LIBERTY BONDS AT MATURITY
WILL HAVE PAID $185 FOR 500

Few persons purchasing the present
issue OF Liberty Loan Bonds realize
that if they continue to hold the bands
to maturity the total amount of I'M
compounded interest they will receive
from every 500 bond will be approx
imately only SIS less than the origi-
nal 500 they paid for the bond.
This, however, is the case as the
bonds bear l-2 per cent interest and
run to 1888, twenty years. Each
years interest is $4.25, so that at the
end of twenty years the total will be
$50 on every 500 bond. Then when
the time of. maturity comes the own
er gets back his full 500, thus re-
ceiving $185 for his original 500 pay
ment.
And during the years of the bonds
life he has an investment which will
never keep him awake nights worry
ing. He is as certain as it is possible
to be certain of anything in human af-
fairs that no interest dates the inter-
est will be paid, and that in 1888 the
United States Treasury will have
money ready for paying the principal.
Further, during the period that the
Government is his debtor, the bond
holder will enjoy the satisfaction of
knowing he has done a patriotic duty,
in addition to the concrete and tangi-
BILE satisfaction derived from knowl-
edge that he possesses the best in
vestment into which money was ever
put. At every and all times during
the loan term the bond is as good as
the day he bought it or will present
it for redemption in the coin of the
country.
In what better form would it be pos
sible to pass on wealth to children
and grandchildren than in Liberty
Bonds? 1t is impossible to conceive
of more safe and desirable legacy
than one of Government Bonds. Pro-
vision has been made that any of the
present issue of bonds which have
been owned by any person continu-
ously for six months prior to his
death, and which constitute part of
his estate, shall be receivable by the
United States at par and accrued in
terest in payment of any estate or in
heritance tax imposedsby the United
States under any law present or fu-
ture
In framing the act authorizing the
loan, Congress endeavored to include
every feature calculated to make the
bonds popular with the great mass of
people, and useful economically in
years to come. On amounts under
$4,000 the bonds are free from taxa
ton, so that the small holder is as
sured of getting every penny of his
interest.

FOURTH LIBERTY BONDS TO BE
READY FOR DELIVERY OCT. "a

According to the official notice sent
out by VIM. G. McAdoo, Secretary of
the Treasury, Washington, D. c.,
Fourth Liberty Loan Bonds will be
ready for delivery Oct. "a, 1918. They
will bear interest at the rate of A 1-2
per cent per annum and will mature
Oct. Is, 1888. Interest will be pay
able April Is and Oct. Is of each
year. The first interest date pay
able is April Is, 1919 and will be for
173 days.
The Fourth Liberty Loan Bonds
have many advantages" said ]. Hern-
don Smith, Chairman of the Metropol-
ital Division of the Liberty Loan Or
ganization. "One of the most i'm
portant to all investors is that up to
$4,000 of these bonds in the hands
of the original purchaser are free
from all taxation Except inheritance
tax. An additional advantage in con-
nection with this is that an original
purchaser of Fourth Liberty Loan
Bonds who also owns some of the
second or third issues, which are now
subject to taxation, may have these
DOIluS LlldL Ilt OWllS tACItpL ltOll Gal
taxation to the amount of one and
one-half times the original purchase
of the Fourth Liberty Loan Bonds.
AS an example, man who purchas-
es $4,000 of Fourth Liberty Loan
Bonds will be exempt from the pay
ment of all taxation against them,
such as income taxes, excess profit
taxes, etc, and in addition, if he owns
$45,000 of the second and third issues
alton, he will be relieved from the pay
ment of all taxes on them. In other
words, he may have $4,000 of bonds
exempted from all taxation Except
inheritance taxi, but he cannot be re-
lieved of taxation on second and third
Liberty Loan Bonds he now owns, ex-
cept in proportion as he is an origin
al purchase of the Fourth issue on ba-
of bonds which are now subject to tax
sis above mentioned.
"The law provides that this exemp-
tion shall be in effect until two years
after the close of the war, as fixed by
the Presidents proclamation, but ev-
eryone knows after the war is over,
the rate of taxation will be very much
less than it is at present, and further,
judging from the past, the price of
Government bonds will be very much
above par when the war is closed.
The bonds will be receivable as Sc
curity for deposits of public money but
will not bear the circulation privi-
leges. The bonds are not entitled to
any privileges of conversion into bonds
bearing higher rate of interest.

INTERESTING NOTES
ABOUT THE Y. M. c. A.

