WHY WE BUY BONDS

The great surge of patriotic effort which is roll ing up the Fourth Liberty Loan is an inspiring tr- bute to the spirit of sacrifice which prevails at home matching the reckless courage of our soldiers in France.
 By no stretch of imagination could America, ac- customed to big returns from it's investments, be conceived investing in 41a per cent bonds from mo- tives of selfish profit. Our estimated wealth IS $2500O0,OO00O0 and our present estimated net in- come $5OOOO 900 annually, return of twenty per cent. !
 Besides income, we are sacrificing luxuries and many things to which we had become accustomed, but which the war has shown can do without, in order to buy more Liberty Bonds.
 It is the more encouraging, therefore, to find this course pronounced economically and financially wise we'll periodically necessary.
 Frank B. Anderson, San Francisco banker, and vce-chaiman of the General Executive Board of the Twelfth Federal calls attention to the fact that at present we pay $1.60 for what, after the war and long before Liberty Bonds come up for redemption, we can buy for dollar.
 He points out: "Every dollar saver today and invested in Liberty Bonds
 First, aids in keeping rising prices down;
 Second, is dollar that will have the purchas- ing power of a dollar after the
 Present prices caused by the population competing with the Government; the Government cannot refrain from buying. THE PEOPLE MUST! There is not enough production for both.
 "You feel ashamed under ordinary circumstances to pay $1.6O for something you know is only worth dollar. Why not go without it and save your money for the time when the normal purchasing power of dollar has been restored?
 Every dollar that is spent is demand on labor and is competing with the Government for the labor and the product that it needs and must have to bring the to early end".

book was purchased by Mrs. Abbott's

"Printed at London by Bonham Nor

title page carries. and the excellent
workmanship Of the volume proves the
ability of its early producers.
The Bible, Mrs. Abbott says, could
tell interesting tales If 1t had the gift

New Orleans, and at earlier battles in
