonds. And
you still have the bonds that the gov
eminent will pay off at full face value
in gold.
No state, city, county or even the
government itself can tax you on
these bonds unless you own more than
$4,000 worth.
But if you own bonds, and you need
money, you do not have to wait TWEEN
ty-five years. Any bank will buy
them from you or loan on them vir-
tually to the full amount. The inter
est coupons that are attached to the
bonds can be taken off as the interest
periodically becomes due, and any
bank, or the postmaster in any town
will pay them in cash.
The second Liberty loan of 1917 is
the greatest investment opportunity
ever put before the people.
Even if a man looks at it merely
as a business proposition, it is the
best thing in the world today. But
when you consider that by loaning
your money to the government at this
time, you are doing a service of 10y
atty and putting yourself on record |
as a patriot, it offers to every man,
woman or child who wants to enroll |
as a patriot, the opportunity of a |
lifetime.

AND CAKE
Red Cross Needs Both Fruit Cake
and Candy for Soldiers.

The Red Cross plans to send a
Christmas packet to every soldier
and sailor in France and environments.
Gem county chapters share of this
million is so. These must be in the
supply houses at Seattle by Novem-
Der so as to reach France by Christ
mas. The maximum cost is to be
s1.50 each, which means that s75 must
be raised Immediately.
The Catholic congregation is CIV
ing Halloween dance, the proceeds
of which will help finance this. So
when the committee asks you to buy
ticket remember your dollar will
almost pay for some soldiers Christ
mas present. Those not caring to
help in this way may help by contri-
buttons or donation of a fruit cake
made in the oblong tin, or by q box
of hard candy or salted nuts.

will then be turned over to the secre-
tary-treasurer. The president will
then purchase the bonds. The High
school deserves congratulations for
this patriotic movement.
The school, generally, regrets the
loss of Mr.. Ross as janitor. His SER
vices were very satisfactory. But
Mr.. Fountain is rapidly learning the
work. 1t is fortunate that a good
man was secured to step right into
the place made vacant by the resig-
nation of Mr.. Ross.
Miss Rundstrom's room won the first

Parents are asked to cooperate
with the teachers in preventing ir-
regular attendance, as it interferes

grant me space to explain to your

plies evidence that the lady was not
an accredited Christian Science prac-

justification for large charges in large
affairs. since God and not the prac-
titioner "doeth the works" The prac-
titioner's charge is intended only to
furnish him a modest living, which will
permit him to devote himself to this
