LIBERTY LOAN INTEREST RATES

Secretary McAdoo officially corrects
a statement appearing in various
newspapers that the Fourth Liberty
Loan will bear interest at the rate of
of Az per cent. He states that no
thought has been entertained of issu-
ing the bonds of the fourth loan at a
higher rate than Az per cent.
1t is interesting to recall here the
Secretary's appeal in his Third Liberty
Loan speeches that the rate of inter
est for Government loans be stabilized
at Az per cent. He said then that as
an intelligent people we should make a
stand for the financing Of our Govern
ment during the period of the war at
stabilized rate of interest, naming
AN per cent as the proper figure, so
that all business and investments
might be adjusted on that basis. In
his letter to Majority Leader Kitchin
he strongly urges stabilizing the rate
at " per cent.
The Secretary of the Treasury has
also asserted he did not think that
the patriotism of the American people
was measured by the rate of interest
on Government bond, and the sup
port the people gave the Third Lib
erty Loan seems to have justified his
belief.

the other sifted dry ingredients.
When corn meal is used, mix--do

Suggestions: The wheat substitute
recipes given below show that wide
variety of combinations is possible
even when limited to the use Of .
few substitutes.
All of the combinations are good.
In nearly all cases combination OF
substitutes makes a better product
than the use of only one substitute.
