WHAT THE LIBERTY BOND DOES

Having bought Liberty Bonds most
purchasers would like to know in what
particular way the money they have so
gladly given is to be expended in the
conduct of the great war that has en-
Quilted the world. In response to this
silent appeal the War Department Of
the United States Government has
computed the cost of various things
and just what bonds of different de-
nominations will do Five hundred
$1000-bonds, for instance, will buy an
amount of powder equal to the output
for one day of one of the Government
powder plants while one $50-bond will
provide one soldier in the American
Evolutionary Forces with food for
practically four months or exactly 116
days and a tiny fraction over.
One $1,000 bond will provide one 16-
inch shell, ready to fire; or smokeless
powder enough to propel three 16-inch
coast shells and T. N. T. enough to
burst SO three-inch Stokes Mortar
shells. Six $10O-bonds will provide 10
airplane flares or so three-inch shells.
One $500-bond will provide two ma
chine guns or 800 steel helmets. Two
500 and one $50bond will purchase
meat cans for two soldier companies,
or bacon cans. for four soldier compa-
MES, or 800 intrenching shovels.

THE SIX ISSUES OF LIBERTY
BONDS

Three Liberty Loans and six issues
of Liberty bonds, so easily understood
by the financier, need little explana-
ton to those patriotic citizens who are
just beginning to place their savings
in Government bonds. The Govern
ment has sold three issues of bonds,
the First Liberty Loan 31a% bonds,
the Second Liberty 40 bonds, and the
Third Liberty loan 4A% bonds. The
first and second issues were made con-
vertible into those that followed Con
terms stated Within. When the First
31as and Second As are converted into
higher interest rate bonds the bonds
received bear the appellation First"
or Second" of the bonds converted
and are like them in respect to due
date and redemption conditions.
Otherwise they are like the issues into
which they are converted, that is, as
to interest rates, issue dates, and con-
version and tax exemption privileges.
Thus First 4 means 40 bond con-
veted from a First 31a. In this way
there are now six issues of Liberty
bonds, three original and three con-
verified issues.

BUYING BONDS
is NOW A HABIT

tn buv q Liberty Bond has become
q habit with the people OF the United
states a growing habit, and no one is
comnlaining This is proven by the
figures. -
Loan was announced ana 'he cam
paign began one month Eater. Two
billion dollars in 312%o bones were Of
fered and brought four and one half
million subscribers. The supscrlp-
tions amounted in all 10 more than
three billion dollars, of which only
two billion were allotted. The out
standing feature of this first loan was
the promptness with which it was ar
ranged and conducted. Taking only
two weeks to be formed and selling to
four and one half million people
where only 100000 people were habit
nal purchasers of bonds, presents al
most a miracle in finance.
To the Second Liberty Loan, offered
for sale Oct. l. 1917 and closed Oct. q,
1917. there were nine million subscrib-
ers and the amount subscribed was
S4.617,532,000 Only S3,S0S, 1855, $50
was allotted The outstanding feature
of this campaign was the important
part which labor, fraternal organiza-
tions and the women of the country
had in it.
The Third Liberty Loan campaign
was inaugurated on April 6, 1918, the
anniversary of the entrance of this
country into the war. Three billion
dollars were offered. About seventeen
million people subscribed $4,17O 109,-
$50, all of which was allotted. This
campaign was made notable by its
wide distribution among the people
and the large response made to it by
the rural districts.
The newest loan, the Fighting
Fourth, is to be placed on sale Sept.
g. The sale will close Oct. 10, pc
riod of but three weeks. Within that
time it will be necessary to sell very
much larger volume of bonds than was
sold in any of the three preceding
campaigns. The amount of bonds to
be offered has not been officially an
nounced but because of smaller de-
mands being made upon us to finance
our Allies not more than five billions
may be offered.
However. it is certain that the
amount offered for sale will mark the
Fourth Loan as one of the greatest
pieces of governmental financing that
the world has, ever known. If only
five billion dollars Of the Fourth Lib
erty Loan are offered for sale and are
disposed of within three weeks, it will
be The largest offering ever made by
any government and subscribed to in
SO short time.
The new loan is "The Fighting
Fourth, title that has been adopted
for it by the Publicity Committee of
the New England District. Our army
in France has begun to take its stride
and additions to the army from now
on will show in a growing degree the
lighting spirit manifested up to the
present time. The people of the United
States, the stay-at-homes, in subscrib
ing to the Fighting Fourth Liberty
Loan are simply keeping step to the
same tune which is animating our sol
diers and sailors and airmen

