BOOTH WILL Open
A! EIGHT A. N.
THE BAND WILL BE OUT AND
EVERY ONE WILL BE
THERE TO BOOST.

The Liberty Bond Sale in Emmons
county is to open Monday morning at
eight o'clock sharp. 1t is planned to
raise the Linton quota in as short a
time as possible, and Chairman Cam
eron has arranged to have booth or
a tent in the center of Broadway
where the people of Linton can sign
up for their bonds.
There are several features to be
considered in raising our quota as
quick as possible, and if the people
of this city will only pull together
on this we had ought to have our quo
Ia all signed up in at least fifteen
minutes after the booth opens. The
idea is to be the first town in the
state to telegraph to headquarters
that We have raised the amount allot-
ted to us, and if we do this it is GER
tainly going to put Linton on the
map. It is going to be cinch to do
this if everyone who has been allot-
ted their share of bonds will only make
it point to be at the booth at eight
o'clock sharp. 1t will be one of the
biggest honors that Linton can carry
of and one that every citizen can be
proud Of.
It is planned. to have the band out
to play some popular airs and to give
the doings lot of pep" and put it
over with bang that will give the
Kaiser the scare of his life, and show
him how quickly the people of the
Good Old U. S. A. responds to our
government for the call for help.
Each individual has been allotted
their share and vs. long as they are
going to take bonds, they might as
well sign up for them at eight o'clock
in the morning as the payment on ap-
plication is only per cent and the
next payment is not due until May
28th. If you cannot be there Mon
day morning the committee would like
to have you get card from one of
them and have it made out and then
have some one turn in the card for
you.
The names Of all the buyers of
bonds in Linton will be published in
the Record.
Here are few of the salient points
of most general interest in regard to
this loan:
The loan will be three billion dollars
(S3, ,000, ,000,0O0), the government re-
serving the right to allot bonds up to
the full amount of any oversubscrip-
tion.
The government has asked the
Ninth Federal Reserve district to sub
scribe minimum of $105,OO0, 900.
But A. R. Rogers, district director,
] has apportioned the loans by states
so as to insure s125 100000.
The bonds will bear interest at Az
per cent per annum. They will be
dated and will bear interest from May
9, 1918, and will mature September
10, 1923. The interest dates will be
Sept. Is and March J5, the first cou-
pom bearing interest for 129 days.
The bonds are not convertible, and
are not subject to, call for redemption
| before matured. The fact that the
government has made these ten year
bonds is taken by many as an indica-
tion that the officials at Washington
are not looking for the war to last
many years
The government has provided that
the bonds may be paid for in the fol-
lowing installments:
Five per cent on application. 20
per cent. on May 2Sth. 35 per cent.
on July 18th, and 40 per cent. on
August 18th. Payment in full may
be made with the application or be-
fore May ath, but bonds will not be
delivered before May 9th on any sub.
scription for an amount exceeding
$4,000.
