ers was 18,3O8,325, or 17.7 per cent of

New York State led in the volume

DO VAST BORROWINGS
Of j. s. To WIN WAR
. CAUSE YOU WORRY?
Think of the Many Opportunities for
investment Which the War
Loans Offer. =

The vast borrowings of the govern,
ment made necessary by the war have
startled good many patriotic but
short think lzasssssazsts tssassssFs
perhaps, they feel that an eXaeting de-
mand is being made on everybody and
they grow uneasy and restless.
Private and public expenditures are
being curbed right and left so that the
government may have more and more
money.
But the money is staying right here
in this country. And the great gov
ernment war issues afford excellent
investment opportunities to the bust:
ness man. He can loan his capital to
the government at Az per cent inter
est, rate which after the war will
make a security of such safety gilt
edged, and he can get his capital back
at time when it's purchasing power.
will be greatly increased.
Financiers Study Situation.
"No doubt these factors will Le ap-
preciated in time and the bonds will
ultimately find their proper market
levels,' says the Wall Street Journal
That financial journal goes on to say
that the under par prices quoted cur
ing the summer on some of the issues
reflect only temporary condition. 1t
says further that every effort is being
made and will be made by the Secre-
tary of the Treasury to see that all
legislation which has to do with money
will work out to the benefit Of the
bondholder.
Financiers who have studied the
loan sales, which have been compare
! lively few, report that large number
Of the transactions are started by mis-
informed holders of small amounts of.
bonds who do not understand the tax
, statutes.
"A great many small investors in