Fighting Fourth Liberty Loan
Facts and Figures
WHERE THE MONEY
CONES FROM

where does all the money come
war;" The question is common one
but the facts are assuring. There is
in reality, more gold in this country
today than there was before the war;
and certainly there is much more pa
per money
According to a statement from
Washington there is more actual
money, gold, silver and paper cur
rency in circulation now than at any
previous time in the Nations history,
and there is a bigger share for every
man, woman and child.
In brief, it is wealth, or goods, in
some form which has been destroyed.
The cost of the war is largely repre-
sented by the destruction Of goods, re-
ferable to money only as a means of
recording their value, and that money,
in this sense, plays a role secondary
to goods. 1t is the quantity of goods
demanded by war which forms the
real economic expense of this terrible
struggle. Money remains; goods are
destroyed. The war is really being
carried on by credit.
A United States Treasury report on
August IS showed S., 559, 900, 900 in cir
7O0,0O0,000 more than a
year ago and SITS 100000 more than a
month previous, making an average of
$5244 for each person
These figures on the stock of money
bear little relation to the nations &C
tual wealth or to it's credit resources,
since these amount to many times the
actual money available.
The ability of the government to
/ borrow and to obtain enormous sums
of purchasing power over goods need
ed in the war, thus depends not only
on the wealth of the country, but also
upon its sound finance and the skilled
mobilization of its resources. That
the finances of the United States are
sound, the mobilization of it's re-
sources skilled and the confidence of
it's people in them absolute. is more
than proved by the rapidity and eager
ness with which its three Liberty
Loans have been over subscribed.
That the Fighting Fourth, about to
| be launched, will meet with an equal
response cannot be doubted by any
one who knows the spirit of the Amer
! lean people.

WHY BONDS FLUcTUATE

Fluctuation in the current price Of
Liberty Bonds, SO bothersome to the
person who is unaccustomed to bonds,
should not alarm them as it in no way
affects the real value of the bonds.
Bonds are like other commodities,
prices go up and down according to
demand and supply. There are now
more sellers than buyers because
those who wish more bonds are patri-
otically saving their money to buy
from the Government when the next
loan is offered, and those who have
been unable to pay for their bonds, or
for other reasons have been compelled
to sell them, are offering them for sale.
The result is a current market below
par.
This should not disturb bond-hold-
ers or raise any question as to the real
value of the bonds. They will be paid
for by the Government at the full face
amount when due, and in the mean
time, interest will be paid promptly so
that the bonds form an ideal invest
ment

The Red Triangle VS.. fhe

PARIS, Sept. 1 by Maib-In the very
heart of a French port town, where traf-
fic is thickest, there stood a bar room. 1t
was Just at the point where sailors or
soldiers thirst was greatest as he trudged
up the hill. 1t did rafting good business
such a good business that the authorities
kept special eye on it,
Whenever a military policeman had
to this bar to see how many men We're
draped over it. Accordingly, its trade
languished, for there are more desirable
things to do than to be a consistent
drinker in the most conspicuous place in
town.
Before long the madame found that her
business had fallen on evil ways. her
success had been so great that it had fall

A public sale was announced-a sale of
all the oh so beautiful fixtures With
out thought of price, everything would

Every one in town knew of it. And
when you say ''every one," you include
Arthur S. Taylor, who used to be news
paper man in Philadelphia, and who is
now the head Y NJ c. A. in the district
of the port town.
So he went to the sale. And when the
bidding fell off, and the madame wrung
her hands because the price was so low,
then up stepped Mr.. Taylor and bought
all the fixtures for the Y. NJ c. A.
After that he dickered with the land
lord and came to an agreement which
permitted him to leave the fixtures
where they were, to leave the bar where
it was-but to change what passed across
the bar.
That was only little while ago. But
today as you mount the hill of the town,
as YOU see the doors of the bar stretching
out their invitation to bring in your thirst
and have it quenched, you will see a
strange thing. Over the door you will
see in large letters the words:
THE RED TRIANGLE.
Inside behind the bar you will see
an American girl in the sky blue uniform
of the canteen workers. And you VIII
see sailors and soldiers leaning Their
elbows on the shining mahogany and hear
them say things like this:

Think of it! Sodas, in France! And
yet this is only one of three places in that

another American girl selling soda checks

CONVERSION OF LIBERTY BONDS

1t is often asked by owners of Lib
erty Bonds if it is wise to convert
their first and second issues into high
er interest rate bonds. To them
it should be said that the First 37@s
are completely tax exempt and conse-
quently there is demand for them by
presons subject to high rates of addi-
tional taxes. This demand has caused
them to sell higher in the market than
the other issues. They therefore
should not be converted, but persons
with ordinary incomes will probably
find it advantageous to sell them and
purchase AIS. 1t would seem gener-
ally advantageous to exchange the As
for ANS. This can be done only be-
fore Nov. 9, 1918 Most banks will at
tend to exchanges, sales and pur-

HELP THE GOVERNMENT

Purchasers of Liberty Bonds who
wish to help the Government to the
fullest extent should keep the bonds
which they have purchased, and when
they buy additional bonds do SO from
the Government during loan offerings
rather than in the open market, as the
money paid for bonds purchased in the
market does not go to the Government
but simply to previous holders. On
the other hand, those who must real
ize upon their investment can always
do so at the market price.

Music a War Horror.

A grim story is told Of an air raid on
Paris. If It's truth were not vOuched
for by the most respectable authority
one would say that it was an invention
of De Maupassant in his most macabre
vein. While the work Of rescue was
going on by candle light in one of the
houses which had suffered most the
crowd was suddenly Mortified by the
defiant notes Of the "Rakoczy March"
blared out apparently by strong brass
band. Every one was aghast at so
brutal an insult till the tenant of a
flat on an upper floor said that he had
an orchestrion which played that par
ticular tune. The explosion must have
set it in motion. At the risk Of their
lives some firemen managed to reach
the machine but in the dark, and not
knowing about It's mechanism, they
could not stop 1t. It went on till the
door on which it stood collapsed.
