WHAT THE LIBERTY BOND DOES

Having bought Liberty Bonds most
pu 'chasers would like to know in what
pa .ticular way the money they have so
gE dly given is to be expended in the
CO.. lduct of the great war that has en-
gu fed the world. In response to this
sill mt appeal the War Department of
th, United States Government has
co imputed the cost of various things
an just what bonds of different de-
nominations will do. Five hundred
S1N00-bonds. for instance, will buy an
an cunt of powder equal to the output
fo one day of one of the Government
po Tder plants while one S50-bond will
provide one soldier in the American
e peditionary. Forces with food for
p actically four months or exactly 116
d;lts and tiny fraction over.
One $1,000 bond win provide one 16-
in, h shell, ready to fire; or smokeless
pc yder enough to propel three 16-inch
coast shells and T. n. T. enough to
burst SO three-inch Stokes Mortar
shells. Six S100-bonds will provide 10
airplane flares or so three-inch shells.
One S500-bond will provide two ma
chine guns or 800 steel helmets. Two
ll$100 and one S50-bond will purchase
Itmeat cans for two soldier companies,
INor bacon cans for four soldier compa-
ltnies. or 500 intrenching shovels.

WHY BONDS FLucTUATE

! Fluctuation in the current price of
Liberty Bonds, so bothersome to the
iperson who is unaceustomed 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. syfs
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 sc
that the bonds form an ideal inves.
ment

THE SIX ISSUES OF LIBERTY
BONDS

Three Liberty Loans and six issues,
of Liberty bonds, so easily understood
by the financier, need a little expIana-
ton to those patrioticacitizens who are
just beginning TO place their savings
in Government bonds. The Govern
ment has sold three issues Of bonds,
the First Liberty Loan $40 bonds,
the Second Liberty 496 bonds, and the
Third Liberty loan 4149o bonds The
first and second issues were made con-
vertible into those that followed ION
terms stated within). When the First
3lss 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 a First 4 means a 40 bond con-
verted from First 31a. In this way
there are now six issues of Liberty
bonds, three. original and three con-
verted issues. ~"

Fighting Fourth Liberty Loan
Facts and Figures
BUYING BONDS
is NOW A HABIT

To buy Liberty Bond has become
habit with the people, of the United
States, growing habit, and no one is
complaining. This is proven by the
figures.
On May 2, 1917, the First Liberty
Loan was announced and the cam
paign began one month later. Two
billion dollars in 3129 % bonds were Of
fered and brought four and one half
million subscribers. The subscrip-
tons amounted in all to more than
three billion dollars, Of which only
two billion were allottee! 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 300,0 900 people were habit.
ual purchasers of bonds, presents al.
most a miracle in finance.
To the Second Liberty Loan, offered
for sale Oct. /, 1917 and closed Oct. 27.
1917, there were nine million subscrib-
ers and the amount subscribed was
$4,617 $4,000. Only $3,SO8, 1855, $50
was allotted. The outstanding feature
of this campaign was the important
part which labor, fraternal organiza-
tons 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 S4,170, 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.
2S The sale VIII close Oct. 10, pc
riod of but three weeks. Within that
time it will be necessary to sell a 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. ii will
be the largest Offering ever made by
any government and subscribed TO in
so short a times
The new loan is THE Fighting
Fourth, title that has been adopted
for 1t 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
| fighting spirit manifested up to the
present time. The people of the United
States. the staYsat-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.

CONVERSION OF LIBERTY BONDS

Z =
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 3hs
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 4l4s. 1t would seem gener-
ally advantageous to exchange the As
for AIS. This can be done only be-
fore Nov. 8, 1918. Most banks will at
tend to exchanges, sales and pur-
,chases.

WHERE THE MONEY
CONES FROM

Where does all the money come
from to- carry on this stupendous
war = The. question is a common one
bat 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 means of
recording their value, and that money,
in this sense, plays 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 1858, 00O, 900 in cir
culation- $700,000,000 more than a
year ago and SITS, 1000, 900 more than
month previous, making an average of
| S52.44 for each person
| These figures on the stock of money
4 bear little relation to the nations ac-
/ tual wealth or to it's credit resources,
/ since these amount to many times the
] actual money available.
/ The ability of the government to
I 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
uLon its sound finance and the skilled
| mobilization OF its resources. That
the finances of the United States are
sound, the mobilization of its re-
sturces skilled and the confidence of
its people in them absolute, is more
than proved by the rapidity and eager
ness with which it's 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
o1ss who knows the spirit of the Amer
lean people.

Horses In Vermont tG =.

BURLINGTON, Sept. 9.-Vermont
Morgan horses, famed the world over.
probably will be imported by the Jap

and heavy civilian work as the result
of a visit here of NJ Ishiboshi, official
representative of the japanese Imperial
army, VH
He has visited the United States gov
eminent Morgan breeding farm at Mid

United States army and was we'll
pleased with the stock. He stated that
he thought that the Morgan horse
would be moro suited for the needs Of
the Japanese army andJapan 5 civilian
population than any type he had ever
viewed. He has been in the United
States for about. three months, landing
at San Francisco, and from the West
ern coast visited the noted horse breed
ing establishments.
The Japanese horses are too small
and too light for the heavy army work
and for the civilian work of any load.
they being more like driving horses used
IN America. The government has com
missioned him to purchase several score
of likely sires from the most promising
stock which will stand Is hands and 3
linches high.

HELP THE GOVERNMENT

Purchasers of Liberty Bonds whol
wish to help the Government to the
fullest extent should keep the bonds.
which they have purchased, and wheni
they buy additional bonds. do so from,
the Government durings 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 scan always
do so at the market price.
