They Are Nontaxable.


These Liberty bonds are nontaxable.
If Il city, county or state tax on mans
property amounts to three cents on
the dollar, which is said not to be an
unusual tax. the bonds are said to be
equivalent to ordinary corporate bonds
or other investments bearing 615 per
cent The reason for this is that no
federal tax which war conditions later
may make necessary will affect the
bonds The only tax TO which they are
subject is an Inheritance tax, which ap-
plies to all property of all kinds what
Soever.
"Of the billions loaned to our allies"
an official statement declares, "none of
1t is going out of the United States to
be expended. Every cent of 1t is to be
used in this country for the purchase
of things needed for their armies and
navies. Much of the money which is
to be loaned to the allies will be spent
for cotton for clothing, and for explo-
sives, and much of 1t will be used In
the purchase of wool for clothing and
later for Shoes"
The president of the United States
and with him other high officials of
government, has said that every Ameri-
can who subscribes to the belief that
Americans should stand by their eoun-
try should subscribe to the Liberty
loan bond issue.

HOLD UP YOUR END
SLOGAN SUGGESTED TO ROUSE
INTEREST IN THE BUYING OF
LIBERTY BONDS.
STRENUOUS CAMPAIGN IS ON
Every American Will Be Shown 1t Is
His Patriotic Duty to Own at Least
One of These United States Sc
eurities.
BY EDWARD B. CLARK.

Washington.-Gov oihelals
have been looking for slogan to rouse
interest in the buying of Liberty Loan
bonds and also to Impress on Ameri-
cans that they should do whatever they
can to help their country.
"Do your bit" is an English express
sion, but II has been used 10 great eX-
tent in this country. II. 7. Stevenson
Of River Forest, H.. has suggested
Hold UP your end" as II good Aneri-
can expression and one with sutfi-
cient amount OF pepper in II.
BY whatever slogan or by whatever
other means the government directs at
tention to the Liberty loan, it may be
said that the campaign III behalf Of
this bond issue of the country Is one Of
the most strenuous ever engaged in by
the official representatives of the peo-
pie.
Washington holds that It is the pa
triotic duty Of every man who is able
TO do so TO buy a Liberty bond. They
are issued in various denominations,
beginning with bonds rs low as 500,
and the means of their purchase is
made easy. The government hopes
that this bond issue will be oyersub-
scribed.

Funds Should Come From All.

The government holds that the funds
to prosecute the war should come from
men and women of the nation ut large
and not from certain classes. The Of
ficials ask that all the newspapers of
the country fro- the smallest TO the
greatest shall work together in cam
paign giving the common cause 1.-THE
impetus and force of nationwide con
certed action and correlated effort
Robert W. Woolley. at one time di-
rector of the mint and newspaper
man of years standing, is the director
of the publicity bureau of the Liberty
Loan Of 1917. Il is the belief of Mr..
Woolley and of all the officials of the
treasury that the advantages of the
people to secure n prompt response in
the form Of purchase.
"What are the terms of the Liberty
loan bends?" asks Mr.. Woolley, and
then he gives this answer:
Liberty Loan bonds of the first is
sue of 100000 are TO bear date
of June To- 1917, and to run for 30
years except that the government re-
serves the right to buy them five years
after date. If this right is not exer-
cised by the government ID years from
date, the bonds will run the full 30
years.
"These bonds bear interest at 80 per
cent per annum and the interest is
payable semiannnally on the fifteenth
day of December and of June in each
VAIL.

CONSERVE SPACE
MELON SHIPMENT

In an effort to conserve car space
in the shipments of watermelons
shippers of the South are being
urged by the Interstate Commerce
Commission, through the L, & N,
railroad, and its agricultural agents
to make shipments with five tiers of
melons to the car instead OF four, as
is the custom.
The letter which has been sent out
states that experinSZts have been
conducted and that the proposition is
perfectly feasible, and offers some
relief from the car shortage, and
helps conserve equipment needed for
war purposes.
Continuing the letter states that
many of the largest melon dealers in
the South have actually demonstrat-
ed the value of the plan, and that
the capacity of the car is increased
25 per cent.
