MUM OF per cent. What do you
suppose the liberty bonds would sell
for il the war should end before
Christmas? There would be wild
scramble to get them for investment
and speculative purposes never be-
fore known in financial history.
1t all depends upon how long the
war lasts as to what premium the
liberty bonds will bring in the Sc
curity market. Only war lasting
for several years will keep these Sc
curities down at par. Only a crush
ing defeat for the nation could force
them below par. If the war ends IN
six months they will soar in value
If il ends in a year. bankers say the
bonds should soon be selling at 1lO
and Us. 1t is hard to overestimate
the value of a tax exempt bond OF the
class of this one. The wise and fore
sighted investor is going to buy IL
berty bonds as an investment, entire
ly aside from any patriotic motive.

LIBERTY BONDS GILT EDGE.

One powerful argument in favor
of the liberty loan has never beer
employed as it should" said one o.
our leading bankers at the meeting il
Oskaloosa yesterday. THAT is tht
decided probability that these bonds
WIN sell well above par
Ut A bond salesman who knows his
business ought to have no difficulty
in disposing of liberty bonds, wher
ever there is money that is not work
ing. They are unquestionably and
obviously gilt edge investment. They
are:
The safest security on earth, hay
ing back of them the credit of the
worlds richest nation.
They are exempt from all taxes ex.
cept for Inheritance, pay 3h per cent
and are transferable into bonds pay
ing higher rate IL such are issued
later.
Where can better financial prop
ositioii be found Some of our 4 per,
cent government bonds now out have,

THE MAY DAY FETE
ANNUAL FESTIVAL AT PENN a
GREAT SUCCESS.

Fair weather favored the afternoon
program of Penn Colleges May Day
festivities, but rain last evening put
a damper on the night concert and
a small attendance was accorded the
closing entertainment.
The recital given by the Penn De-
partment of Music, yesterday after
noon was well attended, the Friends
church being filled. Many from down
town, and many out of town visitors
attended the program.
Both the afternoon and evening pro-
gram were excellently given. each
number being rendered skillfully. The
work of the students was highly COM
plimentary to the corps of instructors
of the music department.
Both concerts consisted of vocal
stringed instruments. The Penn Mad
| rigal Club also offered several attract
i've numbers.
Following the afternoon concert
Penn students, faculty and friends
formed in procession, and marched
down through the old campus across
/ the River Jordan" to the Promised
Land"
A tour of inspection led by the facul
ty members, who head the various
! building committees, preceded the
festivities on the new campus. The
new buildings now in the process OF
erection were described and their
equipment explained.
At the close of the inspection trip.
the crowd gathered about a beautiful
spot on the lawn on the north of the
new campus. Here the annual May
Day coronation took place, ...-
The procession headed by the Card
inal, Chase Conover, marched to the
throne of the May Queen. Dainty
Miss Helen Dye was crowned May
Queen. She wore beautiful light
flowing gown and was waited upon
by bevy of cute youngsters, also
dressed in snowy white.
A Japanese dance by the girls of
the Penn Academy followed, and this
in turn was followed by the May Pole
dance, by the young women of the
. college department. The dance was a
dainty affair and very pleasing to the
EYE.
A large booth on the campus sup
Piled the guests with refreshments
, and lunches. Many ate supper on the
new Penn College campus. Taken as
a whole the day was grand success.

FAVOR FREIGHT RATE RISE
Flood of Endorsements Being Receiv-
ed by State Railway Commits
sion-Few Against.

Dcs MOines, May eff the rec
ords of the Iowa railroads commits
sions office are a true indication of
conditions in the state, strong de-
mand exists in favor of granting the
railroads of the state the Is per cent
increase in freight rates they are
asking in Iowa.
From sixty to seventy letters are
being received daily indorsing the
requested increase, while only three
or four day are Directing.
Business interests of many de-
scriptions are represented in the in
dorsements of the higher rates.
The commission will open the
hearing on the request for higher
rates June ~. 1t is probable that
the case will require at least thirty
days to determine.
The commission in this instance
is sitting as judicial body, and will
not present evidence opposing the
increase. This will be left to in
terests opposed to the increase.
1t is considered very likely that
the decision of the interstate COM
merce commission in the hearing
now being conducted at Washington
upon similar request by the rail
roads for an increase in interstate
freight rates will have much to do
with the Iowa verdict.