"The Y. M. C. A. IS the biggest
company in the World, is the opin-
ion of young foreigner who had
learned practically all the English he
knows in the Y. M. c. A. educational
classes for the men of the National
Army. Everywhere we go we see big
buildings marked "Y. M. c. A." Camp
Grant, Camp Upton, Camp Cody, on
boats coming over, in England, in
France-everywher the "Y" greets
US like the old friend"
As a matter of fact, the "Y" is now
established in $50 different camps.
The largest Y. M. C. A. hut in Ameri-
ca is at the Hog Island shipbiulding
yards. The building, POT by 1874 feet,
cost $4,000. Its equipment cost $780,
600. 1t is stated by corps of twen-
ty-nine "Y" workers.
More than 5000 Y. M. G. A. trained
secretaries, educational, religious, So
cial are at work in the United States
army camps and training stations,
while more than 1000 are serving the
Allies in France. One thousand new
workers are being sent overseas at the
rate of $50 month to work in the
Foyer des Soldats upon the direct re-
quest of Premier Clemenceau and
General Petain.
When the United States troops are
moved a Y. M. C. A. man goes with
every boat or train. Each train, for
example, has its uniformed Y. M. G..
A. secretary, carrying with him story
books, song books, games, stationery
and other things that his brothers in
arms will enjoy. At minor stops,
where the men are not allowed to
leave the trains the "Y" man alights
and makes any requested purchases
for them. One war work secretary
recently arranged, eight hours in adj
vance, for the soldiers on his train to
have various refreshing swims in Y.
NJ. C. A. natatoriums, club pools, etc,
the train once being sidctracked at a
river so that the boys could splash
about.
Irvings Berlin's song,"I can always
find little sunshine in the Y. M. c.
A., which was ore of the feature
numbers of the soldier show, "Yip,
Zip, Yaphank," for which Berlin COM
posed the music, is sweeping through
the army and navy camps in the East
and bids fair to become one of the
standard soldier and sailor songs.
Naturally, the regular Y. M. C. A..
song leaders do not introduce it. The
men are learning it themselves and
use it to brighten many gray day.

PACKERS
ARE PATRIOTIC

Chicago, Oct. 14.-American pack
ers are doing far more than merely
furnishing meat foods to the soldiers
and sailors of the United States and
her allies, according to c. S. Church
hill, Advisory Superintendent for
Swift & Company, who addressed the
American Meat Packers convention
today.
"The general public realizes little
Of the work that the packer is doing
to win the war;" said Mr.. Churchhill.
"We are furnishing a great deal of
material for the manufacture of mu-
nitions, including glycerine, potash,
and sulphuric acid. Our sheep-skins
are used to manufacture cold-proof
coats.
every pound of wool that we have
is taken by the Government as fast
as we produce it, and the price is fixed
by the Government.
There isn't pound of stock food
manufactured today that is not being
used to help win the war, because it
goes to put weight on live stock that
is badly needed by our soldiers and
sailors.
"The tons of fertilizer which we
manufacture, aid in growing more
crops that will be used later to feed
more soldiers to fight the hun. Glue
has its uses. Soap certainly is big
item. Albumen is another highly i'm
portant product; it is now used in the
construction of aeroplanes.
"There are also many other pro-
ducts, too numerous to mention, not
one of which, believe, does not have
an important place in the conduct OF
the war.
ave, of Swift & Co., believe in CIV
ing credit where credit is due and l
want to say that our labor has per-
formed cheerfully the giant tasks set
for us by the Food Administration.
No order has been too big, no job too
overwhelming for them.
Recognition of this willingness to
serve has resulted in an increase for
male labor totaling more than 100
per cent since February, 1916. In the
case of our female help the increase
has been even greater, this help now
receiving 165 per cent more than in
1916"
10 take care OI inc war DuShleSs,
Mr.. Churchill said that all the pack
ers in the country had been forced to
build new freezors and buildings of
every description at cost of two or
three times greater than pre-war cost.
He paid tribute to the Government
inspectors of the Bureau of Animal
Industry and of the army who select
the meat, and said:
ain addition to the safeguard that
this is to the soldier and sailor, it is
safeguard to US. 1t safeguards US
from attack from those who for their
own personal ACKNOWLEDGEMENT or for
other reasons may seek to criticise
unjustly one of the few industries
that in the early days of the war, and
up to the present time, has continued
to supply our Government with what
it wanted, as it wanted it, when it was
needed, without bubble as to price.
"That is a record of which we
should be proud, gentlemen. 1t DEM
onstrates that we are doing--not our
bit, but our full share toward winning
this war, doing it cheerfully, willing
y and because we are in this war to
win, our soldiers must be fed and fed
with good food"

