WASHINGTON, Nov. 16.-The prob
lem regarding war workers in Wash
ington is not how they are going to be
provided for when the business Of
their jobs is done, but how to keep
them working until everything is
cleaned up. With the signing of the
armistice terms many war workers left
their jobs, although the routine work
OF departments is probably heavier
now than it has been at any time since
this country entered the war. The war
workers arguments amounted to thisi

DON'T SELL YOUR BOND
BY HAROLD A. LAMB
OF the viqilantes.

Your Liberty bond-whether 1t Is for
$50 or $5,O0O-is your savings. To
sell 1t is to lose your savings. The
longer you keep your bond. the more
valuable 1t is going to be.
1t does no good to Uncle Sam to
subscribe to his loan, and then sell the
amount of your subscription. Many
Of us have strained ourselves to buy
the bonds, and necessity may force
some of us to get the money back.
But the way to do this is not to sell
bond. Dishonest sharpers will take
your bonds and give you, say. $50 for
the 500.
If you must have money, go to re-
liable bank or broker. They will lend
you 500 on the 500, and the interest
on your bond will nearly pay the in
terest on the money they lend you.
Then by paying the loan, you can have
the bond back.
Uncle Sans securities are making
money for you while you hold them.
