Liberty Loan bonds may be exchanged
for them at par.
The Farmers and >the Liberty Loan.
One aspect of the $5,OOO,Ooo,oo o
loan, the Liberty of Loan Of 1917, that
the farmers of America may well
consider is that a very great portion
OF the money raised by the bone issue
will come dicertly into the pockets OF
the farmers of the nation.
All Of the money advanced to u
allies will be expended in the United
States an das they are making all OF
their own munitions practically all OF
the money advanced them Will De
spent for products of the farms-for
cotton for clothing and high explos-
ives, wool for clothing and leather Tor
shoes; but by far the greater part OF
the money loaned our allies will be
expended here for food products.
In a few months the United States
will have under arms 100000 men
and 100000 reserves in trainings; so
including the navy there will be 2,oOO,-
600 men that our government will
feed and clothe. This will make the
United States government by far the
largest single customer the farmers
of America have.
The secretary of the treasury IS
employing such methods in handling
the loan that no community will be
denuded of money by reason OF the
Liberty Loan bond purchases. The
money will be left in local banks and
a the government purchases food and
supplies the money raised by the
bond issue will pass back into the
pockets of the people.
The farmers of the country should
subscribe literally to the Liberty Loan
bonds. They get the safest investment
in the world and their money supplies
their best customer the funds to pur-
chase their products. This is politi-
ca ECONOMY the wisdom of which is
plain to everyone.
The Worlds Premier Investment.
The law authorizing the issue of
the Liberty Loan bonds of 1917 in
vests these bonds with certain ad-
vantages which no other bonds in the
world, be they national, state, munich
pal o. corporate, posses, and makes
them in many respects a uniquely de-
sirable investment.
These bonds are not taxable by the
nation, state, county OF city; o will
any war tax subsequently levied by
the United States during this war
affect them. State, county and city
taxes often amount to as much as
three cents on the dollar; the exemp.
ton from taxation Of these bonds
makes them in such cases equivalent
to a 6R per cent investment. An
investment absolutely safe bringing
iii 6k per cent is exceptionally desir-
able.
TIE holders Of these Liberty Loar
bonds are given the right, should the
United States subsequently during
this wal issue bonds bearing a highe1
rate of interest, to exchange thei1
Liberty Loan bonds at par for SINH
lar bonds bearing the higher rate
Holders of Liberty Loan bonds ar
assured that their investments will
not be impaired in market value b,
coming in competition with later is
sued bonds of the government bearin,
a higher rate Of interest.
There is yet another quality at
taching to these bonds which Civ
them a worldwide value and charac
ter which not other bonds in tn
world possess, and which will nc
only create the widest possible marke
for their sale when normal time
come again but which will stabiliz
their value throughout the worlt
This is best expressed by the Ne
York Times:
Zone merit of the Liberty Loan
the market which it will have. n
other bond will have equal Walt
throughout the nation, or a like int
national value. No other bond can |
bought and sold on a universal qu'
tation and in leading centers in ar
amounts without spelling the marke
