Indebtedness.

Bankers throughout the Eighth Fed
eral Reserve District are entering
heartily in the Governments plan TO
dispose Of the $750,000,000 United
States Treasury Certificates of Indebt-
edness.
The quota for the st. Louis District
is S30,000,000, issued June % Similar
offerings OF the certificates, not to ex-
coed eight issues, will be made every
two weeks until the Fourth Liberty
Loan Campaign. Then these short
term certificates, maturing October
"A. may be turned in for the long-term
Liberty Bonds.
BY the banks taking the certificates
at each Offering, the money goes into

BANKERS ARE PATRIOTIC
Are Proving Their loyalty in Aiding
Government to Finance
the War.

The splendid spirit of patriotism
manifested by the bankers throughout
the Eighth Federal Reserve District
in previous Liberty Loan Campaigns
is being more than maintained in the
preliminary campaign for the Fourth
Loan that began June %, when the
first series of $750,000,000 Of United
States Treasury Certificates OF Indebt-
ednessi was offered to the banks.
No more patriotic and intelligent
body Of men than the men comprising
the banking element exists anywhere.
They make a deep study Of finance.
They watched the mistakes made by
Germany and our Allies in financing
the war, and they do not hesitate to
place the stamp Of approval on the
methods adopted by the United States
Government to avoid repetition of the
mistakes.
This plan of Certificates of Indebt-
edness spreads out the demand that
will be made this fall on the country
at large for the Fourth Loan, and the
money that is realized from raw mate
rails and labor will go through the
channels of commerce and return to
the country for reinvestment this fall.
The certificates form the basis for
a system of credits which will relieve
the country Of great strain it would
experience il the certificate plan had
not been adopted.

Gates Of Indebtedness up to 21a per

issue.
The bankers are requested to make
this calculation not on the figures
shown in the latest published state
ment. but on the footings made on the
day the subscription is placed.
The Certificates of Indebtedness are
offered only to bankers. They will be

That the establishment Of the sugar
beet industry in Ohio will result in an
Increase Of S20.0Oo,OO0 In the value OF
farm lands In the state by the end Of
the present year is the statement Of @.
II. Allen, a banker Of Paulding, o.
"Ohio and Indiana should become as
great producers Of sugar as Michigan"
said Mr.. Allen, land they will unless
hostile legislation by congress inter-
feres with the natural development Of
this industry. In Paulding county
alone, although the beet sugar factory
here has been In operation only two
years. the value Of farm property has
increased 100000 as a result of the
Introduction Of sugar beet culture An
other result has been. the investment Of
s5,0OO,o0O or more In other beet sugar
factories In this section OF the state
within the past year, which in turn
will vastly increase the value OF the
farm land surrounding them, adding
$50 100000 or mere to the agricultural
wealth Of this region.
aside from the direct financial 10
turns that have followed the estab-
nshment OF the sugar beet industry In
Ohio. there are numerous other benefits
which, though not 80 direct, are no
less fmportant. TO obtain good results
from beet culture farmers have found
It necessary TO put more hand labor
on the hnd. The result Is that thou
sands Of men. women and children
are being taken from the overcrowd-
ed sections of the cities Of the state
and set to work on the land, q back to
the farm movement that Is OF real
practical value. 49,
This increased tillage Of the soil Is
the very best-and. in fact, the only
effective-means OF overcoming the
weeds that are the chronic enemies OF
the farmer, choking his crops and ex-
hausung his soil. Besides all this, we
have found that every other crop rails

yield.