HOLDING BONDS is NEXT
IN IMPORTANCE TO BUYING

st. Louis bankers and members of
the Liberty Loan Organization are
emphasizing in the present drive the
value of Liberty Bonds as a perma-
nent investment. Second only in i'm
portance to purchasing bonds is hold
ing on to them. To buy bonds with
the view of simply fulfilling a patri-
otto obligation, then selling them is
poor patriotism and defeats the prin-
cipal economic benefit which nation
al loan is supposed to effect.
1t can be readily seen by even an
amateur in finance that buying Lib
erty Bonds and shortly afterward
selling them is not helping the Gov
eminent much. The person who buys
your bond secondhand would probab-
ly have purchased one direct, so that
when you dispose of bond you elimi-
nate a possible subscriber to a new
issue.
The United States Government
wants your money for at least the du-
ration of the war, and until the last
of its public loans has been made for
winning complete and final victory.
When the war is over it matters less
what disposition holders make of
their securities The Government
then will not be borrower in the
present sense and its bonds will enter
the general classification of invest
ments.
The great mass of intelligent cit
liens seem well to understand and ap.
preciate this feature of the loans. No
doubt of this is left by the relatively
few transfers of Liberty Bonds in the
open market when the vast size of the
issues is considered. An enormous
majority of holders are clinging to
their bonds, and doubtless will con-
tinue to do so indefinitely.
1t will be matter of great pride
and something to properly boast of
in years to come for individuals and
families to own the original Liberty
Bonds which they acquired during the
initial sales of the several issues.
Next to evidence of honors won in the
field, there can be no better badge of
true patriotism and Americanism than
proof of helping the Nation financial
ly to win the war.
And in addition to the patriotic fea-
ture the material side is to be con-
sidered. No parent can bequeath
more substantial and surer inheri-
lance to children than wealth in Gov
eminent bonds and no corporation
could possibly have it's surplus in an
investment one-half as good. The
temptation may arise to sell your
bonds, but the part of sound financial
policy and patriotism is to hold them
always.

THE "Y" WOMAN A
GREAT INSTITUTION

Clarence Burlington Kelland, writ
ing from Paris, wakes eloquent con-
corning the colossal commissary de-
pots of the American army. "Uncle
SAM" he says, sis in the wholesale
business raised to the nth power. l
have just seen one of his commissary
depots, and my eyes are still bullying
with the bigness of it all. Then | re-
member that this is one of many, and
the biggest Wholesale grocery or hard
ware or supply house in America
seems puny by comparison. You have
to think of this establishment of I'm
Gle Sans in units of acres, almost of
miles"
"Back in America we heard folks
complaining that America was not on
the job. If office kickers could come
to France and see what the army has
done here in less than a year they
would go home more content"
But the greatest institution" of
all, according to Mr.. Kelland, was
found in the Y. M. C. A. canteen work
ers, who are always son the job" and
who know how to talk to Annex boys.
"The 'Y' woman in a permanent
camp like this is great institution"
holds Mr.. Kelland. "She gets ac-
quainted. She sews on buttons. She
chats with the boys, and they come to
her with their tales of woe. Because
she can be personal, and have an in
terest in each and every one of them,
her influence is amazing.
"The mere fact of a woman being
there is fine. 1t holds the boys up to
the scratch. 1t even affects their
personal appearance.
Here are four young women, shut
off from the world, the only women in
a camp containing thousands of men.
And they are having the time of their
lives. Many more are needed for such
jobs. and America must supply them.
"These places are the social center
and give the social life to the COM
missary town. 1t needs some relaxa-
ton, for it is remarkably busy and
hard working place."

RE-CHICKENIZE FRANCE

Here is new opportunity for the
Daughters of the American Revolut-
ion to help France by interesting the
children in cur communities in plan
originated by the American Commit
tee for Devastated France.
Will you not organize campaign
in your locality Which will teach the
children of America the value Of thrift
and scif-sacrifice, and the happiness
of doing something really worth
while for the children of devastated
France.
10 cents puts an egg in an incubat-
or, or rs cents places a chick on a
French farm. The Matching eggs are
in Southern France and Spain, the in
cubators are now in France,-the
dimes needed to combine the two are
in the pockets of an American child.
Every dime means an egg-every
quarter means chicken-and every
dime and quarter helps-but 1000
dimes establish a Poultry Farm with
two incubators, 1000 eggs, and pays
the salary for one year of wounded
soldier to act as poultryman.
To everyone donating ten or twenty
five cents to this cause a button is
given, and the button shows on it the
picture of a hen, and says in an in
scription around the edge, 81 have a
chicken in France"
Children Immediately become great
ly interested in this plan of feeding
their allies-the boys and girls of
France, and the adoption" of a poul-
try farm makes a strong appeal to
groups of children, such as Sunday
school classes, gymnasium classes in
recreation parks, clubs of boys and
girls, Boy Scouts and Campfire Girls,
children and sons of the Republic
Clubs, societies and children of the
American Revolution, etc.
1t is most desirable that the chill
dren undertaking this really important
work make it personal sacrifice by
themselves going without something,
and giving the dimes so saved to the
hungry children of France.
To deny themselves two soda-wa-
tiers, or to wash and iron a hair-rib-
bon or a tie, in order to give the dime
so saved to help win the war by keep
ing alive the boys and girls in France,
will put our own children in tune with
what it means to keep freedom alive
will make them understand some
thing of the personal sacrifice men and
women are making that our flag re-
mains flag of honor for them to car
ry in the future.
The success of the campaign to re-
chickenize France will mean life to
the children of France-it will mean
the beauty of sacrifice and the glow
of a deed well done to the children of
America.
Hon. Myron T. Herrick, former
Ambassador to France, is President,
and Miss Anne Morgan is First Vice
President of this Committee which is
recognized and approved by the
French Government"

stimulate the spirit Of patriotic sacri-
fee in the children of America?
