LIBERTY BONDS GREAT FOR
ESTATES.

and a specialist in security values,
says he is advising but one thing to
persons seeking his advice relative to
investments, i.e., to purchase Liberty
Bonds.
mo investment in the world" said
Mr.. Pryor, sis safer, and viewed
from the angle of average invest
ment returns in the past, the yield is
large. Formerly when Government
bonds were paying only from 2 IL
to 3 IL per cent net it was rather
.discouraging to recommend their
purchase to investors. Now, however,
the case is very different. When you
own a Government backed security
paying 4 1-2 per cent you've got
something.
Particularly good for women in
vestors r the Liberty Bonds. They
constitute an estate more easily
handled than any other class of prop
erty. With the minimum of instruc-
ton any woman can be schooled in
how to manage and handle her bonds
so that she can not be deprived of
them, regardless of her business
equipment.
Further the tax feature is so
small asto be almost negligible. Up
to $4,000 there is no tax whatever.
From that figure up the bonds are
free from the normal tax, and sub
Ject only to the sur-tax, which in
blocks from $50 900 to $4,000 is
hardly worth mentioning. Trainers
of the laws creating these issues had
no idea of making them productive

and every effort was made to make
them attractive to buyers.
IF anyone comes in to me to in
quire relative to investing one
my unchanging formula is to buy
Liberty Bonds. In doing this it is
not possible to make a mistake or
incur loss. Other investments are
doubtless good, but who can predict
what conditions will be after the
war. Women and others whose liv-
ing depends on their incomes a not

about the values back of Liberty

The solid comfort and satisfaction OF
such an investment is, in my mind,

Relatives Should
Pay SOLDIER Taxes

Relatives or friends of soldiers who
own taxable property should make in
curry at the county treasurer's office
and ascertain whether taxes due be-
fore the soldier went into the service
have been paid. or whether the soldier
has been exempted from taxes. A stu
alton has developed regarding soldiers
taxes that is puzzling County Treasurer
cause, as the laws do not fully cover
tho subject.
Boys who entered the service In 1917
and who are known by the treasuier's
records to have been in the service in
1917, are not likely to find any trouble
regarding taxes. But the boys who
have entered the service in 1918 are in
different position. Some of these boys
went into the army leaving part of the
taxes for 1917 and due Jan. /, 1913,
unpaid. There is no law to relieve
these soldiers from the taxes Of that
year. and some one must pay them.
Notices of taxes to be paid this year
that have become delinquent are now
being mailed by the county treasurer.
Such notices are not being mailed to
soldiers that were known to have been
in the service in 1917, but the county
treasurer has no other course than to
mail notices to soldiers who did not
enter the service until this year. How
ever the county treasurer does not be-
lieve the records of his office are COM
plete regarding soldier taxpayers who
were in the service in 1917, and he
would welcome any information that
would add to them.
AS regards special taxes. such as
assessments for paving, sidewalks
sewers, etc, the state law on the SUBJ
ject makes no special provisions for
soldiers. The federal law. however
specifies these special taxes and stays
the forced collection of them on the
application made in writing by any one
Interested. This law makes the maxi
mum penalty or interest 6 per cent
What is to be done regarding these
special taxes will be up to the holder
of the certificate for the improvement
