HOW TO LOSE MONEY

A story has been told recently in
the daily press of an industrious
woman farmer, who, as the result of
years of hard work, had secured her
own cottage in addition to a sum of
money amounting to $4,000. This
she kept in notes, gold and silver in
an insecure wardrobe in her cottage.
Included with it was the sum of S240
belonging to her daughter. Natural
Is this boarded money was carried
off by thieves. At the time of writ
ing there seemed little chance of
much of it, if any, being recovered.
This story seems to carry one back
to the days before banks existed, and
it is more extraordinary since it oc-
CURED in the midst of the special
campaign for War Savings. Not
oaly might the money have been
saved in Liberty Bonds, but in ten
years the woman would have 1e-
ceived in interest S1,700. The dauPh-
ter could have bought $240 worth of
War Savings certificates bearing 4
per cent interest, compound quar-
terly. Another remarkable feature
of the case is that the woman vas
in other ways Industrious and pru-
dent and by her own efforts had done
much to maintain he food sapply
of the country as well as to advance
her owr interest. Yet this same wo-
nan through boarding her funds de-
prived the country of much needed
man power.

HOLD YOUR LIBERTY BONDS

Next to the imperative duty of
American citizens to support the Lib
cry lean is their duty to hold their
Liberty bonds. 1t is not full service
TO the country to purchase Liberty
bonds and throw them upon the mar
ket, thus putting upon others the real
burden Of financing the war. Unless
the necessity for disposing of them is
' cry great, every owner of Liberty
bond should hold fast TO it.
Holding onto one bonds means that
one has not only lent so much money
to his Government but also that he
IS net spending that money for goods,
labor, and transportation needed by
the Nation in the prosecution of the
war, and is thus leaving the resources
of the country more freely at the dis
posal Of the Government as we'll as
giving it financial backing. This is a
double service.
Secretary Baker says that the wide
distribution of the Liberty Bonds
amongst the mass Of the American
people makes our Liberty loans the
soundest national financing in history,
II is a good thing for every Liberty
bond holder to be a creditor of his or
her Government, and it is a good thing
for the Nation for its obligations to be
widely scattered amongst its citizens
and not congested into the hands of
the rich. 1t is a most hopeful thing
for the United States that the best
Investment in the world, the Liberty
bonds, are very widely distributed
amongst millions of its citizens.
Judging the future by the past, our
Government bonds issued during this
war are going to rise greatly in value
with peace. In 1888, A per cent Unit
4 IL = N-r,4s
ket as high as $3.50, and IN 1901
brought over $139-that is, S139 and
some cents for a 500 bond. That the
Liberty bonds are going to rise well
above par in value is something that
the most conservative will admit is
well within the bounds of possibility
The shrewd and INSCRIPTIONS, the
birds of prey in finance, realize the
worth of Liberty bonds, and are going
to use every effort to secure them
from the hands of those owners OF
them who are uniformed or who are
ignorant of stock and investment
values. The favorite method viii
probably be offering stock of wildcat
companies or other speculative ven.
lures. Speculative is really too con
servative a word to apply to some Of
these stocks, since to say that they
have a speculative value is fatterlne
in the extreme; they have no value al
all, except in the hands of unscrupul
is people, who trade them for money
or Liberty bonds to ignorant inves
tors.
Some of the get-rich- quick schem
ers propose not to trade their gold
brick stock for Liberty bonds but tx
lend their clients money to buy thei1
stock, taking Liberty bonds as Sc
curity. This is camoufage- ;
thinIy disguised methods of securing
Liberty bonds for worthless or near
worthless stock.
Every holder of Liberty bond be
fore he disposes Of it, and especial!
before he trades it for stocks or othe1
bonds, should consult bank. Mucl
money viii be thereby saved to tn
owners of Liberty bonds and tn
finances of the American people b,
better conserved.

1t is reported for the second time
that the Government is intending to
send men around to see how much
preserves, jellies and provisions you
have on hand; and seize or buy ali
above a certain amount for shipment
to France. This is a German born lie;
a scheme to secure large amounts of
food by swindlers. The American
Government has no such intention,

so that he wont have to buy so much
in market that can be shipped aboard.

four baskets in rapid succession. Be-
midi evened up the count at 80 and
both teams see-sawed during the first
half, which ended 16 to IL with the
locals on the long end. In the sec
ond half the Bemidu team speeded
up, shooting baskets in Rapid sue

team work, the short fast passes
playing a prominent part.
